Administrators have | Administrators have several abilities that regular users do not have, the most major ones are blocking, deleting, protecting, and hiding revisions. Blocking is the act of removing a user's power to edit pages and banning them from doing anything for a set amount of time as punishment for breaking the rules. Administrators can also unblock users if the block was unfair. Deleting is taking away an article from the wiki because it was not satisfactory or because it was made as a vandalism article, restoration is another administrator ability and brings back deleted articles. | ||
Protection | Protection allows an administrator to change the protection level of a page - everybody, logged-in users only or administrators only. An administrator would protect an article if the article is not for the general public to edit or if it is a target of much vandalism. Finally, hiding a revision is the acting of removing a particular revision from the page history, preventing the general public from viewing it. This ability is normally used for hiding a revision containing unwanted personal information, or something potentially dangerous such as one containing an external link to malware. | ||
Administrators also have the ability to undo multiple revisions by the same user using the Rollback link, granted that the particular revision is the most recent. | |||
