Banning Guideline for Admins

List of all currrent Admins
(every admin can add a short description here)

LOTRMod
The account of Mevans, the creater of the LOTR mod and the only coder working on it. He created the wiki but is usually too busy with creating the mod to check the wiki.

Thorin11
Also known as Yorick, a moderator. He was the first admin (beside Mevans) but is inactive now.

Gen. Grievous1138
Evil Jedi-hunter and inventor of Grond, the ban-hammer. Tends to ban users far longer than neccessary, so don't annoy him...

Sinthoniel
Also known as Pallando, the Blue Wizard. He knows the "magic" of coding and redstone. Pacifist.

Areades
Good with wiki code and templates. He created the nice design of the main page.

Beijing1000
Our newest admin (Huray!) and the user with the most edits on the wiki (again Huray!). To even increase this list of accomplishments, she is the only admin of this wiki being known to be female!

The Power of the Gods
Admins can do things that normal contributors can't. That's why they are admins, you know? Here is a list of things that only admins can do:


 * Renaming pages


 * Deleting pages


 * Banning users (also see: Banning Guideline for Admins)


 * Protecting pages


 * Editing protected pages


 * De-/Activating wiki features (such as badges)


 * Editing or deleting any comment, blog, forum thread, or user page


 * Changing the design (CSS and wiki theme) and menu structure of the wiki

The Responsibility of an Admin
Being an admin is not just a privilege but also a responsibility. The main task for admins is to make sure that the wiki runs as intended. The main tasks of admins are:


 * Deleting and renaming pages on request


 * Moderating the chat by warning or banning misbehaving users (also see: Banning Guideline for Admins)


 * Deleting wrong or unhelpful information on pages and eventually ban the responsible user


 * Help users with editing pages
