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)

I need to translate this page because I work for Wikimedia Portugal and I'm in the Program Comittee team. --AnaC(WMPT) (talk) 08:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If all you need to do is translate, then this tool isn't for you. – Phương Linh (T · C · CA · L · B) 09:02, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

User:AnaC(WMPT): You created this request in April, but it has never been transcluded on the Requests page until now and so has received little attention. Do you still wish to request translation adminship? --MF-W 20:14, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not ending before 18:04, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting approval for a bot with translation admin rights. The bot will mark pages for translation only if the latest version is identical to the version already marked in the translation system, so only when there are no net changes in the pending edits. This task approval was previously requested by DannyS712 at Meta:Requests for bot status/DannyS712 bot but bot was never coded or deployed. Minorax suggested on my talk page that I should take it up with my bot, so I am doing so here.

As also suggested by Minorax, I plan to extend the task in the future to remove translation markup from pages that have not been added to the translation system and where the last edit is more than 180 days old. Markup includes <translate>...</translate>, <!--T:1--> & <tvar name=var>...</tvar>. The idea is that such pages likely don’t follow Meta’s internationalization guidelines and since they have been left untouched for a long time there isn’t much need to keep them prepared for translation. For this, the bot will only operate in the Main, Grants, and Event namespaces. If anyone wants to add a page back into the translation system, they can simply undo the bot’s edit. – DreamRimmer ■ 18:04, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@M7: The bot will need temporary translation admin rights for a few hours to run a trial, during which it will mark more than 85 pages, so is it possible for you to grant the TA rights? – DreamRimmer ■ 10:48, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DreamRimmer Yes, ping me when ready. --M/ (talk) 12:58, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@M7: It's ready. – DreamRimmer ■ 13:17, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Added for a week. — xaosflux ^Talk 13:25, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First run complete. Marked 89 pages for translation. – DreamRimmer ■ 13:50, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Logs seems good. Will it also be possible to mark subpages of Wiki Loves Living Heritage as well if and only if the only user that edited the page since the logged action to mark the page for translation is done by ListeriaBot? Pages such as Wiki Loves Living Heritage/Elements/2, etc. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 14:45, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I will implement it tomorrow. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:41, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Implemented. Marked 99 pages in the first run. – DreamRimmer ■ 17:11, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just to check, what's the frequency of the bot run? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 03:55, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It runs hourly during the trial, but I will adjust it to whichever schedule you prefer once it is approved. – DreamRimmer ■ 04:09, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say a daily run at 00:00 UTC will be good enough. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 08:07, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
