Administrators are Wikiquotians who have "sysop rights". Current English Wikiquote policy is to grant this access liberally to anyone who has been an active Wikiquote contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. "This should be no big deal," as Jimbo has said. "Sysop" and "administrator" are really misnomers, as they are just Wikiquote users who have had performance and security-based restrictions on a couple of features lifted because they seemed like trustworthy folks and asked nicely. Sysops are not imbued with any special authority, and are equal to everybody else in terms of editorial responsibility. What's the deal? The Wiki software has few restricted features, but they are quite important. Sysops can: Edit the Main Page which is protected to prevent vandalism. Anyone can suggest changes to it at Main Page. Edit other protected pages. They can also protect and unprotect pages. For information and guidelines, or to challenge a decision to protect, see Wikiquote:Protected page. Delete pages and their history. For information and guidelines, see Wikiquote:Deletion policy. To suggest a page to delete (after reading the policy), see Wikiquote:Votes for deletion. Sometimes deletion is a technical matter, in which a redirection page has to be removed to make way for renaming an article, or a page whose history has been broken up has to be deleted and the pieces recombined. Other times it's a matter of cleaning up simple junk edits on pages with no actual content, or removing material that has been pasted in from another site and infringes copyright. Undelete pages and their history. After having been deleted, pages remain in the archive table, a sysop can undelete the whole pages or parts of their revisions. To challenge a decision to delete a page, see Wikiquote:Deletion review. Block IP addresses. See Wikiquote:Blocking policy for guidelines and Special:Ipblocklist for currently blocked addresses. If your IP has been blocked, then you can see which administrator blocked you when you try to edit, and you can contact them individually if you think that there's been a simple mistake. Otherwise, to challenge a decision to block an IP address, use this page's talk page, or the mailing list (wikiquote-en-adminsTemplate:Wq/si/@lists.wikimedia.org) if it's your IP that has been blocked. This is meant solely to discourage persistent junk edits. IP banning is not meant to be used against unpopular opinions. Because dynamic IPs and proxies are so common with major internet providers, if you've been banned for things someone else did, don't take it personally, just notify the list. Revert pages rapidly & quietly. Though every user can revert a Wikiquote page, a quicker way is available for administrators. Once they click [rollback] botton on an user contribution page or diff page, it is reverted with a message automatically generated. For recovering vandalism, administrators can revert pages in quiet, adding a bot flag to their reversions. Adding &bot=1 to the url of a user contribution page, and reversion from this page doesn't appear in Recent changes. Administrators should never use this quiet mode to hide reversion for their own personal purposes. Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in", can still do many things, including the most important: editing articles. But only signed-up users can rename pages; see Special:CreateAccount to sign up for yourself. Becoming an administrator If you would like sysop access, add your name to Wikiquote:Requests for adminship. Current English Wikiquote policy is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active Wikiquote contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. Most users seem to agree that the more administrators there are the better. It's recommended that you write for Wikiquote for a while before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognise you before they can agree on your promotion. Also keep in mind that each other language Wikiquote has its own policies for administrators, which may differ somewhat. Be careful, please! If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. Removal of administrative rights See WQ:Village pump archive 25#Vote of confidence If three or more users support the need for a community discussion, a vote of confidence may be opened at Wikiquote:Requests for adminship for removal of administrator access or other advanced permissions. These discussions follow generally the same format as a request for granting advanced rights; however, any vote of confidence with greater than 50% support is considered passing. Bureaucrats and stewards See also: Bureaucracy There are other privileges around adminship directly: to promote users to admins or deprive adminship from them. A Bureaucrat is a sysop holding the additional privileges as following: to promote other users to admins or bureaucrats. to set and remove bot flags from automated bot accounts. See Makebot Bureaucrats cannot remove user rights, except for the bot flag. Removal of other flags must be done by stewards. Stewards have the power to do this globally (across all Wikimedia projects), however, they are bound to follow the consensus of each project's community. All requests to stewards in relation to flags should be listed on m:Steward requests/Permissions. Stewards, in addition to global renamers, also handle requests to change usernames. CheckUser and oversight There are some additional privileges that are not directly related to adminship. CheckUser is a user holding the privilege to access information about the combination of user accounts, the IP addresses behind them, and the edits made by IPs under various accounts. For privacy reasons this information is not publicly available. Checkusers are bound by two global policies, Privacy policy and m:CheckUser policy. Checkuser actions are recorded on the Wikiquote checkuser log, and only users with CheckUser access can check the log. Due to the seriousness and sensitivity of the task of handling private information of users, CheckUser status has some additional restrictions. A given project must have at least two users granted CheckUser access, so that they can check the other's behaviors. Also the users granted CheckUser access must inform the Wikimedia Foundation of their identity and age, in accordance with the Access to nonpublic data policy. Also they should be over 18 years of age (or over the age of majority in the jurisdiction they reside if it is higher than 18). There is also an access called "oversight". See m:Hiding revisions for further information. Oversight status is under similar restriction as CheckUser access. Currently no one holds oversight on this wiki; for emergencies, a steward must be contacted. Bureaucrats cannot give or remove checkuser or oversight status from users. It must be done by stewards after a request on m:Requests for permissions. Developers The other degree of access is developer, for those who can make direct changes to the Wikiquote software and database. To contact developers, see either wikitech-l for a mailing list or #wikimedia-tech for an IRC channel. Import The import function allows editors to upload specially formatted text into Wikiquote, or to transwiki such material after it is exported from another Wikimedia project. Only a Meta steward can add or drop any user's importing right. After requests are approved here, they will be reported to m:Requests for permissions. List of administrators If you need to contact an administrator, visit one or several of the userpages below. Active administrators can be also contacted by using the "email this user" link on their user page, if you have signed in with an email address of your own. ("Active" means they have made at least one significant edit on this project in the past few months.) A system-generated official list of admins is available at Special:ListAdmins. Template:Wq/si/List of admins List of bureaucrats The following users have bureaucrat rights. A system-generated official list of bureaucrats is available at Special:Listusers/bureaucrat List of checkusers and oversighters English Wikiquote does not currently have local checkusers or oversighters. A system-generated official list is available at Special:ListUsers/checkuser and Special:ListUsers/suppress. Former administrators The following users are former sysops.
