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-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 the position. Requests for removal of access belong in another section. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be done at the BetaWiki project instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Steward requests/Speedy deletions.

Stewards
Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; copy granted requests to the appropriate section there, stating the date of removal in the section header and at the bottom of the request. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
Archiving
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. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.

For permanent sysopship please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary sysopship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

nepaboy@bhwikipedia

Status:    Done

I need to change all contents of bhojpuri wikipedia in bhojpuri language which is available in english still now so i want adminship on bhojpuri wikipedia Nepaboy 23:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about translating the mediawiki interface, you would need to do it in translatewiki.net and not locally. Could you please clarify the request? Thanks! --23:41, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
I mean to say that the sidebar and tabs's content of main page of bhojpuri wikipedia is still not translated in bhojpuri language. It is still in english. I need adminship to translate and manage every thing on bhojpuri wikipedia. Nepaboy 03:18, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that should be translated at translatewiki.net so the translations can be included in the software. Thanks  — mikelifeguard@meta:~$  14:10, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
See translatewiki.net for translating the MediaWiki messages. Once translated there, they will be automatically deployed & updated over all bh language projects. Thank you, --Dferg 14:37, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done for 3 months to expire on 2010-08-02 as your local request gets no response.--Jusjih 20:00, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bellavista1957@fa.wikisource.org

Status:    In progress

(I would like to become the Administrator in Wikisource Persian. I am working a lot on law in Iran, constitutions, and other legal documents. As there are no administrators, there are no welcome, no user aid, etc., there are unfinished articles which need either to be deleted or completed.) Bellavista1957 16:15, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see one inactive bureaucrat and a few administrator. Please make a local request and ask that bureaucrat to respond before any steward steps in. Thanks.--Jusjih 20:04, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can not identify in Wikisource any manager or any name that I can contact. Hope you have not mixed it with Wikipedia Farsi. I can see the name of Mardetanha as Steward who does not reply. Thank you --Bellavista1957 08:28, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, as Jusjih said, there are some administrators and a bureaucrat in the project. Please see s:fa:Special:ListUsers/sysop for a list of administrators and s:fa:Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat for a list of bureaucrats (in this case, only one). Best regards, --Dferg 09:07, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have filed a local request - Thank you --Bellavista1957 09:49, 3 May 2010 (UTC) I received a reply to my request for becoming Admin not from Kaveh the Admin of Wikisource but from Pedram.salehpoor who is an author in Wikipedia Farsi. He wrote me that he will delete articles that I request to be deleted. Very strange!! how can he delete articles in Wikisource whereas he is not Admin. He did not answer to my wish to become Admin in Wikisource. Could you please check this matter, and who is Pedram.salehpoor related to wikisource Farsi. Thank you for your help.--Bellavista1957 17:57, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
General note
There is an ongoing discussion regarding the minimum number of votes and overall participation to promote users to bureaucrat at Talk:Bureaucrat#Minimum_number_of_votes. Users are encouraged to assist in the development of a policy that allows stewards to not decide on whether a promotion is valid or not. Thank you.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. 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@lists.wikimedia.org so the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Herbythyme@metawiki

