What administrators do
edit- 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.
