Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the SmashWiki community. | Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism.

Administrators have no additional say in the content of SmashWiki. [[SmashWiki:You are valuable|Administrators are equally valuable to every contributor.]] Most administrators actively contribute to SmashWiki - they will, inevitably, get into conflict disputes with other users. | Administrators have no additional say in the content of SmashWiki.
