উইকিপিডিয়া:প্রশাসকত্ব কী নয়: সংশোধিত সংস্করণের মধ্যে পার্থক্য

'''প্রশাসকত্ব কী নয়''' তা এই প্রবন্ধটি ব্যাখ্যা করে।

 

'''Admins do not have "command authority" in the sense that some imagine'''. They can draw a line based on policies, norms and judgement, and enforce that line with the tools. They often have good insight and suggestions to users, and they should be good at gaining others' co-operation and working with people. But they do not, ever, act as "managers" to people in the business sense. They implement policies which the community in broad has agreed upon. Thus for example:

 

# users who are trusted to only use the tools provided to enact a decision within the standards that the community has decided, and not otherwise.

Administrator status does not place you in an elevated status within Wikipedia. It is not the user-equivalent of a [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]] or [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]]. Administrators rapidly find they have no extra sway in policy or other decisions because of an RFA. It does not affirm a user's contributions as an editor and is not an award for good editing or other good service. You will not gain respect simply by being an administrator. It may help to consider the other meaning of the word administrator, that is one who facilitates, rather than one who controls.

Adminship is simply a statement that the individual is a normal user whom the community views as likely to use the extra tools responsibly if allowed access to them. An admin is just a normal user with a mop and a bucket. It certainly does ''not'' give you any Sergeant-like authority.

High [[Wikipedia:Edit count|edit counts]] and a dedication to Wikipedia often demonstrate reliability and aptitude for adminship. However, candidates with high edit counts sometimes fail to pass a [[Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship|Request for adminship]], because RFA is about a user's approach and ''attitudes'', not about "how much they do". This is not personal; it does not mean that the community fails to appreciate your contributions. A number of exceptional editors are not admins and will never be, some through choice, some through communal consensus. A number of admins regularly ask to drop their adminship, to leave behind administrative chores and get back to editing instead. Sometimes good contributors simply do not have the proper temperament to be admins; but they are still valuable. No number of edits or length of time on Wikipedia entitles one to adminship.

Every administrator must keep in mind that admins are tools of Wikipedia as a whole. This means that all policies apply to admins just as they do to any user—if not more so. Admins can be readily blocked, stripped of their admin powers, or banned. Admins must follow all of Wikipedia policies (such as the [[Wikipedia:Three-revert rule|three-revert rule]]) and uphold [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] and a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]].

Administrators have access to useful tools not available to other users, and are able to use these to serve Wikipedia in additional ways. However, some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] do not wish to become administrators—despite having the expected levels of experience and community support. Users may always reject the opportunity or nomination to stand for adminship. Additionally, many tools and site areas exist for ordinary users to help in ways they might not have initially considered—see [[Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia|Contributing to Wikipedia]]. Users can even label the way in which they are helping by, for example, joining [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]]s and using the relevant [[Wikipedia:Userbox|Userbox]]es.

 

{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#GAME}}

Putting yourself up for or [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/nominate#To nominate someone else|nominating]] other Wikipedians to have an RfA is not a game and is serious. When you are an administrator you don't just block and unblock who you want, delete and undelete what you want, go around editing protected pages when you want or go protecting and unprotecting whatever you want.

 

{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#SALE}}

You, and only you should have access to the extra tools. Your access may be revoked if you are caught allowing someone else to use your account.

 

 

{{seealso|WP:NOBIGDEAL}}

Adminship is not meant to be anything special beyond access to extra editing tools which, pragmatically, cannot be given to every user. It does not give any extra status, weight in discussions, or special privileges beyond what is necessary to technically use those extra tools.
