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:

  • Deletion - complete removal of a page or image,
  • 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.

Also, if you make a mistake while editing the wiki and "something weird happens", please confess here and we'll sort it out, no worries!

To place your request, use a ==Second-level subheading== that contains the type of action (i.e. demotion, deletion etc.) and then underneath write why you want this to happen. Please provide links to any valid pages or users - and remember to sign your request using four tildes(~~~~)

This page should ONLY be used to request one of the above actions. If you want to ask about anything else, use the Community Portal.

Example:

===Protection===
I would like the Main_Page protected to stop people vandalising it. This wouldn't be good because it's 
the first page people see. Thanks. Jonny 17:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
