SRP

This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia projects which do not have a local permissions procedure.

Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • 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).
  • For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel. In emergencies, type !steward in the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type @steward for non-urgent help.

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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = <!-- such as en.wikibooks -->
 |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]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to sign a confidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also sign the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the Office.

Requests

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

See Administrator for information about this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Status:    In progress

Hello! We voted some months ago to have adminship for User:Theklan, User:KRLS and User:Xabier Cañas eta eu.wikisource, but I see now that we didn't ask for it here, as I can't do my regular admin stuff there. The discussion is here. Thanks! -Theklan (talk) 22:43, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I only see the previous discussion from 2018. Ruslik (talk) 06:03, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: You're right! But we didn't vote to have admins for one year and it seems that the decission wasn't implemented, as I need now some permits for deleting items and I can't. -Theklan (talk) 17:42, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It was, of course, implemented and your permission has already expired. Ruslik (talk) 13:32, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So... there are not admins again on euwikisource? When were the permissions expired and why? I haven't seen any message about this on euwikisource. -Theklan (talk) 23:46, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can look at your userrights log. Ruslik (talk) 12:32, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Kanashimi@zh.wikinews

Status:    In progress
Request for permanent interface adminship. After 2-week RFA process. --Xiplus (talk) 12:26, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Kanashimi: Hello, please confirm you have 2FA enabled on your account. Access cannot be granted for those who does not have 2FA enabled. — regards, Revi 08:46, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry that I don't have a mobile phone, and it seem the method shown in Help:Two-factor_authentication need a mobile phone to authenticate. Are there other methods to pass 2FA? --Kanashimi (talk) 12:17, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I found this on Google. — regards, Revi 13:03, 30 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access

See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Mopza@thwiki

Status:    Not done

Mopza has been elected as the CheckUser for Thai Wikipedia per local policy with 23/0/0 votes (all in favor). He has not yet signed his name in the Confidentiality Agreement, though I have requested him to do so. Thank you. --G(x) (talk) 08:43, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending on the candidate's signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions) and Wikimedia Foundation confirmation of the same. — regards, Revi 16:35, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: The vote does not meet the checkuser policy requirements on having at least 25-30 votes. This cannot be done IMHO. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 21:22, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What if they reopen the request for a week or two? Trijnsteltalk 23:07, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If local policy does allow such a thing then okay. A week ago two users got promoted to CU on thwiki and exceeded the mandatory minimum 25 votes. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:01, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@G(x): Is it an option to reopen this request so you can try to get more votes, required for the CU policy? Trijnsteltalk 19:31, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The local policy do not specify the fixed number, but make reference to "appointment by consensus" as per CU policy (which itself requires 25-30 affirmative votes). We are discussing the option whether to keep the vote open for a little bit longer (it has been opening for a month) or to close the nomination and reopen. Since the discussion has not formally been closed, I suggest putting the appointment on hold until the end of the month, after which we will report back whether we can gain enough affirmative votes or that we need to close the nomination and reopen. Thanks. --G(x) (talk) 02:15, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are 24 votes in affirmation (one made after the referral of appointment here), which is not likely to satisfy the requirement. Please close the request for now; we are discussing whether to reopen immediately following this or to suspend the new nomination for now (as per adminship renomination practice in Thai Wikipedia), and both options are not likely to result into the outcome in the near future. --G(x) (talk) 16:40, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, closed as Not done for now. Trijnsteltalk 20:30, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

Removal of access

  • If you're requesting the removal of your own permissions, make sure you're logged in to your 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 (see previous discussion on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, provide a link to the discussion, with a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. However, as bureaucrats of some wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a separate list of these specific wikis.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

Miscellaneous requests

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions
