Criteria for getting various statuses
I will generally grant sysop status to you if you satisfy any one of the following conditions.


 * 1) You have commit access to the MediaWiki repository.  This should preferably be MediaWiki core, or some extension that's used on Wikimedia wikis, but other projects are fine if you're active or have been active in the past.
 * 2) I happen to personally know you fairly well, and trust you.
 * 3) You can demonstrate some clear use you could put the tools to that's lacking, such as translating site messages, and you can provide some evidence of being a respected contributor to some Wikimedia project for a lengthy period of time.  Being a sysop at a major Wikimedia wiki should be enough.  Being the only sysop at kshwikt or something, probably not, since that will go to anyone who volunteers to get the project going.  Likewise Wikia or other non-Wikimedia projects, testwiki, etc.  Saying you'll block vandals or delete random pages isn't very helpful, since there aren't exactly very many vandals and there are tons of sysops you could get hold of at any time on IRC.

I will generally grant bureaucrat status to you if you have commit access and have made substantial technical contributions to the MediaWiki software proper, or extensions used on Wikimedia.

I will grant transwiki status to anyone who promises to do some import work, and bot status to anyone whose bot's purpose I view as sane. These don't do so much and I can revoke them, so I don't have to be as cautious.

If you think you satisfy any of the above conditions, please leave a message on Project:Requests. (Of course, another bureaucrat may get there first, in which case my criteria are irrelevant.) If you're telling me that you're someone I know or have some credentials somewhere, be sure to give evidence (e.g., an edit by a known good account on the other wiki saying confirming your identity on mediawiki.org; or if I know you on IRC, tell me on IRC; etc.).

Importing pages from Meta
Please mark the local meta pages with  when you import them here, instead of putting redirects.  Cbrown1023  talk  02:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Bureaucrat
You have been promoted to a bureaucrat on this wiki. I encourage sysopping users who show a bit of sanity and desire to help out, while maintaining your good supply of Clue. robchurch | talk 13:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

User name change
Could you please change my user name to Erwin. This user already exists but has no edits. Erwin is my user name on meta and my home wiki, nlwiki. I've put up a matrix on m:User:Erwin/Matrix. Thanks. --Erwin85 22:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Kylu and I have just set up Project:Requests to handle requests like this. I've copied your request there. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 01:06, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. --Erwin 08:19, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

One thing
Hello Simetrical:

I request adminship here, because we have no one portuguese speakers sysops, and there's no one portuguese speaker active on this wiki. I'm a sysop and bureaucrat on Wikia. Currently, I have been doing some translations and updated informations about pt pages. When I see, I combat vandalisms, and I want to help portuguese speakers in MediaWiki.org, with the documentation about portuguese here; Feel free to ask anything you want to know in my e-mail, and I hope you consider my request :) Thanks. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko 21:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As I say at the top of this page, please use Project:Requests. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 21:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
