Jasper asked me to take a look at this as an uninvolved bureaucrat (I also discussed the matter a bit with MZMcBride). I agree that the sysopping was inappropriate and should be reverted.

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:

Edinwiki@bs.wikiquote

After a temporal adminship, I would like to request a permanent adminship. The community is relatively small, but nonetheless, I think that my admin support will be of good use. -- Edinwiki (talk) 08:21, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With just three votes only a temporal adminship can be given. Ruslik (talk) 19:06, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Temp adminship extended for a year. Bennylin 13:17, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you not aware that your bureaucrat rights were removed because of this? --MF-W 19:41, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would not say that I was not known but not confirmed if it was a mistake as the points stated for removal seems not covering me, Anyways I had stated the present consensus and further Hi wikipedia is seriously lacking a crat. So I reiterate the request. --Ashish Bhatnagartalk 03:26, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What is the status of this request?☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 05:49, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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>

Hercule@wuu.wikipedia

7 supports from autoconfirmed users between July 27 and August 29. --GZWDer (talk) 10:21, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that amongst those, in at least 4 cases the account was created specifically for the vote (noted by an IP on the page, confirmed myself for 守望者爱孟, Coolmanjackey , Fayhoo , JuneAugust). DarkoNeko (talk) 11:39, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On hold pending an investigation into abuse of process (e.g., sockpuppets) and for the RfC to run its course QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:16, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Check completed. CheckUser evidence suggests the accounts are unrelated and therefore there is no evidence of sock puppetery vote stacking or other abuse. QuiteUnusual (talk) 23:45, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sh.wiktionary removals

Francis Tyers@sh.wiktionary

Inactive 6 years. --Kolega2357 (talk) 15:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, notify this user (and all users below) about this request on their talk page. Ruslik (talk) 10:43, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Comment sh.wiktionary is affected by the admin activity review process (here) and the rights will probably be soon removed anyway. Trijnsteltalk 17:38, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've started the notification process. Meanwhile we can put this here on hold or as not done. --MF-W 16:22, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@MF-Warburg: User has notified, no answer. --Kolega2357 (talk) 23:46, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This will be done no earlier than 26 October in the AAR procedure. Meanwhile I set it to not done --MF-W 20:12, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Id@sh.wiktionary

Inactive 5 years. --Kolega2357 (talk) 15:23, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This will be done no earlier than 26 October in the AAR procedure. Meanwhile I set it to not done --MF-W 20:12, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Cabrilo@sh.wiktionary

Remove bureaucrat and sysop flag. Inactive 6 years. --Kolega2357 (talk) 18:37, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • As much as I would love to, I doubt I'll be coming back any time soon. My edits in the last 6 years (wow, has it been that long!) were mostly minor and anonymous. Please proceed with this, I can't contribute much any longer. --Cabrilo (talk) 16:33, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Thank you for what you have done.—Teles «Talk to me ˱C L @ S˲» 06:06, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

sk.wikiquote

Note : This section won't be automatically archived by the bot Per local policy on permission removals because of inactivity.

This editor is only just inactive per the policy so agree should be removed. However, it would be preferable to contact the editor as a courtesy, especially as the inactivity policy was only introduced two weeks ago. QuiteUnusual (talk) 08:59, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
This editor is also a bureaucrat. I believe your inactivity policy means both rights should be removed - please confirm QuiteUnusual (talk) 08:59, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As the bureaucrat is add-on to the admin rights, yes, both should be removed. Thanks for care.
Danny B. 17:33, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks QuiteUnusual (talk) 19:44, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tinz@dewiki

Please remove the checkuser rights of this account. This user has been elected in September 2011 for two years but he didn't run for reelection according to local policy, see w:de:Wikipedia:Checkuser#Checkuser-Berechtigte and w:de:Wikipedia:Checkuser/Wahl/September 2013. Thanks, --Wnme (talk) 22:58, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Trijnsteltalk 10:57, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mushii@eswiki

According to the local policy, the inactive sysops and bureaucrats for 2 or more years (with less than 50 administrative actions) will be removed from their flags. BetoCG (talk) 23:03, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DonePlease thank Mushii for his/her work. -- Avi (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amire80@Wikidata

Inactivity, local policy. Does not appear to have made 10 administrator actions in the last six months. --Delsion23 (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Also for the other two requests, I found out myself that they have made less than 10 admin actions etc. --MF-W 20:05, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

