Project:Administrators

Administrators (also known as sysops or admins) on Mediawiki.org are users with the technical capability to protect and delete pages, block users, and edit protected pages, among other things, 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. The same applies with requests to be granted bureaucrat status.

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