Meta administrators are users who have been granted the technical ability to perform certain actions on Meta (some of which include deleting/undeleting pages, protecting/unprotecting pages and blocking/unblocking users). Their role is mainly to help Meta users and the community, as well as to maintain and protect it from vandalism and make sure that local policies are respected.

During this period anyone from the Community may, or  a candidate's request.

A request will be deemed successful when closed by a bureaucrat after having achieved a 70% support ratio.

Revocation
An administrator may lose their permissions if:
 * a request of no confidence in opened against the user and has a more than 50% support ratio,
 * the user is inactive from the community for a period of 6 months.
