Steward requests/Permissions
From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

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 Betawiki. 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-stewards IRC channel (web client). In emergencies only, type Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

[edit] Using this page
- 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) ~~~~ - 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]]").
- 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
[edit] Administrator access
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.

There are few votes, but the pool is open since 2 weeks, and the 2 sysops have supported it. Regards Hercule 09:16, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- This page don't exist. Please, show us a valid link. Thanks. Alex Pereira falaê 11:58, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
- This just seems weird - the community is fine with having an admin who does not speak the language? Odd. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 03:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, they agree with it. Is it forbidden ?
- I'm sysop and crat on wuu.wikipedia while I don't speak Wu, and there is also an admin/crat on wo.wikipedia who don't speak Wolof.
- --Hercule 09:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
- Given the small community should this be temp access? — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 16:26, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bureaucrat access
[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
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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] Removal of access
If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account. Please remember - should you have more than one flag - to state clearly which you wish to remove and which to retain.
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 -->
}}
[edit] sjc@enWikipedia
- Wiki: en.wikipedia.org (bureaucrats/sysops • listcrats • bot policy[no automatic approval])
- User: sjc (talk • edits • logs • global info | UserRights CentralAuth | email)
- Discussion: N/A: Requested by user (myself)
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] Amdf@mhr.wikipedia

- User: Amdf (talk • edits • logs • global info | UserRights CentralAuth | email)
- Discussion: Local voting page
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)

[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:
- Local or global bot status
- Other global rights, requests regarding global blocking, and requests regarding locking accounts
- URL blacklisting
- Requests for CheckUser information
- Changing your username on Meta
- Changing your username or usurping an account on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats
