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:

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

AmaryllisGardener@scowikipedia

I requested adminship here in November so I could fix some protected templates. The community hasn't grown much and I'm the only active admin. I'd like to extend my adminship so I can perform deletions and other admin tasks. --AmaryllisGardener (talk) 22:54, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There should be some kind of announcement also locally that you are now seeking renewal. --MF-W 23:03, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean another RFA or just a message saying I'm seeking renewal via steward request? --AmaryllisGardener (talk) 16:04, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You should open a new discussion, so yes a new RFA, so that the community has a chance to comment on your request. Depending on the level of support we'd determine whether to extend your adminship and for how long. QuiteUnusual (talk) 16:10, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, here it is. --AmaryllisGardener (talk) 16:22, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Shrikarsan@hawikipedia

I request here to become as a bureaucrat in hausa wikipedia. There are no other bureaucrats or a page for discussion to become as a bureaucrat in that wikipedia. I'm contributing continuously there. There are some articles with wrong contents, they have to be deleted and some pages need to be protected. I hope that you'll accept my request.--Shrikarsan (talk) 12:51, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a reqest here but there is no one to vote. I'm the only one who contributes continuously there.--Shrikarsan (talk) 13:13, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot become a bureaucrat without first having admin rights. Either way this project is too small to have bureaucrats, even to have permanent admins. You only can get temporary admin rights, but I think that's what you meant in the first place (deleting and protecting pages can be done by admins).  On hold until 6 February.

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>

Dr_Brains@fr.wikinews

I get sysop and reviewer status on fr.wikinews two weeks ago for a specific task. This task is now over and I'd want to leave these status.

So please :

  • remove my sysop status on fr.wikinews (cannot be done locally),
  • remove all other status I got over there (could be done locally but let's do a one shot).

Thank you --Dr Brains (talk) 18:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. By the way, removing the reviewer status can't be done from out here. Mathonius (talk) 18:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Only a steward can remove sysop rights. I removed reviewer rights.-- Bertrand GRONDIN  → (Talk) 15:15, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Done, thank you for your work! --M/ (talk) 21:37, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zh.wiki bans cannot be addressed in this way: meta.wiki is not intended for local ban appealing nor for removing other people's rights without following provided instructions. --M/ (talk) 11:53, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He use multiple administrator accounts,and abuse of authority,is not illegal yet?

Wiki on provisions in case of major emergencies may apply to the Meta-Wiki,his autocratic cause other people can not complaint at the local,is not an emergency situation? --Popluuo (talk) 17:21, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
