Administrators are editors who have been granted the ability to perform specific actions by a bureaucrat.

Abilities

Administrators have the technical ability to perform the following actions:

  • Block and unblock user accounts and IP addresses from editing
  • Apply, modify, and remove page protection on a particular page to restrict or allow editing, moving, or creation
  • Delete pages with 5,000 or fewer revisions
  • Grant and revoke certain user permissions requested by user accounts
  • View and restore deleted pages
  • Restrict and restore public visibility of information in individual logs and page revisions
  • Edit fully protected pages
  • Edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace, excluding JavaScript and CSS pages[1]
  • Override the title blacklist
  • Move a page to any desired title
  • Perform other special actions as listed at Special:ListGroupRights#sysop
