Sysops are low level general purpose administrators of the wiki. They have
nothing to do with administration of the hardware or software. There are
higher levels of adminitration.

Hi,
What are the differences between the terms "sysop" and "admin" and
which one
do you think is better and why?
Don't you have a dictionary ?
In which way does your question relate to wikipedia project ?
Administrator:
Some one who direct and manage an organisation, a community.
Sysop:
Means "SYStem OPerator" an administrator of a computer service, be it
a server, a forum or a wiki.
Basicly administrator is used widely, whereas sysop is almost only used
in the computer field.
