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.

Hello

Sir,

I request the administrator after Focusing on the present time,I would like to connect the new veins to make the Wikiquote 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 wikiquote. -- कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until July 9th. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 00:26, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There is still a comment from an IP that has not been responded to. MVR requires any opposition to be fully discussed out. I think at least a response is in order. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 19:02, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I probably can't please everyone sir maybe that's why this ip is dissatisfied with me. I think this discussion should be decided now. Whatever the decision of the jury amongst themselves, I will accept it unanimously.-- कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया (talk) 05:37, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
{Non steward comment) Off topic, but please don't call AmandaNP as "sir". I think you know the reason why. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 07:33, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ji, apologize of this. -- कन्हाई प्रसाद चौरसिया (talk) 09:04, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry. Your not the only one who I've seen call a female editor as sir by accident. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 04:23, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

7elteven@nawiki

Status:    In progress

After ending of my adminship, the only active admin (and in general a participant) was SHB2000. I didn't have any time because of exams. As soon as the time came, I decided to become an admin again and help SHB2000 to revive the Nauruan Wikipedia. --7elteven (talk) 14:43, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@7elteven: Welcome back SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 22:44, 21 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Oppose The requestor has spam-only edits on both Incubator and Lithuanian Wikipedia, and hence blocked on both sites. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:19, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, this user was blocked on the Incubator because they were suspected to contributing in languages they don't know, because it seemed like they were adding Russian words, but the language has a little bit of russian words in it. Also, votes don't go here, they're meant to go on the discussion page. Not sure about ltwiki though. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 03:25, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: Then how do you explain Steward_requests/Checkuser/2020-12#Mikhaliov_~_ltwiki@lt.wikipedia, especially
  •  Confirmed Group 1: Mikhaliov ~ ltwiki, 7elteven

--Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:27, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Makes sense for ltwiki, but not the incubator. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 03:30, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Liuxinyu970226: Hello. That was my past mistakes that I made more that a year ago on ltwikipedia. I don't make it anymore. Btw, this account was not my sock on Wikipedia, just the new account so I don't really know why admins blocked this account. I didn't do any contributions there so I can't be the sock puppet. - 7elteven (talk) 04:43, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also Liuxinyu, have some grace. 7 eleven is still in school, and mistakes are expected. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 04:48, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
He never used and thus also never abused the other account on nawiki. Also it seems like he never abused his sysop permissions in nawiki in the past. So could you ellaborate why this is such a big problem? --Zabe (talk) 09:46, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. Additionally, 7elteven was a sysop for three months (and as you said, never abused them), and is one of our only few editors that know some Nauruan here. Also, 7elteven is still in school, so I expect mistakes. SHB2000 (talk | contibs | en.wikivoyage | en.wikipedia) 11:53, 24 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: If both the nominator and processor of that SRCU request @Nomad and Sotiale: agree, I don't oppose any more. Otherwise you should be one that need to "have some grace", not me.

About @Zabe:'s comments like "he never used another account/he never edited Lithuanian Wikipedia", and other comments like "they are in school", those questions are also to be answered by Sotiale or other Stewards, since they can try to confirm the "deleted contributions": Just copied from the {{CU request}}. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:15, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Another interesting thing: the requestor edited Lithuanian Wiktionary, Wikiquote and Wikisource, of which the Mikhaliov ~ ltwiki also edited the Wikiquote one, wondering if those edits are problemic or not. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:26, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
that does seem interesting to me. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 12:33, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

N.Longo@lij.wiki

Status:    In progress

N.Longo has long been doing more than simply editing as he is always watching out to stop vandalism and give other users useful tips to improve our pages. Over time he has proven to be absolutely reliable to all admins of this small regional Wiki, that's why we kindly request for him a permanent adminship like the one we have. It is hard to find young people who are able to speak and write the language of Christopher Columbus, and this is what L.Longo is able to do. The election has been publicized on the Wikipedian, the community portal and the site notice. L.Longo got 12 favorable votes out of 12 active users taking part in the election. All the best, Luensu1959 (talk) 14:14, 6 August 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.

