Administrators are local accounts with permissions granted on this independent wiki. See the current administrator list and the current group-permission list for the actual accounts and capabilities.

Using administrative tools

Depending on the configured permissions, administrative tools can include deletion and restoration, page protection, blocking and rollback. The live group-permission list is authoritative for capabilities; a user-page badge or template does not grant them.

Use tools to address disruption and maintain the wiki, not to win an editing dispute. Explain consequential actions and seek an uninvolved administrator's input where there is a conflict. Follow Project:Protection policy, Project:Deletion policy and Project:User Conduct Rules.

Requests and access

Contact an active local administrator through their user talk page for help, linking the affected page and evidence. Permission requests belong at Project:Requests for permissions. Administrator and bureaucrat memberships are local permissions; neither imported founder status nor an external hosting provider confers them here. This wiki has no Fandom staff escalation or adoption process.

Appointments and elections

See Project:Administrator elections for nominations, community discussion and recording a decision, and Project:Requests for permissions for other local access requests.

Local role boundaries

See Project:User groups for appointments and technical boundaries. Routine administrators do not receive migration/import controls, other users' two-factor recovery or CheckUser access automatically. Bureaucrats manage specified local appointments; sensitive technical and privacy appointments remain with the site operator.

Administrator noticeboard

Use Project:Administrators' noticeboard for assistance, incident reports, appeals and independent review of administrative actions. Project:Community governance lists the specialist request queues.
