Tell Me Why has a staff that consists of bureaucrats and administrators. These users have different functions than other users, meant for keeping the wiki clean and operated as well as trying to make sure the peace is kept, and that comments are kept civil and polite.
For any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact one of us and leave a message on one of our message walls. Suggestions for new things that could be done to improve the wiki are always welcome!
As editors will see, each staff member's username is color coded. This is not a form of boasting or egotism, but rather makes it easier for users to recognize staff members and therefore easily contact them when needing assistance. We are all editors here at Tell Me Why wiki; staff members simply have extra tools to maintain the quality and functionality of the wiki.

Administrators
Administrators, also known as sysops (system operators), are the main staff of the wiki. Unlike regular editors, these users have functions that helps the wiki's maintenance and design, as well as ensuring the halt of vandalism. These additional functions include:
- Delete and restore pages, as well as delete images or files.
- Lock (protect) both a page and a file so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without adminship privileges.
- Block users who are vandalizing the wiki from editing, etc., as well as unblock users.
- Grant and revoke both the chat moderator rights and forum moderator rights.
- Edit the wikia's skin and format.
- Edit MediaWiki pages.
