Minecraft Players Wiki:Operators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, operators can access a few additional functions, like on a Minecraft server.

Operator abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * 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 operators on their own wiki.

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

Staff
Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff.

Who are this wiki's operators?

 * Sharple - Founder (aka Mega2098)
 * Batorhos - Operator (aka tbohus)
 * Sir Atronach - Operator (aka dcomando15)

How do I use operator powers?
See Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Becoming an operator
For you to become an operator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "   :Requests for adminship". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or Forum, or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for adminship" page to nominate users to become operators or bureaucrats. 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 Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

What can operators not do?
Operators should not use their operator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Operator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
