Admin Dashboard General Tab
The Admin Dashboard is your go-to place for the main tools you'll need to run your wiki. It puts the most important special pages at your fingertips.
Accessing the dashboard
The Admin Dashboard is available on all wikis you currently administrate.
IF you're an admin, one easy way to find the Admin Dashboard by clicking on the icon in red.
It can be found by clicking on Admin in the Toolbar at the bottom of your screen, by visiting Special:AdminDashboard, or by clicking on the dashboard icon located on the right side of the wiki's page tally. Non-admin who try to access the admin dashboard will get a permissions error, instead.
How it works
Important admin tools that are often used live on the General tab. The following links point to the help pages for each function.
- Wiki
- Theme Designer — quickly and easily give your wiki a theme
- Recent Changes — track the latest community activity
- Top Navigation — update your navigation bar
- Wiki Features — turn special features on and off
- CSS — allows advanced theme customization
- Community
- User List — see a list of users in your community
- User Rights — give (and remove) special rights from members of your community
- Community Corner
- Help — get straight to FANDOM's help pages
- Content
- All Categories – see a list of all the categories on your wiki
- Add a Page, Add a Photo, Add a Blog Post – quickly add content to your wiki
- Multiple Photo Upload – need to upload a lot of photos at once? Use this!
The Advanced tab is home to the rest of the special pages, normally found on Special:SpecialPages. (If you visit a community that you are not an admin of you will see Special:SpecialPages in a more basic format.)
Quick Stats
Quick Stats lives on the right side of the Admin Dashboard. Here you can monitor your community's recent statistics. It shows page views, edits, and photo uploads for the past seven days.
