Request an account on Foundation wiki

Archives (current)→

This page is for requesting the creation of a user account on the Wikimedia Foundation's website (not on any other wiki). To ensure that users are already familiar with the policies of at least one Wikimedia project, only administrators either current or former, Foundation committee members, or local chapter members may apply for an account. If you are not already an administrator, please see the request for adminship page on your local wiki (this should be linked from Wikimedia projects). Creation of an account is not automatic and is subject to approval. To ensure that requests are not forged, only registered users on Meta can submit requests. Please keep this page on your watchlist and check back on your request; you may be asked for more information before a request is accepted or rejected. If you do not respond, your request may be removed. After seeing your request fulfilled, please archive your section. Thanks! Please provide: your username, with a link to a Wikimedia project where you are an admin or the names of the committee(s) or local chapters of which you are a member a valid email address (not Special:Emailuser. We need a valid e-mail address to plug into the "create an account by e-mail" form.) the reason(s) you need an account your dated signature Please note: You do not need an account on the Foundation wiki to help with translations, and requests for accounts to translate will be denied. All translation work is done here on Meta-Wiki so that many people can collaborate and so that pages can be proofread before being published. You also should not apply for an account just to do "wikignome work" if you are not already active on Foundation wiki feedback or other Meta-/Foundation-level projects. Thank you for your interest!
