Currently both of them are used.

ā€œAdministratorā€ has about 110 entries

I would prefer to select ā€œAdministratorā€.

@Valdnet for your information.

What do you and others think?

Correctly and officially it is ā€œAdministratorā€ because ā€œAdminā€ is a shortened version of administrator.

Having inclusion in mind, ā€˜administrationā€™ is another option.

Makes it easier in other languages to establish a neutral expression.

edit:

This seems to be a good example of the discussion we had on gender neutral language and ways how to achieve it. What do you think, @jan ?

Ok, we started to use ā€œAdministrationā€ in the first cases. ā€œAdminā€ should not be used anymore in source code.
