- Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.
Bureaucrat abilities []
A bureaucrat can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on their own wiki.
Bureaucrats can also give users the ability to "rollback" edits.

Becoming an administrator[]
For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On this wiki, you may simply ask on the community association or Forum, or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.
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. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
