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

<!--T:30-->
There are currently [[<tvar name="list1">Special:ListUsers/wikicreator</tvar>|<tvar name="wccountf">{{NUMBERINGROUP:wikicreator}}</tvar> {{PLURAL:<tvar name="wccount">{{NUMBERINGROUP:wikicreator|R}}</tvar>|wiki creator|wiki creators}}]].

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

<!--T:19-->
Users may be nominated or nominate themselves for the role of wiki creator by placing a request on [[<tvar name=meta-rfp>Meta:Requests for permissions</tvar>]]. 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 members having created an account prior to the permissions request in question may vote <tvar name=support>{{support}}</tvar>, <tvar name=neutral>{{neutral}}</tvar> or <tvar name=oppose>{{oppose}}</tvar> on a candidate's request. They may also choose to add questions or comments to the request.

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

== 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. For the purposes of activity which is counted, only edits and log actions on Meta Wiki are taken into consideration.

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

<!--T:21-->
A wiki creator's rights may be removed by a Steward should the wiki creator:
# Repeatedly violated the [[<tvar name=content-policy>Special:MyLanguage/Content Policy</tvar>|Content Policy]] when creating wikis;
# Demonstrated clearly that they have mainly created wikis for their own use and are not focused on their role of creating wikis for other users;
# Repeatedly violated the [[<tvar name=coc>Special:MyLanguage/Code of Conduct</tvar>|Code of Conduct]] or any other [[<tvar name=gp>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Global policies</tvar>|global policies]]; or,
# Repeatedly created wikis with inadequate descriptions which could not possibly have allowed them to determine whether they would violate the Content Policy and/or which have caused an excessive amount of work for Stewards and/or Global Sysops as a result.
#: The fourth criterion may or may not also involve the first criterion, but is a lower threshold and relates to a wiki creator repeatedly creating wikis apparently indiscriminately without apparent regard for wiki requests having sufficient descriptions. In such cases, as would be the case in the first three criteria, wiki creators would be formally warned by one or more Stewards

<!--T:32-->
Additionally, 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 name=sysadmins>Special:MyLanguage/Tech:SRE Volunteers</tvar>|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 name=appointment>Meta:Wiki creators#Appointment</tvar>|Appointment]] procedure.

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

<!--T:23-->
System administrators (see [[<tvar name=sysadmins-list>Special:GlobalUsers/sysadmin</tvar>|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 user group.
