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,Seven days elapsed since request was posted on community page with two votes.May you please grant them admin rights so that we could be two,to look after the wiki.Thanks.Tumbuka Arch (talk) 18:37, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What can you say about your block in anwiki for abusing multiple accounts? Ruslik (talk) 20:13, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0 Hi! Following their activity and being so helpful on Tumbuka Wikipedia,we thought was good to make them admin as well (i am the other local admin).We are only 3 people working there.This user have helped alot in that wikipedia, that is, they helped creating templates,fixing home interface and above all,created many helpful articles that could be useful to scholars of the language doing research.
Making them an admin will also help keep the wiki safe,vet each other,etc.About blocks,maybe they can have a say themselves.Thank you. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 08:50, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Oppose because user has 3 sockpuppets (User:Chabi, User:Chabi1 and User:Katxis). AlPaD (talk) 05:42, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AlPaD Please note voting should not happen at SRP, but at tum.wikipedia.org itself. Thank you for your understanding. Martin Urbanec (talk) 08:52, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: Yes, I'm sorry. AlPaD (talk) 13:38, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What has been done in the anwiki shouldn't affect the other ones. You need to judge what I have done in the Tumbuka Wikipedia, not in the Aragonese one. --Caro de Segeda (talk) 16:25, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Caro de Segeda: Yes, but why don't use one account? AlPaD (talk) 19:59, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have used my account there. Caro de Segeda (talk) 20:00, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not Steward Comment Caro You are saying “You need to judge what I have done in the Tumbuka Wikipedia, not in the Aragonese" what you have done on other wikis is considered as you have to be trustworthy to be given the rights that is why the Steward asked about your blocks, and you must understand the policy to be given the Admin rights you should know abusing multiple accounts is not allowed, thank you. Rebel Agent (talk) 05:20, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(non-steward comment) I would like to add a link to this discussion (a previous RfA of Caro de Segeda on another wiki). I'm afraid some of the concerns raised in that discussion are also valid for this request. Daniuu (talk) 09:41, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Caro de Segeda: You must answer the questions above. --Lookruk (talk) 11:05, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec, @Ruslik0 Since the candidate does not respond anymore to the discussion here, can you close this request as "not done" or "done" according to your final decision (stewards). I don't think the candidate will say anything further. Thanks. Tumbuka Arch (talk) 09:28, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes please, just close this. Tumbuka Arch can do everything himself. Caro de Segeda (talk) 18:35, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The last question I can see is "why don't use one account?". I answered it. I am only using one account, which this one. Caro de Segeda (talk) 18:34, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

عُثمان@pnbwiktionary

Status:    On hold

Punjabi Shahmukhi (pnb) Wiktionary currently has no administrators. It also has no active editors at the moment. I did create a discussion (and the first "village pump" page to do so) but it seems unlikely anyone will arrive to comment on it. I am active in adding Punjabi data to the Wikidata Lexicographical Data project, and would be able to configure entries to provide more detailed information using the growing number of Punjabi word entries there, as well as provide glosses for other languages. My intention in requesting adminship is to help bring pnbwiktionary to a point where it can attract more users readily, and to make it easier for new users to contribute. عُثمان (talk) 15:48, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 19 November 2022 Ruslik (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2022 (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.

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

Mohanad Kh@arwikibooks

Status:    On hold

Temporary Importer, Needed for importing migrated wikibooks content from another sister project Mohanad Kh Talk 21:37, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment The Arabic Wikipedia community (which includes all active members of the Arabic Sister Projects at the time) agreed (on 17 January 2019) that any discussion/nomination/policy involving the Arabic Sister Projects should be brought up on this page, in order to notify the community, as there are no active communities on these projects. The policy states "Any discussion/nominations in sister projects must be announced in Sister project village pump, and any discussion that has not been announced on it, it's summary is unofficial". Since the announcement of this policy until now, all of discussion/nomination/policy it is announced in this village (Please see Archives). But I can't found any link of above nomination on previous mentioned village. (I'm commenting as a sysop in Arabic Wikibooks). Best --Alaa :)..! 10:42, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thx @Alaa for comment, I really respect that, but correct me if I'm wrong, this consensus will be mandatory, if it's approved and documented in these projects as mini-policy or guideline (or even as discussion consensus), which didn't happen actually, except that, it has no any consideration (Just an objective point-of-view ) --Mohanad Kh Talk 16:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please, notify the community as suggested above and allow the discussion to run for a week. Ruslik (talk) 20:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0 I don't really understand, I already did that (I mean ar.wikibooks community), so that's actually weird and confusing. Let's suppose that the same users community have the same discussion on en.wikipedia, and they have agreed on the same consensus, but you have to notify them on some en.wikipedia page, should I do it there also? Is that a common thing? And all that happens without any policy or guideline terms on those projects?!Note To be honest with you, I don't really care about request as much as I care about answer to this question, cause it will change my view literally and make me thinking twice about developing sister projects --Mohanad Kh Talk 21:34, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I mean those users community agreed on some wikimedia space and that's enough, they don't need to document this consensus on every related project to be official. --Mohanad Kh Talk 22:10, 13 November 2022 (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.
