Wikiquote:Requests for adminship
This page is used for requesting administrator access on English Wikiquote, as well as other advanced permissions (bureaucrat, interface administrator, etc.).
If you want to request any of the permissions listed here, please use the box at any section below, filling out your username in the box and filling out the required areas in your request. Any user can comment on your request -- they might express reservations (because, for example, they suspect you will abuse your new-found powers, or if you've joined very recently), but hopefully they will approve and say lovely things about you. If this is not your first request, put the number 2 (or whatever number it might be) after your username in the box.
Once after completing and publishing your request, please add it to the respective section below. All nominations must be open for at least one week to provide the opportunity for comments and voting, before a bureaucrat will make the promotion if warranted.
Previous discussions can be found in the archives.
Requests for adminship
Current English Wikiquote policy is to grant administrator status to anyone who has been an active Wikiquote contributor for a while and is generally a known and trusted member of the community. Most users seem to agree that the more administrators there are the better.
Administrators should register a valid email address and allow other users to send them messages in preferences, or give an email address on their user page.
Note: Nominations have to be accepted by the user in question. If you nominate a user, please also leave a message on their talk page and inform them about their listing on this page, and ask them to reply here if they accept the nomination. You may nominate yourself (in which case you have automatically accepted the nomination).
Requests for bureaucratship
Bureaucrats are a small group of trusted administrators who have some additional responsibilities, such as promoting users to administrators and bureaucrats. Please note that only current administrators can apply for the bureaucrat flag. For more information, see Wikiquote:Bureaucrats.
Requests for checkuser
 | At this time, English Wikiquote currently doesn't have any local checkusers. Please file new CheckUser requests with the stewards at m:Steward requests/Checkuser. |
CheckUser is a tool that allows checkusers to determine the IP addresses used by a user account, as well as other technical data stored by the server about a user account or IP address. Please read the global CheckUser policy and add your request under this section, in the same way as an admin request.
Requests for interface adminship
Interface administrators are a small group of highly trusted administrators who can edit sitewide Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript (JS) pages (such as MediaWiki:Common.js), as well as other users' personal CSS and JS pages. The Wikimedia Foundation requires two-factor authentication (2FA) for this access.
