Leader

The leader of a wiki is a person who is the principal, senior administrator in charge of the site; either by means of founding the wiki, being asked to take over from the retiring founder, or adopting a dormant and / or abandoned wiki site.

The leader may be an active contributor and key member of the community of editors; or, as in the case of WikiIndex, may be 'hands-off'^{John Stanton (founder) and Ray King (owner)} and leave the day-to-day running to another senior member^MarkDilley of the community.

Wiki leaders are usually members of both sysop and Bureaucrat usergroups; and, depending upon their level of wiki expertise, may also be a member of the interwiki usergroup, or may even have created an additional bot account.
