Every wiki in Fandom is overseen by their own administrations, and that includes the You Wiki. The administration consists of four types of users, sorted in descending order from left to right:
- Bureaucrats
- Administrators
- Content moderators
- Rollbacks
Bureaucrats
- Bureaucrats have access to privileges from the administrator, discussions moderator, content moderator, and rollback groups.
- Only bureaucrats have the ability to manipulate user rights, as well as block and unblock users, so this right is generally used in addition to the administrator group.
- They have the ability to promote and revoke rollback, content moderator, and administrator rights as well as appointing new bureaucrats.
Administrators
- Administrators (also known as "admins" or "sysops (short for system-operators)") are trusted users who are generally chosen by the community and also have access to the following rights:
- All privileges from the discussions moderator and content moderator groups.
- Block users who are vandalizing the wiki from editing and other actions.
- Grant and revoke both the Chat Moderator and Discussion Moderator rights.
- Edit the community's skin and format.
- Edit white-listed MediaWiki pages.
Content moderators
- Content moderators are users who have additional tools available to moderate specific parts of the community. These tools are:
- Deleting and moving protected pages
- Deleting and moving files
- Undeleting pages and files
- Rollback
- Re-upload files
- Protecting and unprotecting pages
Rollbacks
- Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. The "rollback" permission allows a user to undo bad edits with one click: by using the rollback link on diff pages, the user's contributions page, or the list of recent changes. The edit summary for a rollback edit is (Reverted edits by X (talk) to last version by Y).
- Content moderators and admins have this permission by default. It can also be granted to other users by adding them to the rollback group.
