Technical

Administrators are users with the technical ability on Wikimedia Commons to:

  • delete and undelete images and other uploaded files, and to view and restore deleted versions
  • delete and undelete pages, and to view and restore deleted revisions
  • protect and unprotect pages, and to edit admin-protected pages
  • block and unblock users, individual IP addresses and IP address ranges
  • edit less-restricted interface messages (see also Commons:Interface administrators)
  • rename files
  • add and remove user groups
  • configure Upload Wizard campaigns
  • delete and undelete specific log entries and revisions of pages
  • import pages from other wikis
  • merge the history of pages
  • modify abuse filters
  • not create redirects from source pages when moving pages
  • override the spoofing checks and title or username blacklist
  • send a message to multiple users at once (massmessage)
  • use higher limits in API queries

These are collectively known as the admin tools.

Community role

Administrators are experienced and trusted members of the Commons community who have taken on additional maintenance work and have been entrusted with the admin tools by public consensus/vote. Different admins have different areas of interest and expertise, but typical admin tasks include determining and closing deletion requests, deleting copyright violations, undeleting files where necessary, protecting Commons against vandalism, and working on templates and other protected pages. Of course, some of these tasks can be done by non-admins as well.

Administrators are expected to understand the goals of this project, and be prepared to work constructively with others towards those ends. Administrators should also understand and follow Commons' policies, and where appropriate, respect community consensus.

Apart from roles which require use of the admin tools, administrators have no special editorial authority by virtue of their position, and in discussions and public votes their contributions are treated in the same way as any ordinary editor. Some admins may become more influential, not due to their position as such, but from the personal trust they may have gained from the community.

Suggestions for administrators

Please read Commons:Guide to adminship.

Removal of administrator rights

Under the de-admin policy, administrator rights may be revoked due to inactivity or misuse of sysop tools. In a de-admin request, normal standards for determining consensus in an RfA do not apply. Instead, "majority consensus" should be used, whereby any consensus to demote of higher than 50% is sufficient to remove the admin.

Apply to become an administrator

All intending administrators must go through this process and submit themselves to RFA, including all ex-administrators who are seeking to return to their previous role.

First, go to Commons:Administrators/Howto and read the information there. Then come back here and make your request in the section below.

  • If someone else nominated you, please accept the nomination by stating "I accept" or something similar, and signing below the nomination itself. The subpage will still need to be transcluded by you or your nominator.

Voting

Any registered user may vote here although those who have few or no previous edits may not be fully counted. It is preferable you give reasons for both Support and Oppose votes as this will help the closing bureaucrat in their decision. Greater weight is given to an argument, with supporting evidence if needed, than to a simple vote.

Promotion normally requires at least 75% in favour, with a minimum of 8 support votes. Votes from unregistered users are not counted. However, the closing bureaucrat has discretion in judging community consensus, and the decision will not necessarily be based on the raw numbers. Bureaucrats may, at their discretion, extend the period of an RfA if they feel that it will be helpful in better determining community consensus.

 Neutral comments are not counted in the vote totals for the purposes of calculating pass/fail percentages. However, such comments are part of the discussion, may persuade others, and contribute to the closing bureaucrat's understanding of community consensus.

Purge the cache Use the edit link below to edit the transcluded page.

Requests for adminship

When complete, pages listed here should be archived to Commons:Administrators/Archive.

  • Please read Commons:Administrators before voting here. Any logged in user may vote although those who have few or no previous edits may not be fully counted.

