Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.
Overview
Positions and what they can do | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Administrator abilities | ||||
| ||||
Bureaucrat abilities | ||||
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. However, they are not currently able to remove admin access from any user; please contact one of the community team if you need that done. Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith. | ||||
Staff and Janitors | ||||
Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Wikia janitors have limited administrator access to all Wikia for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on Special:Listusers/janitor on any Wikia. Please see Help:Contacting Wikia for details on how to contact Wikia staff. | ||||
What they can't do | ||||
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community. |

Other administrators
We are currently in the process of merging with two other wikis, therefore there is a good chance you will be seeing newly added material that are the hard works of their respective admins:
- Giulliven from Inkheart Trilogy Wiki (inkheart3logy.wikia.com) [Created on 23:23, February 16, 2010]
- FeathertailxCrowfeather 4ever from Inkworld Wiki (inkworld.wikia.com) [Created on 16:29, November 23, 2008]
However, as they both haven't been active for quite a long period, we are only listing them to homage their former contributions; if they were to become active once more, and participate on THIS WIKI, they can contact the current fully active administrators to change their user group.

Description
Status | Description |

These administrators log on frequently to edit and/or browse the wiki. They are the best users to contact. | |
These administrators don't log on all the time, though are still relatively frequent. | |
For whatever reason, these administrators haven't logged onto the wiki for an extended period of time. |
Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests; although we are technically a large wiki, we do have a "Inkheart Wiki:Requests for adminship" page, should you wish to become one, please post a reply there. On a smaller wiki, such as ourselves, you may simply try asking on a bureaucrat directly via his or her talk page first, but a formal request listing out your strength would be fairly helpful and appreciated.
If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator or adopt the wiki, please contact the community staff. If there are other active editors but no active bureaucrats/admins, you should first discuss with them on who should become an admin, whether it be one of you, or all of you.
