This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight access, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. If your wiki has a bureaucrat, please use the relevant local request page instead.

This page is not intended for permissions debates; please only make a request here after gaining the approval of your local community. For urgent access requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, you may contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards IRC channel (see also a web-based version). If you are in urgent need of assistance, and only in that situation, enter the command !steward in this channel to ask us for help

Requests for steward assistance which do not belong on this page include requests for bot status, spam whitelist/blacklist requests, and requests for CheckUser queries.

When requesting permissions, please copy and paste the following boilerplate text, filling in the three required items (language code, link to local request, link to local userpage) as well as any other salient information. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community. 

==== Project name ====

I request sysop access on ''xx.wiki??'':

*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''Local Request Link:''' [[xx:Project:wiki??]]
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Please also add this if you request this to stay sysop instead of becoming one; 

I have currently already temporary granted sysop status on this wiki.

Oversight requests

At present, this is only available on the English Wikipedia.

Note to Stewards: When you give someone Oversight, please list them on Hiding revisions. Thanks.

Note to those requesting Oversight: Do not initiate an Oversight request here; this is where the Arbitration Committee makes usergroup membership requests once they have agreed to give someone Oversight access. Thanks.


CheckUser requests

To ask for a steward to answer one of your requests, see Request for CheckUser information.

Note to Stewards:When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving this status. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser. Thanks.

Any checkuser request made in a different section than this one will not be considered.

According to policy, there is no TEMPORARY status of checkuser. Either there are already checkuser on a project and these people must be asked to do the checkuser. Or there is nobody and a steward must do it. Giving a temporary status to anyone just simply asking it to a steward, with no agreement from the local community is against the checkuser status rules. Giving it with no request mentioned anywhere is even more problematic. Breaching these rules should imply removing the status of the steward if he can not be trusted to follow commonly accepted rules. If any one has a problem with this rule and wish that from now on, checkuser status be given to anyone without any community discussion, he must have the current rules changed, not breach them. Thanks Anthere 03:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: When giving someone checkuser, please (a) ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l and (b) email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list. (The list may contain confidential information.) - David Gerard 15:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apology: No-one's been adding new people to checkuser-l for a while. (Kelly Martin was but she's taking a longish break.) I'm going to try to clear the backlog this weekend. My sincere apologies for this, and I'll try to keep up with list requests in future. (It's really not a very interesting or active list, so you're not missing much ;-) - David Gerard 19:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Wiktionary

fi.wiktionary

The Finnish wiktionary requests CheckUser status. I apologize that this request is a bit verbous and detailed, but I try to explain the reason behind the length of this request.

