Interwiki administrators/en

Interwiki administrators are users who can edit the interwiki table upon request, but not the global list which remains restricted to Meta administrators. Interwiki administrators can be global (able to edit any wikis) or local (only able to edit certain wikis).

Interwiki admins are required to check every link before they add it to Special:Interwiki, to make sure it is not malicious.

Requests for changing Interwiki should be made on Community noticeboard if no local interwiki administrators exist on the wiki.

Eligibility criteria and requesting
The following are the eligibility criteria for both global and local interwiki administrators.

Global interwiki administrators

 * Have at least 1000 total global edits on Miraheze (on more than one wiki) (Note: These edits may not consist of directly copy/pasting content from other wikis, they must be edits done by the user);
 * Have had their Miraheze account for at least 2 months; and,
 * Be involved in some way in community matters (in discussions on Community Noticeboard, etc.)
