'''Administrators''' are Pikmin Wiki users who have '''sysop''' rights.

For a listing of all current sysops, see [[Special:Listusers/sysop]].
 
Sysops are not imbued with any special authority, and are equal to everyone else in terms of editorial responsibility. Some consider the terms "Sysop" and "Administrator" to be misnomers, as they just indicate users who have had performance- and security-based restrictions on several features lifted because they seemed like trustworthy folks. Sysops should not have power over other users other than applying decisions made by all users.
 
The community ''does'' look to sysops to perform essential housekeeping chores that require the extra access sysops are entrusted with. Among them are keeping an eye on new and changed articles to swiftly delete vandalism, and meeting user requests for help that require sysop access. Since sysops are experienced members of the community, users seeking help will often turn to a sysop for advice and information.
 
== What's different ==
 
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted.  Of those restricted features, sysops have access to the following:
 
* [[Special:Log/protect|Protect]] and unprotect pages.
* Directly edit .
* [[Special:Log/delete|Delete]] pages and their history.
* View and restore deleted pages and their history.
* Permanently delete images. This is a non-reversible change: once deleted, always deleted.
* Revert pages quickly. Note that ''any'' user can revert a page to an earlier version, sysops simply have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.
* [[Special:Log/block|Block]] IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts for a specific time or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.
