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 this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Info-farmer@tawikisource

Status:    Not done

See that my adminship expires on 2016-06-16. I need permanent adminship for ta.wikisource. I already submitted our community consensus--Info-farmer (talk) 11:45, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide a link to the community concensus. Also, we can't grant you a permanent adminship as the wiki is not big enough. --Stryn (talk) 16:09, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Our community consensus is in the earlier request page. //big enough// To get permanent adminship, what should i do?--Info-farmer (talk) 06:47, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually you need to make new announcement that you're running for adminship. According to active users list only 6 users have made more than 10 edits in last 30 days except you and the two bots which is not big enough to grant permanent access. Best, ~ Nahid Talk 08:56, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Kindly excuse me. What are the requirements of a Tamil community contributor to get the permanent adminship?--Info-farmer (talk) 12:06, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, this not about a specific community contributor. we will not grant permanent adminship when there is not an active local community. This practice is in force since quite a long time. Edit counts of those active users (I've mentioned) are: 801, 664, 190, 31, 23, 19 and 11. We'll happily grant the permanent adminship if community grows. so, again please start a new request and we'll grant the temp right if majority support your statement. You can renew them afterwards as long as necessary.Best, ~ Nahid Talk 18:21, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Marking as Not done. Please come back here when you have started the request for adminship on wiki first. --Stryn (talk) 12:46, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~MMGJ~@urwikibooks

Status:    In progress

Im an active user at urwikibooks. There are 0 admins, and we need little amount of admin(s) to fight vandalism. I want this access temporarily (only a month). --~MMGJ~ (talk) 11:28, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please make a local announcement nevertheless. --MF-W 16:48, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This user's prior accounts were blocked at en.wiki for sockpuppetry, so we may want to proceed cautiously. MBisanz talk 13:06, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.


CheckUser access

See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.


Oversight access

See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

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 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 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 Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

Not needed anymore. PG (talk) 05:50, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for 24h per standard practice--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 07:48, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done, with thanks for your work. Ajraddatz (talk) 13:42, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

David Ludwig@de.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I have been inactive for a very long time. Wikipedia has changed, the community has changed, and I do not think that I should still be an administrator. Thanks! David Ludwig (talk) 12:17, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since de.wp has its own bureaucrats, I'll forward the request to de.wp to be processed there. ✒ Bennylin 13:52, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
[1] Thanks for your services during these years. ✒ Bennylin 13:55, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
De-wiki 'crats can't remove admin rights, see de:Spezial:Gruppenrechte. --Stryn (talk) 13:58, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Removed. Thanks four you work. RadiX∞ 04:06, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Worm That Turned@en.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I am inactive as a bureaucrat, oversighter and global renamer. I do not believe in holding user-rights for the sake of it and will go through standard re-request processes if I ever feel I will become more active in the future. Please can you remove these user-rights, and if possible remove me from any associated mailing lists. If not possible, please let me know and I'll take steps to remove myself. WormTT 13:39, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you still want to hold your admin bit in en.wp? ✒ Bennylin 13:50, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Enwiki crats can remove admin rights, see Bureaucrat#Removing access (which is in the instructions for this section). --Rschen7754 14:02, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did intend to keep the admin bit, I still have use for that. WormTT 15:00, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thanks for your work. @Trijnstel and Barras: could you take care of mailing lists and IRC accesses? RadiX∞ 04:01, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done for global-renamers. I can't remove him from oversight-l, but I see Worm That Turned is a mailing list admin for that list himself. :) Trijnsteltalk 13:03, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Am I? Not had the password for a while! I'll sort it, thanks :) WormTT 13:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WTT: Yw. You might wish to remove yourself from wikien-bureaucrats as well, if you haven't already (I can't do that either). Trijnsteltalk 21:42, 5 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

DangTungDuong@vi.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

This user has been banned on vietnamese Wikipedia because of misconduct. Please remove his eliminator right accordingly. Thank you. Na Tra (talk) 10:54, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: @Na Tra, you should ask a local bureaucrat, since they are able to do so. Thank you for your understanding, —MarcoAurelio 10:57, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

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

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions
