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.

  • 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.


Use the box below, replacing Username with your username:

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.

@AnRo0002: Thank you for the nomination. That surprised me and I had to sleep for a night and think about it. I feel honored for the appreciation associated with the nomination. I have been thinking about how I can contribute to the project improvement as an admin. My 10 years of work with over 800,000 contributions are spread over various projects (German wiki, English wiki, Wikidata, in recent years more and more in Wikimedia commons). So how can I contribute?
- Link: I think I can contribute something useful to the project link (wikidata, commons, different language wikipedias).
- New Files: I can help to find out and solve problems with bot-managed gallery-lists (~ OgreBot/gallery) for new files so that the bot can handle a work order again after a problem.
- Templates: With thousands of edits i am experienced to Commons templates and can help to create new templates and help look for solutions in case of errors.
- Categories for discussion: In the case of Categories for discussion, I could occasionally write to the affected users in cases that have not been noticed for a long time and try to ensure a consensus.
- Deletion requests: After a check, I could help with the processing of proposed categories for deletion.
For me, basically an English-language Commons categorization is important, with less individual exceptions, if it makes sense, for important proper names in the respective language.
Thank you again for the nomination proposal and the associated appreciation and the trust placed in it. I would like to accept the nomination.

  • The deletion claim above is false; it has been moved to the 2023 discussion archive after one month and one day (13 July 2023 --> archivated 14 august 2023).
  • It is true that you have already threatened me several times and have unfortunately left the factual level in a factual discussion with personal attacks instead of factual arguments. Here again with calling me "hyperactive". Thank you, I'm healthy.
  • As notice for the readers of what you criticize and others find good to understand: Frequently photographed objects. There I sorted hundreds of images by year and by topic and created navigation templates. There was several positive feedbacks for this. You don't like this. I accept that. You are welcome to use Commons:Categories for discussion. But please refrain from personal attacks if others don't share your opinion.
Greets -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 16:55, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a honest reply. You removed that thread 10 hours after I reminded you of your mistakes that were still obvious one month after I had first notified you. You added some filibustering and then quickly removed the thread from your talk page to hide your shame. That's an unworthy behaviour for any participant of a collaborative project, let alone an administrator. Your sorting by topic was incomplete at best. Once again, your main concern seems to be yourself. "Hyperactive" is not a personal attack, but a different take on your own arguments that emphasize your huge edit count as if it was a proof of your infallibility. I didn't "threaten" you. Stop twisting words. I was trying to discuss a topic, something that seems too hard to handle for you. --Sitacuisses (talk) 20:14, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I skimmed thru that thread and took a look at the cat tree.
so instead of leaving the 470 files https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=deepcategory%3A%22Land_vehicles_in_Main-Tauber-Kreis_by_year_of_photographing%22&ns6=1 in 1 cat (which will span only 3 pages), they are now in 100 cats https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?search=deepcategory%3A%22Land_vehicles_in_Main-Tauber-Kreis_by_year_of_photographing%22&ns14=1 . RoyZuo (talk) 19:16, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're missing some points. First, "Land vehicles" by District ("Main-Tauber-Kreis") by "year of photographing" is already a violation of the simplicity principle, and it's a rather useless category. It doesn't create any relevance. So, if it's useless, it doesn't matter how many files there are. What does matter is to create more useful categories. Second, Category:Tractors in Baden-Württemberg by year of photographing was just a random example. The reason why I started that thread was Triplec85's creation of Category:Feldberg (Black Forest) by year, which he filled by emptying Category:Feldberg (Black Forest) (which is about a mountain) without observing the topical categories and without bearing in mind that the same area is covered by the eponymous municipality Category:Feldberg (Schwarzwald), where there is a another topical category tree to be created and filled. That's a task for someone who has lots of local expertise. But then Triplec85 comes along to add a few hundred edits to his edit count, and most of those files won't be found again. --Sitacuisses (talk) 20:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Please comment in English. If you can't do so that's not a problem but then please use a machine translator. On the one hand, much of what Triplec does is good or at least harmless, but usually does not require an admin flag. On the other hand, unfortunately I have to agree with Sitacuisses.

