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
- Before requesting admin access, please check the policy for requesting adminship.
- 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 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. - 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.
- 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: The Central Notice administrator group grants 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.
Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors
If you are a Wikimedia Foundation staff member or contractor and need rights on Meta-Wiki to perform your duties, the request process is different. Please review the WMF staff userrights policy on Foundation-wiki and follow the procedure described there. If in doubt, please contact Trust and Safety by sending an email to ca@wikimedia.org.

Not ending before 17:45, 15 August 2026 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Icodense and I would like to apply for adminship here on Meta. I'm active on the Wikimedia projects since 2015, currently serving as a dewiki arbcom member and doing work on a global level as global rollbacker and global sysop, accordingly most of my edits on Meta are at GSR and SRG. Being able to maintain (global) abuse filters would be helpful as I currently manage several local filters for globally active LTAs, I could then make that more efficient and synchronize it with Meta. Otherwise, I'd occasionally help out at SBL and RfH, when necessary. Thanks for your consideration! --Icodense (talk) 17:45, 8 August 2026 (UTC) reply
- Support Support. No issues here. He would surely be a good asset to the team. -Barras talk 18:18, 8 August 2026 (UTC) reply
- I see quite a few SBL requests, but not that many RFH (5 times) or SD (5 times) requests. I'm not entirely sure this permission is necessary for you, but since you're already active as a GS, I think you'd handle the meta admin role without any issues, so I Support Support this. --
