Interface administrators on Meta are local users with the ability to edit sitewide CSS and JS pages and other users' personal CSS/JS pages.
Editing CSS/JS that gets executed in other users' browsers is very powerful and potentially dangerous in the hands of a malicious user; interface administrators should be users who are highly trusted, have at least a basic understanding of CSS and JS, are aware of the privacy expectations of wikis, and have a good understanding of account security.
On Meta, some CSS and JavaScript pages (such as MediaWiki:Global.css) also have global effects, and interface administrators can edit these as well.
Appointment
After discussion on Meta:Requests for permissions, interface administrators may be appointed on Meta, subject to the rules listed at Interface administrators § Appointments.
Removal
Meta interface administrator access will be removed by a Steward in the following cases:
- No local edits or logged actions for 1 year
- Reasonable suspicion of account compromise or abuse of the tool
- Consensus on the community portal
