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 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.

Nominations

This editor has been clearing up syntax errors (collectively called Lint) on Wikivoyage this past month. They've cleared about 75% of this site's 30k total errors so far. There is a small set of pages (128; mostly talk pages/user pages) that have full page protection that they won't be able to clean without admin powers. I propose a 3-month-long temporary adminship to enable them to complete this work for the benefit of Wikivoyage. Ground Zero (talk) 11:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
