Halo Fanon:Administrators

The Administrators are the community leaders of Halo Fanon who maintain order and aide users on a day-to-day business. Currently, there's an active staff of four people consisting of two Bureaucrats and two Administrators. The symbol seen on the right is used to identify a staff member, and is placed at the top right of his or her userpage.

Background

What are Administrators?

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.

• Deleting and restoring pages and page histories. Administrators can also delete uploaded files, but cannot restore them.
• Locking (protecting) a page so it can not be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
• Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
• Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki. They are also able to remove administrator access from any user to which it was granted. Please contact one of the community staff in the unlikely event that you need this done and cannot reach a bureaucrat.

Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please see the Central Wikia contact page for details on how to contact Wikia staff.

How do I use administrator powers?

See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

• Special:Blockip - block a username or IP address
• Special:Deletedcontributions - access a deleted page's history
• Special:Userrights - modify user rights (e.g. rollback, sysop privileges)

What can administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. While an admin wasn't originally considered "in charge" of the wiki, however as our has wiki grown, the need for community-oriented administrators who take the initiative in leading the site and overseeing its content is standard procedure. The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community with their personal issues and beliefs kept out of their professional duties.

Current Biographies

Bureaucrats
Ajax 013	Ajax 013 is one of the most veteran users on Halo Fanon, and its currently longest serving administrator. He enjoys NCFing articles, elaborate revenge schemes and dominating the minds of lesser men. Fear him. On the 7th of November, 2013, after a dark ritual involving the sacrifice of hundreds of virgins (Which is most of Halo Fanon's user base), he ascended to the position of Bureaucrat. Now all that is left for him is the last two steps on his plan to world domination, the first being to build a giant slingshot, the second is using said slingshot to fire Sona into the sun.
Ahalosniper	Arriving in mid-2009, ASniper remained largely ignorant of the site at large for a number of years, working on his own machinations in the background before joining the IRC and first connecting with other members of the community in 2012. In that time, however, he observed and learned through imitation the skills necessary to craft a quality article, and connected with newer users through talk pages rather than chats, taking the time to think out his responses. He looks forward to collaboration between users, and continually wishes for more interaction to be carried out on-site rather than in the site's Discord.
Administrators
Distant Tide	Distant Tide entered Halo Fanon in 2017 knowing more than most newcomers after being an on-and-off viewer of content produced by the very same admins and site veterans he finds himself among today. A well-established fanfiction writer before Halo Fanon, Tide quickly joined the site's regular ranks through quality articles and frequent interaction on the site's new Discord server at the time. Tide never slowed down, building collaborative partnerships with all types of writers. While often distracted by new ideas left-and-right, his eyes remain zeroed on propelling the community to new heights.
