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.

Ericliu1912@zhwikibooks

Status:    Done

The vote has ended with 7 supports and 1 opposition. In my defense, that only opposition was based on unreasonable accusations and personal attacks that have entirely nothing to do with my past administrative actions on Wikibooks, and the user that accused me of such things doesn't have a particularly positive record for raising legitimate doubts about others' performance. Personally, I would wish to get a permanent appointment per the guideline and precedent on the wiki, but a longer, temporary one is also fine for me. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 12:34, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ericliu1912@zhwikiquote

Status:    Done

The vote has ended with 3 supports and no opposition. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 12:34, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2023-10-23. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Mykola 02:01, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello All again, as my Admin rights are effective till 2023-05-16, I am also Admin at hif.wikipedia, I am again putting this request to extend my admin rights terms as we don't have any admin for this wiki, and still many important templates are needed to import/ update to keep and update pages up to date. Thanks -- Suyash Dwivedi (talk) 09:34, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MdsShakil@bnwikibooks

Status:    Done

Mustafa_MVC@tr.wikiquote

Status:    Done

Voting can be positively finalized when all the requirements of 1 week, 5 votes and 75% positive opinion are met. These conditions seem to be met at the moment. Mustafa MVC (talk) 13:59, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mustafa MVC: This does not seem to be a request for removal of rights --Ameisenigel (talk) 15:09, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I moved a little too fast. I hope he's in the right place now. @Ameisenigel Mustafa MVC (talk) 16:58, 8 April 2023 (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.

Taamu@oswikipedia

Status:    On hold

Hello! I'm an admin at Ossetian Wiki and I would like to update os:MediaWiki:Common.js and os:MediaWiki:Common.css pages. Is it possible to provide me with additional permissions? Thank you! Taamu (talk) 20:45, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Taamu: editing those will require you to be added to the "interface administrator" group, which can be done here. You will need to provide 2 things though: (a) link to a community discussion in the place where administrators are normally elected at oswiki that you have support to be an interface administrator; (b) you will need to let us know if you have two-factor authentication enabled, you may do that at w:os:Сæрмагонд:Manage_Two-factor_authentication. Please reply here when the discussion is completed and you can affirm your 2FA enrollment. — xaosflux Talk 21:05, 3 April 2023 (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.

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.

Fehufanga@simplewiki

Status:    Done

Per successful local vote. Chenzw (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Local vote is OK, confidentiality agreement's signature => flag granted. Welcome to the OS team, Fehufanga. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:08, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec Thank you Martin! Could you add me to the IRC channel? --*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 22:06, 8 April 2023 (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

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.

Father vice@zh.wikipedia

Status:    Done
  • Father vice has been inactive longer than 6 months that local policy prescribed, and still be inactive after notified over 1 month. As a local Bcrat, I hereby request for removing his sysop flag, Thank you.—AT (talk) 12:16, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thanks for your service --Superpes15 (talk) 11:22, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
