The Karate Kid Wiki:Administrator Policies

Different users have access to different fun functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, Administrators can access a few additional functions.

Section 1: Administrator Abilities

These additional functions are:

• Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
• Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
• Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
• Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Section 1.1: Bureaucrat

A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. However, he or she is not currently able to remove bureaucrat access from any user; please contact one of the community staff if you need that done.

Section 1.2: Fandom Staff

Some FANDOM staff members have full access to all FANDOM. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. FANDOM janitors have limited administrator access to all FANDOM for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on Special:Listusers/janitor on any wiki. Please see the Community Central FANDOM contact page for details on how to contact FANDOM staff.

Section 1.3: Who are this wiki's administrators?

The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access.

Section 2: Becoming an administrator

When a new administrator is needed on the wiki one of the admins will put a call out for a new admin. Depending on the situation we may just go straight to the user and ask them without putting out a request. Any user or administrator may nominate a user if they feel like they would be a good choice for the wiki.

Section 2.1: Qualification

Basic qualifications to be an Admin

• Be active and have at least 300 good constructive edits.
• Be able to work together as a team
• Be active on this wiki. (we do look at your other wiki's to make a determination as well)
• At least have 10 contrastive edits after being blocked.
  • This can very based on the block and block history
  • If blocked for any investigations, you may be lifted off this if found not guilty and/or have good cooperation with the blocking admin.

After a nomination is sent to a any of the Admins listed above and match the basic qualifications, the user will be asked questions to help us make a decision. At this point we can bring in any other administrator if we feel that more feedback is need.

Administrators are not required to be online 24/7 but are expected to be active regularly.

Section 3: Administrators Policies

Once an user becomes an Administrator they must be active on the Wiki. Every Admin should be editing or cleaning up the wiki and not just relying on one or two users to run the Wiki.
