Tower of God Wiki:Wiki Users

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, certain users can access a few additional functions.

Bureaucrats (Floor Guardians)
Bureaucrats, known on the Tower of God Wiki as Floor Guardians, control user rights and can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on the wiki. They are a step above an admin.

Bureaucrats can also give (and revoke) users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith as well as promote users into moderators and/or chat moderators.

All bureaucrats on the Tower of God Wiki have admin, content moderator, thread moderator and chat moderator rights and usually have the final say on things. Bureaucrats have the "FLOOR GUARDIAN" tag on their user pages.

Administrators (Rulers)
Administrators, known on the Tower of God Wiki as Rulers, are users who have additional functions and abilities on the wiki including:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories and uploaded files.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

Admins have the "RULER" tag appear on their user pages.

How do I use administrator powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Becoming an administrator
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat rights must make you one. You can request here, you may simply ask on the Community Portal, ask on the Forums or you can ask a bureaucrat directly on their talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

What can administrators not do?
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version they prefer 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. }}

Administrative Assistants
These sets of users are those who hold specific extra abilities on the wiki, although not to the level of admins.
