From YPPedia
This is still being worked with, toyed with, and adjusted. It does NOT reflect Y!PPedia policy, nor the opinions of any administrator other than PTG, not the opinions of OOO/the OMs.

Responsibilities of Administrators
Responsibilities Regarding Community
- Administrators encourage and help new editors, as well as experienced ones.
- Administrators foster a collaborative, consensus-based environment throughout the YPPedia.
- Administrators discipline editors who are consistently disruptive or destructive, and may report especially difficult or frequent violators to the OMs for further measures.
- Administrators represent the YPPedia and it's interests on the official OOO forums, as well as in-game, and answer valid inquiries about policy or practice.
Responsibilities Regarding Information
- Administrators make an effort to produce new content, be it adding wholly new articles to the YPPedia, or updating existing pages.
- Administrators always strive to make content easier to find, easier to read, and more meaningful and thorough.
- Administrators occasionally launch long-term projects to stated goals, such as determining the decay rates of various items, or assembling floorplans of the various houses.
Responsibilities Regarding Accountability
- Administrators moderate new content and do their best to ensure encyclopedic value and factual accuracy.
- Administrators use the tools provided to them responsibly, and take responsibility for their actions and contributions.
Not Administrator Responsibilities
- Administrators do not have any control over any content appearing in the Official: namespace, and do not make substantial edits to pages in that namespace.
- This also applies to images uploaded by OMs/Ringers to be used on official documentation.
- Administrators do not have any control over any in-game features, including bans, blackspots, shuns, suspensions, or property.
- Administrators do not bear responsibility for any content other than that which they themselves have created.
