Hi all,

What is the difference between a bureaucrat and an admin? Also is there a difference between a promoted admin and the wiki founder? Thanks AshleyWilliams 22:09, July 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Bureaucrats can make themselves admins, and promote and demote other admins. Furthermore, only Wikia staff can remove bureaucrat rights (and that only very rarely happens). A founder is the person who created the wiki -- they automatically have bureaucrat and admin rights by default. Those are the basic differences between them.


 * Admin's are limited to only certain thing's like


 * Protecting/Un-protecting pages
 * Blocking users/Un-block
 * Delete Page's/Un-delete
 * Grant Rollback, chat modetrator righs/revoke them
 * Edit Locked pages and pages unavailable to edit by under powerd users like MediaWiki/Community Corner's

Bureaucrat's can
 * Protecting/Un-protecting pages
 * Blocking users/Un-block
 * Delete Page's/Un-delete
 * Grant Rollback, chat modetrator righs/revoke them
 * Edit Locked pages and pages unavailable to edit by under powerd users like MediaWiki/Community Corner's
 * Give/Remove admin right's/Bureaucrat right's
