Meta:Requests for adminship

Shortcut:
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. 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. I have been active on Meta for a while, and adminship would be useful. I intend to use it primarily for editing abuse filters and other day-to-day local work (RfDs, speedies, edit requests, etc.), as well as handling vandals. I would like to help maintaining gadgets as well, and thus I'm also requesting interface adminship. I have read WM:A/WM:IA and have 2FA enabled.

The bulk of my contributions here are reverts and requests. Occasionally I improve templates and modules. Most of my edits and requests have been non-controversial, though several are not (a few off the top of my head: 1, 2, 3). I try to not to repeat the same mistakes.

I failed two RfAs, both in 2022: the first one for inexperience and edit warring concerns, and the second for inappropriate behaviour. I no longer edit war and will never do so again. As for the joke, it was admittedly in bad taste, for which I apologize. I still am not an admin on any wiki, however.

Thanks for your consideration. Please feel free to ask any questions. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 22:57, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is effectively a co-nomination between me and NDKDD. After exchanging a few conversations with them off-wiki, I can safely say that they are trusted enough to maintain this project (in handling vandals/LTAs, deleting off-topic pages and the like), they are an abuse filter editor on the Vietnamese Wikipedia (which shows they are familiar with the AbuseFilter extension), and I have implemented several abuse filter and page protection requests from them, via RFH. Therefore, I   endorse this nomination. Codename Noreste (discuss • contribs) 23:08, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
