'''Administrators''', commonly known as ''admins'' or ''sysops'' (system operators), are [[Xenharmonic Wiki]] editors who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain special actions on the Xenharmonic Wiki. These include the ability to block and unblock user accounts, IP addresses, and IP ranges from editing, edit fully protected pages, protect and unprotect pages from editing, delete and undelete pages, rename pages without restriction, and use certain other tools.

Administrators assume these responsibilities as volunteers after undergoing a community review process or being elected by their fellow editors. They are never required to use their tools, and must never use them to gain an advantage in a dispute in which they were involved. Administrators should not be confused with system administrators ([[User:Tyler Henthorn|sysadmins]]).
