RetroTechCollection:Administrators

From RetroTechCollection

Administrators (also called sysops) are users with extra rights on RetroTechCollection: they can delete and restore pages, block users, protect pages and edit the site interface. Moderators review the edits that are held for moderation.

What administrators do

[edit source]
  • review edits held for moderation: edits by users who are not logged in, and by accounts that have not yet been approved as trusted editors
  • approve accounts as trusted editors (the automoderated group), so that their edits appear without review
  • delete and restore pages and files under the Deletion policy
  • warn and block users under the Blocking policy
  • protect pages
  • handle removal requests from copyright holders under RetroTechCollection:Copyright violations
  • grant user rights (bureaucrats only)

How administrators must behave is set out in section 7.4 of the Terms of Use.
