Meta:Event organizers

Event organizers are Meta-Wiki users with the technical abilities to coordinate and manage events on Meta-Wiki. The first tool available to users with the event organizer right is Event Registration via the CampaignEvents extension. Event organizers who use Event Registration have the following abilities:

• Create an event page in the event namespace
• Add users (with the organizer right) as co-organizers of an event
• Enable registration on event pages that they created
• Collect information on participant demographics, if they agree to a clickwrap agreement
  • Participants can answer optional questions when registering on: Gender, age, profession, comfort level in contributing to Wikimedia projects, and if they are a part of any Wikimedia affiliates
• Edit event registration information
• Disable event registration on event page
• See who registered for the event and when they registered
• Remove participants from the participant list
• Send emails to registered participants
• Generate invitation lists, if the Invitation List feature is enabled

The following are recommended requirements for users to be granted event organizer rights. These criteria serve as a guideline and may evolve based on community agreement or consensus:

• Required for all applicants:
  • No active blocks on the wiki on which you are applying for the right
• Additionally, you must meet one of these requirements:
  • A minimum of 300 global edits
  • You are a Wikimedia affiliate staff member
  • You have received a Wikimedia grant for an event
  • You plan to organize a Wikimedia event

• If you are an WMF Official or Contractor and need this rights on Meta-Wiki to perform your duties the process is different. Please have a look at the WMF staff userrights policy on Office wiki^{[restricted access]} and follow the procedure described there. If in doubt, please contact Trust and Safety; or send an email to cawikimediaorg.

If you previously obtained access to the beta group campaignevents-beta-tester, there is no need to apply. You can check your own access rights at Special:UserRights.
