Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki:User Rights

Rollback
Rollback, the easier and faster method of undoing edits, is granted automatically to all Sysops and Bureaucrats. It is also an ability that can be granted to users to make undoing vandalism and edits by problem users easier. On, rollback users are generally trusted users who are experienced and are capable of helping the admins with vandalism.

A list of Autoconfirmed users with rollback powers can be seen here.

Administrators
Administrators are editors who have been entrusted with access to restricted technical features ("tools") which help with maintenance. They are basically a small set of editors the wiki considers to be highly trustworthy, mature and responsible, able to lead by example.

Because administrators are expected to be experienced members of the community, those seeking help will often turn to an administrator for advice and information. When the communal feeling may be unclear, administrators may help provide a thoughtful voice in some kinds of consensus.

Abilities

 * Delete pages, page histories, files etc.
 * Rename files.
 * Lock (protect) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
 * Block an IP address or user name from editing.
 * Revert bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
 * Edit the MediaWiki namespace to make changes to the interface.

Duties
As part of adminship, admins are regularly expected to:


 * Delete pages that the they or community have decided are unwanted, including
 * Pages that are obvious spam/vandalism
 * Pages marked with a  tag if appropriate
 * Pages that have been decided are unneeded.
 * Protect pages that meet the criteria on Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki:Protection Policy
 * Block users that meet the criteria on Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki:Blocking Policy

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are the highest tier of users, with the additional ability of being able to change user rights. In all other respects, bureaucrats are simply administrators.

Becoming a Bureaucrat
Bureaucratship can only be granted by another bureaucrat.

Being a Bureaucrat
Every policy that applies to admins also applies to bureaucrats, as bureaucrats are simply a subset of admins, with only a few additional abilities and responsibilities.

Additional Abilities
In addition to being an administrator, bureaucrats also have:
 * The ability to grant and revoke rollback rights.
 * The ability to grant and revoke administrator status.
 * The ability to grant, but not revoke bureaucrat status.

Additional Duties
Bureaucrats oversee and supervise all requests for user rights, and carry out the decision in the case of requests for adminship.

Bureaucrats also must at their discretion accept or decline user requests for rollback. This is done according to their judgement.
