Well, it's been a fun ride, but since I'm mostly inactive nowadays and there are plenty of active checkusers on en.wp, I don't really need the flag anymore. I'll probably reconsider when I come back, but I don't feel comfortable having the CheckUser flag on my account at the moment.

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: 

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

Administrator access

Steward requests/Permissions/Sysop-header

Kgbek@ky.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hi Kgbek, I can't read your language so I am not sure of the content on your talk page. Did you inform your community about your request, or if there is a vote? If so please kindly link them here, thanks! --Bencmq (talk) 02:32, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ushau97@dvwiki

Status:    On hold

Administrators have not been active for a long time. → Ushau 09:22, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ushau97, if you wish to apply for adminship, you need to inform the local community of your request (e.g. posting on a Request for Adminship page, or your Village Pump). (Comment: I notice that this project has 3 admins, 2 of them are bureaucrats. They all seem to be inactive) --Bencmq (talk) 02:30, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Bencmq, I have now applied for adminship in Dhivehi wikipedia rfa page. However, since no editors are active, I don't suppose I will be getting any votes in the near future. → Ushau 11:52, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 30 November. --Bencmq (talk) 12:43, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Simeondahl@da.wikiquote

Status:    On hold

I have in mind to stay active as a admin on this Wiki. Greetings 79.138.239.176 16:31, 21 November 2012 (UTC) Simeondahl (talk) 16:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

とある白い猫@tpi.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I'd like to request an extension of my existing sysop access (that recently expired). -- とある白い猫 chi? 00:15, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As the other main admin on tpi.wikipedia, I would like to second this request. Owing to my recent heavy workload, I'd missed a request from TASN asking me whether I'd like him to renew, which I did - so with respect, the fact he's expired is partially my fault. Thanks for the attention, Stewards :) BarkingFish (talk) 00:21, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please kindly inform your local community, and provide a link to that notice, thanks. --Bencmq (talk) 02:41, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

George Animal@kuwiktionary

Status:    Not done
I am a local administrator on ku.wikt.Local bureaucrats are almost inactive see here and here. Please promote. Thanks.If any questions then email me here--Thx in advance--George Animal —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.176.174.245 (talk) 20:13, 3 November 2012‎
Please, provide a link to the local discussion of this issue. Ruslik (talk) 18:27, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until at least 12 November. Trijnsteltalk 17:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To me the best solution would be removing current bureaucrats, I don't see a sufficient community to hold local 'crats. --Vituzzu (talk) 11:43, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In agreement with Vituzzi, v. low activity — billinghurst sDrewth 13:43, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that three votes is a sufficient number to promote a bureaucrat. Ruslik (talk) 19:42, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi
There are lots of active users for example the active users:Ferhengvan, Aza, Dûrzan, Gomada, EmrahÖ, etc but He disn't vote even though I said informed him (Ferhengvan)--85.176.139.229 19:48, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know why they don't want to vote--85.176.139.229 19:53, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree with Vituzzi that we probably should just remove the two existing crats. MBisanz talk 23:35, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You'd probably need to propose that locally. I don't think policy allows removal of unused bureaucrat rights without community approval. Who's Vituzzi? :) Jafeluv (talk) 13:07, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have reminded both inactive bureaucrats if they are still interested in being bureaucrats. If no response, both of them will be locally proposed for de-flagging. Meanwhile, I do not consider this wiki big enough to have its own bureaucrat yet.--Jusjih (talk) 09:35, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not done 2 active admins means no need for 'crats and far too small of a community to appoint one. If the current crats are inactive, stewards are empowered to act as local 'crats as they do on wikis without 'crats; Vituzzi = User:Vituzzu with a typo; local communities can draft policy to have inactive 'crats removed, it's their wiki and up to them. Snowolf How can I help? 00:06, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Luk@enwiki

Status:    In progress

Well, it's been a fun ride, but since I'm mostly inactive nowadays and there are plenty of active checkusers on en.wp, I don't really need the flag anymore. I'll probably reconsider when I come back, but I don't feel comfortable having the CheckUser flag on my account at the moment. See you soon! -- lucasbfr talk 09:21, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or, for requests regarding English Wikipedia email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org. 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.

Removal of access

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

Hosiryuhosi@jawiki

Status:    Not done

Please remove my sysop and bureaucrat access on Japanese wikipedia. I retire to Japanese Wikipedia. Thanks. --Hosiryuhosi (talk) 19:01, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note Note: A heated discussion over policy interpretations several hours ago seemed to prompt him to request this. Although his will should be respected, I would suggest to have a short cool-down period for him to reconsider if he truly wants it. Regardless, thank you for your hard work, Hosiryuhosi. --whym (talk) 23:54, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to withdraw the this request. Sorry for taking your time. --Hosiryuhosi (talk) 18:58, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No apologies necessary; we're pleased you decided to reconsider! Best wishes, PeterSymonds (talk) 21:08, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Theopolisme@wikidata

Hi — please remove the translation admin flags from my account; they're causing incredible slowness in general (maybe I should just get a better computer)...regardless, I'll just have to put in requests manually. Thanks much, Theopolisme talk! 20:42, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Snowolf How can I help? 23:59, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

User:arjunaraoc@te.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I would like to apply for importer rights for in order to import templates from the English wikipedia and sister projects.--Arjunaraoc (talk) 17:25, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stewards prefer to allocate transwiki import rights rather then import rights, and for tewiki I do not see that there are transwiki rights set up in the initialisation. We addressed this in the previous section, and would encourage you to follow Strainu's lead for your wiki. Putting this  On hold — billinghurst sDrewth 07:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
