<h2 align="center">Bureaucrats</h2>
'''Bureaucrats''', also known as head-administrators, are distinguished administrators recognized with additional powers and authority. They are usually responsible for the design of the site, from style and layout to individual page function and site structure organization. They are often content editors and contributors as well, and are generally the people to go to if you have questions regarding the origins and policies of the site.

Disputes between users and administrators may be moderated by a bureaucrat. They frequent the [[Special:Forum|Forums]] and [https://discord.gg/8NTuDEy Discord server] to provide help and assistance wherever possible. They are elected through nomination by other administrators to existing bureaucrat(s) as the need arises.

<h2 align="center">Administrators</h2>
'''Administrators''', sometimes referred to as Admins or Staff, are distinguished members of the community recognized with additional powers and authority. They are mostly regular content editors and contributors, although some specialize in other areas, such as programming. Generally, these are the people to go to if you have questions around the site (as a veteran or a newcomer), want to discuss policy or templating, or need a dispute settled. Many of them frequent the [[Special:Forum|Forums]] and [https://discord.gg/ySxysVZ Discord server] for further discussion.

== Administrator abilities ==
These additional functions include:
* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
* Locking ([[Marvel Database:Page Protection|protecting]]) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without sysop rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing. 
* Very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
