In addition to local policies and consensus, Stewards use the following criteria when deciding whether or not to grant access:

* Appointments will be made by local community discussion. The discussion must be highly visible and open for at least 7 days. If any reasonable objections were raised in the local discussion, there must be broad consensus to grant access.

* ''For permanent adminship:'' The wiki must be large enough to require administrators. Stewards will make the final determination of this point based on factors including the size of the community~~, the number of administrators and bots,~~ and the frequency of ~~permission changes~~ being necessary.

* ''For permanent adminship:'' The wiki must be large enough to require administrators. Stewards will make the final determination of this point based on factors including the size of the community and the frequency of administrative actions being necessary.

* If the previous criterion is not met, Stewards may still grant temporary adminship for a trial period. If there are no glaring issues after the trial period, and the administrator retains community trust, Stewards may then proceed to grant permanent adminship (regardless of the wiki size).

== Removal ==

On some wikis, bureaucrats can remove administrator access ("desysop"). However, on most wikis, removal of adminship can only be done by Stewards. Stewards may remove administrator access on self-request, in emergencies, according to local consensus, according to the [[Special:MyLanguage/Inactivity policy|inactivity policy]] (inactivity for 2 years), or according to other policies.
