This page lists users who have special privileges on Combine OverWiki and therefore who to ask for help.
Contents
Administrators
Administrators, sometimes called system operators or sysops for short, are members of the community charged with maintaining the smooth operation of the wiki. They can protect pages, ban users and IPs, and delete pages and images from the system. Administrators are considered by some to be the "leaders" of the site, for lack of a better term.
When you have a problem or question regarding the site, an Administrator will help you any way he or she can.
Current administrators
- Barnz
- Bramblepath (Inactive)
- Klow (Inactive)
- Marphy
- Sandvich18 (Inactive)
- Triang3l
Retired administrators
Most of these administrators have been active on Wikia only, not on the current wiki.
- Chuck182 (Original founder)
- Coming Second

- Donut THX 1138
- EVula
- Fijure
- Halo-343

Becoming an administrator
Administrators are selected on an as-needed basis only. There are no official criteria to become an administrator, however there are a few basic guidelines. When an administrator is needed, one will be selected from the rest of the users. To be appointed, the user must fill these requirements:
- have an account on Combine OverWiki for some time
- be an active contributor
- know how a wiki works
- have no history of vandalism or abuse
- have a decent level of English
- have an overall grasp of the HL/P universe
- show maturity in dealing with disputes and other problems that might come with other users
Bureaucrats
A bureaucrat is an administrator with the additional responsibilities of granting (and revoking) rollback permissions and promoting users to Administrator.
Current bureaucrats
While we have counted other bureaucrats in the past, the wiki currently has four: Marphy, Sandvich18, Klow and Bramblepath.
Rollbackers
Users in the rollback group can rollback edits in a single click, and protect pages to deal with spam. They include:
Current rollbackers
- Vic (Inactive)
Retired rollbackers
These rollbackers have been active on Wikia only.
Bots
Bots are designed to perform repetitive and menial edits in large quantities so as to reduce the workload for both users and administrators, mostly through AutoWikiBrowser. Their edits do not appear in the recent changes timeline unless users specifically allow them to.
The wiki currently has two bots:
