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.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Temporary permissions | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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= 
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
  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"). 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]]").
  3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

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.

Alifshinobi@thwiktionary

Status:    In progress

Thai Wiktionary need an active user to be an admin --Watcharakorn 13:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I agree that th.wikt needs an active admin. The voting started today, and I would therefore suggest either: to keep it open at least a week to grant others to vote there, or if the community is too small for votings (looking at the recent changes this seems to be the case) we could grant him a temporary sysop access for 3 months (note this is technically the same, he just drops us a note here a few days before the status expires to prolong it). Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 13:58, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Esmaeil@mzn.wp

Status:    In progress

Permanent Sysop access, Discussed and community consensus gained.
Currently Sysop, Please delete it from temporary permissions page.
Thank you! Ali 15:36, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

His status had been extended to April 2009 Steward_requests/Permissions/Approved_temporary#mzn.wikipedia (permalink), I'd suggest to look into this then, he has only 3 votes in favor and looking at the rc the wiki seems to have a small community. I would be open to extend his sysopship in April 2009 to a permanent status. Other opinions are welcomed, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 21:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
He has been as admin for about one year, I thought Stewards are confident about him --Ali 07:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, a temporary status is not given, because we are not confident, but because of too small or not existant local votings as some sort of quality control which is normally achived through votings by the local community. The reason is, that in growing communities there are often disputes and envy between sysops who had to go through a full election process and sysops basically appointed by stewards.
He had been granted (an unusally long) period of temporary sysopship, and I would suggest to review it when this period ends, what do You think? Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 11:49, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

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 regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. 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-ownerlists.wikimedia.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.

Checkusers@ptwikinews

Status:    In progress

In accordance with this votation, please grant the checkuser access for users below:

Thanks Sir Lestaty discuţie 08:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done for the two that have already identified. Once Carlosar identifies, we can promote him as well. --FiliP × 08:09, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Dung's :D Sir Lestaty discuţie 08:11, 4 November 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 on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link 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.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). 

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

Richardcavell@wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Thank you! 210.50.83.248 09:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions or emergency or technical access

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should 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 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.

فیروز / Firuz @ mzn.wp

Status:    In progress

Currently on discussion, But Temporary access is neccessary (at least two monthes), One of the reasons is localization into his own dialect.
Thank you! Ali 15:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ali, please note that localizations of the interface should only be done at betawiki:, if someone wishes to help translating please register an account there and follow the steps in betawiki:Translating:How to start, many thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 15:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK! I'll tell him about it, But admin's rights would be still neccessary (to better reviewing his actions). I continued this talk into your page. Thank you for your remind --Ali 16:41, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, yes, please tell him, it is really important to have the translations there, or they will never be available in other projects. If there had been lots of translations done locally already, they can be imported to betawiki and modified there, that can be arranged.
I would suggest a 3 months temporary sysop period on mzn.wiki to start then, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 21:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So if import is possible, Why i didn't saw the current translations in betawiki? Or please import the current translated messages. Anyways, That would be really great for us if you grant 3 monthes adminship for him, We would appreciate it! --Ali 07:25, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
@Betawiki: They import only on request (of course because they can't know where to import from), please request this at betawiki:Import requests if there are many translations locally on mzn.wiki already, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 11:17, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Request was made by me @ Betawiki --Mardetanha talk 11:37, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
