This page hosts requests for 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, 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.

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

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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, he or she is 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.


  • 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.


  • 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.



For these types of access, just ask on Meta request for help from a sysop or bureaucrat 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 ca(at)wikimedia(dot)org.(source)

im a volunteer in wikipedia since 2017, and i have many translations in meta-wikimedia, i am an web developer and i can edit the interface of meta wikimedia with HTML CSS JS... . --PediAki (talk) 03:53, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

  • Question Question: Interface administrators are users who edit Meta-Wiki's interface and user's technical interface pages here. In addition, with some technical features of Meta-Wiki, they can make some arrangements that related with all Wikimedia wikis. Generally you have done translations on Meta-Wiki and Commons. You have been blocked indefinitely for not contribute to build the encyclopedia on the English Wikipedia on your home wiki. This is a concern for trusted rights on Meta-Wiki if there are users' some indefinite blocking with serious reasons on home wikis. Do you have any edits that you know use about this right or any such right that you have previously accessed on any Wikimedia wikis that will address these concerns? --Uncitoyentalk 12:21, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    Oppose Oppose I'm against because I think that this right should be given to a reliable user. --Uncitoyentalk 10:21, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • No. I don't see that this is needed. Also, your block at enWP is not a good indicator either of why we would want to let you into the secure areas of the wiki. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Billinghurst (talk)
  • I don't see why this userright is needed; usually with IA a specific project or intention is needed rather than just a blanket editing the interface. And even if there was adequate need for the userright, you should sort out local blocks before requesting a right that has global effects. Vermont (talk) 15:28, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose per Billinghurst and Vermont. --Ameisenigel (talk) 10:16, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote oversat.svg Strong oppose - with active blocks on a content project, no community admin or IA support on any WMF project, and no special use case put forward for why this is needed on the meta-wiki I certainly oppose this. IA on m-w requires a high level of trust as it can have far-reaching security implications. — xaosflux Talk 14:28, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Just a passing thought, should we at least grant them autopatrol here, 7000 edits on meta seems enough for this right, but I can't understand the language of their translations. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:07, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
    • Don't see what that has to do with this severely premature iadmin request, they certainly could have gone to ask for that if they wanted it. — xaosflux Talk 13:22, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
      Yeah, that's just a passing thought. Seemed irrelevant here indeed, apologies. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:23, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote oversat.svg Strong oppose considering Meta is a wiki with global impact, (interface) admins are more powerful here than on other wikis. I cannot support anyone who has an active block in a content wiki. Even if there was no such block, there's no reasoning about why the requestor needs the right. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:31, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Symbol oppose vote oversat.svg Strong oppose I agree with Martin Urbanec in every way except for the blocked one, as some people get blocked for username issues simply like repeating characters. OP also hasn't given a valid reason, and looks like hat collecting to me. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 12:10, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Greetings, I want the permission so that I can delete the pages I create and in the end I do not have time to continue working with them, and also so that I can mark pages that seem important to me to translate. I've been translating a lot lately, and I'd love to get permission. Neriah • talk • 16:14, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

  • Oppose Oppose only translation administrators can't delete a page also being a regular admin is necessary, Good luck for future MdsShakil (talk) 13:45, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
    MdsShakil, Translation managers can only delete translation pages, which is what I need. Neriah • talk • 15:57, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
    Translation pages (pages in the "translations" namespace) can be deleted by regular administrators. To delete translatable pages (pages marked for translation), you need to be an administrator and a translation administrator. ~~~~
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)     16:01, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4, OK. Anyway, it will also help me to be able to mark important pages for translation. (Such as the weekly technology news.) Neriah • talk • 15:34, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment Procedural comment: @Neriah, you never transcluded your request at Meta:Requests for adminship; are you still considering your request open? ~~~~
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)     09:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Have you already prepared a page for translation? If so, please link it; else try to prepare some page. By the way, you write you would like to mark tech news for translation, but this is useless: a WMF staff member is dedicated to this task. --Pols12 (talk) 15:06, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
    Pols12, Although I did not write a page, but I want pages that seem important to me to mark - and also pages that have <translate> and </translate> to mark for translation. Neriah • talk • 15:29, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
    You might have misunderstood the request – please add translation markup (including <translate> tags and everything else) to a page not marked for translation yet so we can evaluate your familiarity with the tools. ~~~~
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)     18:45, 20 August 2021 (UTC)
    See Structured Data On Commons/Event. Neriah • talk • 18:21, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose Sorry, and thank you for volunteering, but from this request it seemed you are unfamiliar with how the right function. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:09, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose Oppose while thank you for volunteering for the service, you'd need to gain admin status first to delete pages. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 12:11, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'd like to apply for the translation administrator group. I'm a native speaker of the Serbo-Croatian language, and I mostly contribute to Serbian translations. This privilege would be useful to me, so I can manage translations for Serbian and other sh varieties (and other languages if necessary, on request), without having to ask someone else. Feel free to leave your comment. Thank you in advance. – Aca (talk) 04:24, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

@Ameisenigel: Thanks for the question! Yes, I've read the documentation. I believe I'm quite familiar with marking a page for translation and translation variables, so I'd be glad to help out with that! :) – Aca (talk) 15:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Great, Support Support. --Ameisenigel (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
@Aca, can you prepare a page for translation and link it here, so that we check you well understand translate markup, please? -- Pols12 (talk) 12:47, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
@Pols12: Of course! Please, look at my user sandbox. I've added the translate markup. Note: I didn't add unit markers since the recommendation is it should not be done manually. Can you check if everything is valid? – Aca (talk) 01:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
You could prepare a real page, but there is no problem, this is well done.
So, Support Support for me too. -- Pols12 (talk) 01:27, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
