[edit] Types of Administrators
[edit] Bureaucrat
Bureaucrats are admins (members of the "bureaucrat" wiki user group) who have all the powers of a wiki administrator, but can also create new admins, and alter the group memberships of users.
- Ciovala is the current systems administrator.
Bureaucrats can be reached by talk page or the forums.
[edit] Wiki administrator
Admin (member of the "Sysop" wiki user group) who responds to issues in the wiki, like making special changes (page locking, blocking users, restoring deleted pages, large-scale rollbacks, importing pages, etc.). If you have a problem you should contact one of these users.

- bctrainers | ask for help here - Wiki maintenance and anti-vandalism.
Administrators can be reached by their talk page above or the forums.
[edit] Other Types of Users
In addition to Admins there are other types of users, these can be considered 'power users' in that they understand the way the wiki works and it's functionality. While they do not have the power of a sysop, they have just as much understanding and can assist you if needs be.
[edit] Helper
A helper is the same as a Patroller the main difference is they are willing to assist new and existing users alike with editing the wiki. If you are stuck on doing something or you notice an error, you can contact a helper the exact same way you can contact an Administrator above. Again, they are only limited by the fact they do not have the ability to delete or protect/unprotect pages, they are however a recognised contributed to the wiki.
To be a helper, much the same as a patroller, you will need to show an understanding of the wiki software and have provided a sufficient amount of constructive edits to the wiki.
[edit] Patroller
A Patroller is similar to a helper in that they are knowledgeable in the Wiki and don't mind helping out where possible, in addition they have the ability to patrol an edit, that is to verify the edit is legitimate and not a biased edit or spam edit trying to slip in under the radar. They are also quite proficient with the wiki at the same time.
