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 . 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 page for adminship/deadminship requests on other projects.
Regular adminship
- Before requesting admin access, please check the .
- Use the box below, insert your username:
- 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. - 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 .

I have extensively translated into the TAGALOG language the entirety of the Movement Charter drafts through their versions. I have also translated and will continue to translate other ongoing Meta-Wiki pages in support of the Movement Charter Ambassadors Program, Wikimania, and AffCom. I would like to request Translation adminship to prepare for translation other Meta-Wiki pages, from ESEAP and my own multi-lingual country — the Philippines. For your favorable accommodation. -- () 14:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
