As my time available for Wikipedia-ing (and especially Oversighting) has been reduced over the last 6 months because of family and work commitments, I need to ask for my OS permission to be removed, as I have only used it on rare occasions in the time. I am hoping that the situation Wikipedia-time-wise will improve within the next year, whereupon I will hope to re-seek the OS flag! Please note that the OS permission is the ''only'' one I require to be removed - I still get to go online from time to time and do some admin-actions, it's just that at those times there are no requests outstanding for OSing! ---- '''''[[User:Phantomsteve|<font color="#307D7E">Phantom</font><font color="#55CAFA">Steve</font>]]'''''/[[User talk:Phantomsteve|<font color="#008000">talk</font>]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/Phantomsteve|<font color="#000080">contribs</font>]]\ 23:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

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:

{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion=

Administrator access

Steward requests/Permissions/Sysop-header

Mayur@hiwikibooks

Status:    Not done

I had been a sysop temporary for 3 months, now my temporary adminship period is about to finish.I want to request for permanent adminship for hi wikibooks--Mayur (talk•Email) 16:37, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That request is from March 2011. If you want permanent adminship on that project you need to open a new request. Regards, -- Dferg ☎ talk 22:15, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I asked for permanent adminship last time but i was assigned temperory adminship by Mav with a comment that if everythink goes fine during thses 3 month period he will support permanent adminship.I don't know why after gaining 9 votes in favour i was granted 3 month temporary adminship.if Still it is not possible plz exetnd my temporary approval for 1 year.Regards--Mayur (talk•Email) 13:18, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
please open a new request, as said Dfreg. I'll grant you temp for the period, until you get support for permanent. Matanya 13:22, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As i said my last request was for permanent adminship not for 3 month trial period, i would have to add new request if i had requested for temporary admin right earlier.--Mayur (talk•Email) 13:27, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I understood that, but since you've got temp, a new local request is needed to get the permanent right. If you prefer not to open a new local request, I'll be happy to grant you 1 year temp. What do you prefer? Matanya 13:34, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for being so humble to me, Plz close this request as "Notdone" as i don't want to play this temporary adminship game inspite of getting clear consensus. As there are no policies on meta regarding this i can't blame you or any stewards.Again thanks for your polite and humble reply--Mayur (talk•Email) 13:47, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to hear. I marked as not done, but I'd like to see you here soon, again. Matanya 13:52, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Ozymandias@ptwikiversity

Status:    In progress

According to the community vote, please grant bureaucrat access for Ozymandias@ptwikiversity. He is a sysop only since a month ago, but was previously from May 2008 to February 2010 (resigned). 555 21:57, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

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>

Vaoverland@en.wikipedia

Status:    Done

The editor has sadly passed away and the guidelines (en:Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/Guidelines, they really have thought of everything) state that any "bits" should be removed to prevent any potential compromising of the account. --Woody 23:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done sorry to hear. Matanya 23:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Phantomsteve@en.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

As my time available for Wikipedia-ing (and especially Oversighting) has been reduced over the last 6 months because of family and work commitments, I need to ask for my OS permission to be removed, as I have only used it on rare occasions in the time. I am hoping that the situation Wikipedia-time-wise will improve within the next year, whereupon I will hope to re-seek the OS flag! Please note that the OS permission is the only one I require to be removed - I still get to go online from time to time and do some admin-actions, it's just that at those times there are no requests outstanding for OSing! ---- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:25, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

Four users@thwikipedia

Status:    Done

During the test of new Abuse filter extension on Thai Wikipedia, I (user name: Taweetham) have accidentally lost auto-confirm status. The other three users (user names: Aristitleism, Sasakubo1717, Octahedron80) lost theirs too because of filter #2 that I have set up. The filter is now deactivated by other admin but we still cannot retrieve our status. Local sysops and bureaucrats have tried their best to fixed this but to no avail. So, requesting help here is our last resort solution. Please kindly restore auto-confirm status on th.wikipedia for four of us (Taweetham, Aristitleism, Sasakubo1717, Octahedron80). Thank you very much. --Taweetham 03:04, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you prefer if every action of that filter is undone, or if only your 4 users autoconfirmed status is restored? Which is better likely depends on how many other users were impacted. Prodego talk 03:44, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. No other (unblocked) users were affected. —Pathoschild 03:53:49, 08 May 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for restoration. But I have to say that certain functions are still locked and therefore unable to be used, such as special characters under text box and Scripts. And I guest that the three other users suffer with the same also. --Aristitleism 04:23, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
After discussion, it is local problem, not in connection with this restoration or filter. Sorry. --Aristitleism 04:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thank you very much. We have just introduced a number of MediaWiki extensions and upgrades resulting in a mess like this one. As my autoconfirm status is restored, I can now clear up other problems at local site myself. --Taweetham 05:31, 8 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
