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 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect 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 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: 
    ====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = 
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
  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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
    • 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
  3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

Georgian wikiquote

Status:    In progress

Please give administrator rights to user

— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trulala (talk) diff, please sign discussions with --~~~~ (UTC)

Hello,
two votes are very few, and he nearly has no edits, I suggest a temporary period of three months (it is technically the same and can be prolonged).
Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, my candidature was nominated according to my work in Georgian Wikipedia and not in wikiquote, but your suggestion is quite acceptable. In addition there are 6 votes now. Kind regards Rastrelli F23:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
Already 6 votes. I'm current administrator of this project, and strongly support for Rastrelli F--Trulala 09:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Malagasy Wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Please give administrator rights to user

  • Jagwar
  • The reason : the unique sysop of the wiktionary is inactive for 6 months.

Thank you! Jagwar 12:05, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jagwar. We can not grant permanent adminship unless the community has approved this. If there aren't yet enough people to do that on the Malagasy Wiktionary, please can you apply for temporary adminship instead (see section below) and make an announcement on the Wiktionary about this (for example on a village pump or other community discussion page). Angela 12:09, 26 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Angela. My name has already been entered in Mpandrindra (administrator requests) with other candidates ; However, I will announce it in the community page. I'll wait 30 days. If lack of response (I think I'll seek wp.users), I'll ask you for a temporary adminship. Jagwar 09:52, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Jagwar, I saw your request on my page. I see that this is taking care of :-) Anthere 23:29, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Jagwar, as I tried to tell You on Your talkpage already the two links You provided [1] and [2] are leading to empty pages, please make a local announcement why You need sysop status, give us the link here and we will wait one week for the community to respond, many thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 01:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Here are the links we needed

PS: some links used in the left toolbar are broken and must be corrected. Best regards . Jagwar 14:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot, Jagwar, I temporarily created a redirect to wikt:mg:wikibolana:Community Portal, so it can be reached via the navigation on the left. Please note, that the word "wikibolana:" is not the current namespace-prefix for "Wiktionary:" therefore entries named "wikibolana:..." are in the main namespace. If You are interested in translating the interface and also namespace names please be welcomed to sign up at betawiki:, which is the place where all interface-translations for Wikimedia-Foundation projects are done. Have a look at betawiki:Translating:How to start / betawiki:Translating:How_to_start/fr.
Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 15:37, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. 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, email checkuser-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Casliber@enwiki

Enwiki arbcom member (w:WP:AC); identified.

Casliber has requested to be given checkuser and oversight access.

Thanks!

FT2 (Talk | email) 13:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Waiting for someone to subscribe him to checkuser-l. guillom 13:09, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

As with Checkuser, do not initiate a request for oversight access here. You need to work through your local wiki. Some wikis have elections. Some wikis have their Arbitration Committee make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki. The request should show a link to the local wiki election results, or be made on behalf of an ArbCom by a member of that ArbCom, whichever is applicable.

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 Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the 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.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). 

====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = 
 |user name = 
 |discussion= <!-- local confirmation link (not required if You have a sul account) -->
}}

pauk@ruwiki

Status:    In progress

Please, delete my sysop flag from ruWiki. I decided to leave ruWiki. --Pauk 04:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MPUploadBot@enwiki

Status:    In progress

This is my own adminbot, which I am no longer running. It has been replaced already. No need for it to have both +sysop or +bot. Thank you! Soxred93 05:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bot flag removed by local bureaucrat. EVula // talk // ☯ // 06:05, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done Sysop flag removed. DarkoNeko 07:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions or emergency or technical access

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the BetaWiki project instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Multilingual speedy deletions.

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. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.

Marbot@pdcwiki

Status:    In progress

I request the extension of my period as a sysop by six months from January 1, 2009. During the past three months some progress has been made on this wiki. However with the expiry of my access there would still be no active local admin left, since the other admins' last edit was still on June 11, 2008 (only 43 edits this year so far). To my experience somebody with admin access should be active on this wiki. Vandalism is rare but still occurs undetected. In addition I have not completed to streamline appearance and naming of articles. An other field to be taken care of is the copyright status of files which were uploaded. Thank you for your consideration. --Marbot 23:02, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable to me, barring any objections... ++Lar: t/c 23:07, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Only think I would like to ask You, please can You make a local announcement of You asking for sysop status, just in case anyone would like to object. Since You did not make a local announcement (note it does not have to be a voting, just leave it in the village pump), I would like to ask You for it this time before we prolong the status. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 05:30, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, no problem at all. I have made an announcement in the village pump (Gmeeschafts-Portal). In addition I have made an announcement on the main page. I have set the time for objections for a fortnight from today. I think, this should be ok. Best regards --Marbot 21:52, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Marbot, that is just great, thanks, we can leave this here open until then if this is ok with You, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 22:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi birdy, I do not think that this is a matter of choice. :-) Just have a look at the comments on December 30. If there is a serious problem *fear* I will inform you right away. Best regards --Marbot 22:24, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
@ Spacebirdy: Do you mean a voting on pdc: for temp sysopship or the permanent one? I'd recommend Marbot to do the last one. Regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 22:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think permanent adminship should only be granted after a vote. However, we should wait at least a year until a vote to give Dischdeldritsch time to return (his last action was an June 11, 2008). Best regards --Marbot 22:35, 16 December 2008 (UTC) This is the reason why I asked for 6 and not 3 months.[reply]
Yes, I agree, permanent should it be only after a voting, I asked only for an announcement, so other local users could object if they wish to, 2 weeks is maybe a bit long but I don't see a problem here because Marbot has adminstatus now already until then anyway.
Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 23:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
