These are the staff members abilities and restrictions on the New Looney Tunes Wiki and all the other Wikis on Wikia.
Administrators
Administrators, or admins for short, are users with more abilities that can access a few additional functions. Administrators must edit frequently, and be able to handle and deal with issues that occur in the wiki community.
Abilities
- Can block a user or an IP address.
- Can delete pages and files.
- Cannot edit the interface by changing MediaWiki, the background or the logo.
- Can kick or ban a user from Chat.
- Can protect a page so that it cannot be edited by regular users.
- Can rollback a string of edits made by the same user.
- Can hand out or take away chat moderator or discussion moderator rights.
Restrictions
- Cannot hand out or take away administrator, bureaucrat, content moderator, or rollback rights.
Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats, or b-crats for short are considered the bosses of the Wiki. In addition to administrator rights, they can promote and demote users who are in the Administrator, Content Moderator, Discussion Moderator, Rollback, or regular user status. They can also promote administrators to bureaucrats. While a bureaucrat cannot remove a another user's bureaucrat status, they may remove their own. There aren't many bureaucrats on the Wiki and it is very hard to be promoted to one, due to the fact that you need to build a ton of trust with the Wiki community. Remember that all bureaucrats also have administrator rights.

- Can hand out or take away administrator, content moderator, discussion moderator, or rollback rights.
- Can hand out, but cannot take away bureaucrat rights.
