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.

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.

五月雨恋歌@gan.wikipedia

At present, there are still many needs for this wiki to be cleaned up, and some of the items in the editing war need to be protected by permission. Temporary permissions can be, thank you. Samidare Renka -talk- 13:54, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2019-03-09. Ruslik (talk) 20:45, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ToprakM@trwikiquote

I got sysop and interface administrator authority up to 11 December on Turkish Wikiquote. I have created sysop discussion so as not to receive my authorization. Can you extend the duration of my sysop and interface administrator authorization or make it unlimited if possible? Thanks. --ToprakM 19:02, 9 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Micael D.@ptwikinews

Please give me permanent adminship. 100 per cent of community vote "yes" to my renew of sysop. Thanks. Micael D. (talk) 11:17, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

  • 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 interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface 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 interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Hi Ruslik. I don't have 2FA enabled now, but as far as I know, it is required. Let me know if it is mandatory, I will enable it. Thanks!--ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 18:08, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Now I have it.--ԱշոտՏՆՂ (talk) 18:17, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Reptilien.19831209BE1@wawiktionary

Only one vote in two weeks, but I am the only contributor in MediaWiki:Common.js and MediaWiki:Common.css, and (if it could help) I'm already interface administrator on fr.wikisource... is it sufficient? Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 07:45, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you're okay, we can grant you the permission to expire the same date as your current temporary adminship; so you can renew both next time? Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:21, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree with this proposal. Reptilien.19831209BE1 (talk) 11:41, 4 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done, expires 29 July 2019, as your current temporary adminship. Before it expires please hold a new discussion on-wiki at least one week in advance of its expiration. Please also consider enabling two-factor authentication (simple guide), if you haven't already, for your security. Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:41, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

QueerEcofeminist@mrwikiqoute

(* So I am requesting admin and interface admin rights here.

  • Bringing new gadgets like citoid, reflinks, hot-cat to this wiki.
  • categorization, quality control of the existing content, introduction of new content.
  • Until this site and interface is updated and made user friendly, more editors would not see this site as a opportunity to contribute, I know this as I conduct workshops and edi-o-thons across Maharashtra. And I am trying to get more contributors to this wiki.)
  • I have been working to clean copyvio on enwiki, mrwiki and opposing sockpuppetery and vandalism on mrwiki, So it is very evident that people involved in all sorts disruptive editing would oppose me, So I request authorities here to consider the history of the user's almost abusively opposing me. Thanks,

 On hold --Alaa :)..! 04:09, 10 December 2018 (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.

Addshore@enwiki

I'm not really active in crat duties on enwp any more. Please remove my crat flag. Thanks! ·addshore· talk to me! 14:35, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions
