Happy Tree Friends Wiki:Administrators

This page lists users who have special privileges on the Happy Tree Friends Wiki and therefore, who to ask for help.

Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat is an administrator with the additional responsibilities of granting (and revoking) rollback permissions and promoting users to the role of an Administrator or Bureaucrat. However, once a user has been promoted as a Bureaucrat, he or she cannot revoke their Bureaucrat right. It can only be done by Wikia staff members or by the user themselves.

Semi-Active Bureaucrat
The following bureaucrat retains his bureaucrat status but may not be active in comparison to other bureaucrats/admins.

Administrators
Administrators, sometimes called system operators or just admin, are members of the community charged with smoothly maintaining the operations of the wiki. They can protect pages, ban/unban users and IPs, delete pages and images from the system and editing the interface by changing system messages and skins. Administrators are given a few extra rights, but this does not mean they are better then others or that they have more say in decisions. They are just normal users with a few extra rights who help other users on the wiki.

When you have a problem or a question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.

Becoming an Administrator
Administrators are selected on a needed basis only. There are no official criteria to become an administrator. However, there are a few basic guidelines. When an administrator is needed, a few users will be recommended and will be voted on by the community. To be appointed, the user must:


 * Have an account on the Happy Tree Friends Wiki for some time.
 * Be an active contributor.
 * Know how a wiki works.
 * Know a decent level of English.
 * Have an overall experience with the Happy Tree Friends series.
