If you find such a page protected and need it to have some kind of edit done, notify a [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|site administrator]].

== Permissions ==

While few in number, there are a couple of permissions that are not given to all users:

* '''Administrator''' — Numerous additional functions for easy site administration. Most notably include blocking users, protecting pages, and deleting pages and logs from public visibility.

* '''Bureaucrat''' — Can assign and revoke permissions, edit user accounts, and create new accounts.

* '''Interface administrator''' — Can edit pages which content's dictate the look of the website (e.g [[MediaWiki:Editnotice-0-War game rules]], which dictates the message shown to all editors that edit that page).

For an exhaustive list of all user permissions, and what each permission can explicitly do, see [[Special:ListGroupRights]].

Any user with an account may request one of the above from Sirdog of whom may approve or deny such requests at his discretion. Those with prior history editing Wikimedia projects are considerably more likely to receive such permissions, though the biggest factor is level of editing activity, knowledge of wiki construction, and willingness to learn.

Fleff, due to his nature as the gamemaster and curator of the game this wiki is dedicated too, is entitled to all above permissions at his request. He is also capable of vetoing any request for advanced permissions and ordering the disabling of any user's account. He is also, at his request, able to receive the Endurance War Game specific permission labeled "gamemaster" which allows the protection of pages from editing to even site administrators.
