In der Administrator-Schule lernen die Test-Wiki Administratoren, wie sie ihre Werkzeuge verwenden können, einschließlich: Verwalten von Benutzergruppen, Löschen/Wiederherstellen von Seiten, Schützen und Sperren. There are many more tools, you may wish to visit Special:ListGroupRights and look under the “administrators” section to see all the user rights sysops have.

Benutzergruppenverwaltung

Administrators can manage a few user groups, including chat moderator, patroller, and a few others. If you are a sysop, you can do this by going to a user's userpage and clicking “change user groups” on the left-hand side. You can set how long you want the user to have the right, or you can choose to have it never expire. You can test this on the example account or on an alternate account of yours.

Deletion & undeletion

These buttons allow you to delete or undelete a page, removing it from public view. You can test this on the deletion test page.

Revision deletion

The revision deletion feature, also known as revdel, allows you to hide certain revisions of a page. You can either delete the edit summary, the edit itself, or the person who performed the edit. If you use revision deletion, the revision is hidden to all regular users, however, anyone else with sysop rights can also see it.

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. Then, you will be taken into a menu, where you can choose how to hide the revision. If you're just testing the feature, make sure to put “test” in the edit summary to avoid confusion. You should then un-hide the revision, unless you have a reason other than testing purposes to hide it. However, if that is the case, you should use an appropriate edit summary.

Protection & unprotection

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.

Block & unblock

The block button allows you to stop users from editing in certain ways. You can block your own accounts here for testing, or the example account. There are many options when blocking. Firstly, you can stop a user from editing specific pages or namespaces (User pages, talk pages, etc.). This is useful for someone who is edit warring on a page. Otherwise, you can do a sitewide block. This stops the user from editing all pages except their user talk page.

There are three options under here:

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

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. There is also an "autoblock" function underneath. This blocks the last IP used by the user and any other IPs the user uses while logged into the account after. Usually is left ticked.

Next steps

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