I request removal of bureaucrat access. This little place is not big enough for six of us, and I no longer get along with the two other most "active" bureaucrats, so it'd be best I called it quits, at least for now. Please leave my sysop right though, as that may still come in useful. |

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.
For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward
in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.
Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community.

Confirmation of identity
Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.
Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.
Requests
Administrator access
Bureaucrat access
Alex Smotrov@ruwikibooks
Please, promote Alex Smotrov sysop and bureaucrat flags. There's a vote about his bureaucratship, and everybody (including former bureaucrat, Ramir) supported him — VasilievV 2 11:15, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Your request is only recent, I know that it's a little urgent, but please wait at least a week for your community to approve him.--Nick1915 - all you want 12:10, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I understand that it is too recent, but I think 2-3 days would be enough since we don't have big community — VasilievV 2 12:24, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- There's 1 more vote after your first req, I suggest to wait...--Nick1915 - all you want 14:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not done@bureaucratship: bureaucratship will not be granted to such small communities (to this one especially because of the recent problems), thanks for Your understanding, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 15:55, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- On hold@sysophood: Lots of voters there have only few contributions and/or registered very recently. Therefore I suggest to grant only temporary - sysop. The voting time (if locally not longer set) is usually 1 week, please wait a bit (voting started on 17.01.2008), thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 21:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Update: See, please b:ru:Викиучебник:Заявки на статус администратора; Now has voted 5 users. — t-toktalk 04:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Голосование должно продолжаться не меньше недели. Накорившийся мусор я поудалял, так что спешить некуда. MaxSem(Han shot first!) 07:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Максим, спасибо. Там накопилось столько мусора, что даже и представить невозможно. Твоя помощь оказалась очень кстати. — t-toktalk 07:54, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

CheckUser access
To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.
Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.
Oversight access
Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).
Stewards: When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.
Newyorkbrad @ En WP
I am a newly elected/appointed (effective January 1, 2008) member of the En-WP Arbitration Committee and have been approved by the Arbitration Committee to receive Oversight access. (The committee typically approves this access for all arbitrators who requested it.) I have provided identity confirmation to the Foundation. Please enable this access at your convenience. I will ask that another member of ArbCom post here to confirm this request. Thank you. Newyorkbrad 22:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Confirming the request is fine with Wikipedia English Arbitration Committee. FloNight 23:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- On hold, thanks FloNight, now waiting for Cary to confirm, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 23:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Oversight access at the Swedish Wikipedia
- Language Code: sv
- Local Request Link: sv:Wikipedia:Ansökan om administrativ behörighet
- Local User Pages: sv:User:Caesar, sv:User:Andejons and sv:User:MoRsE
At the Swedish Wikipedia we've decided we want some local users with oversight access. Three candidates have been approved by the community. What else is needed for them to get oversight access? Boivie 07:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- They need to at least identify to the WMF (send some sort of ID to Cary: cbass at wikimedia d0t org). I'm not really sure about other quirks regarding this particular user right. --FiLiP ¤ 07:57, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
On hold until confirmed by Cary Bass. The users must be at least 18 years old. --Thogo (talk) 08:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- I've asked Andejons to identify himself/herself to Cary. Caesar should already be identified as a Checkuser, and I believe MoRsE also is identified (maybe as a member of the svwiki ArbCom). --Boivie 08:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have identified myself for the Swedish arbcom, but I am not sure if this information has been sent forward here. However, I can send a mail to Cary Bass with a scanned copy of my ID and some additional contact information just to make sure. -- (MoRsE) MoRsE 10:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- MoRsE has identified. Cary Bass 16:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Removal of access
If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here. You should add the difflink of your local confirmation edit to the request.
To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.
Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.
==== Username@language-code project-name ==== I request removal of access. *'''Language Code:''' xx *'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision--> *'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]] Thank you. ~~~~
Please summarize your request in the "summary".
Majorly@metawiki
I request removal of bureaucrat access. This little place is not big enough for six of us, and I no longer get along with the two other most "active" bureaucrats, so it'd be best I called it quits, at least for now. Please leave my sysop right though, as that may still come in useful.
- Language Code: metawiki
- Local Confirmation/Request Link: Well, it's this account...
- Local User Page: User:Majorly
Thank you. Majorly (talk) 17:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Rudget@en Wikipedia
I request removal of access for sysop rights. Reason: The first reason is that the User has retired, and the second is that if the User's cousin, who used his account yesterday for bad things, manages to hack back into it then there could be some potential problems...information on this can be found on his userpage: en:User:Rudget.
- Language Code: en
- Local Confirmation/Request Link:en:User:Rudget
- Local User Page: en:User:Rudget
Thank you. The Helpful One (Talk) (Contribs) (Review) 17:06, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- I encourage stewards to ignore this. The user has control of his account, and is simply retired. There is no local policy to remove retired users, and Rudget did not state anywhere he wanted his tools removed. Majorly (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not done If the user wants to have his rights removed, he must do a confirmation edit on enwiki and post the diff here. If there is a danger of abusing, the local arbcom can decide to remove his rights and then they can request it here. --Thogo (talk) 17:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed. Rudget asked me what the process for removal was (on my en:wp talk) and it was explained, so if Rudget wants access removed, Rudget knows what to do. This request was rightly not done in my view. ++Lar: t/c 23:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes
If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation.
Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.
Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the list of sysops and bureaucrats, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.
==== Username@language-code project-name ==== I request temporary sysop access. *'''Language Code:''' xx *'''List of local sysops:''' *'''List of local bureaucrats:''' *'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]] *'''Preferred duration and reason:''' Thank you. ~~~~
Please summarize your request in the "summary".
Serhat@tr wikibooks
I request temporary sysop access.
- Language Code: tr
- List of local sysops: tr:b:Special:Listusers/sysop
- List of local bureaucrats: tr:b:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
- Local User Page: tr:b:User:Serhat
- Preferred duration and reason:I request temporary sysop access for two months. Because I want to translate and edit the Wikibooks Turkish's interface
Thank you.Srhat 14:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Not done There's a bureaucrat who should give you sysop access. … But there's even a sysop active. —DerHexer (Talk) 14:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Please do interface-translations at betawiki: only, create an account there, add a link on Your local userpage to the tr.wikibooks one and request for translator-status at betawiki:Betawiki:Translator, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 15:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
