Though generally confined to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrator" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Administrator">administrators</a>, the condition has been observed in some non-administrators. Although the exact causes are unknown, there is thought to be some correlation towards extensive and prolonged anti-vandalism activity. The mystery is that this disease is not only found in humans, but in all the creatures of the planet (even in things created by humans, the most common cases being cars and refrigerators, although the symptoms found in machines vary significantly from the ones that appear in humans) (except plants (yet)), and the way these things are showing the symptoms of adminitis is yet unknown. Adminitis is being studied by very many scientists (especially doctors) but the results from these studies only confuse the situation. It has been ranked the most dangerous disease in the entire Wikiverse by the Community Health Initiative. </p><p>It is generally advised that when you see anything suffering from adminitis, humans, animals or anything else, call the nearest hospital (for humans and animals), the nearest service center (for items) or the local <a href="/wiki/Building_inspector" class="mw-redirect" title="Building inspector">building inspector</a> (for buildings). If they do not respond, immediately call the local police department to report a public health hazard, because the entity with adminitis may harm or infect others. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc"/> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Symptoms" data-mw-thread-id="h-Symptoms"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Symptoms"></span>Symptoms<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Symptoms"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Adminitis&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Symptoms"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>Strongly believes that all users are equal but admins are <a href="/wiki/Primus_inter_pares" title="Primus inter pares">more equal than others</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Assume_bad_faith" title="Wikipedia:Assume bad faith">Assumes bad faith</a> frequently</li> <li>TLAitis (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WOTTA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WOTTA">WP:WOTTA</a>)</li> <li>Stops editing articles, but continuously pontificates about "writing the encyclopedia"</li> <li>Impatience</li> <li>Exhibits <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/immediatism" class="extiw" title="m:immediatism">immediatism</a></li> <li>Hangs out in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Project_namespace" title="Wikipedia:Project namespace">project namespace</a></li> <li>Has no time for featured articles</li> <li>Frequently refreshes pages to catch the latest change that (of course) needs to be reverted</li> <li>Believes that <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:EVULA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:EVULA">they are always right</a> (sorry, EVula...)</li> <li>Believes anyone who uses the word 'vote' for 'express a view in a straw poll' should be banned for life</li> <li>Originally hailed as the nicest person on the wiki, now reviled as the most hated <a href="/wiki/Troll_(internet)" class="mw-redirect" title="Troll (internet)">troll</a></li> <li>Prevents pages from being edited in encyclopedic fashion for policy reasons</li> <li>General <a href="/wiki/Bastard_Operator_From_Hell" title="Bastard Operator From Hell">BOFHness</a></li> <li>Strict adherence to "Wikipedia policy" while not using common sense or conversely,</li> <li>Strict adherence to ignore all rules, as a strict rule... while not using <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Common_sense" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Common sense">common sense</a></li> <li>Self-denial.

More study needs to be conducted in order to identify transmission mechanisms. No effective containment mechanisms have been identified. So far anti-vandal bots have proved immune to this condition, although as yet there is no convincing explanation concerning this anomaly. </p><p>Observational studies have noted that sufferers will seek the counsel of their Wikipedia friends, but end up infecting them in the process.

Frequently, what appears to be a wikideath becomes a wikiresurrection in the form of a user who is considerably more circumspect, and often more detached from processes. Some resurrectees have exhibited shortness of temper, but with considerably lower flameout levels. Recurrence is rare, but if it occurs is almost always unrecoverable. </p><p>If the initial condition is not fatal, it may take months for a patient to recover, even if under the care and treatment of
