The 2026 steward elections have not started yet. Voting will start at 06 February 2026, 14:00 (UTC). |
The 2026-27 Steward Confirmations are an opportunity for the Wikimedia community to comment on the performance of existing stewards. To make the process as smooth as possible, the confirmations are organized as follows.
To comment, please log in with an account that has edits (on any wiki) before 06 February. During the 2026 Elections, please mention if you are comfortable or unhappy with the use of steward tools of any of the people listed below and why.
After the election, stewards (including the newly-elected ones) are invited to review the confirmation comments and to give their impression of the outcome (consensus to confirm/remove etc.) on Talk:Stewards/Confirm/2026 for every steward who stood for confirmation. Of course, they are not required to do this for every candidate and will be especially careful to do it regarding someone about whom they expressed strong opinions in the confirmation. Non-steward comments are welcome outside of the "Final Decision" section, subject to the usual expectations of civility. Confirmation discussions will last one week after the appointment of the newly elected stewards. This may be extended to two weeks for one or more confirmations at the discretion of the Election Committee if the committee believes further input is required before concluding. The Election Committee will close these discussions and implement the outcome (which also means making a decision in non-obvious cases).
All stewards elected before February 2026 will undergo this process.

- Personal info: Personal info: Hello! I was elected as a steward in 2022, this is my fourth confirmation. I have remained active over the last year, continuing to work on responses to active abuse, including account security issues. I am also an active and regular participant in the monthly steward meetings, the mailing lists, and other discussion spaces, and have been helping to coordinate major changes and work with the Wikimedia Foundation and the English Wikipedia functionaries. I expect to maintain a similar level of activity next year. With the community's support, I would be glad to continue to serve as a steward.

- Personal info: Hello! This will be my second steward confirmation. My activity wasn’t as high as in 2024, but I did what I could and I chose to instead focus on the work I thought was most useful, while still remaining available on- and off-wiki (albeit with some slower response times). I was admitted to hospital in mid-April after some personal stuff, after which I chose to lower my activity as I decided it was the best approach both for myself and for the community, and as I wanted to spend some time in calmness for my own good.
I do not intend to return to “superactivity” as I had in the past. Partly for my personal best, but also because the more time I’ve taken off and thought about last year’s confirmation, the more I have agreed with what was raised back then. I have slowly been increasing my involvement on Wikimedia again, and have gotten back to doing regular work, on a level I feel comfortable with and intend to keep up. With that being said, I would be happy to continue for another year as long as the community wants it that way, and I’m available for answering any questions that may come up here.

- Personal info: Hello everyone! I was elected as a steward last year, and this is my first confirmation. Over the past year, I have tried to stay actively involved on steward request pages and have completed nearly 10,000 actions. I have also regularly responded to requests via IRC and Discord, and have responded on the VRT queues from time to time.
In addition, I have been helping with administrative tasks on smaller wikis and supporting anti-vandalism efforts where needed. I have also attended steward meetings and discussions, and have helped the WMF team by providing feedback on their new tools.
With the support of the community, I would be honored to continue serving as a steward, and I hope to maintain this level of activity over the coming year. —MdsShakil (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2026 (UTC)

- Personal info: Hiya! This is my fourth confirmation as a steward, having been elected in 2022. I am concluding my third and final term as the stewards' observer on the Ombuds Commission, where I've provided a steward perspective to the commission on cases involving cross-wiki issue.
This year I've continued in my workflows from previous years: cross-wiki and anti-UPE investigations, some SRG, handling requests from Discord/IRC, participating in meetings with the WMF and other-wiki functionaries, and giving feedback on new tools. I've also worked to improve understanding of steward work (and how people become stewards, we need more!) at in-person events, having attended a few in the past year.
I am available on Discord, IRC (though I check this less than Discord), email, and via my talk page. I hope to continue to serve the community as a steward, and am available if you have questions. Vermont (🐿️—🏳️🌈) 21:46, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
