This page hosts requests for requesting administrator access on the Meta-Wiki; for requesting administrator access on any other wiki, please see the index of request and proposal pages, where a Steward can do the job if required. Bureaucrat, checkuser and bot requests are also made here. Before making a request here, please see the administrator policy.

Requests should be listed here for at least seven days; bureaucrats should only close after this minimum time. Adminship will be granted by a support ratio of at least 75%. If a request hasn't been addressed by a bureaucrat after a lengthy period of time, please leave a note at Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. Requests may be extended, or put on hold by bureaucrats, pending decision or finding of consensus.

Requests for temporary adminship and bot requests may be less formal and often go for a shorter duration if consensus becomes clear after only a few days of discussion.

All editors with an account on Meta, at least one active account on any Wikimedia project, and a link between the two, may participate in any request and give their opinion of the candidate. However, more active Meta editors' opinions may be given additional weight in controversial cases.

See below for information on prerequisites on submitting a request, and how to add a nomination.

Information

Note that this page is for access on Meta only. See the Steward requests/Permissions page for adminship/deadminship requests on other projects.

Regular adminship

  1. Before requesting admin access, please ensure you meet all of the minimum criteria:
    • Be an administrator, bureaucrat or checkuser on a local Wikipedia or related content project.
    • Have a user page on Meta, with links to the user pages on other participated projects. This can state that SUL is activated or be provided via a Wiki matrix if that is not possible.
    • Have a valid contact address (either a confirmed email address in preferences, or a valid email address on the user page).
    • Be a currently active contributor on Meta. This is a subjective, not an objective, measure and there is no official post count.
  2. As Meta has a cross-wiki role, admins here are expected to have cross wiki experience. SUL confirmation or a matrix will ensure that editing on other wikis can be easily seen. It would be expected that those seeking adminship here would have both reasonable experience here and on other wikis.
  3. Given the multi-lingual nature of Meta, {{#babel:}} information will be of use to others.
  4. Place a request on this page, by transcluding a subpage, for example {{Meta:Requests for adminship/Example}}. Please put the newest request on the top. Bear in mind that even if you do meet the criteria above this does not mean that the community will automatically approve a request. Please add a minimum ending date to the election, allowing a full 7 day period from the first timestamp: 
    ''Ending {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+1 week}} UTC''

Bureaucratship

Add your request below under the bureaucratship section. Please note:

  • Only active administrators can become bureaucrats, and only after 6 months of regular adminship
  • User is endorsed by two current bureaucrats after he/she nominates themselves here

If you fail any of these requirements, you will not be assigned the bureaucrat flag. For more information see Meta:Bureaucrats

Other access

  • Temporary adminship: If you need temporary sysop access for a particular reason (such as ability to edit protected pages), you may request temporary adminship on meta. In this case, adminship shall be granted with no requirements and approval, but the user will promise to limit their activity to the necessity of what they asked for. Temporary sysop access will normally be valid for one month.
  • Bot: Please read the bot policy. This wiki allows global bots and automatic approval of certain types of bots; for other bots, add your request below under the bot section, in the same way as an admin request.
  • CheckUser: please read the CheckUser policy and add your request below under the checkuser section, in the same way as an admin request.
  • Oversight: please read the Oversight policy and add your request below under the oversight section, in the same way as an admin request.
  • Translation administrator: please read Meta:Translation administrator and Meta:Translate extension. No fixed time limit for these requests is defined.

Snowolf

Hello, I'm an administrator on the English Wikipedia and one of the recently elected Stewards. As a great deal of the Steward's work is done on meta, I've been fairly active here and I feel I could put a local sysop flag here on meta to good use, mainly to deal with local vandalism which has been on the raise recently and crosswiki vandals dropping by on meta after global blocks without having to poke an admin for a block or a deletion :) Snowolf How can I help? 01:16, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

    {{oppose}} No need for the tools as Ajr mentioned above. Sorry but the 'autosysopsteward' does not work for me. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 16:02, 7 March 2012 (UTC) Struck this. While I'm still thinking that autosysopsteward does not work for me, it's certainly not his fault but ours [Meta community] to keep so outdated and unclear policies regarding Meta-Steward actions. I'm trying to remedy this now to avoid further conflicts. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 22:49, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
