Revision as of 20:26, 23 November 2009

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.


Nesnad@chr.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hello! I think that one of the things slowing down input on the Cherokee Wikipedia is that many people don't know how to input the non-roman characters into the computer. A helpful user on the Navajo Wikipedia has taught me how to create an input bar (that is in use on Navajo Wikipedia) for use on Cherokee Wikipedia. I request temporary Admin rights so I can impliment this, in the hope of making Cherokee Wikipedia easier to use for those who do not know how to setup a Cherokee keyboard and what not. Thanks in advance, wado. Nesnad 13:26, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Bureaucrat access

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

Marmzok@ckb.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

I got admin access now, but we have no user with Bureaucrat accesses. You said: "A small community generally doesn't require a local bureaucrat, because stewards can easily handle the low traffic of requests from that wiki with little delay; generally a user with this access is not needed until several local administrators are present.". Now we need a steward for give a bot flag but even we dont know how to find him. Thus I repeat my request for Bureaucrat access. Kind Regards --Marmzok 07:01, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Smooth O@bs.wiki

Status:    In progress

Election done. --WizardOfOz 09:33, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User is not yet identified to the WMF. This needs to be done before access can be granted. I've posted information about the procedure at his talk page. --Erwin 09:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this user requested CU rights in last month: Steward requests/Permissions/2009-10#Smooth O@bs.wikipedia. LeinaD (t) 17:00, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note:@ Leinad and he was elected by the rules of bs.wiki. Dungodung wanted more votes and so we extended the election. The result are 10 more votes of support and two which doesn´t count (not enough edits by election rules). It is the same election just extended.--WizardOfOz 18:22, 22 November 2009 (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.
Note that this section 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. Please remember - should you have more than one flag - to state clearly which you wish to remove and which to retain.

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 -->
}}

Bocianski@plWikipedia

Status:    Done
Done - thank you for your service to the Polish Wikipedia. Your rights on be-x-old:wp have not been modified. ++Lar: t/c 03:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sjc@enWikipedia

Status:    In progress

After a number of recent unpleasant experiences with Wikipedia, I am of the opinion that I no longer wish to be associated in any way with the project whatsoever; I can only reflect on what a pleasure it was in the early days and what a deeply divided, hostile and abusive community it has now become. I request herewith admin status removal as I won't be needing it again. Sjc 09:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC) (BTW my global account does not appear to be very global and probably needs bugging)[reply]

Please, make an edit in your talk page on enwp, about this request. Thanks. Alex Pereira falaê 12:27, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Manning Bartlett@enwiki

Status:    Done
Done. Thank you for your work. --M/ 13:38, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Amdf@mhr.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hello. After the local voting our community decided to remove administration access of user Amdf. The election started 10/11/2009 and ended 19/11/2009. 50% has voted agains this user, while the user needs 2/3 of all votes to become an administrator. Thanks. ПешСай 17:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't clear to us. Amdf did have your temp sysop flag extended to May 15 2010, make a local announcement here. Alex Pereira falaê 12:44, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Amdf post a message to prolong his administrative access. But we begun a local voting. The result of the voting is to give administrative access for user ПешСай, and to remove access for user Amdf (because two of four votes are agains). I have made an announcement here. --ПешСай 18:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are doing very strange things, I think. I don't know why you want to remove my temporary sysop access after all my work in mhr wikipedia. I want to havem my temp sysop rights until May 15 2010, and I will not ask to prolong it after. амдф 18:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The voting have made such decision. It is not comfortable for our community to have administrator, who don't know native language at all. And I have told you(Amdf) that you have made you work with mistakes, after which we spend a time to fix them.--ПешСай 19:08, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Are sure that having two administrators is not better than just one, at least for a limited amount of time? If you abstain, User:Amdf has 2/3 of votes. As you know, Stewards will not decide for your community, but given that it's a small one, I think that most of us will feel much more confortable if you decide to cooperate in order to achive the best results. Thank you, M/ 12:34, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am sure. Mhr wikipedia is not too big to have several administrators. One admin will be able to watch and track whole activity in project. I don't want to abstain in the vote. I wouldn't be so insistent if Amdf's work was definitly good. Amdf have made mistakes, and doesn't know language at all. This two points let down development of Mhr Wikipedia. Stewards, please make attention to the fact, that this is the wish of community and the result of voting. Thanks. --ПешСай 17:10, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I will fullfill this request, after having jotted down that the only other user opposing User:Amdf had 83 edits at the date of the poll. A CU was negative. Any comments from other stewards? --M/ 17:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If Amdf don't help mhr:wp, he don't need tools. Don't speak local language, to me, isn't a problem... Alex Pereira falaê 18:28, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What is the problem, Guys? This is the local voting. The rule in the voting says that participate may anyone, who had made at lease one edit in Main namespaces before the start of the voting. --ПешСай 19:40, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don't afraid that I'm a spamer or any other bad guy. I'm don't. I have translated the whole most used messages for Mhr:wp, and have made a lot of affords in incubator. So, it is my interest to make Wp:Mhr better. And I don't understand why you are delaying the decision made by the community during the voting.--ПешСай 19:49, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hamham,Dersonlwd,Farm@zhwikip

Status:    Done
Status:    Done
Status:    Done

All of the 3 sysops have asked for removal of their access at zhwikip, see the discussion links. --Kegns 10:37, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the flag. Please thank all three users for their work as sysop on zh.wikipedia. --M/ 12:15, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Razorflame@simplewikt

Status:    Done

Please remove both my sysop and bureaucrat bits. Thanks, Razorflame 02:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Per your request (note that this was corrected to remove the request to remove Global Rollback, so that was not removed). Thank you for your service to the projects. ++Lar: t/c 02:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Restored per your request on IRC. —Pathoschild 02:22:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Done again. After further discussion with Pathoschild and other stewards, I have removed the bits again. A request to remove bits can be granted by Stewards. A request to restore them, even if given in 1 minute after the request was handled, cannot be. It is up to the community process to restore them to the user. Razorflame, speak to a local bureaucrat about restoring your permissions.
Note, if necessary, we can have a discussion about this, should there be a needed clarification of policy, but it is my view that this is the current situation. ++Lar: t/c 02:44, 23 November 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:
