Responsibilities of the administrators

Administrators are primarily responsible for monitoring edits to the wiki and answering questions from other users. Administrators, for some examples:

  • make sure that articles are not spammed or abusively edited
  • fix broken links
  • categorize and re-categorize articles as necessary
  • monitor any POV or other disputes that may arise

Becoming an administrator

The primary way to obtain administrator status on PoliceWiki is to get involved with editing and making positive contributions to the site, following policy guidelines, and developing or showing at least a basic understanding of wiki markup language. One of the current administrators should take note and may approach you about becoming an administrator -- or you can contact them as well expressing your interest.
