This is the administration list on the Alternate History Wiki, which lists the bureaucrats, administrators, forum administrators, chat moderators, and rollbackers on this wiki. The users on this list are trusted members of this community who are given additional tools and access on this site.

If you are having any issues on this site and you would like to bring this to the administration’s attention, then please leave them in the talk page or on the admin’s user talk page, or you can e-mail a complaint to an admin. You can also let us know at the admin's notice board on the Wiki forum.

Reports and other requests requiring administrative actions should be posted on the administration talk page or direct message one of its members in their user talk pages.

If there are no active administrators present on this wiki, or if the administration becomes dysfunctional, you can instead contact a Miraheze Steward on their noticeboard for any problems. Miraheze Stewards have the same rights and power over this wiki (and all other wikis on Miraheze) as bureaucrats and they also have the right to ban, delete, promote/demote and perform other administrative actions. Miraheze staff and volunteers are not included on this list but you can check them out on Miraheze Meta.

This administration list is updated manually. If a user has been granted a user right, please place their names in the proper category. Likewise if they have been demoted or if their user rights have been removed, remove them from the list.

For a list of all active users on this wiki, which is updated automatically, see Special:ActiveUsers.

Bureaucrats

See list of bureaucrats.

A bureaucrat is a user who can promote other users to any of these user rights groups, as well as demote users from most user rights groups. They can also manage and change the wiki's additional core settings, such as adding or removing MediaWiki extensions, features, namespaces, user rights, etc. Bureaucrats cannot be demoted by another bureaucrat; only Miraheze stewards can demote local bureaucrats. Bureaucrats are also administrators. Bureaucrat rights are granted by other bureaucrats.

The duties of a bureaucrat are:

  • To set the rules, policies and guidelines of the wiki
  • To approve nominations for users into the administration, and to grant or remove user rights according to that user's previous actions, performance, reputation and skill as well as the needs of the wiki and its community
  • To manage wiki-wide settings, extensions, and other features based on the needs of the wiki and its community
  • To direct the entire administration in its operation and responsibilities
  • To manage relations between this wiki's administration and Miraheze staff
