Requirements for administrators
edit
As of 3 August 2017, the following are minimum qualifications for users who wish to become administrators on the Outreach Wiki
. Note that the "administrator" flag is different from the "translation administrator" flag, and this change only affects the "administrator" flag.
10,000 global edits under all registered accounts
At least 1 year as a registered user under the account which the requester proposes to use for admin activity on Outreach
No more than 1 active block across all Wikimedia projects on all of the user's accounts
The account which the user proposes for administrator activity on Outreach already has administrator permissions on at least one other Wikimedia wiki, with
at least 3,000 edits on that wiki
at least 1 year as an administrator on that wiki
at least 300 logged admin actions on that wiki
no blocks (other than self-requested blocks) within the past 5 years on that wiki. (The account doesn't need to be 5 years old.)
Requests for permissions
edit
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the appropriate policy for your requested user right.
Instructions for making a request
Before requesting, make sure that:
You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the user right that you are asking
To make a request
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable.
=== [INSERT RIGHT HERE] rights request for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
|status = \
|user name = Username
}}
The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of
no less than 3 days
no exceptions are allowed
no matter how obvious the result may seem). This is
not
a vote, and all input is welcome. Bureaucrats will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in other project work will be most influential.

You don't meet the criteria above. Do you have a really compelling reason why we should give you these user rights?

i have already said the main reason. I translated some page from English to Bangla and Urdu. If you will give me this right then i can mark some page for translation. Thank you.

I don't mind you having the rights but these were decided by the community, so I can't overrule them unilaterally.

do you have experience preparing pages for translation, etc? If all you are doing is translating, you don't need the rights - of your 38 edits to this wiki, I count 10 related to this permission request and it doesn't look like you have been active much on this wiki in general --

Yes i have some experience in preparation pages for translation. Yes you are right that i have not much contribution in this wiki. I couldn't find some proper page for translate, so that this is not my fault. If the community give me this rights then i will be able to translate pages and support on the translation field more effectively. I think there will no problems to giving me this rights and i promise that i will not misuse it.Thank you --

User is clearly unfamiliar with the translation extension, marked
huge chunks
of markup for translation when it is still in a mess.

Hello, I would like to request translation admin rights to be able to mark pages from the backlog for translation (some pages on
Special:PageTranslation
are awaiting to be marked since October) and to be able to mark them for translation again after some maintenance (like adding Special:MyLanguage to links for a better localisation). I already have these rights on some other projects, so I know how to use the rights. Best regards, --

Hello. I am a translation administrator here on Outreach wiki since last year (see my request above). Because of that I am visiting this wiki nearly every day. Besides my acitivity related to translations I am monitoring the recent changes. Admin rights would be helpful for doing some maintenance work (delete translation units that are not translations, delete spam, etc). I have made more than 6,000 edits here and fulfill the criteria mentioned above:
10,000 global edits under all registered accounts: 1,845,289 global edits
At least 1 year as a registered user under the account which the requester proposes to use for admin activity on Outreach: 8 years globally / 3 years locally
No more than 1 active block across all Wikimedia projects on all of the user's accounts: No blocks
The account which the user proposes for administrator activity on Outreach already has administrator permissions on at least one other Wikimedia wiki, with
at least 3,000 edits on that wiki: 1,644,875 edits on Wikidata
at least 1 year as an administrator on that wiki: 1 year as an administrator on Wikidata
at least 300 logged admin actions on that wiki: 6,231 logged admin actions on Wikidata
no blocks (other than self-requested blocks) within the past 5 years on that wiki. (The account doesn't need to be 5 years old.): never been blocked

No objections or questions here. You can ping me in two weeks if there are no objections and I would do the assignment of rights.

Hi! I am requesting translation admin rights to mark pages for translation, as I plan to develop few multi-lingual pages. I have been a contributor here since a while and my only block on Wikimedia is in problematic Croatian Wikipedia. I have a lot of experience on other wikis. --
