Help:Admin Dashboard

What Is It?
The Admin Dashboard is a feature on all wikis. It can be found in the universal toolbar under "Admin". It was developed to create a contained, centralized space that highlights the most important tools and give admins a better understanding of how best to build their wiki. Special:SpecialPages was built into it, and most special pages are now in it as well.

Access
The admin dashboard can be found in a new link called "admin" in the universal Toolbar -- this takes admins/founders to the Admin Dashboard.
 * The "Admin" link only exists if you are on a wiki that you admin.
 * Exit link takes you to main page of your wiki.
 * The wordmark takes you to the main page of your wiki
 * The help link takes you to Founder & Admin Central.

How It Works

 * Basic admin tools live on the "general" tab, under 3 sections:
 * Wiki: Theme Designer, Recent Changes, Top Navigation, Wikia Labs, Main Page Layout.
 * Community: User List, User Rights, Community Corner.
 * Content: All Categories, Add a Page, Add a Photo, Add a Blog Post, Multiple Photo Upload.
 * The above tools on the "general" tab will no longer live in Special:SpecialPages, as not to be redundant.
 * The rest of Special:SpecialPages lives on the "advanced" tab.
 * If you go to a wiki that you are not an admin of you will see Special:SpecialPages in its old format.
 * Admin specific tools on Special:SpecialPages will no longer be bold.
 * Once a tool is opened in the "advanced" tab there is a drawer (see small arrow at middle of the page) on the right hand side to expand the page to open up the page.
 * Once opened the drawer will stay open on every special page until you close it/session ends.
 * There are specific Special:SpecialPages that will not open within the admin dashboard skin.
