The proper behavior of a Rouge administrator can be described by five pillars of evil that define their character:

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia

incorporating only material deemed to be "encyclopedic". This term need not have a consistent definition, but is always in alignment with whatever an administrator thinks.

Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view

and since administrators are community-appointed stewards, whose point of view could possibly be more neutral?

Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute

that anyone may edit. All text is available under the purview of Wikipedia administrators and must be distributed or linked according to their wishes. Recognize that articles can be changed by anyone, but only admins control articles.

Wikipedians should interact in a respectful and civil manner

with administrators even when you don't agree with them. Be civil (note: ordinary users only). Avoid edit wars with admins, as they are always right; remember that there are 6,912,522 other articles on the English Wikipedia to work on and discuss, so why don't you go somewhere else (and counting) if you've got a problem? Act in good faith (Note: administrators can still assume bad faith on your part), and assume good faith on the part of administrators.

Wikipedia has no firm rules

for administrators.

Note

This page describes Rouge administrators' fundamental principles. These principles pre-date the creation of this page.
