The Audiovisual Identity Database is led by a team of administrators, whose job is to maintain the wiki's activity and ensure protection from unwanted edits.

Here is a list of administrators on AVID:

Scope

Administrators should use their powers to combat vandalism/spam, and keep the wiki running in an orderly manner. Administrators have access to many additional functions which include:

• Manage pages and files on the wiki, such as deleting and protecting
• Change visibility of undesirable revisions of pages
• Respond to user reports by warning or reminding users
• Block users from editing pages; admins also have the option to "roll back" a number of edits from that user on a certain page
• Modify system messages via Special:AllMessages
• Close Requests for Comment prematurely given criteria listed in the landing page is met

Appointment and revocation

Eligibility

While there is no codified eligibility requirements, bureaucrats have guidelines set at AVID:Requests for Permissions on who is generally determined as eligible for Permissions.

Election

To request to become an administrator, please go to AVID:Requests for Permissions.

Once a vote is open, it must remain open for a minimum of 1 month and achieve a 70% support ratio in order for it to be called as successful.

Revocation

By precedent and convention, administrators may have their rights revoked by a simple majority vote which takes place in the Requests for Revocation section of the Requests for Permissions page.

Bureaucrats are users with advanced permissions beyond that of a typical administrator. They have the ability to add or revoke administrative tools and access to wiki configuration options via Special:ManageWiki.

Bureaucrats for this wiki are listed below.

Scope

The role of bureaucrats are as follows:

• Determine consensus on RFCs and forum posts pertaining to wiki decisions.
• Decide and carry out the outcome of requests at AVID:Requests for Permissions and AVID:Requests for Rollback.
• Remove the admin rights of any user determined by the community to be unfit to have such tools.

Appointment and revocation

Election

Users can request bureaucrat rights at AVID:Requests for Permissions subject to the edit requirements denoted there. Requests for bureaucrat rights will remain open for 7 days and those applying must have an 80% support ratio.

Revocation

Bureaucrat rights can be revoked if a Request for Revocation is opened and more than 50% of the vote is in favor of removal. They will also be removed if the user's administrative powers are removed at any time either by community vote or voluntary resignation.
