Meta:Requests for adminship

This page hosts requests for administrator access on the Meta-Wiki; for requesting administrator access on any other wiki, please find the appropriate venue on the index of request and proposal pages. Bureaucrat, checkuser, oversight and bot requests are also made here. Before making a request here, please see the administrator policy.

Most requests should be listed here for at least seven days; bureaucrats should only close after the minimum time foreseen in the relevant policy. Discussions are not closed early. 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.

Participate:

Information

Note that this page is for access on Meta only. See the permission request to stewards page for adminship/deadminship requests on other projects.

Regular adminship

Before requesting admin access, please check the policy for requesting adminship.
Use the box below, insert your username:

Place a request on this page, by transcluding the subpage, for example {{Meta:Requests for adminship/Username}}. 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 note, past administrators who have given up their rights must meet all criteria at the time of the new request. There is no separate process for reinstating past administrators.

Please note: Ill-considered nominations for adminship can be draining and deflating to both the community and the candidate. Any successful candidate will need to be able to demonstrate sufficient experience within the Wikimedia community, in addition to a familiarity with Meta-Wiki. If a candidate is not already a local administrator or holder of advanced permissions on a Wikimedia content project, they are less likely to pass a request for adminship here at Meta-Wiki.

Bureaucratship

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

Only active administrators can become bureaucrats, and only after at least 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 bureaucrat page.

Other access

For these types of access, create a subpage just as you would for regular adminship and add it to the appropriate section of this page.

Interface adminship: Please read the Meta interface administrator page. The WMF requires two-factor authentication for this access.

Limited adminship: If you need sysop access for a particular reason (such as ability to edit protected pages), you may request limited adminship on Meta. If granted, the user understands that they will only be allowed to use the tools for the tasks they were approved, and not doing so will be grounds for immediate removal. Temporary sysop access will normally be valid for one month unless requested and granted otherwise.

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 page and Meta’s page about translate extension. No fixed time limit for these requests is defined, and there are no particular requirements; if you provide a valid reason and demonstrate that you know and understand how to prepare pages for translation, your request will most likely be granted.

CentralNotice administrator: Meta Central notice administrator page grant access to manage and edit banner campaigns. Because of the potentially huge impact of banners on the wikis, this should be granted carefully and sparingly. The WMF requires two-factor authentication for this access.

For these types of access, just ask on Meta request for help from a sysop or bureaucrat page:

MassMessage senders: please read about MassMessages, and provide a clear reason for requesting access. Specify whether you need it temporarily or permanently.
Uploaders
Patrollers

Requests for global renamer permissions are handled at global permission requests to stewards page.

WMF Office Staff and Contractors

If you are an WMF Official or Contractor and need rights on Meta-Wiki to perform your duties the process is different. Please have a look at the WMF staff userrights policy on Office wiki^{[restricted access]} and follow the procedure described there. If in doubt, please contact Trust and Safety; or send an email to cawikimediaorg.^(source)

Hello there! I would like to apply for sysop rights on meta. I am a sysop and ArbCom member on plwiki, global rollbacker and global renamer. I also fight xwiki vandalism and would like to do that here as well. So I'm going to look regularly into WM:RFH or CAT:DEL and support the sysops here in that, and gather more new experience myself. I just intend to use these rights. Let me know if you have any objections. AramilFeraxa (Write to me!) 11:39, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support - I was a bit split here. On one hand, there isn't much involvement in administrative stuff, speedy deletion taggings (and so on) here at Meta. Most of the candidate's involvement in Meta-Wiki have been on Steward requests pages and GSR, and that's typically the last place where local administrators operate. But, I do think Meta adminship can be given out quite liberally, and to be honest I almost think that it can be given on request to users who are active on Meta, trusted and sysop on a large wiki. The candidate meets these criteria, with admin experience as a sysop on plwiki (a large wiki) and a GR/GRN and I don't see a problem if they want to help out. So, in the end I'm going ahead and giving a weak support. EPIC (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
So it's not just about requesting global locks to stewards and deletions/blockings to the GSs and being an admin on a large-scale project, but I have a question to ask: do trusted users (who patrol this project) rarely become admins here without being an admin on any content wiki, but they hold at least one or more advanced permissions on the project they are active in (e.g. edit filter helper on the English Wikipedia or filter administrator [administrador de filtros] in the Spanish Wikipedia)?

Kind of, yes. We've had a few precedents before, but there's a note on the RfA page that "If a candidate is not already a local administrator or holder of advanced permissions on a Wikimedia content project, they are less likely to pass a request for adminship here at Meta-Wiki".

Hi. I’m currently the secretary of Wikimedia France and adminship limited to pages related to Wikimedia France would be useful to maintain the pages. I already have adminship experience as I am an admin of the French Wiktionary and the Esperanto Wikisource, with my contributor account (Lepticed7). I’m secretary until the next general assembly, in November 2024. I would like to have limited adminship until 30/11/2024. Thanks, --Cédric Tarbouriech (talk) 17:20, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support OK, seems like a valid use case given that Wikimedia France doesn't seem to have their own wiki, so think it makes sense for them to be able to maintain their pages here. EPIC (talk) 17:25, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