@ShiminUfesoj Hello, you need to present an on-wiki discussion about your bcl.wikipedia promotion. That should happen either on a dedicated request page, or on an all-community discussion page (like a village pump). Could you paste a link to such a discussion here? Thanks, Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:26, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not done No response, no permissions granted. Feel free to create another request once there is an on-wiki consensus to grant you the rights requested. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:50, 27 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry if I didn't answer right away because the other day I was busy going to school, I hope you understand. I have also put our discussion in my homewiki --Philippines ShiminUfesoj 🌏 (🦜)Philippines 17:51, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until August 2. stanglavine msg 18:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ShiminUfesoj Hello, please enable two-factor authentication before you can be granted interface adminship. This is a WMF-imposed requirement.
As you're currently a bcl.wikipedia administrator, you should be able to enable 2FA in your bclwiki preferences.
Please let us know once you enable 2FA.  On hold until that happens. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Good Day, are there any applications to download to enable 2FA? -Philippines ShiminUfesoj 🌏 (🦜)Philippines 04:53, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ShiminUfesoj Any standard 2FA application should work. If you don't use any, Google Authenticator or Authy are probably a good choice. Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:06, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec Okay sir, I have installed the Google Authenticator application. -Philippines ShiminUfesoj 🌏 (🦜)Philippines 09:23, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@ShiminUfesoj Thanks for installing it. Can you also enable two-factor authentication in your Wikimedia account, and connect it with Google Authenticator? See help at H:2FA for the instructions. Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:57, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec Okay sir, I already connected the 2FA in my homewiki --Philippines ShiminUfesoj 🌏 (🦜)Philippines 03:22, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

AlwynapHuw@cy.wikisource.org

Status:    Not done

Alwyn is spearheading a long term project and we're already starting to see improvement in adding and formatting text, and bringing new editors aboard. He will be training new editors, therefore Bureaucrat status is preferred (I know as I'm one on cywiki). New Admins will be needed, and Alwyn will oversee that too. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 05:54, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done @Llywelyn2000: Hello, we are happy to see your interest on cy.wikisource, thank you for that. However, bureaucrat is a sensitive permission and is not recommended set it on projects that don't really need. Welsh Wikisource has only one sysop, and almost no admin actions and few active editors, so there is no need for a local bureaucrat. If new administrators will be elected, you can post a request on this page and stewards will be very happy to help and set the permission. Best regards, stanglavine msg 13:58, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, and thanks for quick response. Could you elaborate on your statement that a Bureaucrat is not recommended set it on projects that don't really need (sic) please? Secondly, you're right: Welsh Wikisource has only one sysop - and that's because we have no Bureaucrat! Can't see why we need to go through this central process as we can look after our own affairs, thank you very much. There is only one admin, as you say, and that's because going through this central process is to difficult. We should decided ourselves who administers all cy related projects. Who understand the cy situation : you or me? Llywelyn2000 (talk) 18:07, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Llywelyn2000 It is the stewards practice to require a certain amount of voters and rights assignment at a wiki before accepting a local bureaucrat. See details in the guidelines.
This was decided on for good reasons and it greatly enhances the safety of smaller projects. Bureacurats are only important on large projects which have a lot of adminship requests to process, or estabilished local guidelines on how to use bureaucrat disrection when processing adminship/etc requests. For smaller projects, it is better if the stewards do that job.
Sincerely, Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:15, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Martin, and thanks for referencing what you say on policy.
This policy of centralising each language is wrong. The policy you mention is irrelevant to cywiki / cywikisource and I can assure you that 'SAFETY' would not be compromised by making Alwyn (whom I've known for 30 years) a bureaucrat. The world will not stop turning. Where can I request that your policy be changed please? Every language needs to be self sustainable, otherwise we are in very, very deep 1984 territory. If this can't be done, then I suggest you make him an Admin.. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 19:35, 4 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can you now make this user an Admin please. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 16:41, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Llywelyn2000 That will require a separate request (both here and on your local wiki -- the local request does not mention anything about admin status). Martin Urbanec (talk) 22:09, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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
