Star Wars Merchandise Wiki:Administrators

Administrators, or sysops, are users who can edit any page or do certain tasks that a normal user cannot do, such as banning vandals. They also leave messages for users, telling them about their mistakes or correcting them. Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Star Wars Merchandise Wiki expands, more administrators may be needed to assist in its operation. There are no official criteria to become an administrator, however there are a few basic guidelines. When an administrator is needed, one will be selected from the rest of the users who:


 * Has had an account on Star Wars Merchandise Wiki for some time
 * Is an active contributor
 * Has no history of vandalism or abuse of Star Wars Merchandise Wiki

Again, Administrators are only selected when one is needed. When this occurs, the current Admins will let the rest of the users know. Until then, it is safe to assume that Star Wars Merchandise Wiki is operating smoothly as it is.
