Members of the local[1] Administrator user-group are able exercise all local permissions offered by our Wiki, excepting only the ability to manipulate certain user-groups (which falls under the purview of Bureaucrats). Colloquially this group is referred to as “Full Administrators,” because the Rollback & Content Moderator groups both collectively possess most of the permissions Full Administrators do, & on this Wiki they operate as Code Administrators & Community Administrators respectively.
It should also be noted that Full Administrators are regarded by FANDOM Staff to be leaders of a given Wiki, & thus are the only ones able to request that certain extensions or other custom changes be enabled for a Wiki by FANDOM Staff. They are also the the users first approached by FANDOM Staff when FANDOM has a given proposal they would like to use a Wiki for, such as with the inclusion of Featured Videos. Additionally, Full Administrators show in several lists by default, such as in Special:Community & Special:ListAdmins.
