Steward requests/Permissions

• For adminship requests on this wiki see Meta:Requests for adminship.

---

This is a central page to request permissions for sysop status, bureaucrat status or bot status on one of the Wikimedia projects, where no local means exist to do so yet.

If your wiki has a request for adminship page and a bureaucrat (a bureaucrat is able to make people sysop on the local wiki), please use your local page. If not, use this page.

For urgent access (to combat ongoing large-scale vandalism), you may ask on the IRC channels #mediawiki or #wikipedia on irc.freenode.net (users angela, anthere or engels).

When you make your request, please mention your language code, and create a page on your wiki if it does not exist yet with:

• a list of admins and bureaucrats on your wiki,
• a link to this page
• the conditions needed to become a sysop and the discussions (approval or disapproval) about a new candidate (larger wikis only)

Techniques to give status are described on m:stewards.

Current requests for permissions

Note to stewards: The steward interface has moved from Test to Meta. Please use special:makesysop.'

Please specify whether you are asking for adminship on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, or Wikiquote.

Please note that all adminships are subject to approval by the community. If you are granted adminship and a complaint is later filed against you, this may be revoked immediately pending a vote (like en:WP:RFA) to ensure the community on your wiki supports your request.

I request temporary adminship for myself [1] for admin and migrating purposes from the now solely english wikibook version to the german, french, catalan, spanish, and portuguese versions. In case this is granted please write me an email. Get-back-world-respect 08:32, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Which Wikibooks are you asking for access on? Do you mean all of those or just de? We can't do en as they have bureaucrats and we can't do Catalan because you don't have an account there. Angela 17:20, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Removal of access

Self-deadminship, or removal of bot flags from your bot can be requested here, and will be granted immediately. You may be asked to prove you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki first.

To request the removal of sysop access from another user, please gain consensus on this on your own wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When it is finished and there is a community consensus to desysop a user, a trusted person from that wiki should just provide a link here to the discussion and a very brief explanation of what the results of that were.

Requests for Bot status

To register a bot, please mention its name and the local wiki on which it will work here.

Warning : for some big wikipedias, such as en:, you will need to specifically request an authorization over there. See en:Wikipedia talk:Bots for approval by a sysop.

Current temporary sysops for emergency purposes
