Commons:Administrators

Скорочення: COM:A • COM:ADMIN • COM:SYSOP

This page is considered an official guideline on Wikimedia Commons.

It illustrates standards or behaviors which most editors agree with in principle and generally follow. Feel free to update the page as needed, but please use the discussion page to propose major changes.

This page in a nutshell: Administrators on Wikimedia Commons are users with additional technical abilities to manage the site. They can delete and restore files and pages, protect pages, block users, rename files, and perform other administrative tasks. There are currently 180 administrators on Commons. To become an administrator, users can apply and go through a voting process.

This page explains the role of administrators (sometimes called admins or sysops) on Wikimedia Commons. Note that details of the role, and the way in which administrators are appointed, may differ from other sites.

If you want to request administrator help, please post at Administrators' noticeboard.

There are currently 180 administrators on Commons.

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.

After clicking the appropriate button and creating the subpage, copy the link to the subpage, e.g. "Commons:Administrators/Requests/Username", edit Commons:Administrators/Requests and paste it in at the top of the section, then put it in double curly brackets (e.g. {{Commons:Administrators/Requests/Username}}) to transclude it. Request a watchlist notice at MediaWiki talk:WatchlistNotice, or edit MediaWiki:WatchlistNotice to put up one if you are an administrator.

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.

Утримуюсь 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.

Hello I am Kadı. I am an administrator in Commons. Also, I serve as a VRT personnel and global renamer. Sometimes users request oversight actions from me. 3 days ago, I changed visibility of edits on a file because of the uploader's request and I forwarded it to the oversighters but there is no action. I request to be an oversighter, to handle this requests and suppress the edits. Kind regards, --Kadı Message 18:52, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]

За We have a need, and I trust the candidate. Concerns about future actions of governments is en:WP:Crystal. Hopefully my country doesn't chose the candidate that admires autocrats like Xi and Putin. Abzeronow (обговорення) 17:38, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
Проти Nothing against the candidate in person, but per below there appears to be no strong need, and creating a mountain out of a single example appears like an attitude to me. In general, especially Commons should have as few oversighters as possible as they perhaps not only address privacy issues like other wikis but also images with unlawful content. I would prefer to have this in few hands, and the most trusted ones. --Krd 17:49, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
Rather За. Having a 4th oversighter would be a benefit rather than a disadvantage. Yann (обговорення) 09:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
За There are only 3 oversighters currently, only 2 of which are regularly active on this wiki, and I recognize none of their names from my general course of editing. I would like to see a name I recognize added to this group, and Kadı fits perfectly for that criterion. I also trust this candidate to do the right things with the tools. Clay (обговорення) 10:03, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
За. It's good to hear that there isn't a backlog and it's just that oversighters place a lower priority where the material already has limited visibility but oversight requests are often time-sensitive so having an extra member of the team could be beneficial. If the WMF hasn't expressed concern with having oversighters from Turkey, I don't think it's for the community to disallow it. If we have a trusted and experienced admin offering to volunteer, I think we should take the offer. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:24, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]

Проти Odder, one of the three Oversighters, opposes. The existing Oversighters edit on a daily basis, so the one example given in the request above probably is not as simple as the requester says. The requester is not very active -- 49th on the recent actions list, with only 47 edits in the last 30 days, and 169th on the all time list. If we really need another Oversighter -- which is unproven -- I would like to see someone with considerably more experience here. . Jim . . .

There definitely is a need for another oversighter. I'm not sure if unwanted location data (which is still present in the metadata, file should be overwritten with changed EXIF to purge the unwanted data) merits oversighting rather than hiding it from non-sysops but maybe others can convince me that it's appropriate. Abzeronow (обговорення) 19:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
- And now the issue was dealt with. Abzeronow (обговорення) 17:32, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
Like in your last request, I think the community would like to hear how many requests for OS you made in the last 12 months, and how many of them lead to actual oversight. Feel free to add how long it took to have the OS requests processed. (The last 2 or 3 requests I made were processed within few hours, so I don't actually see any problem.) --Krd 07:46, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
@Krd, hello. Thanks for your question. Oversight actions are very important which includes users' privacy, and personal datas. I do not remember the number of my requests but 4 days ago I evaluated a request then forwarded to OS mails. 4 days passed, no answer. The request is so basic, it may take approximately 5 minutes. In addition, I do not indicate directly here the requested files for protecting the user's privacy.

All of us are volunteers here, I do not blame anyone. Commons is a very large project, for example in trwiki we have 4 oversighters, Commons is a very enormous project than trwiki definitely, but in Commons we have only 3. This is definitely not adequate for Commons. I am volunteering here to handle oversight requests faster. In my previous request, you can see this link A steward self assigned OS access to themself in order to handle and emergency action. Kind regards, Kadı Message 09:16, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
An emergency is no relevant example. Also, two Commons OS have edited today. Can we rule out that there is just some communication problem? Krd 13:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
@Krd, I disagree with you. It is a relevant example. Large wikis should use local OS' We are not a small wiki. Kadı Message 15:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
Even with more local OS, let it be 10, you will have situations where no one is present for an emergency situation. Volunteers are generally not required to meet emergency situation standard, so and emergency example IMHO is moot. Krd 17:42, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]

@Minorax, Odder, and Raymond: Can you comment if you received the request, and if there is any relevant backlog? --Krd 13:58, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
@Krd: I can confirm we did receive the request. There is no backlog, but we place lower priority on requests where content has already been revision deleted by an administrator as opposed to content that's visible on the wiki. I had limited access to e-mail throughout last week but I will action the request shortly. I do have to say that this whole discussion is striking me as quite strange where a user is requesting advanced permissions because one (one!) request they filed hasn't been answered to their satisfaction. As demonstrated in our activity statistics, we get a fairly steady number of requests every month and nearly all of them are answered a in a prompt manner as a few of our more active contributors can attest to. odder (talk) 16:20, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
@Odder, as I said before I do not blame anyone. I am a very active user among the Wikimedia projects. My aim is to help oversighters. Best wishes, Kadı Message 16:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
As someone who has sent a fair deal of oversight requests, I can confirm that 95% of the time, I get a 0-2 hr Response. I don't see any downsides with another oversighter. Normally the overnighters are very active, but I have had reports that took more than 24 hrs (IMHO the max time an oversight request can take), and another OS would be helpful, especially with @Kadı's timezone and editing patterns. As to @GPSLeo's concerns, WMF Legal will make the call as to if being in turkey is a problem, that's not our job. All the Best -- Chuck ^Talk 16:56, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
On my concerns: I just think we need to be more careful with such problems. For the other topic: For real emergencies there is the WMF T&S team and emergency cases do not have to be handled by volunteers. And it is always possible to contact a regular admin in parallel to perform a regular deletion before the suppression by an oversighter. GPSLeo (обговорення) 18:17, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
You live in country that blocked Wikipedia in the past and the situation regarding democracy did not become better since then. I have the fear that giving you access to such sensitive information you bring you and the project into danger as authorities could try to force you to give information to them.

@GPSLeo, In trwiki we have OS user group. All of the trwiki oversighters do not gave information to anyone. Your fear is irrelevant. Kadı Message 16:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
There were multiple of such cases in other countries where the WMF had to ban the users to protect them. GPSLeo (обговорення) 16:51, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
@GPSLeo, I am also in VRT. I guarantee that I would never do that. Kadı Message 16:57, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[відповісти]
