Hello, I'd like my admin rights back please. Nobody contacted me about the "deadminship" process despite the socking great notice about how to contact me on my user page, plus the "deadminship" thing doesn't even seem to be policy.

This is an official policy on English Wikinews. It has wide acceptance and is considered a standard for all users to follow. Changes to this page must reflect consensus. If in doubt, discuss first on the talk page. |
This page enables administrators and bureaucrats to handle permissions requests, including granting administrator, bureaucrat, reviewer, editor, checkuser and oversight permissions, and revoking them on this wiki. Please be aware that we can only alter permissions for this wiki. To change permissions for any other wiki, check your local policies, or go to Meta.
For urgent requests, please join our IRC channel at #wikinews-en, and type !admin@enwikinews.
Requests for adminship
- Requesting adminship: You are probably qualified for adminship, provided that the following conditions are true:
- You've done at least two month's work on Wikinews.
- You are trusted by the community.
- You can view some of the latest requests in the archive, where you can also see some common questions, comments and objections made during the process.
- Requesting de-adminship: Stewards are the only users who can remove administrator privileges. They will not de-admin unless there is community consensus for this to happen or at the request of the administrator in question.
After seven days, a bureaucrat will turn those users into sysops who have consensus support from the community. Do not list people as administrators who have not been granted the appropriate permissions by a bureaucrat!
See Wikinews:Requests for permissions/Archive for old requests. Don't forget to inform the Wikinews community of your RFA.

Requests for removal of access
Remember: For requests for de-adminship or removal of other access rights, "
Note that we currently have a Category:Admins open to recall.
Requests for reconfirmation
Any user in good standing may request a reconfirmation of an admin who has marked themselves open to recall here. Any administrator who would like a confirmation that he has the continued support of the community may also list themselves here. If you are requesting reconfirmation due to inactivity, click here.
Please use Support if you believe the listed administrator should retain their administrator privileges, or Oppose to vote for their removal.
Requests for bureaucratship
- Confirming your identity
These rights require users to confirm their identity, and be at least 18 years old. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office. All requests for CheckUser and Oversight must go through Meta, and should be made by a trusted administrator or bureaucrat.
Requests for bot status
