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.

Using this page [edit]

  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.

Confirmation of identity [edit]

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.


For communities, please note that the following discussion is open for comment It is currently proposed that the RFC will be closed from the 21 May 2013


Requests [edit]

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 [edit]

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/Miscellaneous.

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.

Санюн Вадик@mhr-wikipedia [edit]

Status:    Done
Time2wait.svg On hold until 18 May 2013. Ruslik (talk) 15:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2013-08-18. 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. Ruslik (talk) 12:26, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok. Thank you. I start to work. --Санюн Вадик (talk) 12:52, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Alexander Mikhalenko@ru-wikiversity [edit]

Status:    In progress

Voting has ended. Our bureaucrat is not elected (see below), so I ask for rights of admin here. Alexander Mikhalenko (talk) 10:34, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Why are you blocked in ruwiki for vandalism? Ruslik (talk) 16:52, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
What it is related to ru.wikiversity? On how many I remember problems in other communities shouldn't be considered. I know this situation, there the person systematically finished and he emotionally didn't sustain, but why we have to consider it? --SergeyJ (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
It is not just a problem in one community. It is just plain vandalism. I do not think a vandal can be a sysop in any Wikimedia project. Ruslik (talk) 18:29, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
What is vandalism? This is the person much and well writes about German. And that that at it once wasn't sustained by nerves - I don't think that this basis to call him the vandal --SergeyJ (talk) 18:32, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
The same person will be awarded by ruwikimedia as the most active participant wikiversity [1]. --SergeyJ (talk) 18:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Why can not a vandal be awarded a ru.wikimedia prize? Especially since you plainly told them to whom it should be awarded.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:52, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Perhaps but for this reason he isn't a vandal, and the good participant. --SergeyJ (talk) 18:55, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
The last two blocks sound like a rage quit, apparently he was not really happy and wanted to get his account locked. The first one is indeed more difficult to explain, this is plain vandalism as a retaliation for smth.--Ymblanter (talk) 18:54, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I also say that it is emotional failure, instead of systematic occupation by vandalism just for the hell of it. It explained that it had problems in life and here it yet didn't understand - he simply took offense then. (Я и говорю, что это эмоциональный срыв, а не планамерное занятие вандализмом ради удовольствия. Он пояснял, что у него были проблемы в жизни и тут его еще не поняли - он просто обидился тогда. ) --SergeyJ (talk) 18:58, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I'll be honest, I'm not exactly understanding what this ruwikimedia prize is or how it is relevant to this request. From what I understand, this user has no less than an indefinite block for vandalism on ruwiki with talk page access revoked, which is obviously a concern and perhaps the user should explain the circumstances that led to the block and what it's all about. Also, could anybody kindle explain whate these two blocks that "sound like a rage quit" are? Are we talking about the last two entry on the block log on ruwiki? Snowolf How can I help? 19:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I was talking about the last two entries. Apparently, the user wanted to get blocked but nobody wanted to block him, so that he decided to vandalize articles so that he finally gets blocked (and succeeded). Note that I have no position or no interest of either having or not having this user as admin on ru.wv, frankly, I do not care about this project. I am just talking as someone who reads Russian and is somewhat familiar with the practices of ru.wp.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:37, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I understand that and it is much appreciated. Yeah that really is unacceptable from administrators, especially given how recent it is and how if one ragequits by vandalism once, they might very well ragequit that way twice by using their admin tools. Let's see what explanation the user has for these disturbing events. Snowolf How can I help? 19:44, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
I didn't want to be blocked at first. And the first blocking was not for me. My account was available to two people - it belonged to me and my roommate. The account was created not by me. I usurped it in the Russian Wikipedia and renamed an account "Alexander Hoffmann" to "Alexander Mikhalenko". The second blocking was made through my fault. I really had problems in my personal life, other users in the Russian Wikipedia began to criticize me because of small defects in my articles. Then one of administrators removed two pages in my personal space. He decided that these pages violate Wikipedia rules. Actually these pages contained information on me and on my activity in Wikipedia. Many users have such subpages. It very angered me. I recognize that I arrived incorrectly and sometime I will be rehabilitated in Wikipedia. During an award ceremony which you already discussed I will publicly ask forgiveness for users. I never planned to undermine activity of projects of Wikimedia Foundation. I promise that I will never make vandal editings and I will never trade on the status of the administrator. You said that I wanted to be blocked. It partly truth. After blocking I told thanks on the personal page. I thought that I will never return back. Later more than half a year a lot of things changed. I understood that was too quick-tempered. I think that former sins which I realized shouldn't influence my wiki-career in the future (you shouldn't take the word "career" literally). There are in the Wikiversity few active users, but there are many anonymous vandals. And one administrator doesn't manage to eliminate a consequence of their vandalism. I want to help to the actual administrator. Alexander Mikhalenko (talk) 02:44, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Hunsvotti@fi-wiktionary [edit]

