Hello again folks, Delighted to say that we have another Sandbox Session coming up - on Sunday 25 Jan 2026 we'll be hosting the session Being an en.wiki admin, with Harry Mitchell. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:WMUK_Sandbox_Sessions/Being_an_en.wiki_Admin_25.01.26>
*Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be an admin on Wikipedia? Or been interested in becoming one, but are unsure of the process, or what to expect?* *In this session we’ll be talking all about adminship - what it involves, what the process for becoming an admin is like, what kind of commitment it involves, and what the best and most challenging bits are. We recorded an interview with Harry Mitchell, longstanding Wikimedian and en.wiki administrator, and we’ll be screening that interview, as well as having a live Q&A with Harry on the day!* *Harry Mitchell* is an en.wiki admin who does a lot of anti-vandalism work, and is both an administrator and an oversighter. He’s been an admin for over 15 years, and when he’s not doing that, he’s editing about “military history, architecture, and anything else that piques [his] interest.” More information, and registration details can be found on en.wiki here. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:WMUK_Sandbox_Sessions/Being_an_en.wiki_Admin_25.01.26> All the best!
