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.


Use the box below, replacing Username with your username:

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.

After some encouraging comments from Yann and The Squirrel Conspiracy, and some reflection of my side I decided to apply for adminship. I roughly started collaborating in Commons 18 months ago after reporting some copyvios that I found while patrolling eswiki. While trying to upload old photos I was confused by URAA and other rules that lead me to the rabbit hole of learning copyright laws. I started more than 1.400 DRs and an uncountable number of SDs. I'm aware of the most important copyright issues like de minimis, freedom of panorama, URAA, etc, but I'm not an expert on specific legislation. I have a good grasp of Argentine law, Spanish law, German law with its weird rules on FoP, French law (WWII extensions, 50 years at URAA-time) and I can dig into US restorations, but I'm mostly clueless on Middle-East, African or Asian specific copyright laws. Thus, I will likely stick to tasks where I have confidence, e.g. closing FoP cases, and avoid controversial ones like scope-related DRs or user problems. The admin flag will also allow me to see deleted files while participating on undeletion requests. Günther Frager (talk) 21:37, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merhaba! Sayın Commons topluluğu; İşte, bugün, burada hizmetli olmak için başvuruyorum. Bu başvuruyu kendi dilimde yapmamın sebebi Commons'un çok dilli oluşudur. Madem öyle, bu bir ilk olsun. Önceki yüzlerce başvuru arasından bu ilk mi değil mi kontrol etmedim açıkçası.

Gelelim neden hizmetli olmam gerektiğine... Öncelikle, hiçbir vikide yeteri kadar hizmetli yoktur, olmayacak. Commons Wikimedia'da daha fazla hizmetli her zaman iyidir. Benim bu duruma özel olarak katkı vereceğim şey ise... Anadilimin Türkçe oluşudur. Sadece 1 tane anadili Türkçe olan var. Daha fazla dil, daha fazla kullanıcıya yardım etmek demektir bence. Ek olarak aktifim ve uzlaşmacıyım. Bu yer neredeyse benim ana-vikim oldu sayılır.

Gelelim ne yapabileceğime... Dosyaları silmek, kullanıcıları engellemek için hizmetli araçları elbette lazım. Ancak kesin emin olduğum durumlar için ivedi aksiyon alacağımı veya emin değilsem tereddüt edeceğimi düşünüyorum. Bir hata yapmaktansa hiçbir şey yapmamalıyız. Ben topluluğun kararına ise kesinlikle saygı duyacağımı belirtmeliyim. Ayrıca yıllar boyu, maddelerde kullanılan ve elde etmek için çok emek verdiğim yüzlerce kendi fotolarım var ve inşallah binlerce olacak. Yeni dosyalarda çok dolaşırım, bulduğum telif haklarını hızlı silinmeye veya SAS(Deletion request)'a koyarım. Kullanıcıları uyarırım, yol gösteririm. COM:AN/U ve köy çeşmesine(village pump) bakıyorum. Ayrıca 1 yıl önce ve geçen aylar içinde lisans inceleyici ve dosya taşıyıcı oldum. Bundan dolayı telif hakkı kurallarına aşinayım. Değişikliklerimi inceleyebilirsiniz. İletişim için e-postam açıktır.

Gelelim hatalarıma... Bu projede 2021'den beri aktifim ve giderek düzenli olarak aktifliğimi artırıyorum. Bazen stres, özel hayat neticelerinde ve bazen Türkçe Vikipedi'de yaşananlardan dolayı hatalarım var. Hatta bunlardan dolayı engel yiyecektim az kalsın. Diğer vikilerle burayı karşılaştırırsam burada engellenmememin sebebi, hele onca katkıdan sonra, dil engeli ve "kirli işlerle"(bundan kastım tartışmalı konular) uğraşmamamdır. Ayrıca her hatamdan sonra bir durakladım, diğer vikilerde bunu pek yapmam. O yüzden çok katkımın olduğu yerlerde ya engellenmişimdir ya da orada hiç katkım yoktur :D. Commons bunun için bir istisna.

Hizmetli olmak istememin bir amacı şudur, gelen eleştiriler ve destekler doğrultusunda Commons'taki işimi geliştirmek. En kötü ihtimalle hatalarımı derinlemesine göreceğim, en iyi ihtimalle de kendimi bu harika projeye adamak ve işleri halletmek için vazife alacağım. Buraya kendini adamışlar aha şu dereden bir yudum su içerler ve benim o dereye girip yüzmem gerekli.

Son olarak bu başvuruyu hiçbir yerde paylaşmayacağımı sizlere tebliğ ediyorum. Buraya gelenler sadece denk gelmişler olacak.

I will answer your questions in english. Thank you.
