Wikivoyage:User rights nominations

From Wikivoyage
(Redirected from User rights nominations)

If you believe a Wikivoyager – including yourself – should have administrative status or any other higher user right, then add that person's username to the nominations section below.

If nominated for permanent administrator, the Wikivoyager should meet the guidelines for becoming an administrator. Generally speaking, they should:

  • Have been a contributor for at least a few months
  • Have an extensive knowledge of our policies
  • Have a history of article contribution, janitorial work, cleaning up articles, contributing to policy discussions, and combating vandalism/spam
  • Have a demonstrated ability to work with the community

Nominations must include a short statement outlining the nominee's eligibility in terms of these requirements.

When responding to a nomination, most people choose to express their opinion with a bolded word or phrase, most often Support or Not yet, followed by an explanation of the opinion. After 14 days, a bureaucrat will close the discussion and, if there is a consensus that the nominee would make a good administrator, grant the administrator flag using Special:UserRights.

Bureaucrats and interface admins should also be nominated here.

Users running for interface administrator must also confirm that they have 2FA enabled before they are promoted as per WMF policy. If this is not done, the request will be closed as unsuccessful.

Temporary permissions

Most requests on this page will go for 14 days and all will have a nomination period of 14 days, with the exception of temporary permissions, which may be granted no earlier than 7 days after the nomination was made if there are no outstanding questions or objections. An objection or question raised on the sixth day would automatically keep the nomination open (without temporary permission) for the full 14 days unless the matter was resolved before then. The nomination would always be open for 14 days so in some cases editors could comment after they have seen a couple of days of use of the temporary permission.

Nominations

User:Wauteurz for temporary Interface Admin

Wauteurz is working on improvements to MediaWiki:vector-2022.css, to improve the appearance of the new Vector 2022 skin, but they can't actually change it without interface admin tools. Wauteurz (user contributions, User talk:Wauteurz) is a long-term trusted user on this site and User:SHB2000 previously suggested they be an Interface Admin in 2021. I doubt this will be a controversial nomination, and I certainly don't think it should be, but please give your opinion below. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:12, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
