How to request adminship on small wiki

[edit]

One day I wish to be the administrator of the Bambara Wikipedia. However, not many users are currently active, and I don't think there's a single admin. How do you request? I only just joined, so I wish to make more edits before requesting. Sumacedenw (talk) 08:58, 11 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

You still have to start a discussion, have the community support you. Then go to SRP with evidence of consensus to get stewards give that flag to you. Least Action (talk) 11:34, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Help with Accounts on Non-English Wikipedias

[edit]

Hi there, I'm mainly a user and editor on English Wikipedia but Ive accidentally made accounts on other language versions of Wikipedia whilst browsing on there. Whilst I have not used these accounts they have been misinterpreted as advertising (my name is a play on Malcolm Tucker and Tuck shop and has led to me being blocked and unable to access The Wikipedia Library. Is there anything I can do to help this? MalcolmTuckShop (talk) 20:17, 23 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

You can ask those projects to unblock you, using their processes; or you can ask TWL for a block exemption by contacting them at: wikipedialibrary@wikimedia.org. — xaosflux Talk 20:33, 23 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Though you only have 1 block, you should try to overcome that first. Ask on your own user talk there, and ping the admin that blocked you. — xaosflux Talk 20:35, 23 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
