 Admin APIs
 ==========
 
-This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin
-APIs available.
-
-Authenticating as a server admin
---------------------------------
-
-Many of the API calls in the admin api will require an `access_token` for a
-server admin. (Note that a server admin is distinct from a room admin.)
-
-A user can be marked as a server admin by updating the database directly, e.g.:
-
-.. code-block:: sql
+**Note**: The latest documentation can be viewed `here <https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse>`_.
+See `docs/README.md <../docs/README.md>`_ for more information.
 
-    UPDATE users SET admin = 1 WHERE name = '@foo:bar.com';
+**Please update links to point to the website instead.** Existing files in this directory
+are preserved to maintain historical links, but may be moved in the future.
 
-A new server admin user can also be created using the
-``register_new_matrix_user`` script.
-
-Finding your user's `access_token` is client-dependent, but will usually be shown in the client's settings.
-
-Once you have your `access_token`, to include it in a request, the best option is to add the token to a request header:
-
-``curl --header "Authorization: Bearer <access_token>" <the_rest_of_your_API_request>``
+This directory includes documentation for the various synapse specific admin
+APIs available. Updates to the existing Admin API documentation should still
+be made to these files, but any new documentation files should instead be placed under
+`docs/usage/administration/admin_api <../docs/usage/administration/admin_api>`_.
 
-Fore more details, please refer to the complete `matrix spec documentation <https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/r0.5.0#using-access-tokens>`_.
