Instructions for sysoping someone

  1. Wait at least seven days after the listing was made on Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship
  2. If it is not a self-request, check the user has accepted the nomination
  3. Check if there is a general consensus that the person should be sysopped or bureaucratted (one rule of thumb is that below 70% support compared to oppose generally fails, above 80% generally passes, and you should use discretion in between)
  4. If the above conditions are met, make them an admin or bureaucrat using Special:Makesysop
  5. Add their name to the list at Misplaced Pages:List of administrators or Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats
  6. Move the listing from requests for adminship to recently created admins or recently created bureaucrats
  7. Inform the user that they are now a sysop or bureaucrat

Instructions for changing usernames

  1. Check the request at Misplaced Pages:Changing username is legitimate
  2. Be sure that the user has no history of abuse and that the request is in the best interest of the project. Use your judgement.
  3. Enter the old and new name at Special:Renameuser
  4. Recreate the old account and then block it. This prevents someone else creating it in an attempt to impersonate the renamed user.
  5. Redirect the user and talk pages of the old account to the new account
  6. Inform the user their request has been carried out
  7. Archive the request at Misplaced Pages:Changing username
