Administrators, also called admins or sysops, are members of the Appropedia community who have access to technical features that help with maintenance. Administrators are expected to respect and be familiar with Appropedia policy.

Admins can protect and delete pages, block other editors, and undo these actions as well.[1] Administrators are generally editors with specific areas of expertise, who have been contributing for a substantial time and have shown themselves to be responsible, familiar with the wiki software and site policies. Adminship is a voluntary position and is not paid.

For the most up to date list, see sysop list.

Requirements

  • In basic agreement with Appropedia's mission.
  • Familiar with Appropedia policies and guidelines and consistently works within them.
  • Respects science and the scientific method, but also understands that people following the scientific method can have genuine disagreement.
  • Shows humility and respect, and is on good terms with the Appropedia community at large.

The exact details are being worked out at Appropedia:Administrators/Requirements, which is a proposed policy.
