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.

Jamex18@guwwikiquote

Status:    Done

Hello, I would like to have administrator rights for maintenance purpose. Thank you. Jamex18 (talk) 08:53, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jamex18: Just out of curiosity, have you advertised your request elsewhere? I see 4 consecutive votes, very little time apart, and none of the 4 users has ever been an active contributor on guwwikiquote, it seems strange to me --Superpes15 (talk) 11:46, 14 April 2023 (UTC)M[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2023-07-23. 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. --Superpes15 (talk) 21:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear stewards, I'm questioning his/her interpretation of local RFA policy, if possible please wait until my question is answered. Thank you for the attention. MathXplore (talk) 07:11, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your question, MathXplore. Please check the questions answered in the vote of confidence. こにしかめやも2 (talk) 12:09, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I checked your answer, thank you for the quick response. If there are no further questions from the local members, then I would leave the stewards to take care of this request. MathXplore (talk) 12:18, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
thank you berry match！ こにしかめやも2 (talk) 01:00, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @こにしかめやも2:! According to MVR, Any opposition requires a full discussion. I see one opposition vote, was it discussed? If there is no discussion on the vote, or if no explanation is asked about the motivation, it's not possible to grant the flag! Thanks for your understanding. --Superpes15 (talk) 10:03, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Superpes15, for contacting us. I'm getting one vote against because I'm blocked (unfairly) on Japanese Wikipedia.Read more about how he downvoted here. Sorry for the long sentence. こにしかめやも2 (talk) 11:22, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not done@こにしかめやも2: So, you were check-user blocked on jawiki, and the vote is motivated by this and was discussed. The problem is that you don't have a consensus to be promoted (in fact you have 1 vote in support e 1 in oppose). We cannot consider a self-vote (especially if this vote is decisive), so we cannot promote you with this result, I'm sorry!--Superpes15 (talk) 08:39, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

The election had ended with 4 supports and no oppose. Seeking for prolonging the adminship. —TongcyDai  ฅ • ω • ฅ 10:48, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for the same time of IA flag to expire on 2024-01-29. 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.
In this way you can make a single request to prolong both your sysop and your IA flag and they will hav the same expiration :) --Superpes15 (talk) 22:04, 23 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.

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

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.

Vanished user 127237@ruwikimedia

Status:    In progress

Vanished User. AlPaD (talk) 12:39, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I think it makes sense, but I don't remember if we have a precedent and the request does not have a explicit removal request. Since it's also a chapter wiki, I'm mentioning @Drbug as the sole wiki bureaucrat so he can advice us if the removal can proceed. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:23, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, would want to see this request come from active crat or at least sysops of that project (who can block the account if it is causing problems). — xaosflux Talk 23:08, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TuanUt@viwiki

Status:    Done

TuanUt had sent me, the bureaucrat of vi.wikipedia the request to remove his rights as a sysop. He also requested a three-day period before the message was formally published to the community. Today, after a three-day period, I officially published this news to our community, and TuanUt confirmed the announcement about his resignation. The link for the announcement and his confirmation message can be found here: [1]. Please help remove TuanUt's rights per his request. Thank you.ThiênĐế98 (talk) 16:03, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Standard 24-hour hold for resignation; courtesy notification to @TuanUt: regarding this -sysop request. — xaosflux Talk 17:46, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done — xaosflux Talk 18:23, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
