AVID:Site Staff/Administrators

The Audiovisual Identity Database is led by a team of administrators, whose job is to maintain the wiki's activity and ensure protection from unwanted edits.

Here is a list of administrators on AVID:

Scope

Administrators should use their powers to combat vandalism/spam, and keep the wiki running in an orderly manner. Administrators have access to many additional functions which include:

• Manage pages and files on the wiki, such as deleting and protecting
• Approve good edits and promote good-faith users into the Writer role
• Change visibility of undesirable revisions of pages
• Respond to user reports by warning or reminding users
• Block users from editing pages; admins also have the option to "roll back" a number of edits from that user on a certain page
• Modify system messages via Special:AllMessages
• Close Requests for Comment prematurely given criteria listed in the landing page is met

Appointment and revocation

Eligibility

While there is no codified eligibility requirements, bureaucrats have guidelines set at AVID:Requests for Permissions on who is generally determined as eligible for Permissions.

Election

To request to become an administrator, please go to AVID:Requests for Permissions.

Once a vote is open, it must remain open for a minimum of 1 month and achieve a 70% support ratio in order for it to be called as successful.

Revocation

By precedent and convention, administrators may have their rights revoked by a simple majority vote which takes place in the Requests for Revocation section of the Requests for Permissions page.
