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.

李瞬生@lzhwiki

Status:    Done

The vote has ended with 2 supports and no opposition. (It seems that they forgot to actually send a request for permission, so I decide to give a hand) —— Eric Liu（Talk） 01:44, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Merry Thanksgiving day!——李瞬生 (talk) 06:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2024-02-25. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 11:35, 25 November 2023 (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.

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.

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

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.

Hat600@zh.wikisource

Status:    Not done

On 2023-05-01 Hat600 posted in the local Scriptorium: "建议当事三位管理员总辞，不要反复搞投票把社群当游戏来玩。如果有人怀疑本人如此提议是想要攫取权利，本人愿意承诺与三位管理员一同辞去管理员权限". ("Advise involved three administrators to jointly resign. Do not repeatedly make voting as games to play upon the community. If anyone suspects me to seek getting rights by so advising, I am willing to promise to resign as an administrator jointly with three administrators.") As Gzdavidwong is mostly inactive and Hat600 on 2023-11-11 conceded that "inactive administrator would not be harmful" (不活跃的管理员没什么危害), I hereby accept and post Hat600's proposal of our joint resignation as administrators. Hat600 has been notified of this, with nothing to do with the temporary interface adminship.Jusjih (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly no consensus for the so-called "mutual agreement" yet, but I'll still ping @Hat600: for the sake of verification. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 04:05, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And consider that there's a serious conflict between administrators of the Chinese Wikisource regarding local governance over the past few years, I personally doubt that those "agreements" were anywhere near as a realistic approach yet. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 18:11, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold @Hat600: please confirm your resignation by replying here. — xaosflux Talk 17:01, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please also confirm if this includes interface-administrator flag. — xaosflux Talk 17:07, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Local user talk message left. — xaosflux Talk 17:05, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done the linked discussion is quite aged and there has been no confirmation of resignation by the user. The user is of course always welcome to come request a personal resignation here in the future. If the zhwikisource community wants an involuntary removal a current, well attended local discussion should be held and resolved first (there are over 100 active local users on that project). — xaosflux Talk 15:44, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Zhxy 519@zh.wikisource

Status:    Not done

On 2023-05-01 Zhxy 519 posted in the local Scriptorium: "如果Jusjih真不把自己當老闆願意辭職了，那我大可辭職". ("If Jusjih really wants to resign while not treating self as a boss, then I can resign.)" I hereby accept and post Zhxy 519's proposal of our joint resignation as administrators. See also Hat600 above. Zhxy 519 has been notified of this while I never treat myself as a boss.Jusjih (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jusjih@zh.wikisource

Status:    Withdrawn

Based on the above information, I consent resigning as the administrator only if Hat600 and Zhxy 519 per above are simultaneously removed to facilitate our joint resignation by mutual agreements.Jusjih (talk) 01:50, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending the above 2 requests. — xaosflux Talk 12:16, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Request withdrawn per your statement above and the other closures. You are of course always welcome to resign unconditionally if you wish, just drop a new request stating so. — xaosflux Talk 15:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I resigned from the enwiki Arbcom due to lack of time for the job. I also want to resign my CU/OS permissions as I don't have time to do those jobs either. Thanks! Opabinia regalis (talk) 07:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
