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.

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.

Satpal Dandiwal@pa.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I am an admin on Punjabi Wikipedia but due to update some mediawiki pages I need Interface admin rights. There is only one interface admin on Punjabi Wikipedia as of now. The have posted on the VP as well about requesting these rights. Kindly give me "interface admin" rights. Thank you. - Satpal Dandiwal (talk) 05:38, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Satpal Dandiwal Hello, can you please enable H:2FA, which is a requirement for interface adminship?  On hold until that happens. Thanks, Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And until November 21 in any case. --Base (talk) 11:27, 15 November 2021 (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.

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.

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

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.

Rastrojo@eswikipedia

Status:    In progress

After a vote that took place in es.wikipedia on April of 2021, the community instituted a requirement for checkusers to respond, on a yearly basis, to at least a single request in the es.wikipedia Requests for checkuser page. See: [3] and [4].

As the es.wikipedia CU Rastrojo has not replied to any request in that space since October of 2020 ([5]) and has not provided any explanation or justification for this (and he is still an active editor [6]), it follows that his checkuser flag should be removed. Thanks. Ñ (talk) 16:54, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ñ Hello, my reading of the policy is that it requires a notification to the checkuser to be made, asking them to provide a justification. Failure to provide such justification can then be a reason to remove the permissions. As far as I can see, there's no such message on @Rastrojo's talk page. Martin Urbanec (talk) 23:51, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: admittedly, it is unclear to me how one would read the policy (w:es:WP:CU) under your particular light. That being said, I have opened a thread in the es.wikipedia Village Pump ([7]) so that the community, and the CU indeed, can reach consensus about the actual meaning of the policy. Ñ (talk) 04:06, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Martin Urbanec, as the author of the vote, I point out that the policy says that the withdrawal of the flag is administrative, that is, once the deadline has expired, the flag is automatically withdrawn in the same way as, by example, it's done with the oversight flag when the user doesn't use the account in more than a year, and the CU must justify the inactivity before the deadline. Regards Ruy (talk) 05:04, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ñ Thanks for starting the discussion thread. To answer the "how" question: It's simple, if a policy allows the CU to justify a period of inactivity, they need to know about it. Do we expect CUs to keep track on "days since last SPI investigated"? It's fair to expect people to know "it was roughly weeks ago/roughly months ago", but the exact deadline can be very easy to forget about. Second part of my reasoning is described below: the TLDR is "how should be the justification presented if not as a response to a talk page message/notification".
@Ruy My understanding of the word "administrative" was that it doesn't require an explicit consensus among the community members (as opposed to recalling a CU by a vote) rather than "happens automatically once the deadline passes". Thanks for clarifying. However, I still have a question about how this should work. What would be the expected way for a CU to provide the justification (if they have any)? If a notification was required (as I originally thought), such justification would have to be at the talk page (either directly, or at least linked from the notification thread). But that's clearly not the case here . So, what should we (the stewards) look for here?
Keep in mind the CU removal policy is ultimately evaluated by a steward, who needs to check all the conditions set by the policy were met (and certify that by performing the removal). It's important to note that the evaluating steward (in this case, me) doesn't need to speak Spanish or know eswiki customs. For me, and I believe for other non-Spanish stewards, it's quite easy to check a particular page (such as, talk page of the CU) using a machine translation tool. However, I can never reasonably certify "the justification was never presented anywhere on the Spanish Wikipedia" .
Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:41, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
