If you are new to Miraheze you may not know how to moderate your new wiki.
First you will want to familiarise yourself with the “Special” pages for admins:
/wiki/Special:SpecialPages
There are however a lot of them so here I’m going to go through the most important pages here.
Creating a new user
The “CreateAccount” page is relatively easy to find but is still important enough to mention:
/wiki/Special:CreateAccount
This can be useful for giving other members of an organisation accounts without requiring them to register themselves.

Making another user an admin
In order to make another user an admin you will find that option in the “UserRights” page:
/wiki/Special:UserRights
Where you can search for a user by their username and then add “administrator” to their groups.

Email a user
A less known (but extremely useful) page is the “EmailUser” page:
/wiki/Special:EmailUser
This can be very handy if you need to quickly get in contact with a user to ask them what they are up to on your wiki.

Reset a users password
Another easy to find (but important to know about) is the “PasswordReset” page:
/wiki/Special:PasswordReset
This is one of those pages you will likely be using a lot if your an administrator.

Delete a users contributions
If you want to delete all of a users contributions (or just a certain number of their recent ones) you will need the “Nuke” page.
/wiki/Special:Nuke
This will allow you to mass delete any pages recently added by a specific user.
![](https://davidstockdalescrapcode.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/miraheze-mass-delete.jpg)
This can be used with the “Contributions” page to find any contributions that don’t involve creating entire new pages.
/wiki/Special:Contributions
This can be helpful for getting the specific number of recent contributions which you can then undo.

And if you want to double check you haven’t deleted something you meant to keep there is the “DeletedContributions” page.
/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions
Which does exactly what you’d expect.

Block a user
Next if you want to block a user entirely you can use the “Block” page:
/wiki/Special:Block
Which has a variety of options that can be used to ensure a user never comes back even if they use a new IP address.

View users
Another easy to find (but important to know about) is the “ListUsers” page:
/wiki/Special:ListUsers
This is separate from the “ActiveUsers” page which can also be useful by the way.
