'''Interface editors''' are trusted users who can edit all pages including the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces#MediaWiki|MediaWiki namespace]] on all wikis. They maintain templates and the site's JavaScript (<code>*.js</code>) and Cascading Style Sheets (<code>*.css</code>) resources. This permission is enabled on every public Wikimedia wiki that shares access via CentralAuth and SUL, and is only to be used for non-controversial maintenance, or by request of the local community. Since users in this group can seriously disrupt Wikimedia wikis if used incorrectly, the interface editor permission is only assigned to users who have a strong track record in maintaining code and scripts.

== Appointment ==

Requests for this permission should be placed on [[Steward requests/Global permissions#Requests for other global permissions|Steward requests/Global permissions]], and the discussion should last no less than five days; if there is consensus ''and'' the criteria from the [[#Scope|scope]] are fulfilled, the permission will be granted by a [[Special:MyLanguage/Stewards|steward]]. The need for this permission should be stated very clearly. Substantiating information should also be provided, such as MediaWiki development experience or other experience with code on Wikimedia wikis.

Alternatively, this permission may be granted to Wikimedia Foundation staff at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation.

By default, appointment will be temporary, lasting any time up to a year, and will be added to [[Steward requests/Global permissions/Approved temporary]]. A longer appointment may be requested by long-term interface editors after several successful renewals. Requests for renewal can be done by placing a new request on [[Steward requests/Global permissions#Requests for other global permissions|Steward requests/Global permissions]]. This does not apply to paid employees of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Technical requests for assistance can be made at [[Steward requests/Miscellaneous|Steward requests/Miscellaneous]]. Tech-related wiki questions can be asked at the [[Tech|Tech Forum]].

If disputes arise with local communities, all efforts must be taken to resolve the issue(s) calmly. If in doubt, interface editors are advised to post advanced notice of their edits to the local community via a community noticeboard, explaining what the edits will achieve. If disputes still cannot be resolved, a [[request for comment|request for comment]] may be initiated, or a review may be requested from any steward.
