Moderators are simply users who have been given extra tools to help in the upkeep of the wiki. They are not "friends of the owners" (although they might be) and their opinion does not take precedent over another user's. However, the abilities they have would be meaningless if given to everyone, so use this page to ask a moderator to do one of the following things:
+
{{ModRequest}}
  
* '''Deletion''' - complete removal of a page or image,
+
==Requests==
* '''Undeletion''' - the restoration of a deleted page. (Images ''can not'' be restored),
+
* '''Protection''' - the protection of a page to prevent editing by either non-users or non-sysops,
+
* '''Banning''' - removing an IP or user's ability to edit the wiki,
+
* '''Unbanning''' - restoring a banned IP or user's ability to edit the wiki (you can request yourself),
+
* '''Editing protected pages''' - editing a moderator-protected page,
+
* '''Demotion''' - the demotion of a sysop.

  • Restoring a deleted page,
  • Protecting a page to prevent editing by certain groups,
  • Banning an IP or user's ability to edit the wiki,
  • Unbanning a banned IP or user's ability to edit the wiki,

This page can also be used for reporting any vandalism you spot - please provide a link to the page and we'll do the rest!
