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 this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Mirzali@diq.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

We need an admin in Zazaki Wikipedia, who will hep us. Mirzali is cut out for this job, he helps a lot and he is doing a very good job. Vuzorg (talk) 19:28, 6 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mirzali is editing the articles of Zazaki Wikipedia for years with diligence and accuracy. As an admin he would be a great help for us other admins. --Asmeno (talk) 20:52, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please, start a local discussion and place a link to it here. Ruslik (talk) 08:48, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Vuzorg, do you have an explanation on what is going on in that discussion? While I think it is valid in general, as there are genuine contributors voting, I also see it being overwhelmed by people who seem to have specifically registered to leave their vote on that page. Was there some call on social media given? In general it is a very discouraged practice. It is absolutely fine if there are few voters, but those voters should be community members. --Base (talk) 02:10, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Base! This is a new kind of sabotage. Some people don't seem to want to grow up. Where they once used to attack directly and to accuse wrongly, now they apply a new tactic. Unfortunately, this is our dilema for years in this project. I don't want to do any dirty laundry, but to clarify the matter, I have to mention some incidents of the past.
First, there is an admin who has not contributed for years. That's why he was once disempowered by the administration. However, he regained his administrative rights by lying and cheating, addressing the Kurds who supported him.
Second, there is someone who is constantly on riots with us. He uses multiple usernames and makes a mess, though he's not nearly proficient in that language. For that reason, he was also permanently blocked, which ultimately had no effect. Because he still interferes under different names.
Now a few things to me, I am one of the founders who has been involved in this project since 2006. I was also one of the administrators at the beginning. However, I was banished by the administration because I had to deal with the above mentioned persons all the time. Again, they have taken advantage of the support of the Kurds. Not to mention whether the supporters were members or not, was not important to them. The main thing is that they have reached their goal with lies and deception.
I don't know exactly who is hiding among the non-members of the community. Whether this is a game of the above mentioned persons, or even again a participation of the Kurds, I don't know as I said. However, one thing is clear, that they are at work again with their craftiness.
I hope that under these circumstances you will still make a positive decision for me. It's not about my own person, but the project is even more important to me to get on with it. With best regards! -- Mirzali (talk) 10:54, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The main reason why you was desysoped in the past was the abuse of adminship by you. What have you done to address those concerns? Ruslik (talk) 19:07, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Ruslik! The duty of an administrator is also the protection of the project. Should I have the project stopped by incompetent people of the language? Not to mention all slander, accusations and insults. I still have not taken it personally. It's just about the further development of the project. Every useful contribution must be considered and used. Nevertheless, each language has its own spelling and grammar. We also have the right to correct the mistakes. This can't be done by alleged Zazas who don't speak the language, nor by the Kurds. And when I made corrections every time, they accused me of abusing my adminship. If this is considered a personal insult or rejection, I do not know how to proceed. With best regards! -- Mirzali (talk) 14:45, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Harshil169@gu.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Greetings, there are no active contributors on the both projects and lots of maintenance work is pending on these two projects. Additionally, to import new pages and block vandal IPs, these rights are required. These projects are flagship projects of Gujarati Wikipedia and RfA was held. Out of 7 active contributors, 5 supported me. Regards,--Harshil169 (talk) 07:20, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MJL: consensus was abolished after stewards refused to make anyone as admin on the basis of voting on gu@wikipedia. Community decided to revive the gu@wiktionary project and we’re doing so. Within 3 months, we’ll hold an election there.—Harshil169 (talk) 16:47, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Harshil169: Ah, gotcha. I think maybe that happened because no project I can name really has ever outsourced voting to another project like that. It's not unheard of, though. Simple English Wikipedia has a policy called Wikipedia:Follow English Wikipedia, but that really isn't exactly the same thing.
Are you going to withdraw this request? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 16:58, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@MJL: please see my explanation below on gu wikiquote section that why I requested on gu Wikipedia. —Harshil169 (talk) 17:00, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Harshil169: I saw that, but what I'm saying is that it isn't generally what happens. Normally, if you are trying to restart a project what you do is that make a post on w:gu:વિકિકોશ:સમુદાય_મુખપૃષ્ઠ saying you intend to run for adminship, and then you let everyone on the Wikipedia project know about it. Then they just post their support there.
I know it sounds odd to hold an adminship discussion in an inactive project, but that's what generally happens. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 17:09, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The rights are requested in gu.wikiquote but the link is to gu.wikipedia? Ruslik (talk) 20:25, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: There’re no active contributors at both gu.wikiquote and gu.wiktionary. Also for administrator access of gu.wikisource, requests are being done here because gu.wikipedia is parent project. —Harshil169 (talk) 02:40, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Requests must be always made on the projects where the permissions are requested. Ruslik (talk) 12:48, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: Main problem is there are no active contributors who can vote. Here was my request which gained zero votes in 7 days. Also, Sushant savla has requested on gu.wikipedia for interface rights of gu.wikisource and it got approved even. Check and coincidentally you had approved request. Now, if this can't proceed then please tell alternative way to get community consensus.--Harshil169 (talk) 13:32, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I made an error and probably the permission should be removed. Ruslik (talk) 19:46, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have some serious concerns about both of these requests. For starters, the lack of edits by the requestor and second, they are fresh off a block (with TPA revoked) elsewhere for personal attacks, misconduct and an inability to resolve disputes in a collaborative manner. This is not what we expect from editors who seek adminship on any project. Praxidicae (talk) 13:54, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
English is my third language and indeed I am bad of communicating in that language. The issue was solved and Gujarati wiki community has voted in favor of me.--Harshil169 (talk) 14:23, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It is disingenuous to present your block as a language issue. Praxidicae (talk) 14:28, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
With that recent history I don't believe it is appropriate to grant you what could be mis-exercised as sole editorial authority on a project. Vermont (talk) 15:03, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aue Nai@mnw.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I want to request adminship for Mon Wikipedia [2]. I would like to contribute the open knowledge and help for education as i learnt from SDG. I believed that wikipedia was the core for building the knowledge for various society. Thus i want to spend and contribute the knowledge for all, especially for Mon Wikipedia. Thank you. Aue Nai (talk)

