Meta:Requests for adminship

WM:RFA
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.

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:

  3. 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.
  4. 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 they nominate themselves here.

If you fail any of these requirements, you will not be assigned the bureaucrat flag. For more information see the 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:

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 ca@wikimedia.org.(source)

Hello folks. While I'm an eliminator (which is also called "half-admin") of viwiki, I'm also do the patrolling work in Meta, too. So, I'd like to request for adminship, in order to deal with vandal, LTA, spambots and cleanup nonsense translation. With my vi-N, I think I can help, as currently there are no vi-N admin in Meta (In the past, we have Mxn, but they lost the tool due to inactivity). --⋆˚｡⋆୨✧୧˚ 𝙇𝙄𝙉𝙃 ˚୨✧୧⋆｡˚⋆🎀 𝑪𝑼𝑻𝑬 🎀 14:50, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Addition: I will also work in PageTranslation and protected edit requests, too. I have basic knowledge of template and PageTranslation syntax, as I’m a template editor, both in Vietnamese Wikipedia and Commons, and a translation administrator in Commons.

Requests for translation adminship

Anita Braga

As co-coordinator for Wiki Editoras Lx group, I'm an active organizer and I need to create pages on Meta for events that need translation. In specific, I'm part of GLAM Wiki 2025 COT, and I'll need to be able to support updates to the page. Thank you. --Anita Braga (talk) 18:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'd like to become a translation admin, as I'll be one of the main updaters of the GLAM Wiki 2025 page. I have also been updating the Wiki Editoras Lx page. Thank you :) --MariaCurista (talk) 15:50, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting translation adminship to help translate content between English and Persian. As an active member of the Iranian Wikimedians User Group, I need this access to keep our pages updated in both languages. Currently, asking other admins to mark pages for translation takes considerable time, and having this access would allow me to manage translations more efficiently. As requested, I created Event:Wikipedia Asian Month Introduction and marked for translation. --Darafsh (talk) 11:30, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I had an unsuccessful request already: Meta:Requests for translation adminship/Darafsh. Darafsh (talk) 11:33, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
