Making new local administrators |
---|
Type the name of the user in the box (without the User: namespace prefix) and click the button to make the user an administrator. See also the user rights log. It is suggested that you include a link to the user's request in the comment field (like this: [[Meta:Requests for adminship/newlyMintedAdmin]]). After you make someone a sysop, please update (or ask the new admin to update) the Template:List of administrators. You can notify the newly created sysop on their talk page, and give them some good advice too, by doing this: {{subst:Template:AdminWelcome/en}} "personal remarks" ~~~~ You should then mark the candidacy ([[Meta:Requests for adminship/newlyMintedAdmin]]) as successful by adding You will see that some candidacies have special circumstances you may want to note (second try, failed, request for 'crat, reconfirmation by the community, etc.). |
- Local administrators
Add and remove the translation administrator and the flood flag from themselves. Preferable that flood flag is set to expire as it takes relative (e.g. 1h) and set times and dates; otherwise please remember to remove the flood flag when you are finished.
Add and remove IP block exemption, MassMessage senders, Event Organizers, autopatrollers and patrollers. Noting that patroller, MassMessage sender and event organizer require community requests at Meta:RfH.
