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

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.

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.

Hello! I have been a Commons contributor since 2020 (with breaks), and have since been engaged in various activities on here, such as identifying copyright violations & insufficient file information, patrolling new uploads, create & contribute to deletion requests , categorizing images , help with batch uploads , import files from enwiki , convert raster images to vector images, doing licence reviews & generally working on many of the backlogs.

Now, seeing the ever-growing backlogs at COM:DR and COM:CFD, I would like to help out with those as well. ~TheImaCow (talk) 10:14, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

Comments

  • Q: What are you views on what constitutes 'realistic educational' use? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 18:37, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
    For the "educational" part, we have a good description at COM:EDUSE: The material in question can "provide knowledge". It's very broad. The "realistic use" part is the trickier one, and it very often depends case-by case. I interpret it as the material in question not just theoretically being able to provide knowledge, but there also being actual, practical scenarios, where it would make sense to use the material in question to provide knowledge. A good indicator is I think: "Is there a page on any Wikimedia project where the file in question could be used?" (only an indicator, of course not limited to that)
    As example; compare a generic low quality image of a common animal (with no interesting qualities), where we also have a lot of high-quality images of vs. a low quality image of a very rare animal, where we have (almost) no other images of. In the first case, while the low quality image would theoretically provide knowledge about the animal, as in illustrating it, using it as such would not be realistic - as there is no reason to choose a low quality image over a high quality one. In the second case of course, if an illustration of the animal is wanted, the image basically has to be used because there is no alternative - the low quality image is realistically useful then. ~TheImaCow (talk) 21:00, 9 June 2026 (UTC)
