==Patrollers== | |||
Patrollers act as an intermediate step between the average user and Administrator. While they can carry out some editing and protective functions, they cannot utilize the more permanent features like blocking users or editing protected pages. | |||
===Abilities of a Patroller=== | |||
*Delete/undelete pages: They have the ability to delete unnecessary or spammy pages. Pages are usually not deleted unless they have no relevance. | |||
*Mark other edits as patrolled. This ensures that all edits to pages are constructive and useful for improving the site's content. | |||
*Patrollers may use Rollback to quickly undo edits by users, particularly in the case of spam or malicious editing. | |||
==Administrators== | ==Administrators== | ||
'''Administrators''' are highly trusted editors of Wars Wiki. They are the ones considered to be on the staff of the wiki, and as such, are only the most valuable editors. | '''Administrators''' are highly trusted editors of Wars Wiki.

*Patrol edits: Wikis have a system of checking edits known as patrolling. Administrators have the ability (and responsibility) to patrol all edits to make sure that they are of passing quality. Administrators also have their own edits automatically marked as patrolled. | *Patrol edits: Wikis have a system of checking edits known as patrolling.

==Bureaucrats== | ==Bureaucrats== | ||
Bureaucrats have all of the same abilities as administrators except that they can also rename users. Bureaucrats are the ones in charge of running the wiki, and usually have full access to all back-end functions of it. | Bureaucrats have all of the same abilities as administrators except that they can also rename users.

== | ==Bots== | ||
Bots are automated systems to perform large-scale edits and changes. These accounts are usually hidden in the Recent Changes updates. Bots are not usually real people, and therefore contact should not be made to the bot account but rather the bot owner's. | |||