Status:    Locally handled

I'm an administrator at the Finnish Wiktionary (fi.wiktionary.org), and User:Hunsvotti was approved as administrator, 100 % support. He should be given the administrator rights (voting has ended). Our local bureaucrat is not available on short notice, so I decided to ask for the rights here and the local bureaucrat will make the rights permanent when he'll be available (I'll leave a message on his talk page ASAP). Please, ask for clarification/elaboration if necessary. --Hartz (talk) 15:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Can you please send an email and a talk page note to TJ first? We have granted in the past rights on wikis with bureaucrats if they're inactive (no problems with that) but I'd preferr if we gave him a couple of days to respond to see if our intervention is necessary. I'd propose to set this on hold for 48 hours and, if there's no action by TJ; flag the user as the vote looks valid. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I thought that it would be quicker to request the rights here, but I have now sent an email and a talk page note to TJ. --Hartz (talk) 16:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. If (s)he doesn't respond, we will promote. Regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:07, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
Done. This request can be closed. --Hartz (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Closed request: taken care of by local 'crat. Thanks, Mathonius (talk) 18:31, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Bjarki S@is.wikisource [edit]

Status:    In progress

Hey. I requested administrator privileges on is.wikisource in January and got local support from the local community. The request was closed by giving me three month temporary adminship that expired on 19 April. For the record I think should have gotten a permanent adminship but if the stewards disagree, then I would like an extension of the temporary adminship. Bjarki S (talk) 14:03, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Place a new request locally and link to it here. -- Tegel (Talk) 14:12, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Bjarki S, to elaborate what Tegel said above, please put a new request on is.wikisource announcing that your temporary adminship has expired, and you now seek for permanent adminship. Then, if in a week your request has been approved by the community, come back here and put a new request again, we would be happy to grant you permanent adminship in is.wikisource. Right you, you only linked to the vote for your previous request, therefore it's not sufficient. We'll be waiting for your successful nomination soon. ✒ Bennylin 12:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
PS: You can quickly create a new announcement/voting in is.wikisource and link it here, or if no action is taken within the next day, your request shall be archived for now, and you can submit another request as soon as you have the nomination done. Thanks. ✒ Bennylin 12:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Olsi@sq.wikinews [edit]

Status:    In progress

Hi! I have been administrator on sq.wikinews from July 3, 2011 to January 3, 2012 and from January 6 2012 to January 6 2013. I want to become an administrator because I am going to write new articles there and I need administrator tools to protect published articles. I posted a notice on the village pump last week and there are no objections yet! --Olsi (talk) 21:20, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

To note that it seems this was proposed by the known abusor Google9999 at sq:Përdoruesi_diskutim:Olsi#Administrator_on_sq_Wikinews. Nevertheless I have no objection on this request, knowing Olsi's long-term commitment to this project; but won't decide it. --MF-W 13:59, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access [edit]

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/2010-02#Minimum number of votes (see also this RFC). 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.


CheckUser access [edit]

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.
None currently

Teles@ptwikipedia [edit]

Status:    Done

Teles was elect checkuser in ptwiki, according voting (25/01/0) (already identified). Thanks in advance. Érico Wouters msg 00:56, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done. -- Mentifisto 01:00, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Oversight access [edit]

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or, for requests regarding English Wikipedia email oversight-en-wp-at-wikipedia.org. 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.

XenonX3@dewiki [edit]

Status:    Done

Can you please grant XenonX3 oversight access to German Wikipedia according to the past elections, as soon as he has been identified to the foundation, please? He’s sending the identification information now. --– Geitost diskusjon 23:02, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you. :-) --– Geitost diskusjon 09:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Removal of access [edit]

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.

Miscellaneous requests [edit]

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted on most wikis 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:
