After considering carefully over the last few days, I'd like to request de-sysoping on a temporary basis. This will allow me to concentrate on writing articles, without the distractions of administrative duties. I'll request re-sysoping through the local 'crat noticeboard when I'm ready. Please note, I'd like to retain rollback.[[User:Tivedshambo|Tivedshambo]] 07:57, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

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.

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 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 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.

Rokaszil@ffwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hello! I want admin rights in Fulfulde Wikipedia because I can help for this. User Guaka isn't active administrator in this Wikipedia.

This page doesn't exist. Alex Pereira falaê 18:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alex is referring to the discussion page linked above ( ff:iscussion_utilisateur:Rokaszil )... is there a chance it's actually somewhere else? ++Lar: t/c 06:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I haven't got the talk page in Fulfulde Wikipedia. I have got the talk page in Lithuanian Wikipedia. Rokaszil 10:58, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nesnad@chr.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hello! I think that one of the things slowing down input on the Cherokee Wikipedia is that many people don't know how to input the non-roman characters into the computer. A helpful user on the Navajo Wikipedia has taught me how to create an input bar (that is in use on Navajo Wikipedia) for use on Cherokee Wikipedia. I request temporary Admin rights so I can impliment this, in the hope of making Cherokee Wikipedia easier to use for those who do not know how to setup a Cherokee keyboard and what not. Thanks in advance, wado. Nesnad 13:26, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds reasonable to me, how long do you need the rights for? Would a week be enough? a month? Let us know. ++Lar: t/c 06:11, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seagull.Stefanos@el.wikiquote

Status:    Done

As you have probably noticed, the 3 permanent administrators in Greek Wikiquotes (or "Βικιφθέγματα") are inactive (don't work for the project any more). For this reason, last March, I asked for temporary permission. The first 3-month permission (27.3 until 27.6.2009) was extended for an extra 5 month period, which expires tomorrow. Recently I put this problem under discussion in the Community Discussion Page of Βικιφθέγματα, asking for "votes". Until now 4 people have vote positively ("support"), most of them are administrators of the Greek Wikipedia. Among them is also "Θεόδωρος", one of the three inactive admins I mentioned before. So... could you, please, give me permanent permission? You have probably to know that, in fact, during these last 8 months, I'm the only one who take care of the Greek Wikiquotes, adding plenty of new articles and cheching if everything goes right in the project... --Seagull.Stefanos 08:51, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds okay for me to give permanent access. Removed from Steward requests/Permissions/Approved temporary. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed (for the record). ++Lar: t/c 06:11, 27 November 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 before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. 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-owner@lists.wikimedia.org so the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Smooth O@bs.wiki

Status:    In progress

Election done. --WizardOfOz 09:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User is not yet identified to the WMF. This needs to be done before access can be granted. I've posted information about the procedure at his talk page. --Erwin 09:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this user requested CU rights in last month: Steward requests/Permissions/2009-10#Smooth O@bs.wikipedia. LeinaD (t) 17:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note:Extended until 12-15-2009 even if there is no need. --WizardOfOz 19:54, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for extending the vote. Policy is clear on this, you need 25-30 votes and 70-80% support for a checkuser election to be valid. 20 votes are not enough. See CU#Access_to_CheckUser. I hope that helps clarify matters, this is not a debatable point. ++Lar: t/c 19:23, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lucas Teles@ptwikipedia

Status:    In progress

On wiki.pt, Lucas Teles was elected for a one-year term. User already been told to send the confirmation of his real identity as shown in this diff. Thanks. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 01:13, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Waiting for Cary' response--Nick1915 - all you want 11:28, 29 November 2009 (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.
Note that this section 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

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global 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; the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place 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 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 -->
}}

Pmlineditor@simplewikibooks

Status:    In progress

sjc@enWikipedia

Status:    Done

After a number of recent unpleasant experiences with Wikipedia, I am of the opinion that I no longer wish to be associated in any way with the project whatsoever; I can only reflect on what a pleasure it was in the early days and what a deeply divided, hostile and abusive community it has now become. I request herewith admin status removal as I won't be needing it again. Sjc 09:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC) (BTW my global account does not appear to be very global and probably needs bugging)[reply]

Please, make an edit in your talk page on enwp, about this request. Thanks. Alex Pereira falaê 12:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure why he hasn't responded to this request yet but I thought I would point out his user page where he seems to reference the request. More time is rarely bad though so :) Jamesofur 20:59, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks for your job. Alex Pereira falaê 11:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dantadd@ptwiki

Status:    Done
Done Thanks.--Nick1915 - all you want 00:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @lestaty discuţie 00:20, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was a mistake, could you revert this situation, please? That user was under medic licence with a several disease. Now he is better and can edit again. Thank you. For more information about that please have a look at [6] (in Portuguese) FML 14:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a mistake. The user was desysopped in accordance with the local policy of administrative inactivity, because he made less than 50 administrative actions in the last 180 days. Thanks. Ruy Pugliesi◥ 14:57, 26 November 2009 (UTC) (local bureaucrat)[reply]

No, we cannot revert it. Granting userrights is up to local bureaucrats only. Please solve that internally on ptwiki. --თოგო (D) 15:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NonvocalScream@simplewikipedia

Status:    Not done

Please remove the administrative access. Thank you. NonvocalScream 21:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done - simple wikipedia has asked that this be handled by local 'crats, and local 'crats can remove sysop. Please contact a local 'crat. Laaknor 22:30, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.

Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages:
