This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

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-stewards^connect 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 on-wiki approval of your local community.

Using this page

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request (or other means of confirming that the request has approval), and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Thank you. ~~~~

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.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

f.noceti@lij.wikipedia.org

I request sysop access.

Language Code: lij
Local Request Link: lij:Project:Administrators/candidati
Automatic List of local bureaucrats: lij:Project:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
Local User Page: lij:User:f.noceti

Thank you. 79.7.85.61 20:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please link to the election page. --Thogo (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Checked out. There isn't any election/request page--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 21:24, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want you tell me what exactly I've to do. I only want to take the ligurian project and try to give to it a dignity. Now it hasn't an uniform writing, I intend to change all pages with the official writing explained on www.zeneize.net . If someone can tell to me what I've exactly to do I'll do it. If there is someone that tell me in italian I'll understand better, otherwise in english i better than nothing. Thank you very much. --87.14.126.56 10:39, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks to Thogo. I ask you to tell me for any other possible mistake. --87.14.126.56 10:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have a vote going now... wait for that to come to a conclusion. In any case I suggest you register an account here at Meta, crosslink it to another wiki where you have some significant contributions. However adminship does not give you license to change content unilaterally, only to fight vandalism and the like. To effect changes, make proposals for changes or improvements on that wiki and gain consensus from the local community... it looks like there is a local community. ++Lar: t/c 20:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Smeira@vowiktionary

I request bureaucrat access.

Language Code: vo
Local Request Link: wikt:vo:Vükivödabuk:Sysop_access#Geban:Smeira
Automatic List of local bureaucrats: wikt:vo:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat (no)
Local User Page: wikt:vo:User:Smeira

Thank you. --_~Innv^s: 04:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On hold because the voting started on 20th of May, and there are only 3 votes so far. Please wait at least one week. Thanks!--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 11:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. 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: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

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@commonswiki

I request removal of access.

Language Code: commons
Local Confirmation/Request Link: See my matrix etc.
Local User Page: commons:User:Majorly

Thank you. Majorly ^talk 01:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 01:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

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, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

It is preferred that translations of the interface is done at betawiki: so that all MediaWiki wikis can use the translation. Cbrown1023 talk 01:38, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Takutsugusuppuquiki, this sounds great, and I would like to grant You the flag, but please translate the interface at betawiki: only, if there are already lots of translations on iu.wiki that You want to have imported to betawiki, please ask for it at betawiki:Import requests. Please register an account there, leave a message at betawiki:Betawiki:Translator and You will get the translator flag immediately. Many thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 09:49, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation
Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes
Please make sure you have your accounts renamed before merging them. Thanks. ~Kylu (u|t) 00:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
