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.

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:

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

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013-11-01. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joxemai@euwiktionary

I request permanent adminship. I have been for some times temporary administrator. I often make contributions in the project and other current administrators are inactive. My current adminship expired in 2013 April 11. Discussion has finished with agreement from some users. Thanks. - Joxemai (talk) 14:59, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013-11-01. I am afraid that there is not enough community support taking into count past precedents to grant permanent adminship right now. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 19:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Дагиров Умар@ce.wiki

Greetings! Please grant me an access to the administrative rights at the Chechen Wikipedia for 6 months. I need it for deleting, restoring and (un-)protecting pages, (un-)blocking users (especially unblocking users, who have been blocked by previous admins for no valid reason), editing MediaWiki namespace etc. Due to decision stated here, I have requested the status locally, and received sufficient support (7 "pro" to 0 "oppose"), mostly from active contributors. I have already received an access previously.--Дагиров Умар (talk) 18:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beko@hywikiquote

Armenian wikiquote needs an administrator, the old sysop already two years is not active. I am the administrator in the hywiki. I want and can to be helpful in wikiquote too.Beko (talk) 19:08, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013-11-03. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. To note that I saw Vacio's vote was initally added here (since it's not in the history of the page you linked). --MF-W 05:27, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header


CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header


Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or, for requests regarding English Wikipedia email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org. 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>

Stefan64@dewiki

Please remove my oversight bit, effective May 1. I have completed two terms as a member of the oversight team and I'm not running for re-election. Thanks, Stefan64 (talk) 23:50, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until May 1st.—Teles «Talk to me ˱@ L C S˲» 00:03, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Swedish Wikipedia

On the Swedish Wikipedia all admins/bureaucrats/CU/OS are elected for one year at a time, see the policy document. There exists a possibility to be reelected, but some users choose not to apply for another period. To get reelected at least 75 percent support is required. --MagnusA (talk) 05:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ainali@svwiki

Hakka@hakwiki

Please remove my sysop status because I no longer wish to remain as Administrator there. I have neither the time nor the required fluency (my family are not Hakka speakers) to fulfill my sysop duties hence please remove me as sysop. I have nominated two other Native Hakka speakers to be my replacement. They are from two different countries (China & Malaysia) so they can better cater to the needs of the local Hakka users in those regions. There is no point keeping me as sysop because I no longer wish to edit there. will edit there with a lower frequency in the long term. Regards. --Hakka (talk) 06:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done thank you for nearly 6 years of service QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:56, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this project has only two CheckUsers. The Steward actioning this will need to remove the CU bit from EVula temporarily until a new CU is appointed QuiteUnusual (talk) 22:04, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
