Administrators (also known as sysops) are users with the technical ability, within a particular Wikimedia wiki, to delete and undelete pages, and view deleted revisions of pages; block and unblock users, individual IP addresses, and ranges of IP addresses; protect and unprotect pages; and edit the interface (the MediaWiki namespace).
The role and expectations of administrators, as well as the policies surrounding their behavior, vary widely among the different projects. While administrators have more technical abilities, this should not be confused with authority, which is earned seperately and given by the community. Some wiki sites may not even have adopted written policies for administrators or candidates for adminship. This is usually due to limited users and activities.
Information about administrators on this wiki may be found at Meta:Administrators. Information about the designation "Administrator" within the MediaWiki software, for users of MediaWiki projects which are not part of the Wikimedia Foundation, may be found at Help:Administration.
