Interwiki administrators

Interwiki administrators are users who can edit the interwiki>Special:Interwiki|interwiki table upon request, but not the global list which remains restricted to meta-admins>Meta:Administrators|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 interwiki>Special:Interwiki, to make sure it is not malicious.

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

Eligibility criteria and requesting
The following are the eligibility criteria for both gbliwa>Special:GlobalUsers/interwiki-admin|global and lcliwa>Special:ListUsers/interwiki-admin|local interwiki administrators.

Global interwiki administrators
Interwiki administrators are voted by users. However, the following conditions must be met in order for the user to be eligible to be voted. If these conditions are not met, the user may not be a candidate for   and any support votes will not matter. A candidate must:


 * 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.)

Requests for global Interwiki administrator should be made on rfgr>Requests for global rights

Local interwiki administrators
Local interwiki administrators must meet the following conditions prior to requesting:
 * Hold   rights on the local wiki;
 * Have made either (a) 500 edits on the local wiki where requested or (b) meet the 1,000 global edit requirement above; and,
 * Comply with any additional local rules governing the selection of local interwiki administrators

Requests for local interwiki administrator should be on the suitable local venue on the wiki and a stewards>Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|Steward informed of the request after the local election is complete (typically, a week, but local policies may dictate a shorter timeframe). Note there is currently no minimum support ratio for a successful election, and an election by acclamation after a reasonable timeframe is possible.

Revocation
If an   adds any malicious site to interwiki, they can immediately be revoked without warning.
