All [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] using the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software | All [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]] using the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software are able to display a full list of current sysops of their wiki, found at <tt>/Special:ListUsers/sysop</tt> (unless they specifically choose to withold that information). Other [[:Category:Wiki Engine|wiki engines]] either don't have easy ways to publish a list of sysops, or the wiki is beautifully simple and doesn't need that role. | ||
