+==Frequently Asked Questions==
+===What are Administrators?===
+Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, '''administrators''' are trusted users that have access a few additional functions.
 *Deleting and undeleting pages, uploaded images and page histories.

 *Mark page revisions or users' edits as "patrolled".
-These functions are solely for housekeeping ensuring that Destinypedia is nice and tidy. The community ''does'' look to administrators to perform the essential chores that require the extra access administrators are entrusted with. However, otherwise, administrators are the same as other users, and are expected to be well-tempered in all respects.

-== Can I become an Administrator? ==
-Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Destinypedia grows, more administrators may be needed to assist in its operation. Administrator positions can be filled via [[Destinypedia:Requests for Adminship|Requests for Adminship]].
-== What can Administrators not do? ==
-Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith.  Administrators should not be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is a regular user who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of Destinypedia.

+Currently, administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. As Destinypedia grows, more administrators will be needed to assist in its operation. Once Destinypedia reaches significant size and activity, new administrators will then be selected via a Request for Adminship.

+===What are Bureaucrats?===

+{{Main|Destinypedia:Bureaucrats}}
-*[[User:Hawki|Hawki]] - Resigned July 2015.
+A bureaucrat is simply an administrator that is granted a few extra tools, such as assigning or revoking [[Special:ListGroupRights|user rights]] and [[Destinypedia:Changing username|renaming]] user accounts. Typically, bureaucrats are the most senior admins, but this is not always the case.
