The Admin Dashboard is a centralized space that highlights the most important tools used by admins. The special pages are built into it to make the Admin Dashboard the go-to place for admins and founders to easily tweak and monitor their community.
Accessing the dashboard
The Admin Dashboard is available on all wikis you have founded or are an administrator on.
It can be found by clicking on "Admin" in the universal Toolbar at the bottom of your screen, or by visiting Special:AdminDashboard. However, users who attempt to access the admin dashboard without admin rights will get a permissions error instead.
How it works
Important admin tools that are often used live on the "General" tab. The following links point to the help pages for each function.
Wiki
Theme Designer — quickly and easily give your wiki a theme
The "Advanced" tab is home to the rest of the special pages, normally found on Special:SpecialPages. (If you visit a community that you are not an admin of you will see Special:SpecialPages in a more basic format.)
Quick Stats
Quick Stats lives on the right side of the Admin Dashboard. Here you can monitor your community's recent statistics. It shows page views, edits, and photo uploads for the past seven days.