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2020-03-13. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. Ruslik (talk) 11:52, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

User dsvyas@gu.wiki

Status:    In progress

Hi, gu.wikipedia has only 2 admins and no Bureaucrats hence editing Mediawiki namespace pages have become difficult since creation of this new usergroup and none of us 2 having the rights. I have been updating a few pages in this name space in past, can you please grant me the Interface Administrator access there? Thanks.--DhavalTalk 11:38, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Was there a local discussion? If not, please start one and place a link to it here. Masum Reza☎ 15:16, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Local discussion here, the message in Gujarati (જો કોઈને મને Inrterface Administrator Rights મળવા સામે વિરોધ હોય તો કૃપા કરી નીચે પોતાનો વિરોધ નોંધાવશો.) states that if anyone opposes the proposal they should comment. No opposition so far.--DhavalTalk 10:08, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access

See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Oversight access

See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

User !Silent@pt.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hi, please give to !Silent oversight access for one year, according community decision. He already signed the term and already is oversighter. Thanks! Rafael (stanglavine) msg 11:27, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

  • 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 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 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 Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

User UAwiki@es.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Please remove his sysop and bureaucrat rights. UAwiki has less than 50 admin logs in last 2 years,[3][4] and his account does not satisfy with local policy. Thanks. -- Leoncastro (talk) 21:35, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User Ashok modhvadia@gu.wiki

Status:    Done

User Ashok modhvadia has been inactive since 27th August 2017. Being a fellow admin, I contacted him through his talkpage and have sent him email, none of which are responded to. There was a community member requesting removal of his admin rights a few months back and hence above discussions.--DhavalTalk 10:16, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, I would like to resign from the checkuser permission. Please dont wait for the usual 24h. Thank you. Tuga1143 (talk) 11:17, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions

Vorlod@frwikiquote

Status:    Done

Is for the Importer rights. Thanks Vorlod (talk) 12:17, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Is it for temporary or permanent? — regards, Revi 10:30, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: It's for permanent rights. Regards, Vorlod (talk) 11:27, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that you want to import pages from other projects: Is it within Wikimedia? Given that you are sysop, you can make use of Special:Import to import directly (called transwiki-import) from other wikis without touching XML (which is super duper hyper sensitive -- for the reason that you can change the attribution of the edit which is hard to notice) I can help you making that possible from e.g. enwikiquote, enwiki, etc etc. — regards, Revi 12:02, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi:The rights allow me immediately to import models from Wikidata while keeping the allocation of contributors, unfortunately the import tools does not support Wikidata. Otherwise, I have already used the import tool with XML files on another wiki using MediaWiki so I should get there (normally). --Vorlod (talk) 12:16, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It can be made to support Wikidata. Do you want me (as an individual, not a steward tho) to do that? :P — regards, Revi 12:17, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, you can. :D --Vorlod (talk) 12:24, 7 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: Otherwise do not bother, I'll just import the XML files (with temporary rights). Thank you --Vorlod (talk) 20:29, 8 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

┌───────────────────────┘
 Sorry, was busy IRL. Done Granted for 1 month to expire on 2020-01-13. , let's talk about adding Wikidata elsewhere while you work on an immediate problem. — regards, Revi 01:33, 13 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