Status:    Done

I'm reinstating CheckUser rights to Herbythyme per discussion above. There is unanymous support for this and his sysop tools were granted back too. Note here for the archive. Thanks, --Dferg 19:27, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record I agréé that Herby have his tools back, but I don't agree with the call Dferg has made, a Meta Bureaucrat should have made this request not a steward. Huib talk 09:41, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Crats cannot add checkuser rights … but yes, it might have been better to had given back the sysop rights by local crat. —DerHexer (Talk) 09:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I know a crat can't give checkuser, that isn't what I'm saying.
Herby asked the checkuser tools back, and a meta crat should close that request by saying herby should have a rfcu or making the request here.
Now a steward has made a call without giving bureaucrats the time to respond.
Stewards handle on request and they don't decide right? Huib talk 10:08, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
At least per policy. But stewards had to make decisions at least since I became one of them: Whom to block, what to hide, which consensus needed for new sysops/crats on smaller projects etc. Do you disagree with dferg's decision? Do you want a crat to confirm that? But that would also be just one crat who decides then. What if other crats disagree? —DerHexer (Talk) 10:12, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've acted in the same way as was handled when he requested the tools back in April last year, when Spacebirdy restored him too his CU rights after Majorly restored him his sysop rights + I consulted with other stewards and said me to go ahead. Note that his sysop access was restored by Abigor hours ago. If you disagree with my acting, please revert me & accept my apologizes. --Dferg 10:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'll refrain from using the tools until this is resolved I think. No wish to cause trouble. Personally I see the role of a crat in such requests as pretty pointless (:)) as it is the community that decides - a while back I "closed" a couple of CU reqs for people I had nominated (when I was not a crat) and requested the rights but that is just my 0.02. Like I say I'll refrain for now. Regards --Herby talk thyme 11:02, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As I see now, you're a crat here on metawiki, Abigor. You could solve that gordian knot simply by confirming the reinsertion of Herby's sysop bit here. —DerHexer (Talk) 11:07, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the bit, a crat restored it. So everything should be fine now. Kind regards, —DerHexer (Talk) 11:25, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
(conflicted) Hexy removed the bit and I restored it as a meta bcrat. Quite pointless discussion, IMHO, as we shouldn't be too bureaucratic about this kind of things. --FiliP ██ 11:25, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the trouble was with his CU rights, not his sysop rights which Abigor restored himself:

# (show/hide) 18:20, 29 April 2010 Abigor (talk | contribs | block) changed group membership for User:Herbythyme from (none) to Administrators ‎ (http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1954056)

Anyway, I feel sorry and my tools are at your dispossal if you feel like this. --Dferg 11:32, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can amicably solve this. We will be more careful in the future and Dferg has a point: a bureaucrat has already reinstated the flag. We have many problems that need solution and our work, let's not shoot ourselves in the foot. The involved ones have already apologized for all the misunderstandings and I think no real damage was done here (as Herby pointed, it's the community who is actually granting him the flag).

Huib just made a remark for us to notice, we humbly acknowledge the point because he is right, I don't see why everyone is going defensive. Let's focus on dealign with real issues instead of going circles among us. es:Drini 15:18, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org 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.

ظهیری@fawiki

Status:    Done

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ladsgroup (talk • contribs) .

 On hold, user needs to identify to the Foundation first. I'm informing the user about the process. --Dferg 21:41, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please be informed that I sent required documents to the Foundation. ظهیری 09:26, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, waiting for the office confirmation. --Dferg 14:15, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done - granted oversight access. --Jyothis 16:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Adler.fa@fawiki

Status:    Done

 On hold, user needs to identify to the Foundation first. I'm informing the user about the process. --Dferg 21:41, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
required documents are sent to the Foundation. cheers, ‫‫Adler.fa 14:29, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the note Adler. We will need to wait till the identification noticeboard is updated. --Jyothis
Board is updated with Adler.fa, but we require at least 2 OS/CU/CRATS per project, so we need to wait until ظهیری@fawiki identifies. -- Avi 17:34, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done - granted oversight access. --Jyothis 16:50, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global 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; the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place 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 brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). Please post requests at the bottom of the section.

Believer@svwiki

Status:    Done
svWikipedia has a policy that admins are elected for 12 months, with possibility to be reelected at the end of the period.

Status:    Done

This administrator has been inactive for over a year. Per policy they have been notified via email and their talk page, with 30 days' notice posted to the page linked to as the discussion.

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.

Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages:

Danny B.@betawikiversity

I'd like to ask for import rights on beta Wikiversity to be able to move random Wikiversity pages there from Incubator where people sometimes create and edit them. Thanks.

— Danny B. 14:51, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Please notify us when done. --FiliP ██ 14:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
