 | The following page documents an official Meta-Wiki policy. This page has been developed and approved by the community and its compliance is mandatory for all users. It must not be modified without prior community approval. |
Administrators on Meta are users who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain special actions with local (protect and unprotect pages, delete and undelete pages, block and unblock users, and perform a variety of other tasks) and global (edit the title and spam blacklists, modify global abusefilters, send mass messages globally and more) effects.
- For a list of administrators on other Wikimedia projects, see Administrators of Wikimedia projects.
- For assistance from an admin, visit Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.
Policy for requesting adminship
To request administrator access on Meta, you need to:
- Demonstrate cross-wiki experience (e.g., be a participant of at least two months' duration on at least one project other than Meta and the "home" project).
- Have a user page on Meta.
- Have a valid contact address (either a confirmed email address in preferences, or a valid email address on the user page).
- Be an active contributor on Meta (this is a subjective, not objective, measure; there is no official edit-count).
- Preferably add {{#babel}} to your user page, given the multilingual nature of Meta.
Ill-considered nominations for adminship can be draining and deflating to both community and candidate. Any successful candidate will need to demonstrate sufficient experience within the Wikimedia community, in addition to a familiarity with Meta. If a candidate is not already a local administrator or holder of advanced permissions, or is currently blocked on a Wikimedia content project, they are less likely to pass a request for adminship at Meta.
The request is made at Requests for adminship, with at least one week allocated for the community to express opinions. The candidate will be named sysop here only if approved by at least 75% of participants. All active Meta-wiki editors may participate and give their opinion on the candidate. If your activity is outside Meta, but you have an opinion based on working with candidate in other Wikimedia projects, in support of or against the candidate, you are welcome to submit it.
If the candidate becomes a sysop, they should add their name to the Administrator list, and ensure they keep a valid user name page, links to at least one other project, and valid contact. Administrators not respecting these rules will be desysoped.

For current administrators: Template:AdminWelcome contains some handy links.
To become an administrator, make a request at Requests for adminship and meet the requirements listed there and above.
Regular administrators are allowed to subscribe to metawiki-admins, a private mailing list. Should you wish to subscribe, you'll find the instructions on the mailing list page.
Exceptions
It is helpful for some people to have access to protected pages on Meta (related to languages files). In such cases, two options are possible:
- Temporary unprotection of these pages, so that the user can quietly work on them for a limited time.
- Temporary sysoping of the user so they can edit the protected pages. In this case, the adminship shall be granted with no requirements and approval, but the user will promise to limit their activity to the necessity of their local project. Preferably, the admin status will be temporary.
Limited administrator status
Administrator status can be granted in a limited or restricted way. Limits can be set in time and/or in scope (for example, a user can be granted limited administrator status to perform technical work for an indefinite period of time, or to assist in a specific task for a set period of time, etc.). Unless requested and granted otherwise, limited adminship will have a duration of one month, after which rights will be removed. Limited administrators technically are given the same rights as regular administrators, but should avoid using their administrator tools for tasks they have not been authorized. Doing so could be grounds for immediate removal. Limited administrators can also be subject to a different activity requirement than regular administrators.
Policy for de-adminship
Inactivity
Any sysop inactive on Meta will be desysopped. "Inactivity" is normally defined as fewer than 10 logged actions in the past six months. Desysopping is formally undertaken at Meta:Administrators/Removal (inactivity). Users who are desysopped may reapply through the regular avenue.
The next formal administrator review takes place on: October 1, 2025 (update)
Removal criteria
- Users who have made fewer than ten edits in the six months immediately before the removal date (April 1 or October 1) are desysopped without notice.
- Users who have made more than ten edits but fewer than ten actions requiring admin privileges in the same period are given a week to indicate they would like to retain their access. Users in this category are to be notified on the first day, and adminship is removed without notice on the seventh day if there is no response.
Exception
Newly elected administrators are exempt from the first evaluation date following their election. The evaluation criteria apply only to users who were administrators for the full six-month evaluation period.
Requests for removal
Requests for removing the adminship (or other permissions) of a user can be made on Requests for adminship. The user making the request should explain why they propose the rights to be removed, detailing (possibly with diffs) any violation of policy and/or misuse of tools. Following the standard discussion period a bureaucrat may close the request, determining if there is a consensus for removal.
Emergency removal
In case of an emergency (e.g. a compromised account, intentional damages etc.), when a fast removal is advisable, contact any active steward based on the need.
Involved administrators
Administrators should avoid using their tools in situations where they may not be impartial. Those situations include using the tools in disputes in which they are involved parties. If the administrator is in doubt, the administrator is encouraged to ask for opinions, or to ask another administrator to take the case to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat.
