This page outlines the accounts policy for the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki.
Registered accounts
Anyone with a registered Wikimedia account has an account on the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki.
Editor group accounts
Accounts with editor group access are Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors approved by the Communications or Legal departments to have editor rights to this wiki to perform their work duties.
Expectations
Members of the editor group are expected to:
- Operate within this wiki's policies, guidelines, and procedures, in particular:
- Follow this wiki's manual of style.
- Familiarize yourself with this wiki's editors toolbox and user manual.
- Join the internal [# #governance-wiki] Slack channel.

Administrators
Administrators on the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki are Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors approved by the Communications or Legal departments to have administrator rights to this wiki to perform their work duties.
Stewards and Global sysops
Volunteers elected to serve as Stewards or selected to serve as Global sysops will also have administrator rights on the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki. However, they may not edit actual content within the main content namespaces without first checking with the Foundation.
Translation administrator rights
Global sysops interested in supporting efforts to address vandalism within translations may request to be added to the "Translation administrators" group. To do so, please post a request on the Babel page or contact the Foundation's Communications department (talktocomms
wikimedia
org) with your request.
Requesting editor or administrator rights
Staff may contact the Wikimedia Foundation Governance Wiki team via the internal #governance-wiki channel once receiving approval from a manager within Legal or Communications. Staff can also check the Foundation Governance Wiki page on Office Wiki for contact information on the current project lead for Foundation Governance Wiki.
