This page is a list of administrators, as well as a place to request the granting and removal of admin status.

Admins have no special editorial rights. They can edit pages in the MediaWiki: namespace (system messages), block users, delete pages, and protect pages. Blocking, deletion, and protection are all governed by site policy.

  • Requesting adminship: You are probably qualified for adminship, provided that the following conditions are true:
  1. You've done at least a month's work on Wikinews.
  2. You are trusted by the community.
You can view some of the latest requests in the archive, where you can also see some common questions, comments and objections made during the process.
  • Requesting de-adminship: Stewards are the only users who can remove administrator privileges. They will not de-admin unless there is community consensus for this to happen.

We currently have 13 administrators on Wikinews who are listed below. Names of bureaucrats are listed in bold.

Inactive administrators: (No edits in the past 30 days)

Admin action required

See Wikinews:Admin action alerts. Please put all alerts there.

Requests for adminship

After seven days, a bureaucrat will turn those users into sysops who have consensus support from the community.

See /Archive for old requests. Don't forget to inform the Wikinews community of your RFA.

User:Markie

I'd like to nominate Mark for Adminship. He has been a great editor for the last three months, and I think he could be trusted with the tools -if he wishes to. You can consult his edit profile here: Interiot. Ever since his first edit, he has demonstrated random acts of kindness. Like his user page says, he doesn't write that much articles (examples are Snow causes disruption in UK and (started) Colts win Super Bowl XLI), but he corrects, moves and uploads with good edit summary usage and a minimal amount of swearing. He also seems to be a double redirect fixing freak with email enabled. So, what more could we ask for? --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 13:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nominee, do you accept?
  • Yes sorry i have and will be away for another 2 days (sorry need a rest sometimes) but will be back and raring to go soon. Thanks for this and all the nice comments and sorry for the late reply. Thanks and YES.--MarkTalk 10:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Votes

By the way, what happens if the user doesn't accept by the 6th?  Thunderhead  ►  08:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would assume we wait until he says yes or no. Bawolff 08:43, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to run away from his adminship...Maybe he's holding out for a motorcycle. Well the mansion is cool and all, but the car is a bit outdated. No one wants to drive arround in a car, when they can be cruising along in a motorcycle. Bawolff 23:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for de-adminship

Remember: For requests for de-adminship, "support" means "remove admin access," and "oppose" means "keep admin access."

Please note that only administrators who have misused the administrative privileges granted to them (as can be proved through concrete evidence) may be listed here.

Note that we currently have a Category:Admins open to recall.
