Wikivoyage:Moderator

Administrators zijn Wikireizigers met een aantal extra verantwoordelijkheden. ... Administrators have shown a good appreciation of the Wikitravel policies and guidelines and made significant contributions of Wikitravel articles.

Er zijn twee belangrijke functies alleen beschikbaar voor administrators:

• Pagina's beschermen. Een administrator kan pagina's beschermen; deze pagina's kunnen vervolgens alleen worden gewijzigd door administrators. See the Protected page policy for details.
• Permanent wissen. Alleen administrators kunnen een artikel permanent wissen; see the Deletion policy for details.

The decision to give these privileges to certain users is pragmatic. Most vandalism and other changes that don't conform to policy can be reverted or changed by more committed Wikitravellers. Protection and deletion cannot; therefore, these privileges are only granted to certain users.

Note that plenty of longtime Wikitravellers may not want the responsibility of being an administrator. Administrators are the plumbers and janitors of Wikitravel, and have to do a lot of pointless busywork.

It's also important to remember that any user can edit, change, redirect, move, or otherwise muck with almost any article on Wikitravel. It's not really necessary to wait for an administrator to do some "administrative" work; in fact, it's best to just plunge forward and do the job yourself.

Administrator worden

Als je denkt dat een Wikireiziger een administrator moet worden, en dat kan ook jezelf zijn, dien je hun naam te posten op Aanmelding administrators met een kleine uitleg over waarom die persoon administrator moet worden. Na zeven dagen overleg, zullen de andere admins hem de status van administrator geven.

Ending Administrator privileges

Unused high-privilege user accounts are a security risk. For this reason, administrators who don't use their user accounts for 3 months will be notified by email and their privileges will be revoked. Administrators who know they don't have the time or interest to continue as admins should request to have their privileges revoked voluntarily.

Administrators who abuse their privileges will have those privileges revoked.

After losing admin privileges for any reason, a Wikitraveller must go through the nomination process again to regain those privileges.

Current Administrators

You can see the list of current admins on Special:listadmins.