JerichoNation@ms.wikipedia

...Aurora... (talk) 03:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From what I read in the talk pages there's seem to be a conflict between bureaucrats and that user, which led you (a ms.wp 'crat) to put the request here. Since it was a personal request by the user, and ms.wp 'crat posted it here, I've carried out the request. Bennylin 13:42, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

peterfitzgerald@en.wikivoyage

Please remove my bureaucrat and admin status on the three above wikis, per my own request, as I will no longer be editing. There is no local capacity on these wikis to remove bureaucrat flags. --Peter Talk 18:56, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend this be put on hold for the standard 24 hours. --Rschen7754 19:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until at least 2 Oct, 18:56 UTC. --MF-W 19:15, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Btw you are also an importer on en.wy. I assume you want to resign from that as well. --MF-W 19:18, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry, please also remove my importer flag. --Peter Talk 19:22, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fram@mediawikiwiki

This +sysop does not have the support of the local community (no RfA) and on IRC, several users are outraged about it, especially given that this user was blocked yesterday. As a local 'crat, I thus request this to be reverted, as local 'crats cannot desysop on this wiki.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:27, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For perspective, bureaucrats can grant sysop rights ad-hoc on this wiki, without a RfA; one chose to do so, which is how this happened. I'm obviously involved in the matter, but I would have to agree that this was a controversial choice for sysop. --Rschen7754 05:32, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It might be useful to wait for a comment from the 'crat who granted the rights. Snowolf How can I help? 05:34, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Concur; this user was blocked for 24 hours and warned for continued uncivil behavior on the wiki. His being granted +sysop is out of bound and frankly outrageous. The fact that MzMcbride's reasoning amounts to "help out with documentation" - which does not require +sysop - is laughable. --Jorm (WMF) (talk) 05:36, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Who's MzMcbride? --MZMcBride (talk) 05:38, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would think that there would be more interesting things to discuss than proper capitalization of your username, MZ. These gentlemen have come here to ask for the reversal of a 'crat action you've taken. Your input on the matter would be appreciated. Snowolf How can I help? 05:40, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My talk page is here: mw:User talk:MZMcBride. I'm sure all of these users first posted there prior to posting here. That would only be reasonable, right? To be clear: my action was not a mistake and I'm not asking for it to be reversed. This is a local community issue (sort of) and, as far as I'm aware, the stewards do not get involved in such matters. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:45, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jasper Deng is a long-time user here. I would think he would know that this request can't be fulfilled by stewards. I'm not sure what the point of filing it is/was. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No. I would consider this action on behalf of myself, a local bureaucrat. The point is, this was so out-of-line that on behalf of the local community, it should be reverted.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:42, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Err, you seem to be taking a pretty strong stand here. Yet you haven't disclosed that you're involved (read: not considered impartial with respect to) this user. This is troubling. :-/ --MZMcBride (talk) 06:03, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think at this stage, this matter warrants local discussion before any actions are taken by us. While I understand the concerns brought up, which are entirely reasonable, the user has not make any admin actions as far as I understand it, and it seems unlikely that it be problematic for the matter to be put on hold while a local discussion is held to properly consult Mediawiki.org's community and hear their opinion on the matter. This to me seems the most efficient way to solve the issues brought up here. Is that feasible? Snowolf How can I help? 05:57, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jasper asked me to take a look at this as an uninvolved bureaucrat (I also discussed the matter a bit with MZMcBride). I agree that the sysopping was inappropriate and should be reverted. It seems a bit strange to insist that community consensus is required to -sysop when the +sysop was done in the absence of any consensus. Still, if the stewards feel that a consensus is required, I'm sure one can be shown. Emufarmers (talk) 06:10, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"For perspective, bureaucrats can grant sysop rights ad-hoc on this wiki, without a RfA; one chose to do so, which is how this happened." While you've established that you feel it was inappropriate and should be reverted, you didn't provide any reason or rationale. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:54, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have opened a discussion at mw:User talk:Fram#Your edits to VisualEditor, although MediaWiki.org has no centralized discussion location. mw:Project:Current issues.--Jasper Deng (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Jan Ainali (WMSE)@svwiki

Ainali requests to be Account creator, as far as I understand permanently, i.e. until inactivity or own request. Ainali is a very well trusted user, former sysop (he resigned after the incident in France) and is staff in the wmse-chapter. He needs this tool for workshops and education. -- Lavallen 14:57, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