  •  Support It was probably unavoidable that the category discussion would pop up here. But we should not reduce this nomination discussion to a quarrel about Triplec85’s category activities, that would be an dead end. I would rather propose that we continue the categories stuff elsewhere, let’s here concentrate on the question whether Triplec85 is a good admin candidate or not. This depends on many other points; just to mention a few, we should discuss (1) whether the candidate has a solid command of English and, in the best case, other common languages as well, (2) whether the candidate has the necessary familiarity with Commons, with its technical aspects etc. and has shown this with a large number of useful edits, (3) whether the candidate shows the necessary care and diligence, (4) whether the candidate has got manners and seems to be mature and calm enough to participate in and decide on discussions in an objective way, (5) whether we trust the candidate in general not to abuse the admin tools for selfish motives or even for fraudulent intentions, (6) whether the candidate already does important maintenance work and could make good use of the admin tools to do that work even better and/or assures credibly that they will participate in the common regular maintenance work which can be done only by admins, … and so on, you can certainly add several more points. When I try to evaluate Triplec85’s candidacy on the basis of these criteria, I come to a positive conclusion; most of the questions can be answered with a clear yes. OK, we can once again use the categories problem as a argument against Triplec85; but on the other hand it proves Triplec85’s commitment, care and diligence, his technical knowledge etc.; and I am convinced that Triplec85, even if he sometimes overdoes it and creates overly convoluted categories, does not do so out of selfish or malicious motives, but always with the best of intentions – and that is by far the most important thing for me personally, the worst thing is always an admin who abuses his prerogatives, and I don’t see any danger of that with Triplec85. So the only point I am still not sure about is (6), namely the question whether Triplec85 needs the admin flag for his maintenance work. But in his motivation at the top of this discussion Triplec85 has indeed mentioned some points for which the admin flag would be useful. And if I may add a personal wish and suggestion: Maybe you, Triplec85, could see the adminship as an opportunity to reduce your categories work a little bit (namely to avoid the creation of the most disputed sub-sub-sub-categories with almost no entries) and to help instead with the indispensable fundamental maintenance work which can be done only by admins and for which we always need more helping hands. – Aristeas (talk) 11:13, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose. "Blurb" - sorry, but no. The nomination shows a great disrespect to the Community. If you don't want to nominate the candidate - let it be!

  • Looking over your contributions to DRs a few years ago, it seems like your knowledge of German FOP was a bit lacking. Have you taken steps to learn about FoP over the last few years? Abzeronow (talk) 20:10, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for asking. Yes, I had created a lot of pictures about churches and church interiors. Some of them contained works of art where the author had not yet died 70 years ago. I didn't know that at the time I took the picture. I would also no longer photograph posters in public spaces individually. I've been paying more attention to it ever since.

