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 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

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 on-wiki approval of your local community.

Using this page

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 (or other means of confirming that the request has approval), and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Thank you. ~~~~

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 receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

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


Al_Silonov@ukwiktionary, Ahonc@ukwiktionary

I request sysop access for the above local editor.

Hi, please contact the local crat first wikt:uk:User:Minia, he was active this month, maybe write him an email to speed up the request, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:26, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, I am sorry, but if the local crat decides not to grant the sysopship, we won't do it. If Your community is not happy with the crat You can think about a vote to remove him. Normally a crat has to carry out what the communities decision is, even if the community is small. A crat is not the boss, even if he says so on his userpage. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 21:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moilleadóir@gawiktionary

I request sysop access for the above local editor.

This editor is a long-term and highly prolific contributor to the Irish language Wiktionary. The above link is to his local RFA, which has now gone over time with 100% support. As the only active sysop there, I can state that we badly need another sysop and Moilleadóir has the full support of our small community. Go raibh míle maith agaibh! :) - Alison ❤ 17:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Thogo (talk) 17:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you!! - Alison ❤ 17:43, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Viskonsas@bowikipedia

I request sysop access.

  • Language Code: bo
  • Local Request Link: none
  • Automatic List of local bureaucrats: here
  • Local User Page: bo:User:Viskonsas

There are no active sysops in Tibetan Wikipedia and I would need sysop rights for deleting bad files, editing MetaWiki, etc... Thank you. --Visconsus 19:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, sorry but permanent sysopship is not granted without a community vote. You speak no Tibetian so also I wonder why You would want to edit MediaWiki files, if You want to translate please do it at betawiki: only.
There are other users active on this wiki, so there is no reason not to make also a local request. Maybe also it is better to have a native or someone capable of speaking some being sysop. Thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 20:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To say the truth, there are only 3 active users in Tibetan wiki including me (and only one of them can speak Tibetan). And I would also appreciate if I got temporary sysopship - then You could see whether I'm worth being sysop or not. But I respect Your decision. --Visconsus 08:25, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if this is so, please make a local request, to let the other users speak, please leave it open for at least a week and if there are no objections from the local users we could offer You a temporary sysop period. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 09:34, 13 April 2008 (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. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. 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.

Gribeco@frwiki

Hello, I request checkuser access for Gribeco, nominated according WMF policies by local arbitration committee, when his identity will be communicated to the foundation. --Dereckson 08:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For reference [1] shows there are 6 checkusers already so there is no need for pairing. ++Lar: t/c 22:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

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. You should add the difflink of your local confirmation edit to the request.

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.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision-->
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Sebcaen@fr Wikipedia

Removal of sysop rights. Reason: More than 6 months of inactivity. Same reason as some previous requests A few months ago.

Thanks in advance. Poppy 23:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Malay Wikipedia

I request desysopping of my account in Malay Wikipedia. I want to slow down my activity in Wikipedia to spend more time in my real life.

Thank you. Polar 15:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done

--M/ 16:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keene@enwiktionary

Just a note for the record, I emergency-desysoped wikt:en:User:Keene, who deleted the mainpage on en.wiktionary, after being notified about that in IRC.
Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 16:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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. If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Multilingual speedy deletions.

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 list of sysops and bureaucrats, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request. 

==== Username@language-code project-name ====

Thank you. ~~~~



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.)
