Changes

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 [[Teampedia: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.

[[Teampedia: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.
