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.

Administrator access

Reder@roa-tara.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Hi, roa-tara is my home wiki, I count more than 10.000 edits and I'm an admin here by more than two years. I have already passed various elections and reconfirmations but the community isn't large enough to have a good number of votes, so I always had to have a temporary administrator access. I would ask if you can to grant me a permanent access. If you can't, I kindly ask you to renew my access for another year. Thank you in advance. --Reder (talk) 18:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please leave a note on the community page for this year. As long as there are no opposes, extension should not be an issue. --Jyothis (talk)

 On hold until 7 March, see the new vote for this year. Trijnstel (talk) 16:25, 1 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
extended by one year. Matanya (talk) 00:15, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Billinghurst@meta

Status:    Done

Very clear result, more than enough votes. As steward and checkuser elsewhere, he is already identified. Thanks, -Barras talk 10:36, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done and congrats. PeterSymonds (talk) 10:39, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Palnatoke@dawiki

Status:    In progress

I asked for another year of access or 'until further notice'. Of 29 voters, 3 opted for a year, while 27 opted for 'until further notice'. Palnatoke (talk) 11:36, 9 March 2012 (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>

Thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 23:34, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold on hold for 24 h (aka. "prussian night" ;-) a×pdeHello! 23:36, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
??? --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 23:40, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Stewards decided to put all self requests on hold for 24 hours. Some users change their mind, some times the community tries to convince the user ... a×pdeHello! 23:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

aha. this is final. there is nothing to convince, as this is no option. i am not a person of rushed decisions. --geimfyglið :^╡ 00:13, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure this is your way of looking at this, but the stewards have set a rule for themselves, so if there's no immediate problem as a compromised account just wait that day ;-) a×pdeHello! 00:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Btw. ... Geimfyglið or Spacebirdy? a×pdeHello! 00:22, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

problem? no, it is just nevermind. i think the request is very unambiguous - it does say Spacebirdy. the other does not have any rights anywhere anyway... --geimfyglið :^╡ 05:40, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
