==Current requests==

===[[User:TUF-KAT]]===
I am a long time en Wikipedian, and am an admin and bureaucrat on both en.wikipedia and en.wikibooks. I do some occasional stuff here at meta, such as updating the milestones at [[Wikimedia News]]. I fairly often check meta recent changes for vandalism, since it's not as active as the pedia and would like to be able to rollback and delete nonsense and such. [[User:TUF-KAT|TUF-KAT]] 22:22, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

''Comment''
#Would you like to provide us another link? :) [[User:Aphaia|Aphaia]] 04:31, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)
#*Here is my [[en:User:TUF-KAT|en account]] and [http://wikibooks.org/wiki/User:TUF-KAT my Wikibooks account].
#Abstain for now since TUF-KAT has less than 100 edits. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 06:15, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
#Supportive if necessary and if Tuf Kat is active enough on meta. I trust him to be okay. [[User:Anthere|Anthere]]

===[[User:Polyglot]]===
I would like to request sysop status on meta, because I would like to be able to add urls to the spam block list. The English Wiktionary is more and more under attack by spammers. (A few months ago this problem was almost non existant, now it's starting to become a major annoyance). I have been a sysop on en.wiktionary.org for about a year now and I have been a sysop on nl.wiktionary.org and es.wiktionary.org since their inception in May 2004. I am also bureaucrat on nl.wiktionary.org. I don't mind if it's not possible to grant me sysop rights here on meta (I'm not all that active over here), but then there should be a very quick system to add spamvertising urls to the black list. Would it help to add that Angela, Jimbo and GerardM know me personally? :-) We met (although briefly) in Rotterdam.
Many thanks for your consideration of my request, [[User:Polyglot|Polyglot]] 00:49, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

#Abstain for now since Polyglot has less than 100 edits. I think an alternative solution needs to be found for the spam blanklist. It should be editable by any admin, not only by Meta admins. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 06:15, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
#: Is it necessary that all four conditions are met? That seems a bit odd to me. Anyway, I'm not going to edit pages here on meta if there is no need to do so, just to get to the 100 pages watermark. I hope a good way to add spamvertising urls can be found quickly. I do appreciate/understand the fact that it doesn't make a lot of sense to make me a sysop over here just to be able to edit one locked page, though. Cheers, [[User:Polyglot|Polyglot]] 08:08, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
#::I could not really be convinced of the need for polyglot to be a sysop here since he does not edit this wiki. Additionnaly, I will add that I do not really see how Ang, Jimbo and GerardM knowing him briefly from Rotterdam makes a difference here. I'll add that I feel personnaly a bit hurt not to be mentionned among those he met, that does not help me feeling very supportive in this cas :) [[User:Anthere|Anthere]]

== Sysop confirmation ==

According to meta policy at [[Administrator on Meta]], sysops are to be confirmed on a yearly basis to retain their status. Quoting said page:

'''Poll after a year'''<br>
Sysop-hood is not a lifetime status. Get it if you need it. Keep it if people trust you. Quit it if you do not need it. Lose it if people feel they cannot trust you. Sysop status on meta will be granted for one year. After that time, people will be able to vote to oppose a sysop. If there is no opposition for the sysop to stay sysop, then they stay sysop. If opposition is voiced, then the sysop may lose sysopship if support falls below 75%. No quorum is required. It is not a vote to gain support status, but a poll to express disagreement with the current situation. The point is not to bug everyone to vote to support the sysop again (if there is no opposition, there is no point in voting your support again), the point is to not allow sysop-hood status to stay a life time status. If a sysop is not really strongly infringing rules, but is creating work for the community because of a lack of trust, then it is best that people have the possibility to express their opposition.

Users who became sysops before 2004 were to be confirmed in January of 2005. The current poll began 05:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC) and ends at 05:56 on 19 January.

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 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)
