This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. If your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.
Please note that interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community.

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

Snillet@svwikibooks

I request sysop access.

  • Language Code: sv
  • Local Request Link: [1]
  • Automatic List of local bureaucrats: [2] (none active)
  • Local User Page: [3]

If that could be possible? /Snillet 16:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, please let your RfA to run at least for a week before requesting it here. MaxSem 18:37, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. 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@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

Stewards: When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Meursault2004 and Hayabusa future@id wikipedia

I request oversight access for Meursault2004 and Hayabusa future at id.wikipedia.

Thank you. ~Rex••message•• 00:45, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact User:Bastique (Cary Bass) to provide identification in compliance with this policy; unfortunately we can't give out oversight rights until this has been done. — Dan | talk 01:15, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Request regarding this procedure had been emailed to User:Bastique. ~Rex
These fellows are already checkusers (I think--my Indonesian is rusty), and therefore have already identified. Cary Bass demandez 04:06, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I've just confirmed that they've sent required information to the Foundation for the checkuser access. ~Rex••message•• 04:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, good point. Both Done. — Dan | talk 17:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How can this be done!? I've found that both the elections are not closed yet! --Edmund the King of the Woods! 18:11, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They have both run for a week, and both have over 30 users supporting (the traditional minimum) and 2-3 opposing -- I'd say the consensus is clearly in their favor. — Dan | talk 18:16, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Meursault2004 00:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the access! (And we still have one more in progress) ^^ ~Rex••message•• 03:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

borgx@id wikipedia

I request oversight access for my self at id.wikipedia

Thanks (I have submit my personal identification to meta due to checkuser requirements). Borgx 02:19, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support as the community approval. Borgx is the most active id's WikiGnome ever. ^^ ~Rex••talk•• 12:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Borgx submitted his personal information for checkuser purposes, therefore he has already identified. Cary Bass demandez 14:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well what more do you need? Meursault2004 19:51, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept 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 very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request removal of access.

*'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' [[:xx:Project:wiki]]

Alison@gdwiktionary / Scots Gaelic Wiktionary

I request sysop access.

Hi. I'm Alison, aka w:en:User:Alison, sysop from the English Wikipedia and Irish Gaelic Wiktionary. I have had temporary sysop status on the Scots Gaelic Wiktionary for the last three months but it is now due to expire. There is currently no active community there and I remain the only local sysop on that wiki. I obtained temporary access on the Irish wiktionary at the same time but turned my focus towards rehabilitating that and turning it into a living wiki with a community. This has now succeeded and I passed my RfA last month :) Similar to this experience, I'd like to remain on as sysop at gdwiktionary in the hope of reviving the wiki, translating and stabilizing the MediaWiki localization for Scots Gaelic and encouraging people to contribute. I've already done some translation work, updated MediaWiki messages, set up some bots and tidied up some of the few articles that are up there. There is still a lot of work left to do.

Best regards - Alison 09:46, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison,
First of all, thanks a lot for your work. However, permanent sysop access is only granted after RfA/consensus by the local community. I think that the best we can do here is give another three months temp access. I certainly hope that you gdwikt will grow, so your RfA will succees by then :) (granted temporary access for another three months, expires february 10, 2008) BR, Effeietsanders 11:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That will be just perfect! Thank you so much :) This should give me enough time to get things properly rolling over there. Míle buíochas! - Alison 14:07, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ajsmen91@pl Wikipedia

Walton One@en Wikipedia

I request removal of administrator access on the English Wikipedia, as I have chosen to resign the position of sysop.

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. 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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request temporary sysop access.

*'''List of local sysops:''' 
*'''List of local bureaucrats:''' 
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

I request temporary sysop access.

  • Language Code: lbe
  • List of local sysops: none
  • List of local bureaucrats: none
  • Local User Page: lbe:User:Yaroslav_Blanter
  • Preferred duration and reason: 1 month for making current admin tasks like deleting spam and helping about interface etc.

Thank you. --Yaroslav Blanter 11:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not done There are a few other active users on that wiki. I suggest you set up a requests for adminship page instead and apply there for normal adminship. Angela 14:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It'd be hardly useful, because Mr. Blanter is not a native speaker of Lak. We'd like to have one of us, ru.wiki-activists, a temporary admin there till we prepare some active people from the Lak community, who would elect an admin between themselves. Slavik IVANOV 18:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)
