Stewards
Template:Other languages/Stewards
Stewards are users with complete access to the wiki interface on all Wikimedia wikis, including the ability to change any and all user rights and groups. They are tasked with technical implementation of community consensus, dealing with emergencies, and intervening against crosswiki vandalism. The number of stewards is not limited by policies.
To get emergency help or ask a question, join the IRC channel #wikimedia-stewardsconnect (web gateway); say !steward in this channel to notify stewards of an emergency. For regular request, see the list of request pages in the box at right. To contact a steward directly, use that steward's talk page.
Stewards generally do not perform actions on wikis where local users are available to perform them, except in emergency cases. This position was originally created to dissociate rights management from software development.
Stewards are elected roughly annually by the global Wikimedia community, and appointed from the elected candidates by the Board of Trustees. Candidates must have a support/oppose ratio of at least 80% with at least 30 supporting users. Current stewards are confirmed during each election. Stewards are subject to the steward policies; further documentation may be found in the steward handbook.
