- Test-administrators (11 users)
- Administrators (13 users)
- Bureaucrats (9 users)

- Bots (10 users)
See Special:ListGroupRights for the full list of user groups with their user rights.
[edit] Test-administrators
A test administrator is an active contributor to a test here on Incubator who was given rights to take care of that test. A test administrator can
- delete and undelete pages
- view deleted history of pages
- block users (also with blocking the use of Special:Emailuser)
- perform rollback
However, they may only use their tools on pages/users in their own test. Note that this is not maintained by the computer system, but by other users (mostly admins and bureaucrats). If you do something outside your test, be prepared to defend your actions or you may be desysopped.
Test administrators will be desysopped after a year or after a domain request for their language is completed. See Incubator:Test-administrators for a list of this.
Requesting test-adminship
- Place your request, including the name of the test(s) in which you work, below at #Current requests for test adminship.
- Policy
- There can be several test-admins for one test, and inversely, you can be a test-admin for more than one test
- You must have a user page on the Incubator and be a contributor to this wiki
- Your test must have more than 50 content pages/articles
- Requests for multiple tests must include at least one test with 50 articles or more
- You are not completely new to Wikimedia projects and you understand and agree with the goals of the Incubator project
- You agree to follow relevant policies as those are developed here
- Other users
- Users are given 5 days to place comments. After this period, requests will be reviewed by a bureaucrat and if there is no reasonable opposition, you will be made into a test-admin.
- Requests for test-adminship are not votes. They are opportunities for other users to raise possible problems. If you get no comment at all under your name, that doesn't mean you are a bad user; it means no one has any objections to you being a test admin.
- If you are a contributor to the same test as the test of the user who asks for administrator's rights at the test please add {{testpart}} add your vote, so the bureaucrats can see that your opinion is more relevant to the request than someone else's.
[edit] Administrators
Administrator access is granted to known and trusted members of the community who are familiar with the policies of Wikimedia's Incubator wiki. Adminship status on Wikimedia Incubator is not an honour for outstanding content contributors but just an additional tool for people that showed that they want to clean up. Administrator access is also not meant to imply editorial authority on the project. An administrator is simply a trusted user who can:
- protect and unprotect pages
- delete and undelete pages
- block and unblock users
- edit the interface and other protected pages
- more ...
You can request adminship on the Incubator if you meet the following criteria:
- You are not completely new to Wikimedia projects and you understand and agree with the goals of the Incubator project.
- You have a user page on the Incubator and are a contributor to this wiki.
- You agree to follow relevant policies as those are developed here and respect consensus of the users of this site.
As with the admin policy on Meta and Commons, inactive administrators may have their access removed. According to this policy, any sysop inactive on Incubator will be desysoped. "Inactive" means no edits in the past six months. Inactive administrators may re-apply in the regular way.
Admins are expected to watch the Administrators' noticeboard for notices put up by other users.
When requesting adminship, after seven days, a bureaucrat will make a decision based on the votes and comments to grant, not to grant, or to extend the time for discussion if there is still need for it.
[edit] Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats are administrators who can assign user rights of requests on this page.
There are no requests for bureaucratship; any administrator may optionally ask to become a bureaucrat after one month (providing they have behaved well).
[edit] Importer
When requesting importer access, after three days, a bureaucrat will make a decision based on the votes and comments to grant, not to grant, or to extend the time for discussion if there is still need for it.
When you are already an administrator and/or bureaucrat, you are free to request import access at Meta, provided that you add a note here.
[edit] Bots
The edits of an account with bot status will be hidden from the recent changes.
To request a bot status, please list you and your bot's name below along with a description of what your bot will be used for. A bureaucrat will decide if a bot is safe and needed though any user may make a comment about it.
[edit] Requests for permissions
Below are the current requests for permissions.
Please always first read the policy written above before making a request.