Background
Fi.wiktionary has pbeen pested by a devouted vandal (Levykevandaali), who has vandalized all Finnish language Wikimedia project: Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikiquote, Wikisource, and Wiktionary. In fi.wikipedia, where I am an admin, the only workable solution has been the use of CheckUser information – quickly (asking help from stewards would be too slow to be effective).
Stage 1 – suggestion
Knowing the situation in fi.wikipedia, I suggested that we apply for CheckUsership in fi.wiktionary Village pump, "Kahvihuone". The result of the poll was 12 in favour, 0 against. [1] Already at this point we knew that there aren't 25 of us, which is the reason for all this explaining. That is why I asked this question: Talk:CheckUser policy#CheckUser with greater consensus, less voters.
Stage 2 – voting
An approval voting lasting for 2 weeks was arranged to select 2–3 CheckUsers [2]. To be approved, one would have to get 75 % approval and one was not allowed to vote for oneself or put oneself forward as a candidate. It was also agreed unanimously that the community would ask for CheckUsership even if 25 votes wasn't cast.
If more than 3 people was to get more than 75 % approval, clear rules were set on how to resolve the order of candidates.
Stage 3 – results
15 people turned up to vote. Only three active users (two weren't active during this period) did not vote. The results are as follows [3]:
  User For Against Approval rate (abstained) (approval among all who voted for any candidate)
1. Hartz 11 0 100 % 3 79 %
1. Samulili 11 0 100 % 3 79 %
3. Aulis Eskola 9 0 100 % 5 64 %
4. Skorpion87 5 4 56 % 5 36 %
Request for permission
We are painfully aware that the formal limit for approval is set to 25 votes. However, we ask that you consider the logic behind this number, rather than the number itself. On the talk page [4] Anthere explained the logic: "CheckUser is an important stuff, it is important that the tool is not given by anyone asking for it and supported by his 3 buddies." No one can disagree with this. But one can ask, whether the limit should be at 25 or maybe lower. Grin suggested 10 users (ibid.). The discussion on the number of votes stopped there and I'm not sure if it has been discussed anywhere else.
Another uncontestable argument put forward by anthere was the size, and maybe age, maturity, of a project. Fi.wiktionary is the 12th largest wiktionary project which has dedicated and experienced users.
In the light of all of the above, the community of fi.wiktionary asks the stewards of Wikimedia to consider giving Hartz, Samulili and Aulis Eskola CheckUser privileges. Sincerely, Samulili 21:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Given the explanation reported by Samulili, I'm personally for granting the requested C.U. flags. Should this not happen, I remind fi.wiktionary people that on-line stewards can be quickly contacted via the dedicated IRC channel. --Paginazero - Ø 11:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done It's ok for me as well. I've ganted the CU status as requested. --Snowdog 18:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bh, pi, ks wikipedia

I request temporary sysop access on bh.wiki , pi.wiki and ks.wiki to enable the direct entry of Devnagari script.

Kapampangan Wikipedia

I request sysops access for pam:User:Katimawan2005 and pam:User:Val2397 on pam.wikipedia. The Kapampangan Wikipedia has neither sysops nor bureaucrats. These users are native speakers of Kapampangan. pam:User:Katimawan2005 is the one who proposed this project and pam:User:Val2397 is one of the most active contributors to this project. There is a consensus in the Kapampangan Wikipedia that these users be given bureaucrat status and a request for bureaucrat status for these users has also been requested (see below this page in the Bureaucrats requests subsection for the bureaucrat access request). However, it was suggested that these users be given sysops status first. Hence I'm also filing this concurrent request for sysops access for the said users. Here is the other relevant information:

Tagalog Wiktionary

I request sysop access on tl.wiktionary:

  • Local User Page: wikt:tl:User:Sky Harbor

There is only one other active user on the Tagalog Wiktionary and I basically serve as its babysitter. I do all monitoring and quite unfortunately, there are curious users who write on pages where they're not supposed to be written in with no sysop to delete them. This is why I'm requesting (again) for sysop status.

Thank you very much. --Sky Harbor 01:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scots Wikipedia

I have been a Wikipedian since 2001 and I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia, an administrator and co-founder of the Scots Wikipedia and a bureaucrat on the Scots Gaelic Wikipedia. Once again I am requesting bureaucrat access on sco.wikipedia for sco:User:Mendor. This was previously refused because we are too small despite unanimous support for him and despite the fact that size has is only loosely correlated with level of activity or the need for a bureaucrat. However we have been swamped by bots for the last few months and can do nothing about them because we lack a bureaucrat. It is essential that we have one. Thus I am making this request again:

Thanks -- Derek Ross 22:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can block users as an administrator, too, and both of you seem to be active (sco:Special:Listusers/sysop). As explained on bureaucrats, a bureaucrat does only have the ability to grant bot status, sysop & bureaucrat status and can rename users. At the moment, there seems to be no special need for that; if such things are required, you can ask here. I'd recommend you to make a vote, as far as I can see there has not been a bureaucrat vote for you yet. Greetings, —Pill δ 05:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that I can block people but the bots do useful work so I don't particularly want to block them. They just need to be hidden and there definitely is a need for that as you can confirm if you look at the recent changes for the last few weeks. -- Derek Ross 19:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've understood so far but nevertheless you could make a vote for bureaucratship, I guess. The interwiki bots that are operating right now should be granted bot status, but I don't think this is really urgent so you should make a new vote. Greetings, —Pill δ 20:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I request bureaucrat access for pam:User:Katimawan2005 and pam:User:Val2397 on pam.wikipedia. The Kapampangan Wikipedia has neither sysops nor bureaucrats.

