Sysop

Sysops or system operators are users trusted to be responsible enough to have access to the following tools: The sysop flag is not a status symbol. Sysops are simply other members of the community with some extra tools on the wiki.
 * They have all privileges from the Rollback, Forum Operator and Chat Moderator groups and also have the ability to:
 * Delete pages, page histories, files etc.
 * Rename files.
 * Lock (protect) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
 * Block an IP address or user name from editing.
 * Revert bad edits more easily using a "rollback" link.
 * Edit the MediaWiki namespace to make changes to the interface.

Sysops have the ability to grant and revoke rollback, chat moderator, and forum moderator rights.

How do you become a sysop?

 * Every founder of a wiki is automatically granted sysop access on the wiki they founded.
 * Other users may also be granted this access, by the founder, or by Bureaucrats.
 * A list of sysops can be found at: Special:Listusers/sysop.
 * Do not ask to become a sysop. The flag is given out on the basis of need to either effectively manage the wiki, or if there are special semantic functions that you carry out on the wiki.
