Administrators

Current administrators

Administrators are given access for one year per the Restricted access policy. Regular votes are held to confirm each user's status. Other languages indicate the areas in which the administrators might be able to converse with outside project members, or help provide public domain translations.

Confirmation discussions

Restricted access depends on the continued support of the community. This may be tested by a vote of confidence, in which a simple majority (50%+1) must support the user's continued access for it to be retained. (What access a discussion concerns should be explicitly noted in the discussion's introduction.) Any user may propose a vote of confidence, but at least three established users must support the need for one before it can be called. Such a proposal is made automatically one year after the last scheduled or called proposal (concerning all restricted access).

In the case of an unscheduled (called) proposal, the user may not use the restricted access for any non-trivial action at any time until the vote is closed. A bureaucrat will eventually archive the discussion and, if so decided, request removal of restricted access by a steward.

Mahagaja

admin since September 2008 (see previous discussions), currently active (contributions · logs · count · crossactivity). Mahagaja will be reconfirmed automatically unless at least three established users oppose, which will trigger a vote of confidence with decision by simple majority.

Alien333

Alien333 (talk • contribs) • activity • Global

I'm nominating Alien333 to be considered for the role of Administrator. Over the period of time they have been with us as an editor, they have been steadily plugging a much felt gap in poetry by lesser known authors. At the same time their involvement in some of the more technical discussions on WS:S has been of value to the community in helping us to resolve them. They also have some Template: and Module: work under their belt—but in the service of their work in Page: and Mainspace. [As this is a 'crat nomination of an Admin, I will work with BD2412 on closing the nomination somewhere around 26 December.] Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:02, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I accept the nomination, and thank you for it. — Alien 3
