Ratchet & Clank Wiki:Administrators

Administrator
Administrators, commonly abbreviated to admins and also called sysops, are editors to whom the community gives access to technical features that help with maintenance. The Ratchet & Clank wiki practice is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active and regular the Ratchet & Clank wiki contributor for at least a few months, is familiar with and respects the Ratchet & Clank wiki's policies, and who has gained the trust of the community, assuming there is a need for further administrators. They can protect and delete pages, block other editors, and undo these actions as well. At default, these privileges are granted indefinitely and are only removed on request or under the circumstances involving high-level intervention (see Administrator abuse below). Administrators are editors who undertake additional responsibilities on a voluntary basis.

All administrators receive rollback powers automatically as part of the administrative rights.

Bureaucrat
Bureaucrats are the third tier of the common user groups on the Ratchet & Clank wiki. It is bureaucrats who grant user rights to duly elected administrators. As decided in an IRC meeting, bureaucrats have the authority to veto a decision, stopping it from being passed, regardless of consensus and other factors. This ability should ideally never be used but is in place to ensure policy is not abused or manipulated and to safeguard the wiki from causing damage to itself. The veto cannot be used to pass new policies; only to block new changes from occurring. Abuse of this ability will be taken extremely seriously and can result in loss of user rights. Other than those differences, the role of a bureaucrat is very similar to the role of the administrator.

Rollbacker
Rollback is the ability to quickly revert a users' edits on a page. It should only be used where absolutely necessary, such as in cases of vandalism. Only certain users have rollback rights; they can be requested on the requests for user rights page. Rollback users are also not affected by rate limits when completing actions such as moving pages.

Administrators and bureaucrats have rollback rights at default.

List of rollbackers
None.

Patroller
Patrollers are users who have the rights to mark revisions as "patrolled." Administrators and bureaucrats usually only check unmarked revisions, and patrollers make that job easier.

The revisions of administrators, bureaucrats, and patrollers are automatically marked as "patrolled."
