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.

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.

5 support/8 votes is only 62.5%. I don't see sufficient consensus to grant interface administrator permissions. AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have asked again. Please wait for another week and let's see again. Or just remove and we can request again if we reach sufficient consensus. Balyozxane (talk) 23:09, 10 December 2022 (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.

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.

Hi @AmandaNP
I have not received anything as of yet so I was just wondering if you have an update on this matter.
I did receive an email few days ago where they have asked me to confirm my email address and that was all I have received from @Krd
Please, advise
Боки ✉ 22:48, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Stewards are waiting for your signature to appear on Access to nonpublic personal data policy/Noticeboard. This has to be done by WMF office and usually takes an undefined while. --Krd 07:30, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You have placed your signature as described in Access to nonpublic personal data policy, don't you? --Krd 07:32, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Krd I did not receive any document whatsoever. The only information I have received was your email earlier last week. Боки ✉ 22:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Боки: Please follow these instructions. After that, we will wait for your name to show on the board noted above by Krd. -- Amanda (she/her) 23:46, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP I just did sign both of the agreements. Боки ✉ 23:57, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
(non-steward comment) Sounds great, @Боки! Then let's wait until the noticeboard is updated. This may take some time. --Victor Trevor (talk) 13:17, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Victor Trevor Do you know, by any chance, how long is the wait ? Just so I am not bugging anyone with concern and question :) Боки ✉ 23:52, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

עלי@he.wikipedia.org

Status:    Done

Hebrew Wikipedia's community has elected me to serve as a CheckUser, as per the link above. עלי (talk) 20:28, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information and confirmation at ANPDP/N. Please see these instructions on how to sign the agreement. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 03:52, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AntiCompositeNumber, my signatures appear to have been confirmed. עלי (talk) 12:23, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
According to Hebrew Wikipedia's policy, tomorrow would be the last day that our community wishes could be acknowledged, and not even a shred of courtesy explanation why this request can't be fulfilled, and why we'll have to reelect. Unintelligible. עלי (talk) 18:36, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Very intelligible: it's only been three days and people are busy. I also recommend discussing changing your local policy around when these requests can be actioned...I'm not sure what the benefit of it is.
Anyways, Done. Please send a subscription request to the checkuser list. Pinging Martin Urbanec for cuwiki access. Best, Vermont (🐿️—🏳️‍🌈) 04:14, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.

1997kB@wikidatawiki

Status:    Not done

1997kB has not made the required five admin actions within the last six months (see stats). Please remove admin and checkuser per policy. Ameisenigel (talk) 10:31, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are only considering the logged action. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 10:54, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Even if I consider the two not logged actions (comment on WD:AN and in an unblock request) it are less than the required five admin actions. --Ameisenigel (talk) 10:14, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Two on AN* and that makes it five, counting wise... ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:04, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do you really consider this to be an admin action? --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:08, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When somebody wants to count, yes. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 03:35, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but I disagree. --Ameisenigel (talk) 07:29, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can see, 1997kB now meets the activity criteria (see [1]). In my opinion, this request can be closed as not done, as the question whether activity criteria were met as of December 01 is not relevant anymore. Not closing the request myself, as I'm an admin at Wikidata.org as well. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:09, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please also consider There is currently no reprieve system in place for inactive administrators other than filing a new permissions request. from the policy. --Ameisenigel (talk) 07:46, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, that policy applies only after the permissions were actually removed. My understanding of it is that "once permissions are revoked, they can be only regained by a new permission request". Requirements in inactivity policies should always be valid as-of the removal. Considering that 1997kB now has enough admin actions, there's no need for removal. Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So it depends on chance how fast a Steward works on the removal request, if rights are removed or not? --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:05, 7 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Concur with Martin that there's no justification to desysop an administrator that currently meets the activity requirements. If the wikidata community disagrees with this interpretation of their policy, they should hold an RfC to clarify it. --AntiCompositeNumber (talk) 16:38, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
