Line 1: {{Essay}} {{Shortcut\|WP:POWER}} {{nutshell\|Don't edit wikipedia just for power and to become an admin. Edit Wikipedia to build an encyclopedia!}} :''This page provides a concept on Wikipedia Behaviour, which is that of only editing the website to become an [[WP:ADMIN\|admin]]. Even though it is acceptable, it describes that the failure to get power can cause trouble. The message is that don't edit wikipedia just for power and to become an admin. Edit Wikipedia to build an encyclopedia!'' ~~==Users for power==~~ '''Wikipedia''' is an encyclopedia where we work together, and of course we need admins to [[WP:BLOCK\|block users]], [[WP:PROTECT\|protect pages]] and [[WP:DELETE\|delete things]], but to many users tend to think that adminship seems like a job where you are powerful, the boss and in control, whilst also you are allowed to act in anyway you want, and everybody takes your opinion as right. Because of this, some users only edit Wikipedia in a nice manner just to become an admin, so they can supposedly gain the power they want, themselves forgetting what the encyclopedia itself is for.
