Staff

Different users on the Young Dylan Wiki **have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, some users can access a few additional functions.**

## Who are this wiki's administrators?

These are all of the **admins** of the Young Dylan Wiki! Admins run the wiki and take care off everything that needs to be taken care of! You can send these admins a message on their talk page if you have any questions about the wiki or are interested in becoming an admin yourself! Also, if you have any problems such as harassment by other users, problems editing, or things like that, just contact one of the admins! They are here to help!

## Bureaucrats

There is currently three Bureaucrats on the wiki. As Bureaucrats, they are patrollers of the wiki, and have the same functions an admins, but they have the ability to manipulate user rights.

* Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

## Bureaucrat abilities

A **bureaucrat** can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.

Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits not made in good faith.

Bureaucrats on the Danger Force Wiki are counted as "head admins".

A **Content Moderator**
These functions include:

* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
* Re-uploading files.
* Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Deleting article comments.

## Becoming an administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one, which includes FANDOM Staff.

Bureaucrats usually look for trusted users that possess the dedication, drive, time, and abilities to successfully contribute and maintain a wikia. These users must have hundreds if not thousands of contributions, but quality matters more than quantity. They must establish themselves as long-standing members who can respectfully engage with users and admins.

Most of the time, rights are earned, not simply asked for and especially not demanded. Bureacrats will determine when and who to upgrade to adminship.

If there are no active bureaucrats or administrators, create a Discussions page to determine a community consensus. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and FANDOM Staff can provide the rights (if the eligibility requirements are met).