Thank you. Harvzsf 01:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The bureaucrat flag enables a user to appoint sysops and bots, but it does not automatically imply the activation of sysop functions for the user him/herself. I suggest these users to be given a sysop access first. --Paginazero - Ø 12:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other projects

Requests for bureaucrat rights in other projects than those listed above, including Wikiversity and Wikispecies, belong here.

Removal of access

You may request self-de-adminship here; stewards will grant such requests immediately if you provide proof that you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki. This may be accomplished most easily by placing a note in English on the talk page of your local wiki confirming your request for de-adminship.

To request the another user's de-adminship, please gain consensus on your own wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When it is finished and there exists community consensus that the user should be de-adminned, a trusted person from that wiki should just provide a link here to the discussion and a very brief explanation of the reason for de-adminship and results of discussion.

Do not begin or continue de-adminship discussions here.

I am going on a holiday from the 12th of December to the 21st of December. During that period, I would like to request desysopping on the Simple English Wikipedia. Here are my credentials:

Thank you.-- Tdxiang 09:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I can't see the reason why you want to get rid of your admin-status. I think if we would start doing things like that, we get an overhead of deadmin/admin, that just creates more work and less transparency (why was this admin deadmint/admint again), If you would be away 6 months, ok, but some days I think there is no problem staying admin. Would it be ok if we let you stay admin? Fantasy 容 13:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion was moved to Requests for comments/Cswiki issues 3. No further talk on this issue here unless the community builds its consensus. Thank you. --Aphaia 02:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Decheckuser Sbisolo on it:Wikipedia

After 6 months, as requested in our (not well expressed) policy, I request to be removed from checkuser role. Thanks. --Sbisolo 17:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I humbly ask for the Stewards to hold on this request, since it would break another CU service policy: there is nobody ready to replace Sbisolo and I'm going to put up a "confirmation" page for him. Please allow 14 days from today. --M/ 17:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This request is not to be processed, since the it.wiki community has confirmed Sbisolo as a Check user. Link to archived election page. --M/ 14:00, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

Please add new requests here.

Currently active temporary permissions may be found at /Approved temporary. Stewards, when granting, please copy the request to the appropriate place at /Approved temporary, and state clearly the date of removal. Do not archive granted requests until their expiration.

If you are requesting sysop status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki-project. That is a project for making a neutral MediaWiki translation that then will be default for all wikis. That is more useful than making only a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list of MediaWiki translation. See also MediaWiki localisation.


French Wikiversity

I would like to have temporary sysop access on the French Wikiversity so as to start editing system messages, importing pages from wikibooks, etc. (there isn't any sysop for the moment [9]).

Please note this user has a long history of blocks on cswiki, and the renaming would clear the log. — Timichal

How can you be a sysop, if you don't know MediaWiki? Renaming does not clear the log. -- Vít Zvánovec 16:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course he means that the log will not change -- hence all your blocks will be listed under your old name, and will not appear in searches for your new name. This does effectively clear it. — Dan | talk 01:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are right, but you forgot Special:Log&type=block&page=User:..., which is a part of the User Contribution page. Concerning Block Log page, at :cs: is not usable, because Egg filled it with his robotic blocking (more than 5000 blocks) -- Zacheus 08:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize you were right[10]. In my view it's a bug in a User Name Change. -- Zacheus 22:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the function of stewards to overrule rename users requests of a project. If a wiki has active bureaucrats then you have to deal with them. --Walter Do you have news? Report it to Wikizine 20:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
