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.

I don't see how there is consensus to appoint you and Tarmo as sysops. All I see is a number of people willing to become one. --Erwin 15:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see, those discussions are from 2008. We can vote too if that's necessary. — str4nd ⇌ 15:02, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

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.

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.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account.

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). 

==== username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = 
 |user name =  
 |discussion= <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
}}

Herbythyme@cross wiki

Status:    Done

Time to go I think. Please remove admin rights on en wp, commons & here on meta. Please remove CU rights on commons & meta (& request my removal from the mailing list). Please leave rollback on commons & en wp, however I leave any decision on global rollback to the stewards - I may use it, I may not. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 15:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'd prefer leaving your global rollback. Doing the rest...

Joylife@ttwikipedia

Albert Fazlî@ttwikipedia
Status:    Not done
Dolphin@ttwikipedia
Status:    Not done
Hello Yildiz, I am inclined to mark all these as not done, because 3 vote is not much and also one voter has really little contributions an other has also little [3]. Please show us the votings for their sysopship, if the votings there look alike, this might be ok, if not, if they had much votes there, IMHO this request should be closed. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 20:10, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! We had a voting of rules of voting (Sorry for my bad english). Acording to this rules, voting in which 3 people votes is counting as done, and those 2 person can vote acording to rules (Rinatus is translating the interface). The problem in that: we have a little number of peoples, writing in Tatar Wikipedia, so number of voters is small. But we want to clean a list of administrators, because from 8 admins only 2 are active (me and Timming). So we cannot have posibility to have more voters. Tatar Wikipedia is not using by tatars now, because mostly information on latin alphabet. We want to make Tatar Wikipedia popular, but to do it, we must renew Wikipedia, so we want to leave only active administrators, who is doing administrator duties. Pleasr, help us with it! --Yildiz 11:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You wrote "He has no activity since 10 Dec 2007.", so how you explain user contribution? LeinaD (t) 21:31, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it is not true about 10 Dec 2007. He is not active and do not execute his administrator duties. --Yildiz 11:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am sorry, but I am still not convinced, the voters are as said IMHO too few, while one voter has nearly only the votes as contributions (if he is translating that is good, but that does not change my opinion). One of the sysops is even bureaucrat (Albert Fazlî), I am not sure if it is clear to the voters that this right is to be removed too? Also I am still missing a link to the votings, I did not find them myself, but a look at them would have been interesting (how many users participated in the sysop votings).
I am marking this therefore as Not done, but leave it open for a second steward to review, if they disagree, they can reopen or do it, as they wish. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:50, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so disappointed! It means you stop developing of our wikipedia! I wrote you, that we don't have many people in our Wikipedia, We can't collect more votes! So, what must we do????? --Yildiz 13:13, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, how is that stopping the development of tt.wikipedia, these users have been voted sysops, and if they don't return their flag does no harm either, but IMHO it does harm to remove it without a broad consent. But as said other stewards can give their opinion here too. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 14:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Spacebirdy. Few people voting this. Alex Pereira falaê 14:23, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so sorry! Because of your opinion it will be big problem to renew our wikipedia! Please, explain me, how to colect more voters, if there are no active other users? Administrator Timming asked in June, but you said to make a voting of our comunity. We wrote rules about voting and voted for removing administrators. The voting continued 2 weeks. Every user that has 100 changes could vote according to rules. We used Sitenotice, so every user, coming to Tatar Wikipedia could see it. Please say, what we done wrong? --Yildiz 15:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, not done. If there is not enough participation and community consensus, a vote for a flag removal is not valid. An inactive admin in the admin list will not stop your work and could be of hand when back again. --M/ 19:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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:

Aviedit@en.wikipedia-SUL bug access issue

Status:    In progress

(After the system gave me approval to proceed with starting SUL my account, it logged me into Commons okay, but it has done something which is not auto-logging me into Meta, and is actually preventing me from logging in there now. I'm am reluctant to try any more projects, as I don't want to see it break my access to any other projects, even though the SUL is supposed to streamline the login-access process. SUMMARY - Please restore my access to Meta, or kill the account on Meta and I can try it again, or fix the bug. Thanks much) 216.165.234.143 15:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Your sul account looks just fine, please tell us what error message You get and make sure to have a clear cache and to accept cookies! (that might already solve the problem...) Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 01:25, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help :) Here are the points of trouble..

1) At login screen for this meta.Wikipedia location, it tells me "Login error Incorrect password entered. Please try again." ..If the SUL was working it would log me in here too without even requiring a separate login screen. The SUL system had said all was ready to go and approved before I pushed that button to go ahead with it.

2) AT the toolserver http://toolserver.org/~vvv/sulutil.php?user=Aviedit, it reports my account for here as "unattached", leading me to believe it is another bug which did not correctly link my global account together. You can see by the time stamps there that it was after I instituted the SUL attempt, though it does not show my original meta registration date, which should be roughly around the time of my en.Wikipedia registration date (sometime in 2007).

3) Clearly I am the same person (en.Wiki and meta.Wiki), and you can see from my en.Wiki contributions page, and my meta.Wiki file upload, which is a direct subset of my en.Wiki contribution (file at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SamOlyEagle1.png, and contribution at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_(Olympic_mascot)&diff=next&oldid=173290422).

All of this leads me to believe there is a bug in the SUL (which has been noted, there are some bugs), which isn't allowing me to access my account on the meta.Wiki as I previously could. The least likely possibility is that I used a different password over here than at en.Wiki, but that seems very unlikely, since the SUL page gave me the full go-ahead to implement it that everything had checked out alright before I pressed that button, and am now having a problem.

If you need any more info, plz feel free to ask.. Thanks 216.165.234.143 14:52, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can You please try using the password You had before You used sul, or if that does not work, please try password reset. This indeed seems to be a bug, because in special:centralauth the account on Meta is neither unattached nor attached, it simply does not show up at all. There were such occurences in the very beginning, but they were fixed, apparently not completely. However, using the old password or doing a password reset and then merging the account with special:mergeaccount solved the problem. Please try this and report if it works or not. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 17:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Do You see the meta account as unattached one in en:special:mergeaccount? --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 17:37, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Since the account on meta was never used (0 edits) and appeared to have been automatically created yesterday, I've renamed it and the system now correctly says that the name is already taken for SUL if I try to create a new one on meta. Please try now and let us know. Thank you. --M/ 20:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you for your diligence, birdy and M7 .. :) ..I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the toolserver and no longer see the "unattached" message there, and in answer to your question I never did see the Meta account as noted in the special-mergeaccount area.. my clues to the problem were a) seeing the unattached message in the toolserver, b) and the change in status at the top of the screen when going from any other wiki to the Meta wiki, whereas it normally showed logged in, and suddenly at that one it would not be logged in, even after clearing the cache from before.

Before I login, how would you like me to proceed.. should I login at my Home Wiki and proceed as standard by going to the others and the Meta after that, to see if it logs me in the way the system is intended, or should I first (before logging in anywhere) go to the Meta and login independently there? When dealing with bugs, I don't want to take a chance on undoing what you seem to have fixed. :) ..Thanks 216.165.234.143 01:23, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
