Sysops are not imbued with any special authority, and are equal to everyone else in terms of editorial responsibility. Some consider the terms "Sysop" and "Administrator" to be misnomers, as they just indicate users who have had performance - and security-based restrictions on several features lifted because they seemed like trustworthy folks. Sysops should not have power over other users other than applying decisions made by all users.

The community ''does'' look to Sysops to perform essential housekeeping chores that require the extra access sysops are entrusted with. Among them are keeping an eye on new and changed articles to swiftly delete vandalism, and meeting user requests for help that require Sysop access. Since Sysops are experienced members of the community, users seeking help will often turn to a Sysop for advice and information.

===What's different===
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted.  Of those restricted features, Sysops have access to the following:
* [[Special:Log/protect|Protect]]ing and unprotecting pages.
* Directly editing [[Metroid Wiki:Protected page|protected pages]].
* [[Special:Log/delete|Deleting]] pages and their history.
* Viewing and restoring deleted pages and their history.
* Permanently deleting images. This is a non-reversible change: Once an image is deleted, it is always deleted.
* Reverting pages quickly. Note that ''any'' user [[Help:Vandalism#Recent_Changes|can revert a page]] to an earlier version; Sysops simply have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism called ''rollback''.
* Looking up a user's IP address ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:CheckUser|CheckUser]]).
* Hiding revisions of a page that may have inappropriate content not suitable to retain in the history ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Oversight|oversight]]).
* [[Special:Log/block|Block]]ing IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts for a specific time or indefinitely; see the [[Metroid Wiki:Blocking Policy|Blocking Policy]] for more information.
* Unblocking IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.
 
==Bureaucrats==
'''Bureaucrats''' are Metroid Wiki users who have bureaucrat rights.
 
For a listing of all current bureaucrats, see [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat]].
 
These users are also Administrators. Aside from the responsibilities of Sysophood, Bureaucrats have the ability to grant (and revoke) Sysop or Bureaucrat status to other users. This ability is used periodically to ensure the Wiki has an ample number of active, capable administrators.

Adminsistrators are akin to normal moderators on a forum; they can lock, delete, and move pages. These are privileged members who contribute to the Wiki in a positive manner and, during their membership, have been upstanding examples for the wiki community. Bureaucrats are nearly the same as Admins except they can rename users. This position is reserved for the people who manage the Wiki itself most. below is a list of the staff of Metroid Wiki in alphabetical order.
