'''''Rouge admins''''' are a [[WP:CABAL|cabal]] of [[Special:Listadmins|administrators]], governed by [[WP:5EVIL|five pillars of evil]] and [[Wikipedia:Five pillars|the Five Pillars of Untruth]], who stand in the way of [[WP:Purpose|Wikipedia's true purpose]], which is to disseminate new and controversial theories, publicise hitherto suppressed views about [[The Establishment|establishment]] figures, document the stories which the...

... [[Criticism of mass media|news media]] refuse to touch, suppress [[Small business|small businesspeople]] from establishing [[Empire of Atlantium|ginger monopolies as the first step to attaining secular galaxial government]],<ref>Ginger monopolies is the unstated but exceedingly crafty plan by several small businesspeople loosely affiliated with the E of A to corner the market in growing jolly good ginger; it is unclear if the Imperium is officially sanctioning this undertaking, and we may never fully know because a USDA probe team that had been 24/7 monitoring unmanned drones over Sydney (confining its activities pretty rigorously, sort of, to E of A and not the surrounding macrostate's territory) has suffered intermittent power failures to its critical computing infrastructure as part of sequestration requirements foisted upon the US as it went over the fiscal cliff as of March 2013</ref> and bring to [[public]] attention the “[[Holy Grail]]” which the said groups refuse to endorse.

[[File:Heads on spikes.png|thumb|[[WP:BITE|Victim]]s of the Rouge admins]]
When the fearless blogger-after-truth stands alone before the might of [[wikt:vested interest|Vested Interest]]s and only Wikipedia can bring [[Wikipedia:The Truth|The Truth™]] to the teeming multitudes, when the web forum hits thirty members and just 9,970 more will earn the webmaster a cent a click from banner advertising, when [[Isaac Kaufmann Funk|I.K. Funk & Company]] rejects the call for resignation of the entire board backed by the holder of nearly two shares of common stock—that is when Wikipedia’s purpose can at last be realised.

And then it is that the ''Rouge admins'' step in.  Based on the flimsiest of grounds—policy and consensus—they require not [[Truthiness|The Truth™]] but that which is [[WP:V|verifiable]].  They will not accept the word of anyone other than a [[WP:RS|reliable source]], no matter that all such sources are part of the great [[List of conspiracy theories|conspiracy]] to suppress [[Urban legend|The Truth™]].  They further demand that the dissenting opinions of those who believe [[Pseudoscience|The Truth™]] to be [[Wikipedia:Complete bollocks|complete bollocks]] be given [[WP:NPOV|due weight]]. And they delete, delete, delete.  Heedless of the hordes of anonymous ''keep'' votes at [[WP:AFD|Articles for Deletion]], discounting the legion of [[WP:SPA|brand new users]] who have registered ''just so they can ensure [[Big lie|The Truth™]] is told'', they accept without question the assurance of [[WP:CABAL|fellow ''Rouge admins'']] that [[Conspiracy theory|The Truth™]] is unverifiable, incapable of being covered neutrally, unsourced and unproven.  They resist ''perfectly reasonable'' demands for [[Knights who say Ni|shrubberies]] before critical content can be added.  And when more [[WP:SOCK|brand new users]] come along to [[WP:EDITWAR|rectify the situation]] by creating new articles with ''much better titles'', the ''Rouge admins'' race right back in to [[WP:CSD|delete them again]], to [[WP:BP|block]] the new users and [[WP:PP|lock]] the articles.

[[WP:HAR|All the pleading in the world]] falls on deaf ears.  It’s as though the ''Rouge admins'' do not realise that when [[Jimbo Wales|Jimbo]] [[WP:JIMBOSAID|said]] that [[WP:NPOV|neutral point of view]] was non-negotiable, ''he didn’t mean it to stop [[WP:FRINGE|The Truth™]] being told!''  And, well, even if he has stepped in numerous times to, um, enforce it, it’s only because… the ''Rouge admins'' have poisoned his mind and misrepresented the situation on IRC.  Or something.

The ''Rouge admins'', scourge of [[WP:TE|fair play]], defenders of the powerful, in the pay of either [[Oligarchy|Corporate America]]<ref>[[Corporate America (disambiguation)|Corporate America]], please [[User Talk:JzG|contact the original author]] for paying-in details. All major currencies accepted, we apologise that receipts cannot be provided.</ref> or [[Chinese Communists]] (or more likely both)—they insidiously subvert Wikipedia’s true mission, the mission Jimbo surely had in mind and simply forgot to add to the [[WP:5P|five pillars]].  Damn those ''Rouge admins''!

Although one may initially think that the ''Rouge admins'' are so named due to their well-documented [[Red flag (politics)|red-loving]] proclivities, or sneaky and renegade nature (similar to, for example, the [[Rogue (Dungeons & Dragons)|rogue character class]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons]]), in fact, their name stems from the [[Wiktionary:rouge|red or pink makeup]] they use to add colour to their cheeks. In contrast, ''rogue'' administrators wear only aftershave. And clothing. Once in a while.
