This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Using this page

  1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 
    ====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion=
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
  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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
    • 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
  3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

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

basharh@arcwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Thank you!--Basharh 00:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Basharh, the local request-link You gave does not exist, please update the link to a working link with the local voting, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 19:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is a page for requests here. Please list yourself there Basharh if you think the community is active enough to vote on this. If there are not enough people, then you should look at the temporary permissions section below. Angela 01:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moon@kwwikipedia

Status:    In progress

The Cornish Wikipedia is somewhat inactive, and I'd like to be given the chance to change that. With sysop permissions I will attempt to finish translation of the interface, keep an eye on Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, and try to make it easier to link and sort articles. This would be on top of my efforts to increase the site's scope and create the vital articles at w:kw:Wikipedia:1,000 erthyglow. I know I'm not even autoconfirmed there yet, but I've familiarised myself with WP policy, and thought there's no time like the present. Many thanks, w:kw:User:Moon --79.66.147.59 12:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, 1. the interface translations should never be done locally but only on betawiki: where all interface translations go, so they are not only locally but everywhere available and where the translations are documented to avoid common errors like translating variables or keywords which would break the interface. 2. please open a local announcement, we cannot grant You adminship whithout that. If there is no local community we could grant You a temporary period, but only if You can assure not to translate locally, but for this You need a local announcement anyway. Thanks and best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. The local sysop seems not inactive. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 13:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, I will use Betawiki to translate the interface then. I have posted a message on the community portal [3] and on the current administrator's userpage [4], however a reply may not be left as he is sometimes inactive for weeks at a time. Regards, w:kw:User:Moon --79.66.147.59 13:20, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Moon, since there is no hurry lets grant local users to comment this for ~ 1 week. Thanks for registering at betawiki and for helping there. If You wish to solve some of Your sul conflicts You could request usurpation for the accounts with no (or sometimes also few) contributions, requestpages can be found via the interwikilinks on the left at SR/SUL or requested there if the local project has no (active) bureaucrats, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 17:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

As with Checkuser, do not initiate a request for oversight access here. You need to work through your local wiki. Some wikis have elections. Some wikis have their Arbitration Committee make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki. The request should show a link to the local wiki election results, or be made on behalf of an ArbCom by a member of that ArbCom, whichever is applicable.

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 Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the request).

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). 

==== username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = 
 |user name = 
 |discussion=   <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
}}

Brion VIBBER@ruwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Please, revoke sysop flag from ru:User:Brion VIBBER, reason is ArbCom ruling (due to inactivity). Actually, Brion doesn't need this flag :). Ilya Voyager 16:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yurik@ruwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Please, revoke sysop flag from ru:User:Yurik, reason is ArbCom ruling (due to inactivity). Ilya Voyager 16:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical access

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the BetaWiki project 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 Multilingual speedy deletions.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. 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.

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
