The Audiovisual Identity Database:Site Staff/Administrators

The Audiovisual Identity Database is led by a team of administrators, whose job is to maintain the wiki's activity and ensure protection from unwanted edits.

Here is a list of administrators on AVID:

Scope

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:

• Manage pages and files on the wiki, such as deleting and protecting
• Change visibility of undesirable revisions of pages
• Respond to user reports by warning or reminding users
• 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 Requests for Comment prematurely

Appointment and revocation

Eligibility

While there is no codified eligibility requirements, bureaucrats have guidelines set at AVID:Requests for Permissions on who is generally determined as eligible for Permissions.

Election

To request to become an administrator, please go to AVID:Requests for Permissions.

Once a vote is open, it must remain open for a minimum of 1 month and achieve a 70% support ratio in order for it to be called as successful.

Revocation

By precedent and convention, administrators may have their rights revoked by a simple majority vote which takes place in the Requests for Revocation section of the Requests for Permissions page.
