Meta:Requests for adminship/header: Difference between revisions

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

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, he or she is less likely to pass a request for adminship here at Meta-Wiki.

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.

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, 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 sender: please read about MassMessage, and provide a clear reason for requesting access. Specify a duration, or specifically request ongoing if needed.
• Uploaders
• Patrollers
• Global renamers: requests for this permission are handled at global permission requests to steward page.

• 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)
