Rewrote, updated and cleaned up. The admin list may not be correct, as the user rights logs and group lists sometimes differ. I trusted the user lists.

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
.
+
'''
Administrators
'''
(also called '''sysops''') are users with certain privileges that normal users and [[Project:Contributors|contributors]] do not have for security reasons. Users are given administrator status after being nominated and voted for by staff in
a
closed vote
.

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
.

A list
of
administrators with
their
various other groups can be found below. Note that this list is updated manually, for
an
automatically generated list, see [[Special:ListUsers/sysop]]

== Becoming an administrator ==
−
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger wikis, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "[[Project:Requests for adminship]]". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the [[Project:Community Portal|Community Portal]] or [[Forum:Index|Forum]], or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

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 [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Assume good faith|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 community.