Will you rectify all these problematic category titles you created before 2022-04-06? By moving all these categories you edited to the proper structure according to Commons:Categories for discussion/2018/02/Category:Panoramics?--RoyZuo (talk) 18:29, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@RoyZuo: Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I will adjust the corresponding categories still in 2024 to the structure established by this discussion you linked above. I started here. Greets -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 18:45, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was surprised to see #c-Sitacuisses-20241204160500-Votes because there exists user who shares the exact same opinion as mine. Still poor judgment after having created 120k cats https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/commons.wikimedia.org/Triplec85/14 , a lot of which happened in recent years https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/commons.wikimedia.org/Triplec85/14/noredirects/deleted .
But that's not as problematic as his self complacency which I've also noticed.
And incorrect understanding of the role of a sysop.--RoyZuo (talk) 12:11, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I edited a lot of time for the project over 10 years. Most of these deleted pages are leftovers from redirections. In other words, they are deletions that I have deliberately caused. If I move something to a correct name, the redirect is considered to have been created by me and is deleted. In other words, it is deliberate. I would have less deleted pages if i had not moved pages to correct names, but then they would be still wrong. -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 13:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If those deleted pages were redirects, then there should be move logs, since "This page does not exist. The deletion, protection, and move log for the page are provided below for reference." RoyZuo (talk) 13:31, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, you are wrong. The most deleted pages are deleted redirects after moving/renaming a page. For example:
If you exclude the hundreds of deleted redirects after moving/renaming a page to correct names and exclude the recreated ones, which were only empty and deleted for a short time for example, almost nothing remains. So a lot of hot air about nothing. -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 00:37, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Good you bring that up.
So all the "Category:Nature in Germany in yyyy" were massively created by you on 2022-11-12, then massively deleted 1 month later on 2022-12-14.
But on the same day 2022-11-12, you also massively created "Category:Nature of <german place> by year" https://xtools.wmcloud.org/pages/commons.wikimedia.org/Triplec85/14/noredirects/all///2022-11-12T14:09:00Z https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?sort=create_timestamp_asc&search=intitle%3A%22Nature+of%22+intitle%3A%22by+year%22&ns14=1 .
What's your thought process before creating hundreds of these pages like a robot? "Nature of <german place>" under "Nature in Germany"?
And I wonder how many files or pages were moved around because of those massive cat renames after just 1 month.
"a lot of hot air about nothing"???
If you think the aforementioned is not a problem, that's the problem.
Users should not treat commons as a playground / lab for their own satisfaction. Massive unnecessary cat renames leading to massive unnecessary file edits will flood users' watchlists, which annoys many users. RoyZuo (talk) 09:48, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, this user massively created the subcats of Category:Construction in Germany by decade and also edited subcats of Category:Rail construction in Germany by decade which have title formats at odds to each other. I bet sooner or later he might realise he wants to do some more massive renames and move all the contents. RoyZuo (talk) 10:04, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
NO. Not deleted, just moved because of wrong spelling. All Categories are "Nature of Country", not in. So it's not an unnecessary renaming. And an administrator made this renaming in the template. Not me. -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 10:16, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With 750,000 edits, the 120k created cats are not a bad thing, but a positive side effect. I've created Commons categories for...
  • Thousands of Wikipedia articles with images where no Commons category existed, and linked the articles and Commons to Wikidata.
  • For thousands of cultural heritage monuments.
  • For populated places.
  • Thousands of buildings in populated places
  • for categories with hundreds of unsorted images, which I have further sorted by country.
I usually do this every day since 10 years. This is diligence to improve the commons project. Greets -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 15:57, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ do you not understand the comment "Still poor judgment (of creating layers and layers of redundant categories, creating categories with unsuitable titles, etc.) after having created 120k cats..."?
After so many edits, users would have known probably every corner of commons, and should not be creating so much backlog for other users to clean up. To spell it out: creating 120k cats is not a problem; the problem is the lack of awareness even after having done so much.
Take a look at Category:Views of states for just an example out of so many of this user's edits. Layers of repetitive cats; bad names with "historic xx"... Or Commons:Categories for discussion/2024/02/Category:5 men with other people. So many of these problems of blindly following other users' bad titles and then propagate them to the entire cat tree. RoyZuo (talk) 17:09, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Categories like Category:Men in groups of people and are not from me. I also find it not useful. I agree with you.
Categories like Category:Historic views of Hamburg exist since 2013. I sign up in 2014. Hamburg is a state of Germany and i added just by state. When 2024 starts a deletion request to change that structure, you can not blame me for that structure (in 2024) starting 2013 before i sign up in 2014 (after years of existing since 2013). I would describe myself as capable of criticism and am open to feedback: I am for deletion too. ;-) -- Triple C 85 | User talk | 19:00, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
