Sysops[edit]
Sysops are administrators who perform cleanup tasks (deleting pages, undoing page move vandalism) and can block accounts and IP addresses according to the rules of the Guild Wars Wiki policy. Sysops also protect critical or unusually contentious pages from editing. Sysops are granted reasonable discretion, but they are expected to apply policy rigorously and respect consensus. Sysops are expected (but not required) to provide a publicly reachable e-mail address or other means of private contact.
Sysops are selected by a review process based on nominations. New nominations may be made by any contributor in good standing, and nominators may nominate any contributor in good standing, including themselves. The nomination is reviewed for a fixed period of time, after which a bureaucrat will assess the community consensus and appoint the nominee if the consensus is in favor.
Sysops are appointed for life, but may voluntarily resign. Their status may also be formally examined by the Arbitration committee.
