Stewards

Stewards are users with complete access to the wiki interface on all Wikimedia wikis, including the ability to change any and all user rights and groups. They are tasked with technical implementation of community consensus, and dealing with emergencies (for example, cross-wiki vandalism). Stewards aim to make no decisions as stewards, but are empowered to act as a member of any permissions group on any project with no active member of that permissions group. For example: wikis without administrators may call upon stewards to fulfill that role; stewards will act as a bureaucrat as needed on wikis without bureaucrats.

To get emergency help or ask a question, join the IRC channel #wikimedia-stewards (web gateway); say !steward in this channel to notify stewards of an emergency. For regular request, see the list of request pages in the box at right. To contact a steward directly, use that steward's talk page.

Stewards generally do not perform actions on wikis where local users are available to perform them, except in emergency or crosswiki cases. This position was originally created to dissociate rights management from software development & systems administration.

Stewards are elected annually by the global Wikimedia community. Their total number is not limited. Elections are organized by existing stewards with input from the Wikimedia Foundation's Head of Reader Relations, and run for roughly three weeks. Successful candidates must have a support-to-oppose ratio of at least 80% more with at least 30 supporting editors.

Current stewards are also confirmed during the elections through an open call for community feedback and commentary, followed by discussion and consensus-building among the stewards. A team of stewards closes the elections and confirmation discussions. Further documentation may be found in the steward policies, election process, and handbook.
