Administrators, or sysops, are users who have access to technical features that help with maintenance. Those include protecting and deleting pages, blocking other editors, and undoing these actions as well. The FFXIclopedia looks to administrators to perform essential housekeeping chores that require the extra access administrators are entrusted with.
Protected pages
- There are very few protected pages in the FFXIclopedia. Most notable is the Main Page. You can suggest changes to these pages on their respective talk pages. For more information, please see FFXIclopedia:Article Protection.
Deletion and undeletion
- Watching the Articles for deletion debates and carrying out the consensus of the community on keeping or deleting these articles, keeping an eye on new and changed articles to swiftly delete obvious vandalism, and meeting user requests for help that require administrative access.
- For information and guidelines, see FFXIclopedia:Guide to Deletion. To suggest a page for deletion follow the FFXIclopedia:Guide to Deletion. Follow this guide to challenge a finalized decision to delete a page as well.
Block and unblock
- Blocking accounts is done in rare instances and typically because of vandalism or spam.
Checkuser
- The Checkuser function allows an administrator with checkuser permissions to check which IPs are used by a given username, and which usernames are used by a given IP, without having to run queries directly against the database by hand.
Moving
- Administrators have a fast mechanism to allow them to move articles to new pages or to an existing page.
Reverting
- Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.
Other access types
In addition to administrators, there are Junior Administrators. Junior Administrators have many, but not all, of the above rights. These rights include all of the above with the exception of Block/Unblock and Checkuser. Where rights are granted to the Junior Administrators they are granted in full.
