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-->

Handled issues.

At http://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions there are many users who have had a request for admin rights open for at least 7 days. These are (as of 06:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)):

  • User:Guerillero
  • User:Yair rand
  • User:Pigsonthewing
  • User:Wiki13
  • User:SarahStierch
  • User:Yiyi
  • User:Superzerocool
  • User:Romaine
  • User:Hazard-SJ (note: lacks strong support in the discussion: 3 support, 1 oppose)
  • User:Stryn
  • User:ShinePhantom
  • User:Hydriz
  • User:Sannita
  • User:Restu20
  • User:Magalhães (note: lacks sufficient participation in the discussion: only 2 users)
  • User:Tpt
  • User:Merlissimo
  • User:Sebleouf
  • User:Raymond
  • User:Emijrp
  • User:Wagino 20100516 (note: lacks sufficient participation in the discussion: only 3 users)
  • User:Arkanosis
  • User:Jitrixis (note: minor opposition: 9 support, 2 oppose)
  • User:Seewolf
  • User:Kondicherry (note: lacks sufficient participation in the discussion: only 2 users)
  • User:Zanka
  • User:Benoit Rochon
  • User:Hoo man
  • User:Sven Manguard

A strong consensus has formed at http://wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Administrators#Reconfirmation_for_initial_wave_of_admins that these admin rights should be reconfirmed in 3 months' time. However, since there is a large community active at Wikidata, I would expect the project to handle this reconfirmation internally. I don't believe the formal "temporary sysop" procedure needs to be followed in this case.

I will leave it to stewards to select which users have enough support to be promoted. This, that and the other (talk) 06:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have modified the format of this request, moving this text down. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Request for further requests. Please do use the required format for this page next time. The domain for the template is wikidata. Thanks. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:38, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I added some more using the required format:
  • User:Michiel1972
  • User:Leag
  • User:Lomita
  • User:TBloemink
  • User:Jdforrester
  • User:Grondin
  • User:Skull33
  • User:Koavf
  • User:Vituzzu 10:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • User:Ajraddatz 10:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • User:Conny 10:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • User:Jasper Deng 10:44, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
  • User:Danny B. 06:29, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
But I did not use permanent links like you did, because more votes may be added before the requests are decided. This, that and the other (talk) 06:47, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have collapsed the above because they are resolved issues (and the page looks nicer now). Feel free to post below this message if you have furter questions or issues. Best regards. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:53, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

George Animal@kuwiktionary

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 activitybillinghurst 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]

आशीष_भटनागर@hi.wikipedia

  • Kindly refer my sysops request above on the same page. In this regard I would also like to remind that I was elected Bureaucrat on 16 June, 2010 & have been on the post with responsibility till then. This election was with consensus & can be seen on this Archive page. So I request you to please restore the Bureaucrat position rights for me, so that hi.wikipedia also has its one local Bureaucrat & everybody or anybody has no need to call up the stewards for the matters, that can be resolved there and then. --Ashish Bhatnagartalk 15:16, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(Copied from above) According to RfC related to user-rights on Hindi Wikipedia, no one can be assigned bureaucrat privilege for a year on Hindi Wikipedia and all assignments of admin flags will be considered by stewards only.--Bill william compton (talk) 14:08, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Bureaucrat positions in hiwiki were eliminated in the above mentioned RFC. Ruslik (talk) 13:59, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

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>

Brion VIBBER@hiwiki

Request for removal of a sysop flag of aforementioned user from Hindi Wikipedia. User has not made any edits or performed any admin action in the last year. --Bill william compton (talk) 14:05, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note Note: Brion VIBBER is a developer and assigned the rights to himself in November 2011 ("fixing SSL references on hiwiki"). Trijnsteltalk 19:51, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have had this idea but the community asked me to nominate all the inactive admins. If they are still interested in retaining this flag then it would be much better if they make an local announcement.--Bill william compton (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, 2011. He obviously simply forgot to remove it after the task was done. Btw., doesn't he have sysoprights with his staff account anyway? Cheers, —DerHexer (Talk) 00:15, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes he would do, this is clearly just a simple forgot to remove and I believe it's uncontroversial to remove the rights - he can always add them back on if he needs them! Thehelpfulone 00:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. I'll make sure that Brion is aware. Philippe (WMF) (talk) 00:44, 12 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 holdbillinghurst sDrewth 07:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
