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. Please note that the "temporary access" section was removed due to redundancy. Please add your request for temporary sysopship to the administrator section.

[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.
Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.
For stewards: Identification noticeboard.
[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.

(only it is begun)
I was the administrator in betawikiversity. Now the independent Russian section (http://ru.wikiversity.org) is created. I ask to grant to me the constant rights of the administrator that I can technically support the given project. In the beginning it is necessary to transfer the maintenance from betawikiversity in ru.wikiversity.org. And then to keep order and observance to rules. SergeyJ 02:49, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- I would like add to this proposition about temporary "ImportUpload" right to transfert more easier the 300 russian files from betawikiversity tou ru.wikiversity. Allow up to middle-december ?.Crochet.david 17:35, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
If it is not a part of the rights of the administrator, reallyI ask still the rights "ImportUpload" SergeyJ 17:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- Note: I would strongly object promoting this user permanent adminship since he has been (re)blocked 11 times on ruwiki. vvvt 13:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

- It is an individual question - why me pursue on ruwiki !? SergeyJ 14:10, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
-
-
- If the ru.wikiversity-community wants him, and is large enough to take the tools back if they wish it, ruwiki-history should not be important in the promotion. However, the question is if a new wiki has a stable enough community yet. Laaknor 14:17, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

- All basic participants participating in development beta wikiversiteta have supported me. Opening of RU Wikiversitet already means that the community is available. SergeyJ 14:44, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

- Discussion: Discussion for permanent admin status and Discussion for temporary admin status
I wish to apply for admin status on the Manx language wikipedia. We currently have no permanent admin on the project but we were informed that if we could get a vote from Alison as well as two other users we would be able to gain a permanent admin. The discussion for this proposal is listed as the first discussion in the template above. If we are still unable to obtain a permanent admin we have already had a vote on temporary admin status which can be seen at the second discussion listed above. Currently User:Shimmin Beg has temporary admin status until 16th November as part of an agreement between us, balancing on 6 months admin status for me, 6 months for him. But we in the community would be grateful if we could have a permanent admin. In the last few weeks we have seen a "flurry" of activity on the project and we feel it is necessary for us to be able to concentrate on managing this as well as maintaining pages, patrolling for vandalism, having the ability to delete nonsense pages, as well as general maintenance on the project. Kind regards, --MacTire02 13:06, 12 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] 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] 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
