This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. Please check the sidebar to the right to see whether your request belongs better elsewhere. Specifically, bot requests, requests for CheckUser information and global rights requests belong on their respective pages.

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).

Interface translations are done at translatewiki. Please do not request administrator access for that purpose; your request will be declined.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (web client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help. Otherwise, you can use @steward to gain attention if the channel is quiet.

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.

[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"). 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]]").
  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] 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= 
}}

[edit] 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; please use {{Systmp}} for temporary permission. 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.

[edit] Igriks@vep.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Hello. This Wiki opened some days ago, but it has no administrators. I think stewards, who read it, can give admin flag for user Igriks. He speaks Vepsian as native, and he has knowledge of Wikimedia rules. Thank you--Tamara Ustinova 15:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Please have the user to post a request for adminship in vep:Vikipedii:Kund. We will review the consensus after a week and if so promote the user. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 16:30, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Mmistmurt@kabwikipedia

Status:    on hold

Good morning. I would like to become an administrator of Wikipedia Kabyle (kab.wikipedia.org). In this language there is only one administrator and his last activity was in 2008. Needless to say that he has disappeared from the scene. Wanting to update this Wikipedia, I would like to become one of the administrators but I do not know where to go. Could you please help me? Mmistmurt 14:04, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Please, start a local discussion first. --Mercy 14:26, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I have started a discussion but there is not much active users. I want to revive this wikipedia but the tools available are obsolete since not updated since 2008--Mmistmurt 14:59, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Time2wait.svg On hold until 20 February 2012. Trijnstel 22:17, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Amqui@iu.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Good day, I'm requesting temporary admin on iu.wiki in order to do some maintenance including deleting a lot of pages because of pages' moving and editing protected pages. There is two bureaucrats/admins on iu.wiki, but both are inactive since 2006 and one of them specifically says on his user page that he's not admin ([1]). I already made several requests on the irc channel for global admin only for minor actions and both of the global admin and myself loose time in this process. I'm monitoring this wiki for vandalism almost on a daily basis. I'm already temporary admin on cr.wiki for the same purposes. I founded the Canadian Aboriginal Languages Wikipedia Coordination for the coordination and the monitoring of those small aboriginal wikis. My contributions on iu.wiki. Amqui 03:05, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-08-15. Please remember to translate the interface at translatewiki.net only and preferably upload images to Wikimedia Commons. To prolong your adminship, please come back a few days before the status expires or hold a local election if the community grows. Thanks. -- Avi 04:32, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

That was quick, thanks you. Amqui 04:40, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
General note
There is an ongoing discussion regarding the minimum number of votes and overall participation to promote users to bureaucrat at Talk:Bureaucrat#Minimum_number_of_votes. Users are encouraged to assist in the development of a policy that allows stewards to not decide on whether a promotion is valid or not. Thank you.

[edit] 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-at-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-privacy and #wikimedia-checkuser.

[edit] Jagro@cs.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Jagro has enough community support to be given checkuser access (pre-agreed threshold of at least 25 support votes and at least 4:1 support:oppose ratio has been reached). Tchoř 01:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Time2wait.svg On hold Until identified to the foundation. -- Avi 04:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
  • I confirmed my identity via e-mail. — Jagro 13:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Done Done. -- Mentifisto 14:19, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Postrach@cs.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Postrach has enough community support to be given checkuser access (pre-agreed threshold of at least 25 support votes and at least 4:1 support:oppose ratio has been reached). Tchoř 01:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

  • Time2wait.svg On hold Until identified to the foundation. -- Avi 04:35, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-l-at-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.

[edit] 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). Please post requests at the bottom of the section.

However, as the bureaucrats of a few wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a separate list of these specific wikis.

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

[edit] 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:
