Project:Administrators



Administrators (also known as sysops or admins) on about>Special:MyLanguage/Project:About|MediaWiki.org are users with the technical capability to protect and delete pages, block users, and edit protected pages, among other things.

To become an admin, ask at requests>Project:Requests|Project:Requests. Information on the promotion process can be found there.

A list of current admins is available sysop>Special:ListUsers/sysop|here, and bureaucrats bureaucrat>Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat|here. To request a deletion, see .

stewards>m:Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Stewards and global-sysops>m:Special:MyLanguage/global sysops|global sysops should feel free to deal with vandalism and similarly routine and uncontroversial things, if necessary (Note: These are global groups defined by the ext-CentralAuth>Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CentralAuth|CentralAuth extension and don't appear at Special:ListUsers, but at Special:GlobalUsers). If that requires administrator tools, [https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Project_talk:Administrators&oldid=208579 the community seems to agree] that there should be no problem with this if the task is not complex.
