 * Check Wikipedia:Administrator for more detailed mechanism of an Administrator.

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.

Administrator abilities
These additional functions include:
 * Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
 * Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
 * Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
 * Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
 * Protecting pages by setting limiting users to edit pages.

For guiding, see Help:Administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

Who are this wiki's administrators?
The "founder" of a wiki, the person who first requested it, is given administrator access automatically. Founders are also given bureaucrat access so they can make any other user on their wiki an administrator or bureaucrat. For a complete list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.

You may also wish to list them on this page.

These are the active admins of the wiki(those with a strike-through mark indicate that they are inactive):

Request for adminship
Administrators should not use their administrator powers to their advantage editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers 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. 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 Wikia community.

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. Make your request at "Don't Starve game Wiki:Requests for adminship". You should meet all the requirements listed on the guidelines before applying for admin.
