Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, administrators can access a few additional functions.
As a good sized wiki with a large community and a sizable amount of articles, it is only reasonable that the PINY Institute of New York Wiki would have an administration. Like all administration, it consists of devoted members who have proven themselves to be of high quality and devotion to the site.

Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Please use Special:Contact to contact Wikia staff.
