Wikipedia:WikiJanitor

Not to be confused with Wikipedia:Administrators.

A WikiJanitor's favorite apparatus, the undo tool

A WikiJanitor is an average wiki user who makes numerous edits to fix typos, get rid of useless articles, undo vandalism, and generally clean Wikipedia. They are most accustomed to doing a variety of maintenance and security tasks.

Behavior

WikiJanitors are very important to maintaining Wikipedia. They are most commonly found patrolling the "Recent changes" page and their own favorites list. Although lacking any advanced tools, WikiJanitors use the basic equipment they have to help keep Wikipedia clean. Although they may not have the authority granted to some editors, WikiJanitors will gladly inform an Administrator of a problem requiring the wielding of such special powers, especially when reporting vandals. It should also be noted that WikiJanitors may not have as much experience as other WikiFauna, so they should be forgiven if a mistake is made.

Some trusted WikiJanitors may have tools such as rollback, pending changes reviewer, or AutoWikiBrowser access to aid them in their work.

Care and feeding

WikiJanitors, although having both the traits of WikiGnomes and WikiGoons, do like attention. Their favorite foods are cheeseburgers and falafels; they probably like fajitas too.

Identification
