What is a sysop?
Sysop stands for "system operator". Sysops may do a number of things which users with the default privileges cannot, including:
- Delete pages, and restore deleted pages
- Revert edits, wiping them from the page history
- Make dumps of sets of wiki pages, and import dumps from outside the wiki
- Access a number of special pages which are restricted, giving information about the wiki users
- Protect and unprotect pages, preventing users from editing them by default
- Blocking or unblocking users or IP addresses from editing the wiki
In addition the special category of user called bureaucrats can grant extra rights to users and make them into sysops (and revoke sysop permissions if they are abused).
All other wiki gardening activities can be done by a user with normal default privileges, including editing pages, marking them for deletion or merging, organising the wiki with categories, or renaming pages to respect the wiki naming conventions and contribution guidelines.
Becoming a sysop
The process for becoming a sysop is very simple:
- After participating in wiki gardening activities for a while, you may be invited to become a sysop by the existing team
- You may send an email to meego-community, or privately to an existing bureaucrat, asking to become a sysop, explaining why you feel you need the extra permissions. The team will discuss your request and let you know quickly whether the extra permissions will be given.
