Meta:Requests for adminship

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. Requests for bureaucrat, checkuser, oversight and bot, as well as removal of them (other than inactivity) 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 bottom. 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)

Hi,

last year, I made this request for limited adminship. It expired at the last Wikimedia France’s General Assembly. At this GA, I was reelected for three years. I will be a Wikimedia France board member for three years, until December 2027.

I request this limited adminship to operate only on Wikimedia France’s pages (mainly deleting pages) and to be able to create account for Wikimedia France’s staff (username ending with WMFr). I will not use my adminship to block any users.

Also, I have some experience as an admin, I am on the French Wiktionary and the Esperanto Wikisource with my contributor account (Lepticed7).

Cheers, Cédric Tarbouriech (talk) 16:28, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, per unanimous consent, granted LA until 31 Dec 2027. The limit is: use the limited adminship only for deletion, move and history merge, limited to pages related to Wikimedia France. --M/ (talk) 16:31, 22 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

25 support votes and at least a 70-80% support required

Hello, I am KonstantinaG07, and I would like to request OS access on meta.

I am currently a Steward, meta admin and Wikidata oversighter. As a steward, I often come accross material that needs to be suppressed cross-wiki, either from abuse logs, stewards-oversight queue or other means; part of these situations often include "copies" of the global abuse filter hits on meta - as these are logged both on the local wiki and meta - that also need to be suppressed. For one, I would like to be able to perform these suppressions myself. Secondly, I would like to assist with the meta oversight queue, although the requests are probably less frequent; having been a Wikidata oversighter - which is a multilingual wiki - and a steward, I think I have the necessary experience to be able to perform these too.

Thank you for the consideration. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 22:12, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for translation adminship

BAdegboye (EdWH)

Hello,

I am requesting translation administrator rights to support my work with the EduWiki Hub as a Communications Assistant. This access will enable me to prepare and mark pages for translation, move and update translated subpages when needed, and help keep multilingual content accurate and consistent across the EduWiki Newsletter and other related pages.

Having these rights will make it easier to maintain clear, up-to-date pages for the Wikipedia & Education community, ensuring that information is accessible to contributors in different languages. I will use these rights exclusively for pages related to the EduWiki Hub.

I am familiar with the translation administrator guidelines and the Translate extension and will follow the recommended best practices to avoid disrupting ongoing translations. BAdegboye (EdWH) (talk) 18:14, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your application! Please prepare a page for translation, e.g. Wikipedia & Education User Group/EduWiki Hub so we ensure you well know internationalization guidelines.
--Pols12 (talk) 16:56, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, @Pols12, for your response.
I have now prepared the page Wikipedia & Education User Group/EduWiki Hub for translation as requested. Please let me know if there are any adjustments or improvements I should make to align better with internationalization and translation guidelines. BAdegboye (EdWH) (talk) 22:08, 21 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
