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.

Lokesha Kunchadka@kn.wikitionary

Status:    Not done

I am active editer in Tulu, Kannada wikipedia, inrest in Wikitionary project. --Lokesha Kunchadka (talk) 20:37, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lokesha Kunchadka, I see that you have notified the activemost editor on their talk page, but currently the page with nominations is only watched by one person, I assume you, and it is not linked from anywhere except for that talk page. Could you make a link to the nomination page from the village pump (wikt:kn:Wiktionary:ಅರಳಿ ಕಟ್ಟೆ) and from the main Administrators page? Also it seems there are two of the latter: wikt:kn:Wiktionary:ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರು you have created and linked from the interface, and then wikt:kn:ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ:ನಿರ್ವಾಹಕರು that is connected to d:Q4039395 and seems to have been used in the past. Could you merge them? P.S. Not related to the nomination, but it seems that ವಿಕಿಪೀಡಿಯ is not actually technically a name for the Wiktionary namespace. You would need to create a ticket to do that: Requesting wiki configuration changes, example. --Base (talk) 12:48, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note to stewards: see the mailing list. --Base(talk) 13:17, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@BaseIt has already been published village pumpwikt:kn:Wiktionary:ಅರಳಿ ಕಟ್ಟೆ.so many IP address vandalism in kn.Wikitionary.--Lokesha Kunchadka (talk) 16:13, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until January 5th. --Base (talk) 10:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There has been Checkuser confirmation that Sock puppetry was involved in this Nomination for Administrator Steward_requests/Checkuser#Lokesha_Kunchadka@kn.wikitionary. Using Sock puppets for tampering with Admin nomination is a serious violation and clearly shows they cannot to trusted to become an Administrator. I request the stewards to reject this Admin request and take further appropriate actions against the accounts involved in Sock puppetry, since there are no local Administrators in Kannada Wiktionary. AVSmalnad77 chat 09:38, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, this most certainly will be taken into consideration. It would not harm to hold the vote to its end though. --Base (talk) 10:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. Most of the votes come from people who have not previously contributed to knwikt or contributed very little, but basing on Steward_requests/Checkuser/2020-12#Lokesha_Kunchadka@kn.wikitionary, and a strong oppose from one of the active contributors it is a no this time. Lokesha Kunchadka, if you genuinely want to help please do not be discouraged. Continue productive work and you may try to run for an admin again in several months. For now the wiki will have to rely on the efforts of SWMT or someone else from the existing contributors may run. The important thing is that if you do run you are not canvassing other people to vote or create socks to vote. It is okay even if no one votes at all, as long as no body opposes you. That being said if you do continue to violate the rules you are likely to end up blocked and then it is a question of time until someone starts an RfC about you per the Global bans procedure. AVSmalnad77, thank you for your involvement and feel free to poke us at SRM if there are some non-trivial admin actions to undertake. --Base (talk) 09:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Engr.ismailbhutta@skrwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hi, I am working at Saraiki Wikipedia Project on Wikimedia incubator, now on its approved website (skr.wikipedia.org), since February 2018, as a test wiki administrator. I request that grant me the adminship for Saraiki Wikipedia to promote the Saraiki language and Wikipedia mission of knowledge and wisdom. I shall be grateful. Regards. Engr.ismailbhutta (talk) 08:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Engr.ismailbhutta: Hello. On skrwiki, your colleague Sraiki is working as a sysop. Just like how Sraiki requested the sysop bit, you also follow the procedure for requesting the sysop bit on skrwiki. --Sotiale (talk) 11:11, 4 January 2021 (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.

@Albertoleoncio: WMF was/is on holidays, so it probably wasn't looked at yet. This will probably happen soon. Best, —Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 02:11, 4 January 2021 (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.

Juetho@de.wikibooks

Status:    Done

Please, remove the rights as administrator (and bureaucrat, too) to my own access. (In German because I'm not able to explain it in English:) Seit zwei Jahren verringert sich mein Interesse, mich an Wikibooks zu beteiligen. Die meisten Buchanfänge sind von zweifelhafter Qualität; Ratschläge werden nicht angenommen; nur selten interessieren sich andere Nutzer:innen für Wikibooks insgesamt; über mangelhafte Bücher wird nicht mehr diskutiert. Ich sehe keinen Sinn mehr darin, mich mit den Aufgaben eines Admins zu beschäftigen. -- Juetho (talk) 10:02, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. --Sotiale (talk) 12:09, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thank you for your service! --Krd 11:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Toto Azéro@global

Status:    Done

User hasn't edited for over 2 years, they made their last edit (publicly visible, dunno deleted) on 29 July 2018. Per the policy, their global rollbacker right should be removed. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 07:55, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I've checked some tools and their last edit was on 2018-07-29 09:22 and their last public log action on 2017-01-29 00:29. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

dirgela@lt.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Please remove my rights of administrator and bureaucrat in Lithuanian Wikipedia. I am not planning to be active there anymore, and there is an ongoing vote to remove my rights there as well.--Dirgela (talk) 12:37, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:06, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Igna@global

Status:    Done

User hasn't edited for over 2 years, they made their last edit (publicly visible, dunno deleted) on 19 December 2018. Per the policy, their global rollbacker right should be removed. Thanks to the user for their work, to Uncitoyen for catching this and to the steward who will handle this. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:35, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are two log actions younger than 2 years, however they are just automatic account creations. Since the policy says about contributions to any Wikimedia project, I removed the flag. einsbor talk 07:38, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MoiraMoira@global

Status:    In progress

User hasn't used their global sysop right for over 6 months, they made their last GS action on 19 January 2020 at ptwikiquote. Per the policy, their global sysop right should be removed. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 10:09, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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

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