TestWiki:Administrators: Difference between revisions

The administrator permission has most of the same user group rights as an administrator on most other projects. Though we use a lot of [[<tvar name="cs">w:WP:COMMONSENSE</tvar>|common sense]] here and ask that all administrators and registered users do the same, prospective or new administrators are encouraged to read the official policies listed at <tvar name="policies">[[TestWiki:Policies]]</tvar> (especially <tvar name="mp">[[TestWiki:Main policy]]</tvar>). In general terms, this means undoing or otherwise reverting any tests you do and performing test blocks on either (a)<tvar name="uexample">[[User:Example]]</tvar> (or [[User:Example2]] and [[User:Example3]]) or (b) yourself. If you ''do'' wish to perform a test block on another user, a best practice, which you are strongly encouraged to practice here on [[<tvar name="test">mh:test</tvar>|'''Public Test Wiki''']] is to obtain their consent, in writing and preferably on-wiki in advance.
