Global sysops

Global sysops on Orain are like global administrators. They have access to delete pages, block problematic users, etc. - however; Global sysops will not act on a local wiki without a request from the local community.

Abilities
Global Sysops have the ability to:


 * Block a user
 * Unblock a user
 * Delete a page
 * Undelete a page
 * RevDel
 * ... and more

Requests
If your local wiki does not have an active administrator, you may post a request for intervention at SN for review. If the matter is urgent, and may need steward attention, please post your request on the Stewards' noticeboard.

Note:
Just because a user has the global sysop flag doesn't mean s/he should make local sysop actions (i.e. deleting a page or blocking a user). The global sysop flag is given to users to combat global vandalism and assist in local communities where a local sysop may not exist (or does exist but isn't around to take care of the issue(s)). Global sysops will not block a user for minor vandalism unless it is a global issue, or unless a request comes from the local community without an active sysop.

Our goal for our global users it to remain as invisible as possible. Local communities should have discretion as to what happens within the boundaries of their wikis. Should you feel that an action is absolutely necessary - use your discretion and apply that action. Leave a note on that communities Admin Noticeboard, Community Portal, or other appropriate page. If you feel that perhaps that action will cause controversy, the Stewards kindly ask that you notify us on the Stewards' noticeboard.
