==What is an Admin?==
Administrators are members of the community who have been leaders on the site with regards to quality and quantity of edits. The role of administrators is not one of authority, but rather so that a small group of members can oversee the project as a whole, and maintain site-wide consistency in terms of formatting and style.
An Admin is...
* here to oversee the project to prevent vandalism, abuse or straying from the goals and guidelines determined by the community.
* enthusiastic about the project and wants to see it succeed. That means he doesn't want you to get frustrated or worn out and leave.
* here to help you. Generally Admins have advanced expertise or experience with this or other wiki projects. They are valuable teachers and mentors for all editors, including each other.
An Admin is not...
* a better writer than you. Just because you may not be an Admin doesn't mean your contributions are less helpful or of lower quality.
* above the law. Admins must adhere to official Master Lists Wiki policy just like everyone else.
* always right. Admins are people with opinions just like everyone else and occasionally they can be as incorrect as the rest of us.
Admins have more privileges than most members, but with this extra access comes increased responsibility to the community. It is important to remember that Admins are here to serve you and to make PathfinderWiki the best that it can be.
