Q: What are bureaucrats and sysops? How do I know if I am one?
A: Bureaucrats and sysops are two classes of AIRWiki users, who possess special privileges. Some administration tasks can only be performed by bureaucrats and/or by sysops (see the questions in this page for some examples). You can check if you are a bureaucrat or a sysop by looking at the user list: special privileges associated to users are specified next to their userid. If you need to become a bureaucrat or sysop for some reason, you have to ask the AIRWiki administrators.
