[[sv:Wikipedia:Administrat%F6rer]] Administrators are Wikipedians who have sysop rights. Current Wikipedia policy is to grant this access liberally to anyone who has been an active Wikipedia contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. "This should be no big deal," as Jimbo recently said.
What's the big deal?
The Wiki software has a few restricted features. These include:
- Sysops can edit the Main Page. For information and guidelines, see Wikipedia:Selected Articles on the Main Page
- Sysops can edit other protected pages. They can also protect and unprotect pages. For information and guidelines, see wikipedia:protected page
- Sysops can permanently delete pages and their history. For information and guidelines, see our policy on permanent deletion of pages
- Sysops can permanently delete images, and this is a non-reversible change: once deleted, always deleted. See our image use policy
- sysops can perform direct Database queries
- sysops can ban IP addresses (see Special:Ipblocklist for currently blocked addresses and Wikipedia:IP probation watchlist for recently unblocked addresses)
Users with ordinary access, including first-time visitors who haven't "signed in", can still do most things like editing pages. Only signed-up users can upload files or rename pages, though.
Becoming an administrator
If you would like sysop access, send an e-mail to the English Wikipedia mailing list (WikiEN-L) giving your Wikipedia login name and requesting access.
Be careful, please
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history and the ability to block IP addresses.
The other degree of access is "developer", for those who can make direct changes to the Wikipedia software and database. Check out Wikitech-L and Wikipedia:Developers.
Administrators are marked with "(sysop)" in the list of user accounts. If you need to contact an administrator, visit one or several of the userpages below. Administrators who have not listed their email addresses can still be contacted by using the "email this user" link on the page.
