<!--T:1-->
'''Wiki creators''' are users who can approve or decline [[<tvar|request-wiki-queue>Special:RequestWikiQueue</>|wiki requests]]. They can access [[<tvar|create-wiki>Special:CreateWiki</>]], and see an extra form on [[<tvar|example-wiki-request>Special:RequestWikiQueue/1</>|any wiki request]].

== Appointment == <!--T:2-->

<!--T:19-->
Users may be nominated or nominate themselves for the role of wiki creator by placing a request on [[<tvar|meta-rfp>Meta:Requests for permissions</>]]. Whenever the nomination is accepted (if nominated by someone else, otherwise submitting the request is immediate acceptation), a request must stay open for at least three (3) days. During this period anyone from the Community may vote <tvar|support>{{support}}</>, <tvar|neutral>{{neutral}}</> or <tvar|oppose>{{oppose}}</> on a candidate's request.

<!--T:3-->
Unlike some other user groups, there is no minimum support percentage for the wiki creator role. A [[<tvar|stewards>Special:MyLanguage/Stewards</>|steward]] will close the request and make a decision based on the comments from the Community.

== Removal of rights == <!--T:4-->

=== Inactivity === <!--T:5-->

<!--T:20-->
Wiki creators who have not contributed to the community in any form for at least three months, may have their rights removed.

=== Revocation === <!--T:6-->

<!--T:21-->
A wiki creator's rights may be removed by a steward shall a wiki creator repeatedly violate the [[<tvar|content-policy>Special:MyLanguage/Content Policy</>|Content Policy]] when creating wikis. The rights may also be removed by a system administrator if the wiki creator (potentially) causes damage (from a technical view) or creates unreasonable workload for [[<tvar|sysadmins>Special:MyLanguage/System administrators</>|System administrators]]. If you feel a wiki creator is misusing their privileges, please contact a steward.

=== Readdition of rights === <!--T:7-->

<!--T:22-->
Wiki creators who have had their rights removed by a steward or system administrator, regardless of reason, may request their rights back by following the [[<tvar|appointment>Meta:Wiki creators#Appointment</>|Appointment]] procedure.

== System administrators == <!--T:8-->

<!--T:23-->
System administrators (see [[<tvar|sysadmins-list>Special:GlobalUsers/sysadmin</>|this page]] for a list of current system administrators) may be granted these privileges without community appointment and are also exempt from any activity requirements. However, the inactivity exemption ends immediately from the moment a user is no longer in the system administrator group.
