## Bureaucrats

**Bureaucrats**, known on the Against the Gods Wiki as **Primordial Rulers**, control user rights and can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on the wiki. They are a step above an admin.

Bureaucrats can grant or revoke rollback rights for users, as well as promote users into moderators and/or chat moderators. Also, Bureaucrats can turn other users into admins or bureaucrats.

All bureaucrats on the Against the Gods Wiki have admin, content moderator, thread moderator and chat moderator rights and usually, have the final say on things. Bureaucrats have the "Primordial Rulers" tag on their user pages.

## Administrators

**Administrators**, known on the Against the Gods Wiki as **Realm Kings**. Administrators have the "Realm King" tag appear on their user pages. They are users who have additional functions and abilities on the wiki including:

* Delete pages, page histories, files etc
* Rename files (these are mainly images and videos).
* Lock (protect) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
* Block an IP address or user name from editing.
* Revert bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
* Edit the MediaWiki namespace to make changes to the interface.

## Becoming an administrator

For a user to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat rights must grant the user administrator rights. Currently, the wiki is in no need for new administrators.

## Administrative Assistants

These sets of users are those who hold specific extra abilities on the wiki, although not to the level of admins.

### Chat Moderators

They are able to block users from chat, which will kick a user out of the chat and ban them from returning until a chat moderator or an admin removes "Banned from chat" at Special:UserRights.

Since the wikia uses Discord Servers as chat, Chat Moderators will be given user rights in the wiki and the discord server.
