✅

This page reflects established consensus. It should only be edited after reaching a new consensus on the talk page.

While VassarWiki adopts a collective governance model, certain technical actions require their access be limited to a smaller group of contributors called administrators. These actions include suspending users, deleting and restoring pages, and approving prospective contributors lacking a vassar.edu email. Administrators remain bound to community consensus and are not given any precedence in disputes.

Anyone can apply to be an administrator. While there are no official requirements, candidates should have a track record of constructive editing. Applications to be an administrator are approved following community discussion. Administrators who abuse their authority should be reported.
