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 Special:Listusers/Sysop.
