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.

Pseudacorus@et.wikiquote

Status:    Done

I am submitting a request on behalf of Pseudacorus to renew her admin rights in et.wikiquote. This would be her second time as an admin. --Ehitaja (talk) 11:54, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 2020-09-11 --Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:31, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2021-03-12. 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. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:41, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ozymandias@pt.wikisource

Status:    On hold

I would like to renew my sysop term on pt.Wikisource. The community is small and there are not enough editors to vote. I opened a discussion about this renewal for community appreciation. Ozymandias (talk) 20:36, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 19 September 2020. --Sotiale (talk) 00:23, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jumpy01@cowiki

Status:    On hold

I would like to renew my temporary adminship access (3/6 months) for housekeeping and maintenance tasks. There is no active sysop controlling it in real time. Here is the link of my announcement in local Community Portal. This is my first renewal. Jumpy01 (talk) 07:02, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 16 September 2020. --Sotiale (talk) 07:05, 13 September 2020 (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.

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.

Tvdm@liwiktionary

Status:    Done

Tvdm is globally inactive for a long time. I put a notice on the removal page in line with local regulations. There has been no response, as such, the rights of administrator and bureaucrat can be removed. Thank you! :) --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 07:21, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please link us to your local inactivity policy? Thank you! --Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:27, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is none. This has been discussed before: here. In principle, admins on li.wikt are for life, so the only way to take away the rights is by holding a vote. The vote can be found in the link provided in the template above (inactive user was pinged, no-one replied). --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 15:36, 10 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thank them for their service. --Base (talk) 16:00, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Snek01@cs.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Snek01 has been mostly inactive since May 2019, his last admin action was that year in July. The RfA rule on cswiki states that if a sysop's last action was 6 months ago or more, removal of adminship can be requested here. Therefore I am doing it. Jan Myšák (talk) 19:28, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thank them for their service. --Base (talk) 16:05, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhelion@commonswiki

Status:    Done

Inactivity: Failed to sign within 30 days after notification. A1Cafel (talk) 14:16, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, also removed IA, as per c:Commons:Interface administrators. Thank them for their service! --Base (talk) 16:14, 13 September 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

DannyS712@elwikinews

Status:    On hold

el.wikinews is currently inactive (see Proposals for closing projects/Soft close of Greek Wikinews and n:el:Special:RecentChanges) and the only admin is inactive (n:el:Special:Contributions/Glavkos). I'd like to be granted editor rights for a short while to try and tackle the backlog of pending changes. Some can obviously be accepted, eg around 100 pages where the pending edits result in no net change (https://el.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Κατηγορία:Αιτήματα_για_διαγραφή&diff=cur&oldid=6588), edits by CommonsDelinker (n:el:Special:Contributions/CommonsDelinker), simple image replacements (https://el.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Πρότυπο:Αλγερία&diff=cur&oldid=62894), etc. There does not appear to be a community to request the rights from (the site is soft-closed). Happy to answer any questions. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 16:44, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since the project is soft-closed and not closed, it does have a Café. I would prefer if you drop a note there, especially since you seem to be el-0 (although I realise that the changes you are talking about do not really require any language knowledge). --Base (talk) 18:03, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Commented at n:el:Βικινέα:Καφενείο#Request for editor rights --DannyS712 (talk) 18:54, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold till September 16. --Base (talk) 14:57, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
