Wikipedia:WikiProject Administrator

This project seeks to address the role of administrators and their interaction with other editors by consolidating discussion of relevant issues.

Wikipedia is a large and growing community and it is important that we continue to advance the primary function of Wikipedia. The role of our administrators must evolve, and as a community we must embrace reform and appropriate improvements.
