Current administrators
[edit]Administrators are given access for one year per the Restricted access policy. Regular votes are held to confirm each user's status. Other languages indicate the areas in which the administrators might be able to converse with outside project members, or help provide public domain translations.

Confirmation discussions
[edit]Restricted access depends on the continued support of the community. This may be tested by a vote of confidence, in which a simple majority (50%+1) must support the user's continued access for it to be retained. (What access a discussion concerns should be explicitly noted in the discussion's introduction.) Any user may propose a vote of confidence, but at least three established users must support the need for one before it can be called. Such a proposal is made automatically one year after the last scheduled or called proposal (concerning all restricted access).
In the case of an unscheduled (called) proposal, the user may not use the restricted access for any non-trivial action at any time until the vote is closed. A bureaucrat will eventually archive the discussion and, if so decided, request removal of restricted access by a steward.
Billinghurst
[edit]N.B. Billinghurst has been inactive Wikimedia wide since August 2024. I messaged them at the beginning of the year and received no response. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 18:44, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
Neutral for the sysop permission. Activity is obviously an issue, but I fully trust this longtime sysop, and it wouldn't be the end of the world to give them a year to come back. I just hope they are okay. 
Remove for interface-admin, as it's extra-dangerous and they haven't used it since 2023. ⟲ Three Sixty! (talk, edits) 02:58, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
- I've found some offwiki evidence that Billinghurst is likely alive and well (I won't link it here to preserve privacy). ⟲ Three Sixty! (talk, edits) 17:57, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
Abstain for admin due to inactivity, though I do miss Billinghurst, and would have no trouble having the bit reinstated if he returned! But I think Remove the interface admin rights, given the danger of the role itself etc. SnowyCinema (talk) 05:58, 2 April 2025 (UTC)- Neutral Billinghurst has provided us with many years of invaluable service, in fact helped to form Wikisource into what we know nowadays, and is missed here very much. I am willing to change my vote immediately upon their reappearance here. Agree to Remove the interface admin rights. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 15:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Remove both interface administrator and interface administrator access for long inactivity.--Jusjih (talk) 17:41, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Note: confirming that last activity on any Wiki was August 19, 2024. I see no conflict or other abrupt circumstance that would lead them to leave, so I find this concerning. BD2412 T 21:06, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