Hello everyone, this is my second nomination. My first nomination failed in February 2023. I take any kind of criticism positively and learn from any mistakes that I make. I feel glad to say sorry if I make an error and try to rectify it. I believe that I have addressed the concerns that were raised in my previous nomination and have also tried to contribute in certain admin-related areas. Over the last few months, I have been occupied elsewhere and couldn't contribute very actively to projects, but I am at my pace now and would like to contribute in closing explicit deletion requests, cleaning up files that have not received permissions on time, and also on other related areas to VRT, most notably. I consider myself a learner, and look forward to learning more with time. I do not feel awkward in seeking advises from others in matters where I feel I'm in doubt. I have sought advises from AFBorchert and others in the past, and would continue to do so in the future. I am comfortable in Kashmiri, Urdu, Hindi, and know some bits of Arabic as well. I have 5519 edits on my main account, and around 137 edits on my mobile account AafiOnMobile. I look forward to your observations, and support. Best regards, ─ The Aafī (talk) 11:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I am a contributor for over ten years and I was an active administrator from 2019–20. If I were to hold the role again, I would continue closing DRs, handling copyvio and speedy requests, dealing with spammers, etc. I feel I have addressed my actions that led to my clouded resignation and later events on my previous requests already. If I missed something or you want a newer perspective, let me know. 1989 (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support Admittedly I've never dealt with 1989 that I'm aware of, but it seems like what they lost the privilege for in the first place was pretty biennial and the fact that other admins support this helps reassure me that the problems aren't chronic. So I don't see any reason why they shouldn't receive a second chance at being an administrator. I'm sure there will be increased scrutiny this time around and that they will lose the tools again if they do anything to justify it. --Adamant1 (talk) 12:43, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Oppose Thanks for offering to work on the backlog of DRs. This is much needed and I am open to second chances. However, I cannot fail to notice that there is barely any activity at Commons since the desysop with two exceptions, one significant peak in December 2021 short before the candidacy in January 2022 and now a small peak in November 2023. I expect more continuous activity from prospective admins to keep up with current developments. And I noticed in November a long series of similar DRs that should be handled as mass deletion request using VisualFileChange. Otherwise this puts unnecessary burden on the closing admins. --AFBorchert (talk) 22:44, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I don't do mass DRs on backlog review categories as it causes issues like this to happen. 1989 (talk) 23:26, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    It would be great if the subpage could be more easily changed in VFC. But it is still possible to avoid this problem by creating a temporary category, adding this category to the to be deleted files (can be done using VFC), and then executing VFC on that category. This way you will get a unique DR page name. --AFBorchert (talk) 00:09, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose I also think that second chances are good however I have concerns about actual activity as outlined by AFBorchert I'm afraid. Herby talk thyme 08:27, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Thanks for volunteering, but your very low activity since your desysop is not enough for me to support your candidacy. I'd like to see some sort of an endurable track record with laudable and friendly edits as a regular editor before an editor becomes an admin.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 10:22, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • Question Today you marked File:Jembatan teluk lais musi banyuasin.jpg for speedy deletion as a file containing derivative elements without evidence of permission. What aspects of the file do you see as derivative? From Hill To Shore (talk) 12:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The whole picture really. It looks like a screenshot, and the information provided by the uploader was quite vague. It was also unlikely this image was released under a CC 3.0 license, as there was no proof of that. If the image is in the Public Domain, they would need to provide verifiable information. Also, a speedy deletion would mean the file being removed ASAP. The tag I added gives the uploader seven or more days to resolve the concern regarding the image. 1989 (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Question Do you apologize for things like this [1]? And can we trust that things like this will not happen again? GPSLeo (talk) 14:46, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Yes. It was in the heat of the moment, but like Rubin16 said, I should have not reacted so quickly. There are moments like that where I wished I could have logged off. During that time, I found the threatening message repulsive as I don't think I've done anything so bad as to get reported to WMF. It also didn't help that earlier on, I had told them to leave me alone. I felt during that time maybe I needed something stronger to help them get the message. However, a simple "stay away from my talk page" would have been sufficient. I later realized from that point moving forward, especially after the ANU drama, that me and A.Savin should avoid each other at all costs. As for if it would happen again, very unlikely. It should be the first and last time I tell someone to fuck off. 1989 (talk) 16:24, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    @GPSLeo: Please note that a) there never was any personal apology for the f-word summary, and b) this edit is only one single example out of the long track of hatespeech by 1989 against me; including demand of my ban in the discussion linked above, and also the block of mine is part of that. It's been always a puzzle to me what have I done to deserve this. --A.Savin 23:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Question A major reason for your desysop was your blocking, on separate occasions, of two different admins. What precautions do you plan to take in the future before blocking well-established users? -- King of ♥ 17:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    If I feel there is a situation where an admin or a well-established user is doing misconduct, I will bring that to the attention of an appropriate discussion board like ANU. Anything like a compromised account or blatant admin abuse like deletion / blocking sprees, should be met with swift action to protect the community. 1989 (talk) 18:11, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Question Were you active in another Wikimedia project when you were not active on commons? I mean you have very few edits on commons mainspace and own user talk since 2020 and maybe it would be good to have a track record of some friendly talk page behavior. Your past RfAs are not showing the best of you and judging from them I tend to oppose.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    The only other place I edit is enwiki. I've gotten very little messages since 2020, which explains why there are a few edits on my talk page. Regarding the Commons namespace, most edits there were me closing a lot of deletion requests. 1989 (talk) 20:33, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm sure your cognizant of this already, but the deletion request back log really needs to be dealt with. So it would be great if you continued to mainly work on closing deletion requests if or when you get the privileges back. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure thing. 1989 (talk) 23:27, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Question In your last Rfa you said to me that I was "lucky", I quote: " (...) being lucky to keep their bit". 1/ I never felt lucky of that outcome as I already said, and I still don't feel "lucky", I would give a lot for a different ending of that story. 2/ to think that the result of a Rfa or a Rfda is the result of luck is somewhat insulting towards the community vote. Hence my very simple question: when you have writted the statement for this request, and when you answered to your colleagues above, are you sincere? or do you count on "luck"? The question is very simple and expect a very simple and short answer. Christian Ferrer (talk) 08:56, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
