At Teampedia (ATWTEAM), there are two types of Administrators:

Administrators can [[Help:Page protection|protect]] and unprotect pages. '''On other wikis''', protections are usually done to prevent vandalism or disruptive editing to certain pages. It is also done to protect widely used pages that have high-risk. '''On Admin Tools WikiTeampedia''', while page protection may occur for the very same reasons, it is usually done as tests. This can be done to any page as long as it ''doesn’t'' have [[:Category:Pages not to be tested on]] on it. Should a [[#Testing Administrators|Testing Administrator]] alter the protection settings of any other page, s/he '''must''' return the protection settings to their previous state immediately thereafter.

Administrators have the ability to [[Help:Blocking|block]] and unblock users from editing for a period of time, which is determined by the blocking Administrator. (See [[Admin Tools WikiTeampedia:Blocking policy]] (shortcut → [[ATW:BLOCK]]).) '''On other wikis''', blocks are usually done to prevent users from vandalizing or disruptive editing. '''On Admin Tools WikiTeampedia''', blocks may also be performed for testing purposes. Should a [[#Testing Administrators|Testing Administrator]] perform a test block, and that block is not set to expire soon thereafter, s/he '''must''' unblock that user immediately.

[[Admin Tools WikiTeampedia:Bureaucrats|Bureaucrats]] have the ability to grant Administrator privileges to users. Users can become an Administrator by requesting it at [[Admin Tools WikiTeampedia:Requests for rights]] (shortcut → [[ATW:RFR]]) where the Admin Tools Wiki community will review your request. An active Bureaucrat will make the final determination whether or not to grant the requestor the sysop bit.
