Steward requests/Permissions

Shortcut:
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-stewards^connect 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.

Discussion: RfA (3rd time)

My third (First on Dec 2013 (1st), Second on Mar 2014 (2nd and SRAT)) RfA has 2/0/1, and since community is still small, I don't expect any more vote. — Revi_complaint? 03:53, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You know that your current temporary rights are still ongoing? --MF-W 09:55, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's expiring in 3 weeks, so I want it to be extended. — Revi_complaint? 12:18, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

the clock starts on the period whenever we process it, would you like this to be on hold for a couple of weeks, and we do it closer to the cutoff? — billinghurst sDrewth 00:30, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please. — Revi_complaint? 09:32, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On hold until 12 September — billinghurst sDrewth 02:40, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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 [[<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>

Done. There were messages left for the user over the last month but he hasn't been active on dewiki on his community account for a long while. The request seems to follow dewiki protocol, so I've completed it. Ajraddatz (talk) 16:12, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
