Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

[edit] 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= 
   }}
   (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"). 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.

[edit] 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 the receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

[edit] Administrator access

[edit] Bureaucrat access

[edit] Marmzok@ckb.wikipedia

I got admin access now, but we have no user with Bureaucrat accesses. You said: "A small community generally doesn't require a local bureaucrat, because stewards can easily handle the low traffic of requests from that wiki with little delay; generally a user with this access is not needed until several local administrators are present.". Now we need a steward for give a bot flag but even we dont know how to find him. Thus I repeat my request for Bureaucrat access. Kind Regards --Marmzok 07:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] CheckUser access

[edit] Smooth O@bs.wiki

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

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)

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)

• Note:@ Leinad and he was elected by the rules of bs.wiki. Dungodung wanted more votes and so we extended the election. The result are 10 more votes of support and two which doesn´t count (not enough edits by election rules). It is the same election just extended.--WizardOfOz 18:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bocianski@plWikipedia

 Done - thank you for your service to the Polish Wikipedia. Your rights on be-x-old:wp have not been modified. ++Lar: t/c 03:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] sjc@enWikipedia

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)

Please, make an edit in your talk page on enwp, about this request. Thanks. Alex Pereira ^falaê 12:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Manning Bartlett@enwiki

Done. Thank you for your work. --M/ 13:38, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Amdf@mhr.wikipedia

Hello. After the local voting our community decided to remove administration access of user Amdf. The election started 10/11/2009 and ended 19/11/2009. 50% has voted agains this user, while the user needs 2/3 of all votes to become an administrator. Thanks. ПешСай 17:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Isn't clear to us. Amdf did have your temp sysop flag extended to May 15 2010, make a local announcement here. Alex Pereira ^falaê 12:44, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Amdf post a message to prolong his administrative access. But we begun a local voting. The result of the voting is to give administrative access for user ПешСай, and to remove access for user Amdf (because two of four votes are agains). I have made an announcement here. --ПешСай 18:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

You are doing very strange things, I think. I don't know why you want to remove my temporary sysop access after all my work in mhr wikipedia. I want to havem my temp sysop rights until May 15 2010, and I will not ask to prolong it after. амдф 18:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

The voting have made such decision. It is not comfortable for our community to have administrator, who don't know native language at all. And I have told you(Amdf) that you have made you work with mistakes, after which we spend a time to fix them.--ПешСай 19:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Are sure that two administrators is not better than just one, at least for a limited amount of time? If you abstain, User:Amdf has 2/3 of votes. As you know, Stewards will not decide for your community, but given that it's a small one, I think that most of us will feel much more confortable if you decide to cooperate in order to achive best results. Thank you, M/ 12:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hamham,Dersonlwd,Farm@zhwikip

All of the 3 sysops have asked for removal of their access at zhwikip, see the discussion links. --Kegns 10:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the flag. Please thank all three users for their work as sysop on zh.wikipedia. --M/ 12:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Razorflame@simplewikt

Please remove both my sysop and bureaucrat bits. Thanks, Razorflame 02:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done - Per your request (note that this was corrected to remove the request to remove Global Rollback, so that was not removed). Thank you for your service to the projects. ++Lar: t/c 02:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Restored per your request on IRC. —Pathoschild 02:22:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

 Done again. After further discussion with Pathoschild and other stewards, I have removed the bits again. A request to remove bits can be granted by Stewards. A request to restore them, even if given in 1 minute after the request was handled, cannot be. It is up to the community process to restore them to the user. Razorflame, speak to a local bureaucrat about restoring your permissions.

Note, if necessary, we can have a discussion about this, should there be a needed clarification of policy, but it is my view that this is the current situation. ++Lar: t/c 02:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
