VassarWiki:Administrators: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:24, 15 April 2026

VassarWiki adopts a collective governance model, where decisions are made through deliberation and consensus-building. The weight of each contributor's voice should be evaluated by the strength of their argument.

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 (given how new the wiki is, feel free to immediately apply if you're interested!). Applications to be an administrator are approved following community discussion. Administrators who abuse their authority should be reported.

	VassarWiki adopts a collective governance model, which means it has no single owner or leader. However, certain technical actions require their access be limited to a smaller group of contributors. '''Administrators''' are contributors who have been granted the ability to perform these actions on VassarWiki, including suspending users for policy violations, deleting and restoring pages, and approving prospective contributors who lack a vassar.edu email. Administrators are ''not'' given any precedence in content disputes (unless the dispute involves a legal issue).		{{#lsth:VassarWiki:About\|Governance}}
