Help talk:Administrators' how-to guide

Wouldn't it be possible to translate this article? There are so many people, who aren't that well in understanding English. Especially me: I undertand German best, but am also able to undertand English and French. But with that many special words, isn't it really easy to understand. So I wish that this page gets translated in future!

And: I can offer a page, where you can help to build up an english version of this page: Leciel

 * Bezüglich deutschsprachigen Übersetzungen brauchst du dich nur an mich oder Avatar wenden. Und, ich werde die Seite gleich mal auf meine ToDo-Liste schreiben. Gruß Tomsen (talk) 08:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Danke vielmals! Mta 08:32, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree to whatever you guys are saying, but shouldn't something about making somebody else and admin be included? 09:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Good point - I've added a brief note to a link at the end, but Help:User access levels is what you need. Kirkburn (talk) 14:21, 9 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I know, but it took me quite some time to find out how to do it. Zheliel  11:13, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Becoming an administrator
How do you become an Administrator does the founder of the particular wikia have to make you one? --Gruntijackal 20:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Either the founder has to grant the rights (through votes, discussion, or otherwise), if the founder is inactive please see Wikia adoptions. — Charitwo (talk) 20:47, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes but how does the founder grant rights? There's no obvious link I can find that will allow me to make another user an admin of my wikia. Broier 16:59, March 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you're a founder, or a bureaucrat, you can access Special:UserRights by searching it up from the sidebar. You can also access it by using the "Special pages" link on the sidebar toolbox. Down the list of special pages should be a link in bold labelled "User rights management". The 888th Avatar   (talk)  09:21, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Link to tar manual
The link to tar manual in section "How do I block a troublemaker?" is 404. Another possible link would be http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/Date-input-formats.html --a_morris (talk) 03:50, 13 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Fixed. Kirkburn (talk) 15:09, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Question
Hi, I'm the admin of the new wiki about LEGO.com games. I would like to know how to make other people admins. I would also like to know how to make a better page design. Thanks! Signed, Secretam.
 * Try Special:UserRights on the wiki to change user rights of a user. Page design: skin help at Help:Customizing Monaco and design help at Help:Beyond the basics and Help:Features_FAQ. Good luck! Joey (talk) 07:48, July 9, 2010 (UTC)

A query
Is it the done thing to remove an admin's admin rights when the said admin is inactive? -- Dragonfree  OVER 4,000 EDITS 20:50, July 16, 2010 (UTC)
