Wikivoyage:User rights nominations Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here

If you believe a Wikivoyager – including yourself – should have administrative status or any other higher user right, then add that person's username to the nominations section below.

If nominated for permanent administrator, the Wikivoyager should meet the guidelines for becoming an administrator. Generally speaking, they should:

  • Have been a contributor for at least a few months
  • Have an extensive knowledge of our policies
  • Have a history of article contribution, janitorial work, cleaning up articles, contributing to policy discussions, and combating vandalism/spam
  • Have a demonstrated ability to work with the community

Nominations must include a short statement outlining the nominee's eligibility in terms of these requirements.

When responding to a nomination, most people choose to express their opinion with a bolded word or phrase, most often Support or Not yet, followed by an explanation of the opinion. After 14 days, a bureaucrat will close the discussion and, if there is a consensus that the nominee would make a good administrator, grant the administrator flag using Special:UserRights.

Bureaucrats and interface admins should also be nominated here.

Users running for interface administrator must also confirm that they have 2FA enabled before they are promoted as per WMF policy. If this is not done, the request will be closed as unsuccessful.

Temporary permissions

Most requests on this page will go for 14 days and all will have a nomination period of 14 days, with the exception of temporary permissions, which may be granted no earlier than 7 days after the nomination was made if there are no outstanding questions or objections. An objection or question raised on the sixth day would automatically keep the nomination open (without temporary permission) for the full 14 days unless the matter was resolved before then. The nomination would always be open for 14 days so in some cases editors could comment after they have seen a couple of days of use of the temporary permission.

SHB2000 for checkuser

[edit]

SHB2000 is both an experienced bureaucrat on Wikivoyage and highly knowledgeable on technical issues behind the scenes. We've had increased instances of sockpuppetry on the website but we don't have the critical tool in-house to combat it: the checkuser tool, which enables its user to check accounts' IP addresses to see if they match. This role is solely to fight long-term abuse, per Wikivoyage:CheckUser.

For full transparency, we need two checkusers approved by 25 votes each to implement checkusers on Wikivoyage. I recognize that's a tall order, but we should at least try to reach that number given the assistance this tool would provide us in fighting constant vandalism and doppelgangers. I'm happy to vote for anyone else who puts themselves forward as a second checkuser candidate. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 00:31, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the nomination :). For the record, I accept the nomination and have signed the wmf:Policy:Wikimedia Foundation Access to Nonpublic Personal Data Policy. //shb (t | c | m) 00:45, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SelfieCity (checkuser)

[edit]

Similar to above, SC was also happy to be nominated for checkuser (see discussion on my talk page). As the global CU policy requires a minimum of two CUs, I'm hereby nominating SC to be the second.
