Administrators have extra abilities, so that they can maintain and control the Wiki better, and prevent abuse.
A few of these extra abilities are:
- Ability to Protect or Un-protect a page : Protected pages cannot be edited, usually pages that experience a lot of abuse, or pages that don't need editing are protected. Un-protecting the page will allow anyone to edit the page again.
- Ability to ban/unban users : This allows Administrators to ban certain users from the Wiki, removing their rights to Edit pages. This is usually done with users that abuse pages, whether it be by spamming the page with links, editing it with unrelated information, deleting content, or otherwise edit the page in a negative way.
- Ability to delete pages/files : Though every user can edit and move pages, only Wiki Administrators can delete pages. Usually only double pages, or pages that are made by abusers and that have no place in the Wiki are deleted.
