Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
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: 

==== 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.

User ubaierbhat@ks.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

Kashmiri Wikipedia has been in a mess for a long time. It has no active contributors. The main page looks like it is vandalised and the script has been changed from persio-arabic (which is the official script for Kashmiri). Some of the articles are in Hindi/Urdu and not in Kashmir. No one has replied to the last user who wanted to become the admin/steward.

Please, login first. And the above link actually leads me nowhere. Ruslik (talk) 18:08, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I updated the link. Ubaier (talk) 15:39, 1 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 5 January 2020 Ruslik (talk) 17:54, 2 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at your account and found that overall you have 94 edits including 2 in kswiki. Don't you think that you need more experience? Ruslik (talk) 15:08, 5 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ubaierbhat: Ruslik (talk) 18:03, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree I don't have many edits. I ideally would have liked someone with more experience to maintain Kashmiri wiki as well, but you can check the site and see it is a mess and unusable. We can wait for some very experienced person who is interested Kashmiri wikipedia. I am not very hopeful about that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Ubaierbhat (talk) 13:04, 7 January 2020 (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]

As I said above: Actually the communuty isn't really existing so that there can't be any vote for permanent adminship. Do you think a local vote is really important in this case. But however, if it may help, information was put here --Les Meloures (talk) 12:11, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • 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.)

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.

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.

By our policy which can be seen in the given link (point no. 2) an administrator needs to have 180 edits in previous 6 months. The user here doesn't meet this requirement. Now, Administrator flags should be removed from his user account as per hindi wiki policy.Ravishdutta (talk) 05:43, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

संजीव is admin on hindi Wikipedia and also contact person of hindi Wikimedia user group. He is active in online and offline activities. So, there is no need to remove his admin rights. In fact, he is focusing on admin job like deletion of pages. Above given discussion link is wrong because there is no any discussion in hindi Wikipedia regarding this. अनिरुद्ध कुमार (talk) 06:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The user is, well, active and the gap is too little to take such action. This applies to the next request also.--SM7--talk-- 07:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The user has enough edits to be called as active (180+ edits in 180 days as per local policy) and his admin works were/are even better in the meanwhile. Above mentioned discussion link is a local policy page and mentioned out of context. The user who has reported this has 50 days old account and still couldn't manage to cross even 10 edits on any single project till now. I mean hypocrisy should have some limit. Needless to say, this argument applies to the next request also. Thanks. --अजीत कुमार तिवारी (talk) 18:08, 7 January 2020 (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
