Wikidata:Administrators' how-to guide

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

Blocking a range of IP addresses

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

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.
