Revision as of 13:03, 10 July 2010

Shortcut:
SRP

This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia projects which do not have a local permissions procedure.

Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • If you are requesting adminship or bureaucratship, and your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (index).
  • For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel. In emergencies, type !steward in the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type @steward for non-urgent help.

Other than requests to remove your own access or emergencies, please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

(translate | edit)

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = <!-- such as en.wikibooks -->
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}
(your remarks) ~~~~

2. Fill in the values:

  • domain: the wiki's URL domain (like "ex.wikipedia" or "meta.wikimedia").
  • user name: the name of the user whose rights are to be changed (like "Exampleuser"). In case you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots in your remarks
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to sign a confidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also sign the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the Office.

Requests

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== user name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for removal of access belong in another section. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be done at the translatewiki.net instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Steward requests/Speedy deletions.

Stewards
Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; copy granted requests to the appropriate section there, stating the date of removal in the section header and at the bottom of the request. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
Archiving
Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.

For permanent sysopship please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary sysopship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

Kanon6917@aywikipedia

Status:    Done
  • Wiki: ay.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
  • User: Kanon6917 (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
  • Discussion: I was an admin in the Aymar Wikipedia for 4 months during 2007. I have some basic knowledge of Quechua and Aymara, and since there are no native aymara speakers and the actual admin Marius is not active anymore, I would like to continue with some editions and translations of the interface of the wiki. I have just sent emails to some bolivians that maybe in the near future could help improving the quality of the articles, but since maybe they will be new with the interface of wikipedia, I would like to help them as an admin for the first months. Thank you!.

Kanon6917 05:31, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To translate the interface you have to visit translatewiki:, where I have helped with the translations to Aymara (a few). Also, have you notified the Aymara Wikipedia community? --Diego Grez return fire 01:48, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He has, but his RfA has only been open twenty hours, with no community input. Microchip08 sewb
Yes I have as you said. Right here, but maybe there won't be many comminity inputs since there are not many active users in Aymar Wikipedia right now.--Kanon6917 03:47, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Two votes in favor, none opposed. Almost been a month. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 23:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Juhko@acewikipedia

Status:    Not done

They voted me as an administrator last year, but I fumbled my adminship, because I forgot to add teh request here. Someone please tell me, is the voting still in effect? --Juhko 14:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the right place for such a thing: it's up to the local community to decide if it's still in effect or not.--Nick1915 - all you want 08:55, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment Is it appropriate to give adminship to someone with such a userpage? --Mercy 07:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't that for the local community to decide? Jafeluv 07:52, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Just a thing: In that link I only see one user comment, not the community comment --by Màñü飆¹5 talk 08:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The admin voting was done a few months ago with 100% support. Isn't the 1 year policy global? --Juhko 08:29, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Voting is still in effect because no any policy says no. I see its difficult to understand so do I have to receive comment from 2-4 (?) active users, or renew teh voting? --Juhko 08:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A lot can change in several months. For example, Juhko has been blocked on fiwiki (home wiki) since the vote ended: "Yes (on 20:06, 01 June 2010 till 22:44, 02 October 2014 by Otrfan; Reason: jatkettu estoa neljällä vuodella)" Given that, another vote is absolutely needed on acewiki, IMO. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 23:42, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Iltever@krcwiki

Status:    In progress

I am very active in the Karachay-Balkar Wikipedia and will continue so. Unfortunately, there are not many users in our Wikipedia. But we will continue to work. If I get a bureaucrat access, then our Wikipedia will become an independent and will not disturb anyone else. I hope for your understanding. Thank you. --Iltever 12:44, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We tend to like to see a wiki have two bcrats. You are currently the only admin. I think Stewards can easily continue to deal with rights on the krc wiki for the time being. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 12:51, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I totally disagree with Daniel. When a community asks for a bureaucrat they gain independence. It is good when stewards are not needed. Iltever has shown repeatedly to be a champion for his community, he has the trust of his community and this is more relevant then a fuzzy preference for two bureaucrats. GerardM 14:34, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
In the project should be more active users (and admins). If there is only one user, who is the admin and bureaucrat, it threatens to take over the project. I would suggest mark request as refused, the same as other similar requests. LeinaD (t) 14:44, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
According to Ethnologue, there are around ~100,000 of speakers of Karachay-Balkar language (yes, numbers are confusing, but the most precise one says somewhat more than 100,000). Counting that Internet access in Karachay-Balkar region is significantly lower than in, let's say, Lusatia (where Sorbian languages are spoken), we can't expect more than 10 active users for a long time. Thus, I would give to Iltever bureaucrat permissions. If something goes wrong, we can remove his permissions. The only requirement should be a clear explanation at Administrators page on krc.wp (in Karachay-Balkar, Russian and English) that any user can come here and report abuse of admin and bureaucrat permissions (in Russian or English). Before giving those permissions, I would like to hear other stewards that they feel convinced :) --Millosh 00:02, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There are more than 300 thousand (Russian Census 2002) Karachay-Balkars just in Russia, and 97% of them use the language. :)
However, you're right, unfortunately we can't expect many active users for a long time. Of course I'll perform your requirement, and thank you for your confidence. :) --Iltever 01:54, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I want to give one more note: With admins who are able to give bot flags, bureaucratship in such circumstances wouldn't be necessary. However, this is not yet solved and we [stewards] should solve this issue in the future. --Millosh 07:55, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to say that Iltever made requested page krc:Википедия:Администраторла and I may confirm that Russian and English version are the same (which matters, as the most of Karachay-Balkar speakers also speak Russian). I would ask Mav and Leinad to reconsider their positions :) --Millosh 05:36, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Iltever is doing great job at krc.wiki. The bureaucrat access will help him much as he will no longer need to go to meta for every minor task like bot flag or similar, the task always painful for us, non-natives in English. There is no much danger of his „overtaking“ the project, since he has proved to be a very adequate wikipedician with strong concerns about neutrality and quality. He does much not only in the Wikipedia itself but also in popularising it and generally the use of Karachay-Balkar in written form on the web; he also helps with useful advice and his newly acquired experience to other smaller wikipedias within the Russian language region (notably for me, to os.wiki). Amikeco 06:38, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to see what other stewards think, since what I said is still my understanding of our best practice. I'm willing to be convinced that this is a special case. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 01:18, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

just my 2 cents I think that bureaucrat' flag should not be regarded as reward, but just as tech role... in a small community of 10 members, every bureaucrat' tasks could be easily carried out by stewards--Nick1915 - all you want 16:29, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But, we shouldn't treat bureaucrat permissions as a big deal. At least in the cases where no significant number of users are expected. --Millosh 18:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Even when no significant number of users are expected to the wiki, the one/few users that do exist on the wiki can become dictators and scare away the rest of the (future) users. The reason for not giving out bureaucrat-rights if the wiki isn't large, isn't about "the big deal" of 'cratsship, but making sure we don't create "a big deal" for one of the users, before the rest of the users have arrived on the wiki, and can learn that it isn't a big deal. Also, this has been discussed a lot of times in the last months, when people ask for 'cratsship, so I think we should get it into the policies soon. Laaknor 07:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
But, he has already made a page for administrators where it is clearly explained what someone should do in the case of admin/bureaucrat permissions abuse. I think that this is enough clear for any reasonable person if they recognize abuse. Besides that, it is not the most important reason for making a dictatorship at one wiki. We have numerous examples of wiki-dictatorships based on community decision to give to someone some permissions. We should assume good faith especially because it is always possible to remove any permission. --Millosh 04:41, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As this is still in process, I would probably tend to give bc access to Iltever, although I don't feel very good with that. There is however no reason to mistrust him, and we don't yet have a policy to not giving rights to small communities. We should of course start the process to make such a policy very soon (maybe we can discuss that here in Gdansk in the next two days... ;) ) --თოგო (D) 12:56, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Mxn@viwiki

Status:    In progress

Vietnamese Wikipedia community has concensus on creating local CheckUser. We have voted for Mxn to be one of 2 CUs (another one is DHN@viwiki). You stewards please contact him directly to ask for his identity. Tân (talk) 07:04, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mxn must identify himself to the Wikimedia Foundation. DHN must also do the same.--Shanel 08:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DHN. Your ID were received and confirmed by Cary, but per CheckUser policy there must be at least 2 checkusers on a wiki or none at all so until Mxn identifies we can't promote you. Once his ID is confirmed, we will promote you both. Thanks, — Dferg ☎ 12:58, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Oversight.

Removal of access

<translate>

  • If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your account. If you have multiple flags, specify which you want removed. Stewards may delay your request a short time to ensure you have time to rethink your request (see [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|previous discussion]] on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, provide a link to the discussion, with a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. However, as bureaucrats of some wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|separate list of these specific wikis]].
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

Innv@test.wikipedia

Status:    Done

User gained 'crat bit via an email request. He has now been found to be a blocked sockpuppet. I am requesting (as a local 'crat) that Innv's 'crat rights be removed. Additionally I will be removing his sysop bit. (Please note there is no formal local de-adminship/cratship process). -- Tiptoety talk 03:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done TestWiki grants rights to trusted users, whether this user is using socks and abusing of the Wikimedia community its permissions should be removed. The proccess for adminship/cratship and de-adminship/cratship is only "trusted users". Regards - @lestaty discuţie 03:36, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
