ALL POSTSPermission error while trying to undelete a page
<p>Some idiot on the Wigglepedia got promoted and vandalized the Big Red Car video article and I'm trying to fix it by deleting the page and restoring every revision but their destructive edits by sockpuppets and I blocked him/her for unprotecting the page and reverting it back to those bad edits that were reverted by RRabbit42 who I teamed up with and reported the bureaucrat to the staff. Accordingly, they need to get their butts in the wiki and help by de-admining Bluescluesimacow and restoring the page. Have any of you admins been experiencing this error trying to restore a page?, If so, then they are gonna have to hear about this somewhat intermittent bug and fix it so that the next time we do so, it will restore the page:

- Unfortunately, since the user in question is both a bureaucrat and a sysop, (s)he can unblock herself/himself. As for demoting the user, it is possible the founder might be able to do that. I don't know for sure. If not, then only staff can. They probably won't unless there is a documented community discussion indicating general consensus that the user should be demoted.
- With regards to the permissions error, that is unusual as you are a sysop. How did you try to undelete the page? Are you sure the title is 100% correct?
- Once the page is undeleted, you might be able to do a rollback rather than having to reinsert all the content.

<p>For this incident, the bureaucrat in question is a sockpuppet of those previously banned users and was being disruptive to that community by vandalizing it which he/she was abusing their rights. On the other hand, the title which tells me that the system won't let me undelete a page is caused by a MediaWiki bug which needs to be fixed when I tried to restore all revisions but the one's done by his socks. </p>

<p>It sounds like you have actually figured out what the issue is. In that case, you should report it using Special:Contact/bug. Otherwise, Fandom is not likely to find out about it.

<p>This one's a known issue that needs to be ironed out. In this case, I'm gonna leave those up to the staff to look into it and try to fix it and strip the disruptive user's admin privileges.

<p>Whoever came up with the concept that the Founder of a wiki is above other bureaucrats was so wrong. They are not. They have no extra rights than any other bureaucrat.
</p><p>Otherwise, yeah, you should contact Staff about that.
