SRP

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-stewardsconnect 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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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.

Requests

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

See Administrator for information about this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

DerFussi@svwikivoyage

Status:    Not done

Hi. Today I got the message on voy/sv that my temporary admin right has expired. But this adminship was based on an election on voy/sv (see link to the archiv). So I am not aware that this adminship was temporary. Was it a mistake? I am not really sure why the right was revoked today.-- DerFussi 08:59, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@DerFussi and Ajraddatz: Your request was granted for 4 months. If this was intentional or a mistake I don't know. Ajr has been pinged. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 11:47, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It may have something to do with the 1 week running period instead of 2 weeks, which is ususally required for a permanent adminship. You have a local bureaucrat, Riggwelter, who was active 3 days ago. What is his view? Can he grant the right? Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 10:11, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"2 weeks, which is ususally required for a permanent adminship" - what is that supposed to mean? Is that a steward policy? --MF-W 23:17, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In my view, there was not enough of a local community active at the time to warrant permanent adminship. If the local bureaucrat disagrees and is willing to grant permanent access, then I would not object at all. Ajraddatz (talk) 21:40, 7 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Riggwelter: has been notified. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 10:43, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Ajraddatz (talk) 04:34, 9 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If DerFussi would like to keep his adminship on svvoy, he is welcome to apply on the relevant page. Please note that, according to the local policy on svvoy, failure to login in and display any activity for three months will lead to the loss of the adminship. Riggwelter (talk) 10:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have applied again. The wiki was abandoned for a while and seems to be slightly more active in August. Hopefully it will become more active soon. -- DerFussi 14:39, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm closing this request since the RfA at sv.wikivoyage is ongoing and there's a local bureaucrat who can take care of granting the permissions once it is closed, if successful. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio 11:28, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kasir talk 22:17, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment User's temporary access just recently expired, I would like to vouch his request for renewal of his temporary access Mardetanha talk 22:26, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Is this a request for adminship? Then it should be moved to the correct section. --MF-W 22:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just fixed it Mardetanha talk 15:23, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion linked is from February 2015. We can't renew your access without assess that there's no opposition. Please open a new RfA or announce the community that your intent to renew access. —MarcoAurelio 13:22, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
User was an admin for many months in good standing and had had no issue and no complaints, I see no reason to why can't that be enough for renewal Mardetanha talk 13:42, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Mardetanha, as much as I trust you and your words, rules should be the same for everyone. I can't in good faith renew this user's adminship while I've been asking other users under similar circumstances to announce their intentions to their communities, and have even denied some of those requests for lacking such announcement. I know that in the past the procedure on rights renewal was sightly different, but that's the current practice followed by the majority of us. There's no mistrust on you nor on Kasir, it's simply about what I think it's fair and just. Thanks for your understanding. If other stewards disagree with me, feel free to proceed upon it. Best regards. —MarcoAurelio 13:57, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will ask the user to do so, but generally speaking, user even had enough vote for permanent adminship but since the change of practice, it is now temporary, anyway for me that voting or such for votings while is has no issue and complaints is enough for renewal Mardetanha talk 14:12, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With 5 or more support votes from regular users of the project I'm granting permanent adminship, as somewhat agreed here. However I did not handled Kasir's original request. Thanks. —MarcoAurelio 14:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asked the only bureaucrat again. If still no answer, I may locally propose removing the bureaucrat.--Jusjih (talk) 01:27, 19 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am not seeking his removal. I am just seeking a solution to the lack of active admins on cebwp, and a solution to my own needs connected with bot running. Lsj (talk) 09:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access

See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.


Oversight access

See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

Removal of access

  • 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 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 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 Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.
