User rights

[edit]
The following collapsed information applies to stewards and system administrators only.
System administrators

Unrestricted technical access to add and remove user rights. Follow the guidance below for Stewards. If someone is a new system administrator, have them email an SSH public key to you, upload the key to the server, create a Linux account on the server with sudo access for them (use sudo adduser username and sudo usermod -aG sudo username), and attach the key to the account. You may first grant the user group before doing so.

Stewards

Access to add and remove the following user groups: Abuse filter administrators, Users blocked from the abuse filter, Checkusers, Interface administrators, Stewards, and Suppressors.
After making changes, please ensure to update any relevant lists or records as needed.
Do not grant suppressor or CheckUser to anybody but yourself. Only grant AFA to users who have met the established criteria for the respective groups. Only make someone a steward after judging that they have consensus to be appointed.

Bureaucrats

Add or remove the bot, election administrator, interwiki administrator, administrator and bureaucrat permissions.

Appointing new administrators

To add a new administrator, type the username (without the User: namespace prefix) and select the appropriate rights.

See also the user rights log.

It's recommended to include a link to the user's request in the comment field (like this: [[Test Wiki:Request for permissions#newlyMintedAdmin]]).

You should then mark the candidacy ([[TW:Request for permissions#newlyMintedAdmin]]) as successful by adding {{administrator granted}} and additional comments.

Remember to advise new sysops to translate MediaWiki on translatewiki.net and translate pages on Test Wiki if they are fluent in a language other than English.

Administrators

Add or remove autopatrolled users, users blocked from chat, chat moderators, confirmed users, patrollers and translation administrators.
