Project:Administrators

Administrators (also known as sysops, or admins) on the MediaWiki site are users with the technical capability to protect and delete pages, and block users, as is much the same on many other MediaWiki-run projects, particularly those run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Others work with the Meta-MediaWiki transfer and import of pages between Meta and MediaWiki following the creation of this site and the slight shift of Meta's purpose from documenting the software.

By and large, a user can become an admin following a simple request to one of the site bureaucrats, and there are no set "prerequisites", as such, to becoming one.

A list of current admins is available here, and bureaucrats here.
