Steward requests (Permissions)

latest archive→

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-stewards^connect 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.

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.

==== Username@xxproject ====

 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->

}}

Thanks

I want to administrate this project. 1.5 years is enough for me. There aren't administrators there. Lmbuga (talk) 21:09, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

At one time I was a bureaucrat in the same project.--Lmbuga (talk) 21:26, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

 Granted for 1 year to expire on 2015-04-22. Muchas gracias por ofrecerse a ayudar. Puede pasarse por SRP una semana antes de que caduque para solicitar su prolongación, habiendo abierto una nueva solicitud en ese momento. Savh^ñ 22:13, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

@ Savh: Gracias, pero lo siento, si es por un año, quizás ni lo intente (tendré que pensarlo). Necesito que se acabe el curso académico siguiente (2014-15) para poder llevar a cabo posibles proyectos. Al menos un año y tres meses, preferiblemente un año y seis meses. No puedo implicar a otros compañeros profesores con esa fecha de caducidad pues no supone que pueda realizar la labor a la que debo comprometerme durante todo el año académico. El año académico acaba en setiembre. Gracias de todos modos--Lmbuga (talk) 22:45, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

According to the Wiki News Persian bureaucracy, there is nothing., Please reply to this request[1]

This request was copied over from [2] though I assume "administrator access" is meant. Vogone talk 13:58, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

@MohandesWiki: Could you please confirm whether this request is for Administrator or Bureaucrat. If it is for Bureaucrat fa Wikinews community is not big enough to have local Bureaucrats.--Shanmugamp7 ^(talk) 14:06, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

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>

As some are aware in a message that I sent to several people last night including a few members on ArbCom, due to time commitment issues, I will be stepping down as a CheckUser@enwiki. I may request to return in the future from ENwiki ArbCom, but for the time being, I am stepping down. Those who have questions, comments, or concerns please send me an email as I do not check wiki often. ---- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 01:41, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
