Temporary administrators

These users were given sysop status temporarily for the purposes of editing the Wikimedia Board elections page; they no longer have sysop access.

  1. BjarteSorensen (talk · contribs · former admin: blocks · protections · deletions · rights · meta · local rights)
  2. Datrio (talk · contribs · former admin: blocks · protections · deletions · rights · meta · local rights)
  3. Aphaia (talk · contribs · former admin: blocks · protections · deletions · rights · meta · local rights)

Other

By request of the user except as noted. Many of the users listed requested that their adminship be revoked either because they were no longer active at Wikipedia, because they were chiefly interested in technological contributions rather than editorial ones, or because they wished to focus on other Wikimedia projects. Some of the users listed voluntarily resigned their adminship status in recognition of the community's dissatisfaction with their activities; as such some of these cases, though nominally by user request, are not entirely voluntary. Former administrators who resigned their adminship in good standing may be reinstated at the discretion of any bureaucrat, while administrators who resigned under controversial circumstances must reapply for adminship by the usual means. Unless otherwise specified by the Arbitration committee, the determination of whether "controversial circumstances" existed is left to the discretion of the bureaucrats.
