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 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.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards 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 approval of your local community.

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request. 

====Project name and language====
I request sysop access.

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.


Marshallese Wikipedia

I request sysop access.

Thank you. Freddie Mercury 18:46, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But, that account has no activity, darling. Jon Harald Søby 18:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's thrue, because I did it today. I want to fight vandalism deleting pages like this one, because nobody else does it. I'm also an admin un Yoruba Wikipedia (my userpage there), and a user in Spanish Wikipedia (my userpage there). Freddie Mercury 19:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, since it's a hard life and we all must play the game, access granted, my dear. (See, it's an innuendo? Not a very good one, though.) Jon Harald Søby 19:24, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So we are the champions and don't stop me now! Freddie Mercury 19:32, 25 January 2007 (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 don't mean to be difficult and I completely agree that the need for a bureaucrat is not urgent but I must point out that I have already organised a vote, received unanimous support for the candidate, and still been refused (because, apparently, the Scots Wikipedia is "too small"). Nothing much has changed on the Scots Wikipedia in the intervening period, so if I organise another vote, and receive unanimous support for the candidate again, I doubt that we will have any more participants in the vote than last time. Thus I would expect that once again we would be refused. Even if we were to have more participants than last time, I have no idea what the minimum number is supposed to be (because none has been specified on this page). Yet the need for a bureaucrat on the Scots Wikipedia, urgent or not, still persists. In this situation is it really surprising that I wish to appeal to the common sense of the stewards rather than relying on a process which has proven to be time-consuming, arbitrary and unpredictable when I have tried to follow it to the letter on a previous occasion ? -- Derek Ross 05:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Required number of votes for bureaucrat elections is fixed by the local project community, very small projects often do not even have a minumum number of votes required for granting the status, the decision whether the candidate is given the status required is made by the stewards then. Nevertheless, since community seems to be quite small so far, possibly he will be granted (temporary) bureaucrat status. —Pill δ 14:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So what's the status on this request?drini ☎ 21:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold a new election to make sure consensus has not changed. Bureaucrat access will be granted promptly upon confirming consensus, barring no unforeseen circumstances. Thanks. —{admin} Pathoschild 22:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay people, That's great. I'll start the check for consensus later today. Merry Christmas to all. -- Derek Ross 07:15, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This, new permission request can be found here. Greetings, — Pill δ 15:19, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The request process has now closed after being open for over a month and Mendor has attained unanimous support from the registered users who have taken part. Over to you guys. -- Derek Ross 08:17, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done--Shanel 04:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! -- Derek Ross 08:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. 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, and 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).

no current requests

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: When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

no current requests.

Removal of access

You may request that your own access be removed 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 your local talk page confirming your 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.

It.wikinews

According to our current project policy I do request the removal of the sysop status for n:it:Utente:Gatto Nero and n:it:Utente:Trek00 as they have been listed in the Inactive administrator for 6 months.

Thank you. Tooby 16:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

n:it:Utente:Gatto Nero Done. n:it:Utente:Trek00 Not done as he had some sysop activity in last six months, and is an active regular contributor. Bastique 16:42, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Again thank you very much! (I'm very happy of my mistake! :D ) --Tooby 16:53, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ro.wp

I request removal of sysop rights for ro:Utilizator:D.evil. Reason: inactivity longer than 1 year. See our relevant policy here. Thank you. — AdiJapan ☎ 03:24, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Done--Shanel 03:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

en.wikipedia

I hereby request deadminship. After this request, I will print the following string on my user page to confirm my identity: "adj052". --User:Philwelch

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

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

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.

kj.wikipedia

I would like to request temp admin access to the Kuanyama wikipedia to clean up spam. I am admin at de:, See vote confirmation difflink on my user page. There is no local sysop in kj:. --Johannes Rohr 10:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you already registered on that wiki? If so, please, under which name? I couldn't find any Johannes Rohr there. --Paginazero - Ø 11:10, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, forgot. Account now exists (kj:User:Johannes Rohr). --Johannes Rohr 12:37, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done, expires 2007-03-04--Shanel 05:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User rename requests

If your project has a bureaucrat, contact that user to request a username change; do not place a request here.


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.

Project name and language

I request sysop access.

Thank you. FrancisTyers 08:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had administrator permissions on my old account tg:User:FrancisTyers, but I would like it on my new account tg:User:Francis Tyers. - FrancisTyers 09:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Francis Tyers@tgwiki is already a sysop. -Romihaitza 17:05, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Old account, new account? Are you not just searching for a username change request? Then your sysoprights will still be attached to that useraccount. Effeietsanders 07:39, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
