The wiki administrator is the individual who is (mostly) in charge of this very wiki. The last dedicated wiki admin was Cobblestone. The wiki admin is subordinate to the owner, and (to a lesser extent) the other main site admins.
Salt has assumed the role of Wiki Admin for the time being[1] following the 2026 Soyjak Wiki hack.
Powers and duties[edit | edit source]
The wiki admin is in charge of all 'ki staff. They create most of the rules, and have the jannies enforce them. The wiki admin is capable of introducing large, sweeping changes to the wiki, like Cobblestone did with the SNCA namespace and the Gradingcaust. Despite being subordinate to the owner, the wiki admin is generally allowed to run the 'ki as they please.
Limitations[edit | edit source]
The wiki admin's authority is not all-encompassing. Admins of the main site can create wiki policies, such as Limeade's policy against documenting any splinters. The wiki admin also cannot perform low-level backend operations on the MediaWiki software such as installing extensions.[2] The reason for this is that only the owner has access to the actual server the wiki is hosted on, and the wiki admin's power only extends to what can be done from MediaWiki's web interface.
History[edit | edit source]
The first wiki admin was Soot, who was the creator of both soyjak.party and the 'ki. Angeleno purchased the 'ki from Soot separately from kuz's purchase of the main site, but the two sites were tied back together when 'leno became a Sharty admin and later developer. 'Leno then gave adminship of the 'ki to Root, who was the Manager at the time. The next four admins (Tefal, SprokemowerMan, Cobblestone, and Fenriris) were each 'ki jannies under their predecessor who were chosen to take up the mantle of admin.
The Week of Four Admins[edit | edit source]
The Week of Four Admins[a] was a period in August of 2026 where control of the wiki changed hands between four different individuals in the span of less than a week. On August 12, Fenriris resigned due to mistakenly believing that Salt was going to JSID along with various other reasons, giving control of the 'ki back to Cobblestone. A day later, Cobblestone's account was compromised by a furtroon named Trinitite, who proceeded to deface the wiki. After resolving this, the owner, Salt, took direct control of the wiki rather than appointing a dedicated wiki admin. He was the first owner to do this since Soot.

Notes
- ↑ The term is based on "Year of Three Popes," a rare occurrence in which three different individuals serve as Pope within the same year.
