When I first started working on Wikia I made massive changes (edits, deletes, renames), but before, during, and after I made clear what I wanted to do, what I was doing, and what was done. The community wasn't very big so I didn't wait too long on the before phase as it was clear the wiki wasn't in a great shape. Large changes on the wiki occur and aren't automatically vandalism as long as they have a clear goal of benefiting the community and the wiki. Good faith and acting boldly are wiki principles that need to also be considered.

Admins don't get to do whatever they like. They have rules and standards they must follow on the wiki and/or Wikia. If a mass delete has occurred outside of a situation similar to what I stated above, these deletions should be reverted unless it appears as if the Admin might be improving the wiki (some pattern of editing that's discriminatory to a stated and/or potential implied goal). If there is uncertainty, a discussion should always take place first. If there is no rhythm for the actions, they should be reverted, a discussion should follow, and they should lose their privileges if warranted.
