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.

Htawmonzel@mnw.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

Mon Wiktionary is newly created. It don't have Edittools pages. For example in Myanmar Wiktionary there has code in wiktionary:my:MediaWiki:Edittools and wiktionary:my:MediaWiki:Edittools.js. We really need such of code in Mon Wiktionary. I would like to request for adminship as well as interface adminship for Mon Wiktionary. Htawmonzel (talk) 17:30, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 2021-04-08. Also @Htawmonzel: you'll need to enable 2FA in order to be granted interface admin access. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:46, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank @Martin Urbanec:, I have already install Authenticator in my smartphone. But I don't know how it works yet. --Htawmonzel (talk) 20:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Htawmonzel: Good. Did you read H:2FA please? Feel free to ask any questions you have after reading that guide. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec:, yes, I have read it. I think I know how it works.--Htawmonzel (talk) 14:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Htawmonzel In that case, could you enable 2FA please? There should be instructions in the page I linked. If you have any questions, please let me know. Martin Urbanec (talk) 22:04, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec:, I think I had to have (oathauth-enable) access first to enable 2FA. Please guide me some more details, what I have to do. --Htawmonzel (talk) 07:05, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Htawmonzel As an administrator on mnw.wikipedia, you should already be able to enable 2FA on mnw.wikipedia. Please enroll into 2FA on mnw.wikipedia, it will then apply everywhere else as well. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:59, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec:, Thanks, Now two-factor authentication will be enforced. --Htawmonzel (talk) 18:00, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Being an active contributor for Bikol Wikipedia, I would like to apply as an administrator for this project. I am planning to create more WikiProjects in Bikol Wikipedia to increase and improve its contents, and also to help the current administrators on maintaining the website. Thank you! - Ralffralff (talk) 05:34, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold ultil 25 April 2021. stanglavine msg 15:06, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

abuluntu@no.wikibooks

Status:    In progress

(your remarks) There is few visitors to the project, nearly no contributors. My temporary admin status is soon to an end. I request permanent administrator status if possible to keep working on a book and keep tidying and patrolling. -- Abuluntu (👨🏼‍💻💬) 10:11, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gwikor_Frank@kw.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Cornish Wikipedia is a small Wikipedia (4,000+ articles) with few but growing users (hence the rather small number of comments in discussion even after 12 days). We currently have two administrators but both are largely inactive and there is a definite need for an active admin. This is especially important as I have been working on recruiting Cornish speakers to contribute, the vast majority of whom are new to Wikipedia and with a low level of computer literacy. We will need someone with the ability to delete pages to cope with new user error. I believe I am a good candidate as I am one of Cornish Wikis most active users, I have a high level of the language and I run the yearly Kernewiki edit-a-thon. We need someone active to look after the new shoots of our wiki garden! --12:50, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Gwikor Frank (talk)

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.

Londonjackbooks@en.wiksource

Status:    Done

User has requested to retire as administrator on en.wiksource. We are sorry to see them depart, but respect their decision. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:06, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. stanglavine msg 15:19, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nastoshka@global

Status:    In progress

This user made his last contribution to any wikimedia project two years ago, thus by policy his global rollbacker permissions should be removed. Regards Zabe (talk) 07:09, 22 April 2021 (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
