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.

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:

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

Administrator access

Steward requests/Permissions/Sysop-header

SPQRobin@azwiki

I'd like to clean up the local MediaWiki messages that are identical to the default system messages on azwiki [1], so I'd like to have temporary editinterface rights (I think it's only possible via temporary sysop rights). Thanks! SPQRobin (talk) 20:30, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done since it can't be granted locally , i have granted it globally , please let us know when you are done Mardetanha talk 20:33, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Global right removed , but granted with temp admin right , please let us know when you are done Mardetanha talk 20:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have finished. You can remove my sysop and bot rights there. Thank you, SPQRobin (talk) 23:20, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done; thanks for your work. -- Mentifisto 03:43, 1 June 2011 (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 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>

HydrizBot@elwikinews

This is my bot which had temporary bot access together with my temporary sysop access on elwikinews. Apparently, my sysop access has been removed but not my bot's bot flag. Please remove it, thanks. --Hydriz 03:04, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- Dferg ☎ talk 03:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Florent Pécassou@commonswikimedia

Severe abuse, used sockpuppets to double vote in deletion request, Florent Pécassou completely lost the confidence of the community. --Jcb 23:01, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unless there is active misuse of the administrative tools, I think it is best to follow established procedure here (nb: I am a Commons admin, though I haven't commented on that thread). NW (Talk) 03:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That established procedure has been followed. This request is the last step to complete that procedure. Jcb 07:07, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm recusing from action here since Commons is one of my home wikis, but a quick comment: The process requires a desysopping request "in the same way adminship is sought". Unless there's an actual emergency, you're going to have to file a request at COM:RFA first. Jafeluv 11:59, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I see no evidence of any procedure being followed personally. Previously (per Jaf) there has always been an RFA. --Herby talk thyme 16:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done per above self-request. Thank you for your prior service, and I hope that the issues can be worked out so that you can continue to contribute to the commons. -- Avi 06:46, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
