Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, '''administrators''' can access a few additional functions.
The Audiovisual Identity Database is led by a team of administrators, whose job is to maintain the wiki's activity.


Administrators for this wiki are listed below.
Here is a list of administrators on AVID:

Administrators may do the following:
Administrators should use their powers to combat vandalism/spam, and keep the wiki running in an orderly manner. Administrators have access to many additional functions which include:
* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
* Manage pages and files on the wiki, such as deleting and protecting
* Locking ([[{{ns:project}}:Protected page|protecting]]) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Change visibility of undesirable revisions of pages
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Respond to [[AVID:User Reports|user reports]] by warning or reminding users
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
* Block users from editing pages; admins also have the option to "roll back" a number of edits from that user on a certain page
* Modify system messages via [[Special:AllMessages]]
* Close [[AVID:Requests for Comment|Requests for Comment]] prematurely

== Who are this wiki's administrators? ==
This wiki's administrators are listed above.
== How do I use administrator powers? ==
See [[Help:Administrators' how-to guide]] for a guide on using admin functions.
== What can administrators not do? ==
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version they prefer in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith good faith]. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the community.
