Do you need an administrator to...

• Block a vandal or spammer who has been sufficiently warned? See Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism.
• Block someone who has violated the three-revert rule or edit warred? See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring.
• Block someone for a blatant username policy violation? See Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention.
• Block someone for abusing multiple accounts? See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations.
• Block someone for other reasons? See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

  Learn more by reviewing Wikipedia's blocking policy.

• Respond to a threat of physical harm or self-harm? See Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm for instructions on how to do this immediately.
• Delete a page?
  • See Wikipedia:Speedy deletion if the page appears nonsensical, just someone testing the wiki, or meets another criterion for speedy deletion.
  • See Wikipedia:Proposed deletion if the deletion is likely to be non-controversial.
  • See Wikipedia:Deletion process if you feel the page does not belong on Wikipedia and wish to start a discussion.

  Learn more by reviewing Wikipedia's deletion policy.

• Undelete a page or view a deleted page?
  • See Wikipedia:Deletion review if you wish to discuss or appeal a deletion that was performed.
  • See Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion to request an undeletion of a page that was not controversially deleted via proposed deletion.

  Learn more by reviewing Wikipedia's undeletion policy.

• Protect or unprotect a page? See Wikipedia:Requests for page protection to file a request.
• Help with redirects or page moves? See Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion or Wikipedia:Requested moves. You can also try the Administrators' noticeboard.

  Learn more by reviewing Wikipedia's redirect guideline.

• Edit a protected page? Template:Anchor
  • Reach consensus on the page's talk page, and then request an edit by adding Template:Tl to the talk page. (If the talk page is also protected, use Template:Section link instead.)
  • To fix errors on the Main Page, use Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors. For minor tweaks, make a request on Talk:Main Page.
• Revert an edit or a small number of edits? See Wikipedia:Reverting for how to easily do it yourself.
• Remove sensitive or offensive information or copyright violations from the article history? See Wikipedia:Revision deletion.
• Unblock you? See Wikipedia:Appealing a block.
• Enforce an arbitration ruling? See Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement.

  Learn more by reviewing Wikipedia's arbitration policy.

• Answer some other question? Place Template:Tl on your talkpage and ask your question, or post it to the help desk.

• Template:AnchorDo something else? Either contact a recently active administrator directly, or try the Administrators' noticeboard.

Administrators cannot...

• Decide disputes. If you are involved in a content dispute, use the dispute resolution process instead. However, administrators or other users can informally offer an opinion if you ask them privately on their user talk pages.
• Fix bugs. You can report them at Phabricator.
• Make someone an administrator. Only bureaucrats can do this, and only following community consensus at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship.
• Remove administrator status from someone. This is done by bureaucrats or stewards, and only on the request of the Arbitration Committee or by request of the administrator.
• Query the Wikipedia database. Ask at Wikipedia:SQL query requests, or download the database and run them yourself.
• Reassign edits or change your username. Ask a global renamer at Wikipedia:Changing username.
• Delete accounts. This is not possible. See Help:Delete account for alternatives.
• Protect pages from specific users or decide which version is "correct". See Wikipedia:Protection policy.
