Administrateurs d'interface

Technical administrators are users with the ability to edit sitewide CSS/JS pages (pages such as MediaWiki:Common.js or MediaWiki:Vector.css, or the gadget pages listed on Special:Gadgets). These pages are executed by the browser of wiki editors and readers as code, which can be used to change how content is styled, change the behavior of pages, or even create highly complex tools such as wikEd (they can also edit all other pages in the MediaWiki namespace).

Editing CSS/JS that gets executed in other users' browsers is a very powerful and potentially dangerous in the hands of a malicious user; technical administrators should be users who are highly trusted, have at least a basic understanding of CSS and JS, are aware of the privacy expectations of Wikimedia wikis, and have a decent understanding of account security (choosing strong unique passwords, not getting infected by malware, preferably using two-factor authentication ). It is recommended to remove the technical administrator rights of inactive users, to reduce the attack surface. Small wikis might also want to make sure they have at least two people who can read Javascript so they can vet each other's edits (a bit like checkusers).
