Is there some defined process to get administrator privileges at the OSM wiki? asked 03 Jun '12, 16:07  saerdnaer edited 03 Jun '12, 16:07 |

No, there isn't a procedure, mostly because it's unnecessary. Although the OSM wiki uses MediaWiki, it's just side documentation for the project and doesn't have the same significance to the project as Wikipedia. This means fewer administrators are needed, and the current team of admins is generally able to cope with the workload. Most of the problems with the wiki are related to the quality of the documentation, which don't require administrator privileges to fix. answered 03 Jun '12, 17:08  Jonathan Ben... edited 03 Jun '12, 17:14 (03 Jun '12, 21:02) saerdnaer |
The process is to wait until you are asked. answered 03 Jun '12, 17:21  TomH ♦♦ Which group of people do you ask? The members of the wiki team, the people you know in person, etc? (03 Jun '12, 21:03) saerdnaer 3 You don't ask anybody - if the current team of administrators think additional help is needed, and that you would be a suitable candidate, then they will ask you.

I believe it is acceptable to ask an existing administrator whether they might want help though ;) answered 04 Jun '12, 11:05  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
