'''Administrator | '''Administrator school''' teaches test wiki [[Test Wiki:administrators|administrators]] how to use their tools, including: managing user groups, (un)deleting pages, protecting, and blocking. 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. | ||
== | ==User groups management== | ||
Administrators can manage a few user groups, including [[Test Wiki:Chat moderators|chat moderator]], [[Test wiki:Patrollers|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 [[User:Example|example account]] or on an alternate account of yours. | Administrators can manage a few user groups, including [[Test Wiki:Chat moderators|chat moderator]], [[Test wiki:Patrollers|patroller]], and a few others.

==Revision deletion | ===Revision deletion=== | ||
The revision deletion feature (“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 revdel, the revision is hidden to all regular users, but admins, [[Test Wiki:Bureaucrats|crats]], and [[Test Wiki:Stewards|Stewards]] can stil see them. | The revision deletion feature (“revdel”) allows you to hide certain revisions of a page.

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. | 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.

==Block | ==Block & unblock== | ||
The block button allows you to stop users from editing in certain ways. It must not be used on a good user without their permission. You can use it for vandals or spammers, as well as edit warrers. You can block your own accounts here for testing. Many users create a test account for this. There are many options when blocking. Firstly, you can stop a user from editing specific pages. 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 talk page. | The block button allows you to stop users from editing in certain ways.
