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.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Interface administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

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 translatewiki.net 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.

Holder@bar.wikipedia

On Bavarian Wikipedia we have e bureaucrat (Birne), but unfortunately he is inactive since about four months. The bureaucrat has been informed by mail, but hasn't answered so far. Holder 15:58, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment note - See bureaucrat request below. Kylu 02:14, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Holder@bar.wikipedia

On Bavarian Wikipedia we have e bureaucrat (Birne), but unfortunately he is inactive since about four months. So the community decided to make a request for another bureaucrat. The bureaucrat has been informed by mail, but hasn't answered so far. Holder 15:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When did you email Birne? Also, opinions at Requests_for_comment/Minimum_voting_requirements#Minimum_requirements_to_elect_Bureaucrats would be lovely. :) Kylu 16:32, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Two days ago. Ok, perhaps it's therefore a bit early for a request on meta :-) Holder 17:38, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zawthet@Myanmar Wikipedia

I would like to request for Bureaucrat access in Myanmar Wikipedia as there is no active local Bureaucrat. Zawthet 09:36, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um, while it's awfully nice of you to pre-decline the request diff, you should probably wait at least a couple weeks first and see if you get some votes. Kylu 02:14, 2 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RajeshPandey@ne.wikipedia

There are no bureaucrats in Nepali wikipedia. I am a wikimania scholar, had been to Wikimania Gdansk 2010, and I have been an administrator in Nepali wiki before 2007. We need a bureaucrat. I hope this will be helpful. Thanks. --RajeshPandey 20:24, 2 October 2010 (UTC) from ne:user:RajeshPandey[reply]

Unless I am hallucinating, discussion you linked to doesn't seem to exist. Shanel 08:58, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The link was broken; now fixed, but just 1 day old. SJ · talk | translate 23:48, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please leave your discussion open for two weeks. Kylu 23:45, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Peterdownunder@simplewiki

For Simple Wikipedia, NonvocalScream 07:59, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He is already identified with the Foundation. --Bsadowski1 08:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Done Shanel 08:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Huji@fawiki

per discussion above , as local crat , i closed the RFCU as successful , i have requested from the user to send identification to the foundation as soon as possible Mardetanha talk 17:51, 28 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My office confirmation is fulfilled but as we need to have at least two CUs to begin, please wait until User:ماني is also confirmed (in terms of personal identification). Huji 12:55, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

ماني@fawiki

per discussion above , as local crat , i closed the RFCU as successful , i also asked from the user to send identification to the foundation as soon as possible Mardetanha talk 17:51, 28 September 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.

Removal of access

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

Innv@ruwikinews

She were blocked. --Дмитрий talk+ 14:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We still need a policy or a decicion by the community to remove the rights... Laaknor 19:00, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Laaknor, I don't think that makes sense. This is a confirmed sockpuppet account which was only created to see how many flags a sock can get... Seb az86556 22:42, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There was some discussion on the admins' noticeboard, although I'm not sure it counts as local consensus for desysopping since there was only one person who proposed that. Anyway, if the community supports an indefinite block of the account I can't see how they would support the same user retaining admin rights in the project. Jafeluv 23:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I would second what laaknor said here , we need policy decision by the local community Mardetanha talk 14:53, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am an admin at Russian Wikinews and I support this desysop request. The details on the case can be found at Requests for comment/Locally indef-blocked global sysops and Meta:Requests for adminship/Innv (removal). Please remove admin rights of this user in Russian Wikinews, the user is already blocked there. Ssr 14:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Supporting the desysop-request doesn't matter; you need to discuss it locally on ruwikinews, not here. The ruwikinews community needs to remove the rights, stewards only act on what ruwikinews decides, but the ruwikinews isn't on meta, they're on ruwikinews. Until you actually vote on it locally, this request is Not done Laaknor 14:55, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Does this mean we only have to arrange a voting page at ruwikinews and collect some votes? How many votes are required? Ssr 15:57, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please make a formal request for de-adminship on the project and wait a week. About the minimum number, it is not written in a stone and it is difficult to me to say a number. Regards, --dferg ☎ talk 18:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

jeroen@nlwikipedia

Please remove my sysop status? Thanks in advance. Jeroen 17:51, 3 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
