Board Thread:Support Requests - Designing Your Wikia/@comment-4295751-20140212220725/@comment-366087-20140213132229

I said you were the only *active* admin. And that doing that is simply short-term.

By default Wikia hides the Bureaucrat tag. You'd have to make it visible with jscript, and UserTags will do that. As well as allow you to make new groups/tags, so you could make an additional Writer group to assign anyone to without them having to be part of administration.

So your choices are to play with doing the code yourself, finding someone willing to tailor it for you to copy, or making someone a temporary admin to do it for you.

I know the code seems confusing and daunting, but *I*, an HS dropout, managed to follow it and more than install it, *fix* a messed up version of it in one of my wikis. I recommend you copy in the snippet of code they say is the "basic setup", and then walk through the various options one by one, adding in the additional code segments. It is a slow process because you need to allow each new saved revision of Common.js to filter back from the servers. Usually about 20 minutes in my experience, but that can change depending on where you are and time-of-day.

Just take note of the current working version, either by noting the timestamp or by a minor edit (a comment line will do) and placing "Working version" in the summary (my preference), so you can always revert to how it is now.
