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.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Interface administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

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.

I-20@jbowiktionary

This wiki is very small (32 entries). I'd like to get a temporary adminship there to help the wiki. I've begun to work on it. I have invited another user to help me. I-20the highway 00:43, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've just left the message in their discussion page. Let's leave it there for a while before doing anything. --FiliP ██ 00:46, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks :) My previous Lobjan stuff I did was to translate in translatewiki:. I-20the highway 00:55, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

බිඟුවා@siwikibooks

Thanks! -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 09:36, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

One week does not seem like enough time for such a small community to vote. I'd like to wait another week. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 00:10, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK.-- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 00:53, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AGiorgio08@lgwikipedia

Requesting temporary adminship for this Wiki. AGiorgio08 18:54, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You do not have any edits there, so could you explain why you need sysop access? LeinaD (t) 23:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Woww@frwikipedia

Im here to ask if i can get my sysop status open again after a automatic suspension. Woww 03:52, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Manuelt15 is correct. Contact a local bureaucrat, please. Kylu 18:30, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wōdenhelm@angwiki

angwiki is a very small wiki that has two inactive sysops. I found it needing some administrative action which I took and found a small but active community. Wōdenhelm emailed me asking for admin rights because he had an old RFA that passed but was never acted on. I reran a new RFA for him (and one other who is yet to accept). Wōdenhelm's passed 3-0 (very small wiki). So could a steward review the RFA and the old RFA and decide to give the mop to Wōdenhelm at angwiki? Thx :) fr33kman t - c 02:08, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done, expires: 01/11/2010 please remember to translate the interface at betawiki: only and to upload images preferably to commons:, please come back a few days before the status expires to prolong it or hold a local voting if the community grows, thanks --dferg ☎ talk 12:33, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Akishin D.@ruwikinews

Russian Wikinews need in bureaucrat. Дмитрий talk+ 08:54, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, there are only 4 votes. We usually give out bureaucrat flags to bigger communities. I'm not sure about this case... --FiliP ██ 09:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
With only 36 active users, bureaucrat flags should likely not be given yet.Jusjih 20:12, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Li.wiktionary have 23 aktive users, but it have 2 bureaucrats. Дмитрий talk+ 06:28, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's seemingly a rough consensus for 10 total votes and 75% supporting before promoting someone to bureaucrat. See Talk:Bureaucrat and the related RfC on Meta. Ionek 11:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Mxn@viwiki

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]
Faxed. Thanks for waiting. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 17:47, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Waiting for office confirmation. — Dferg 13:18, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but we do not know how long it takes new CheckUser right? We (viwikipedia community), waited so long ... minhhuy*= 14:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody here can do anything until the office posts receipt of the identification. Ionek 17:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DHN@viwiki

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

See above.--Shanel 08:42, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Should I wait for the confirmation request or should I send my confirmation letter ASAP? DHN 18:11, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Send your identification ASAP. only after the foundation confirms, this will be decided. --Jyothis 18:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Identification sent. DHN 07:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I sent an email with my ID info several days ago to secure-info@wikimedia.org but haven't heard anything back. Is that the correct email address I should send it to or is there another one? DHN 04:32, 24 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]

Deineka@ukwiki

ID received & confirmed - still on hold per the policy untill Deineka identifies. On a project there must be or 2 CheckUsers or none at all. — Dferg 14:20, 3 July 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>

아흔@ko.wikibooks

아흔 delete many page without talking, and change many system message without concensus. --Betalph 16:30, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not able to read ko. Sorry. Is there any discussion / consensus on the local wiki for your request? --M/ 16:34, 1 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

svwiki requests

On sv.wikipedia the admins are elected for one year. sv:Wikipedia:Administratörer#Förordnandetid. There is an option to be reelected, but everybody is not doing that. -- Lavallen 11:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sten André@sv.wikipedia

He stays as admin, but bureaucrat-flag should be removed. -- Lavallen 11:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Bureaucrat rights removed. Sysop rights untouched. --dferg ☎ talk 11:12, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hejkompis@sv.wikipedia

Admin-flag should be removed. -- Lavallen 11:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Administrator flags removed. --dferg ☎ talk 11:14, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ztaffanb@sv.wikipedia

There is no inactivity-policy at sv.wiki, but nobody has asked him to stay as admin, and neither has he. Adminflag should be removed.-- Lavallen 11:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The last election gave Ztaffab mandate as admin until today. That he has been inactive makes the probability that he will be nominated for a new period low. And he will not be nominated until he responds to a nomination-question on his talk-page. -- Lavallen 19:21, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
E.G.@sv.wikipedia

The one year term has expired. I have been in mail-contact with E.G. about this. He chooses to minimize his activity on sv.wikipedia. Adminflag should be removed. -- Lavallen 11:05, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --dferg ☎ talk 11:21, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
