Wikidata:Administrators' how-to guide

This page is a basic how-to guide explaining how to carry out administrative actions.

Deleting an item edit

Undeleting an item edit

Blocking a user or IP address edit

Blocking a range of IP addresses edit

Go to Special:Blockip and enter the range in the first field (in CIDR notation [aka slash notation]). Then follow the instructions in the section above. Please do not block ranges if you do not understand the process. Read mw:Range blocks for instructions.

Using Rollback edit

In cases of large scale vandalism that flood recent changes, administrators may use "bot rollback". Add &bot=1 to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, http://www.wikidata.org/w/?title=Special:Contributions&target=Vandal&bot=1. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert, and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default Recentchanges display.

Using the Flood flag edit

Granting user rights edit
