Current Administrators
The current list of wiki administrators can be found at Special:ListUsers/sysop.
Active Admins
Players (even wiki admins) often leave Project 1999 and its wiki, either temporarily or permanently. This can make finding an active admin slightly challenging.
One option is to go through the above list and check each admin's editing history: if they've edited anything recently, they are likely active.
Another option is to contact Loramin (via wiki talk, or preferably throughthe forum's PM system). Loramin has been helping the wiki since 2013, and remained available even when not playing on Project 1999, so while it can't be guaranteed, he almost certainly is active.
Administrator Standards
This wiki isn't big enough to have formal administrator standards: administrators are simply chosen by other administrators, after demonstrating an especially strong commitment to improving the wiki.
Because new administrators open up the possibility of massive wiki damage, only individuals who have demonstrated consistently good behavior, over at least a year of wiki work (preferably more), should be chosen.
Becoming an Administrator
The wiki currently has a healthy number of administrators, and so is not in need of more at this time.
If any administrator feels the wiki needs more, they are strongly encouraged to discuss the matter with other wiki administrators (and then invite new administrators).
Wiki Customization Projects
The wiki has several forms of customization (eg. the "loc maps" which display maps when a "loc" in the wiki is hovered-over, or the filtering on the Per-Level Hunting Guide). These customizations depend on special CSS and JavaScript that only administrators can add.
If a non-admin has a customization, they should contact a technical wiki admin (eg. Loramin) who can inspect the code to ensure its safety, then add it to the site. While it is possible for a user to be granted admin privileges so that they can install a customization themselves, for safety reasons this is strongly discouraged (unless that user has an exemplary background).
