Wikipedia:Impersonating an administrator
Occasionally, an editor who is not a Wikipedia administrator will falsely represent themselves as being an administrator or having administrative power or authority. This conduct is expressly prohibited by Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines § Behavior that is unacceptable:
- Do not claim to be an administrator or to have an access level that you do not have. User access levels can always be verified at Special:ListUsers.
This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
A complete list of Wikipedians with administrative permissions can be found here. An editor whose name does not appear on this list is generally not an administrator, although there may be rare instances in which an administrator makes edits from a non-administrator role account.
