'''Administrator school''' teaches test wiki [[$1|administrators]] how to use their tools, including: managing user groups, (un)deleting pages, protecting, and blocking.‎

Edit

There are many more tools, you may wish to visit $1 and look under the "administrators" section to see all the user rights sysops have.‎

Edit

== User groups management ==‎

Edit

Administrators can manage a few user groups, including [[$1|chat moderator]], [[$2|patroller]], and a few others.‎

Edit

If you are a sysop, you can do this by going to a user's userpage and clicking on "Change user groups" on the left if you are using the Vector 2010 skin. For the Vector 2022 skin, the buttons are located on the right-hand side.‎

Edit

You can set how long you want the user to have the right, or you can choose to have it never expire.‎

Edit

You can test this on the [[$1|example account]] or on an alternate account of yours.‎

Edit

== Deletion & undeletion ==‎

Edit

These buttons allow you to delete a page, which will then hide it from public view, or undelete to unhide it.‎

Edit

You can test this on the [[$1|deletion test]] page.‎

Edit

=== Revision deletion ===‎

Edit

The [[$1|revision deletion]] feature, also known as revdel, allows you to hide certain revisions of a page.‎

Edit

You can either delete the edit summary, the edit itself, or the person who performed the edit.‎

Edit

If you use revision deletion, the revision is hidden to all regular users, however, anyone else with sysop rights can also see it.‎

Edit

To delete a revision, click the check mark next to it, then click the "change visibility of selected revisions" button, which is right above the page history.‎

Edit

Then, you will be taken into a menu, where you can choose how to hide the revision.‎

Edit

If you're just testing the feature, make sure to put $1 in the edit summary to avoid confusion.‎

Edit

You should then un-hide the revision, unless you have a reason other than testing purposes to hide it.‎

Edit

However, if that is the case, you should use an appropriate edit summary.‎

Edit

== Protection & unprotection ==‎

Edit

Protecting and unprotecting pages is not complicated. All you have to do is click the "Protect" button (or "Change protection" if the page is already protected), select the protection level, select the duration, add a comment explaining why you are (un)protecting the page (e.g. test), and click the confirm button.‎

Edit

== Block & unblock ==‎

Edit

The block button allows you to stop users from editing in certain ways.‎

Edit

You can block your own accounts here for testing, or the [[$1|example account]].‎

Edit

There are many options when blocking. Firstly, you can stop a user from editing specific pages or namespaces (User pages, talk pages, etc.).‎

Edit

This is useful for someone performing an edit war on a page. Otherwise, you can do a sitewide block.‎

Edit

This stops the user from editing all pages except their user talk page.‎

Edit

There are three options under here:‎

Edit

Account creation: This stops a user from creating another account.‎

Edit

Sending email: This stops a user from using the "email this user" fuction. It is useful if the user has been abusing this fuction, but should otherwise be left unticked.‎

Edit

Editing their own talk page: This stops a user from editing their own page. Is useful if the user is vandalising their talk page. Usually it is left unticked until needed.‎

Edit

You can specify a time underneath. The "indefinite" choice means the user will not be unblocked until an admin does so; it will not expire on its own.‎

Edit

There is also an "autoblock" function underneath.‎

Edit

This blocks the last IP used by the user and any other IPs the user uses while logged into the account after.‎

Edit

Usually is left ticked.‎

Edit

== Next steps ==‎

Edit

If you've made it this far, great job. You're on your way to becoming a great future administrator.‎

Edit

If you have any questions or would like personal training, reach out to $1, the creator of this school.‎

Edit

You can also complete a quiz on this content to receive your official TestWiki Administrator Certification Badge!‎
