 * List of Reviewers
 * List of Bots

 * See UserRights (Bureaucrat permissions required) to change the assignment/permission for a user.


 * Administrators in the wiki will come and go. The role will need changing for those who are no longer administrators.

 * Reviewers are typically those who are assigned to upload images to the wiki.
