<p><b>New page</b></p><div>A wiki is an environment where every user has an equal amount of power and responsibility. However, there are one or two functions of the wiki system that are reserved.<br />
<br />
From our [[Legacy:Project FAQ|Project FAQ]]:<br />
<br />
;What do admins do? : As little as possible. The only things admins can do that you can't are:<br />
;* '''Rename pages''' &ndash; anyone can port content to a new page and put a redirect on the old one, but this function renames all the links throughout the site too.<br />
;* '''Delete pages''' &ndash; same again: anyone can blank a page. See the [[:Category:Legacy Delete Me]] tag.<br />
;* '''Ban IPs''' &ndash; fairly pointless, as it's easy for someone intent on causing damage to change their IP, but sometimes it helps to inhibit ongoing spamming.<br />
;* '''Lock (and unlock) individual pages''' &ndash; we hardly ever do this. Pages that are Epic tutorials just have a warning saying don't change the text, and that's worked fine so far, plus it lets people correct typos and make links. The other page that's locked is the [[Legacy:Home Page|Home Page]]. Admins should look out for edits to [[Legacy:Home Page/Changes|Home Page/Changes]] and then update the Home Page.<br />
;* '''Lock (and unlock) the entire site''' &ndash; see [[Legacy:Wiki Protection|Wiki Protection]].<br />
<br />
These functions are accessed through an extra line of links in the page footer.<br />
<br />
Other than that, there is no real status involved in being an admin. It's more like being someone who has to clean up a mess from time to time. "Wiki Janitor" might be a better term ;)<br />
<br />
When it comes to dealing with problem users or conflict, a wiki is totally unlike a forum. Any member of the community may step in and demand better behaviour, not just admins.<br />
<br />
The secret of being a good wiki admin is to do as little as possible with your admin powers. Let the community revert damage rather than ban IPs, ask for suggestions when a page needs a new name, and so on.<br />
<br />
Overall, the more members of the community are involved in reverting damage, refactoring discussion, creating links, following up [[Legacy:WikiTag|WikiTag]]s and generally keeping the place tidy &ndash; the healthier the wiki.<br />
<br />
Current admins for this wiki are:<br />
* [[Legacy:EntropicLqd|EntropicLqd]]<br />
* [[Legacy:Graphik|Graphik]]<br />
* [[Legacy:Mychaeel|Mychaeel]]<br />
* [[Legacy:Tarquin|tarquin]]<br />
* [[Legacy:Wormbo|Wormbo]]</div>82.108.71.164https://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Wiki_Admin?diff=9573&oldid=prevWay-cache1-1.cache.telstra.net: *2007-06-19T09:21:09Z<p>*</p>
