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:    On hold

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)
Time2wait.svg On hold until 15 February 2012 as a discussion is started here. Trijnstel 22:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Simbu123@as.wikipedia.org

Status:    Done

As the Assamese Wikipedia is growing with an infusion of new editors, increased activity and expanding scope, we require more personnel with administrative access to meet the needs of an expanding community and Wikipedia. The community has held a vote to give as:user:Simbu123 administrator access. The voting began on February 05, 2012 and concluded on February 12, 2012 with 12 YES and 0 NO votes. I request that as:user:Simbu123 be given administrator access. Thanks. Chaipau 01:43, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Done, and since the community size is sufficiently large, this is a permanent appointment. PeterSymonds (talk) 01:54, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Maksat@kywiki

Status:    Done

As the Kyrgyz Wikipedia is growing with an increased activity, we require more personnel with administrative access to meet the needs of an expanding community and Wikipedia. The requests for adminship held a vote to give ky:user:Maksat administrator access. The voting began 5 months ago with 3 YES and 0 NO votes. I request that ky:user:Maksat be given administrator access. Thanks. --Википедия 07:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-08-12. PeterSymonds (talk) 16:28, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Tynchtyk Chorotegin@kywiki

Status:    Done

As the Kyrgyz Wikipedia is growing with an increased activity, we require more personnel with administrative access to meet the needs of an expanding community and Wikipedia. The requests for adminship held a vote to give ky:user:Tynchtyk Chorotegin administrator access. The voting began December 21, 2011 with 3 YES and 0 NO votes. I request that ky:user:Tynchtyk Chorotegin be given administrator access. --Википедия 07:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-08-12. -- PeterSymonds (talk) 16:21, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] User Arnaugir@cawikiquote

Status:    Done

Please give, to this user (Arnaugir) the right of sysop and of bureaucrat. The project was dead and a new comunauty wants to give it a new life. We need new sysops and bureacrat on this project. Thank's.  Bertrand GRONDIN  → (Talk) 16:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-08-12. This is for adminship only, to expire in six months. However, bureaucrats are only appointed when the community is sufficiently large and established. It's hard to put a firm number, but usually between 10 and 15 votes are needed in favour, from people active on the project. In this case, most users are not active on cawikiquote, but on other wikis; so until the community grows, please direct bureaucrat requests to Steward requests. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:17, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] mvkulkarni23@mrwikisource

Status:    Done

As I am in process of setting up the newly granted portal of Marathi wiki source . For setup and maintenance I request you to please grant me the temporary sysop flag which is needed to setup the portal. I am already admin on mr.wikipedia . Need the access for 6 months, so that by that time the portal and community will also develop and we can select regular admin. Thanks mvkulkarni23 23:14, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Did you start a local discussion about that ? Count you please link to it ? -- Quentinv57 (talk) 17:49, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, we are team of @10 members who are working on this. You can just check the actvities on Marathi Wikisource over here. http://mr.wikisource.org/wiki/%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B6%E0%A5%87%E0%A4%B7:%E0%A4%85%E0%A4%B2%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%A1%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B2_%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%A6%E0%A4%B2. Mvkulkarni23 17:56, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Understood. However, in order for a temporary admin bit to be given, there must be a discussion on the local project with enough time (usually a week) for supports, oppositions, and discussions to be had. Please create such a discussion, link to it here, and if after a week or so there is no opposition, the temporary bit can be given. -- Avi 17:59, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
To be precise, I am working with Rahul Deshmukh on this. He has received the access yesterday. Pls. check above listing. We would be following the above procesure once the Marathi Wikisource is estanlished a bit. At that time, I will ask for the permanant access. That is why I need temp. sysop access...Mvkulkarni23 18:04, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2012-05-12. 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. -- Trijnstel 18:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC
Thank you so much Trijnstel and Avi .... Mvkulkarni23 18:42, 12 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)

[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] Rastrojo@eswiki

Status:    Done

User has been elected CU at eswiki, however, the request will have to be on hold until identification is recieved. Greetings. Jcaraballo 21:51, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Time2wait.svg On hold pending identification. Trijnstel 21:57, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
Done. PeterSymonds (talk) 00:39, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Edmenb@eswiki

Status:    Done

User has been elected CU at eswiki, however, the request will have to be on hold until identification is recieved. Greetings.--Jcaraballo 17:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Time2wait.svg On hold pending identification. Trijnstel 20:27, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Done. PeterSymonds (talk) 00:41, 12 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 -->

[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:

[edit] See also

Requests for: permissions (global) — bot status — CheckUser information (local) — deletion (speedy deletions: local | multilingual) — translation — logos — URL blacklisting — username changes (local) — SUL problem solving — new languages — adminship on Meta — comments — interwiki map — an account on WMF wiki — help from a Meta sysop or bureaucrat
