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.

Felipe da Fonseca@ptwikivoyage

There is only one administrator. I am getting involved with the page and intend to do a project on this page (see. Wikisul User Group/Projects) Felipe da Fonseca (talk) 13:08, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Two observations: 1) I call :DARIO SEVERI; 2) I am currently working on fixing some bugs in Wikivoyage.pt, see the T283553 and T283554 tasks in Phabricator and voy:Wikivoyage:Travellers' pub#Problems with listings on Portuguese Wikivoyage.--Felipe da Fonseca (talk) 12:35, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I just requested it here: pt:voy:Wikivoyage:Candidatos a administrador.--Felipe da Fonseca (talk) 14:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mithridates@ie.wikipedia.org

Hello,

It's been almost six months since I was given sysop privileges on the Occidental / Interlingue Wikipedia and would like to request an extension - the privileges run out on the 2nd of June, I believe. (As an aside, quite a bit has been translated on TranslateWiki in the meantime! The entire game FreeCol is one example. Mithridates (talk) 23:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mithridates: Hello, to expand your rights you will need create a new vote on iewiki. After this, please post the link here. Thank you, stanglavine msg 16:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Stanglavine: Just to clarify - by expand do you mean just an extension? It's a request for an extension of the same rights. In the meantime I'll put up a vote on iewiki. Mithridates (talk) 00:00, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. stanglavine msg 15:56, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया@hi.wiktionary.org

Hello

Sir,

I request the administrator After Focusing on the present time,I would like to connect the new veins to make the Wiktionary much better as well as activate smoothly. Recently, I came to know that there is currently no active any sysop on this project.I have been nominating this to improve the basic structure for a variety of general maintenance work on hi wiktionary. - कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया (talk) 16:31, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Imranqazi90@ks.wiktionary.org

Hi,

I am an active contributor to ks wiktionary with more than 400 articles created. I request admin rights as there is some clean up and fixing required because of vandalism and accumulation of meaningless articles throughout the years. At present there is no administrator at all and no active members except me. I have posted my request for admin rights on the community page and I know there won't be any reply as no active users. I wish you a beautiful day. Looking forward to hearing from you.

NickLazımDeğil@tk.wikipedia.org

Hello,

... and I want to be an admin. NickLazımDeğil (talk) 19:11, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A notice is still required regardless of no active users to vote. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 00:29, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Come on, bro, let's get a hand in this dump. Only 1 day. Ok? NickLazımDeğil (talk) 08:44, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I am not a "bro" and the regulations are stated clearly here. Not done -- Amanda (aka DQ) 10:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
With exactly two edits on the wiki and no justification in the request, this is unlikely to pass regardless of a vote on the project. ~~~~

Synoman Barris@sw.wiktionary

Hello once again, I am a former admin requesting a further extension of the rights. I have done a lot of improvement to the wiki i.e introducing word of the day. As per now I am the only active user. I would like to block spammers and delete pages not within the project scope. The vote has lasted for seven days. Cheers --Synoman Barris (talk) 20:43, 27 May 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.

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.

Ajsmen91@plwikisource

Per Polish Wikisource inactivity policy, I regretfully request for removal of Ajsmen91 administrator bit as he is inactive for over a year and has not responded to the notification. Ankry (talk) 23:21, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Everything looks in order, but I see nothing about the email required mentioned at pl:wikisource:Wikiźródła:Odbieranie_uprawnień##Regulamin_odbierania_uprawnień_nieaktywnym_użytkownikom. Was that sent? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 00:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for asking. I have checked my email archive: the notification email to Ajsmen91 was sent via wiki on Fri, 14 May 2021 01:00:42 +0200 (this is the time that the copy received by me is dated). I just forgot to mention this in the notification. Ankry (talk) 14:50, 28 May 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
