Steward requests/Permissions
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.

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.

Hello. This Wiki opened some days ago, but it has no administrators. I think stewards, who read it, can give admin flag for user Igriks. He speaks Vepsian as native, and he has knowledge of Wikimedia rules. Thank you--Tamara Ustinova 15:11, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- Please have the user to post a request for adminship in vep:Vikipedii:Kund. We will review the consensus after a week and if so promote the user. Thanks for your understanding. Best regards. —Marco Aurelio (Nihil Prius Fide) 16:30, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Good morning. I would like to become an administrator of Wikipedia Kabyle (kab.wikipedia.org). In this language there is only one administrator and his last activity was in 2008. Needless to say that he has disappeared from the scene. Wanting to update this Wikipedia, I would like to become one of the administrators but I do not know where to go. Could you please help me?

Good day, I'm requesting temporary admin on iu.wiki in order to do some maintenance including deleting a lot of pages because of pages' moving and editing protected pages. There is two bureaucrats/admins on iu.wiki, but both are inactive since 2006 and one of them specifically says on his user page that he's not admin ([1]). I already made several requests on the irc channel for global admin only for minor actions and both of the global admin and myself loose time in this process. I'm monitoring this wiki for vandalism almost on a daily basis. I'm already temporary admin on cr.wiki for the same purposes. I founded the Canadian Aboriginal Languages Wikipedia Coordination for the coordination and the monitoring of those small aboriginal wikis. My contributions on iu.wiki.

Oversight access
To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-llistswikimediaorg for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.
- 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 Oversight.
Removal of access
<translate>
- 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
- See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

The Icelandic Wikipedia has an inactivity policy for it´s admins and bureaucrats. Admins and bureaucrats who have not made any edits for one year are notified on their talk pages. If they don´t respond within one month or don´t express any interest in keeping their rights, they will lose them.
All of the users mentioned above where notified on their talk pages at 16th January 2012. StalfurPDA is an known alternative account of is:user:Stalfur, so I notified Stalfur instead. Stalfur is the only user that responded and he agreed with removing StalfurPDA´s rights. Since one month has passed from the notifacation, I am requesting removal of both their admin and bureaucrat rights.--Snaevar (talk) 11:13, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
