Meta:Requests for adminship

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 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.

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.

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 and demonstrate that you know and understand how to prepare pages for translation, 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 senders: please read about MassMessages, and provide a clear reason for requesting access. Specify whether you need it temporarily or permanently.
• Uploaders
• Patrollers

Requests for global renamer permissions are handled at global permission requests to stewards 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)

Hello there to everyone. I'm EggRoll, and I'd like to ask for the Meta community to grant me the privilege of joining the administrator corps. A little about me, I suppose, though talking about myself has never been my particular strong-suit. I'm an edit filter manager and transwiki importer on enwiki, as well as being part of the ACC team. I am not an administrator on a content project (the closest I came was a 66% on my homewiki). I hold global abuse filter helper permissions, as well as global abuse filter maintainer permissions. I'll come right out of the gate here, my edit-count is fairly sucky, and I'm definitely not a heavily active person. I try to help out where I can, so I'm not necessarily pinned into any particular area. I'd like to request adminship based off of my edit requests to some protected pages, including MediaWiki_talk:Globalblocking-modify-success, MediaWiki_talk:Abusefilter-edit-subtitle, Talk:Requests_for_logos#Protected_edit_request_on_8_August_2025, Talk:Wikipedia_Asian_Month_2017/Asian_Art#Protected_edit_request_on_6_August_2025, and some others. I also can point to a couple of CSDs, which of course wouldn't be in my contributions due to the pages being deleted, but are of course there. In addition, I offer my knowledge of the abuse filter where-ever it may be helpful, along with making changes to local and global filters. I suppose this makes me a bit of an all-rounder. If the question of "what made you request adminship" is on anyone's mind, just before this I noticed a page through recent changes that was obvious vandalism, and speedy delete tagged it. While it was deleted quite quickly, I would be able to delete the page myself if I was an administrator, and so I made my mind up to file a request, though I've been thinking about doing so for a few days now. --EggRoll97 (talk) 04:25, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support Fine. Yes you don't seem to be too active in terms of the number of edits, but I can see your work being helpful in areas such as abuse filters. Leaderboard (talk) 04:31, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Weak support Pretty low edit count, but okay! Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 04:32, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Strong support I understand that for some, this might seem a bit of an oddball request given that the candidate doesn't hold sysop on any project – however, in terms of trust, I consider AFM to be equally as much of a high-trust role and I trust their abilities to handle protect requests, abuse filters and anything else that they may pick up on the way. It also doesn't help that Eggroll's home project holds an unusually high standard for adminship either. //shb (t • c) 07:41, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support Happy to support. – DreamRimmer ■ 08:34, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support No concerns --Ameisenigel (talk) 12:19, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support Sure. --V0lkanic (talk) 12:21, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support No concern. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 15:40, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 19:53, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support - It's not about edit count, it's about trust and need for the tools. I see both here. -Barras talk 21:19, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
