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.

DreamRimmer@awa.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I require administrator tools in order to enable gadgets and do daily maintenance on this wiki. Because there has been no administrator since the beginning, many spam pages have accumulated, which need to be deleted, and the rest of the work has to be organised, so please grant administrator rights for three months in order to regularise the wiki. DreamRimmer (talk) 02:06, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just wait a little longer :) According to MVR, the local discussion has to last at least a week, and another day is required, since you started it on 2 May 2023, at 15:58 UTC! I also fixed your diff :) --Superpes15 (talk) 02:23, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps my calculation of the days was incorrect. Thanks for correcting the request, I appreciate it:) DreamRimmer (talk) 03:57, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DreamRimmer: I just noticed that you created your local user on awawiki the same day you requested the flag (see here) and after creating new categories (some are still empty). This seems a bit weird to me. While I'd like to see more people helping in small projects, I need to understand what's your experience with Awadhi language, with the administrator tools (if any), and also what kind of work do you plan to do (aside from deleting spam). Also, you can't enable gadgets, since only interface administrators can edit site js, so, what do you mean with enable gadgets and do maintenance? Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 16:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Superpes15, I am aware that I need interface administrator permissions in order to edit JS and CSS pages. I was going to request the interface admin in a few days instead of taking on this gadget work right away because I had suggested HotCat as the first gadget on Wikipedia where it was determined to construct categories in a month. Since I am from India and am fluent in several of the local languages, I am well-versed in the Awadhi language. When I first learned about the Awadhi language version of Wikipedia, I felt sorry looking at its articles and main page because the project has been filled with entries that have been outdated and incorrectly named for many years. My goal is to improve this Wikipedia by creating some necessary pages, protecting them, deleting spam pages, deleting pages with incorrect titles, and importing some essential content. I would only request the right for three months because I am also short on time, but for the time being, I can solve it, and if I still have the time after three months, I will apply again. Instead of voluntarily working with administrator privileges, my aim is to develop a transparent Awadhi encyclopaedia. I also won't be documenting any foreclosures here. I have asked for this right because I need it to organise this wiki. I qualify for a number of privileges, even on the English Wikipedia, but I don't favour collection of caps. DreamRimmer (talk) 17:33, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You asked about category creation and some empty categories that I created; thus, my response is that there was not a single category on this Wikipedia at the time I visited. So I created some needed categories. Those unfilled categories are for birth years, to which articles will be added progressively. DreamRimmer (talk) 18:27, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2023-08-09. 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.
@DreamRimmer: Thanks for your detailed explanation and for volunteering! Please, if you need any help with your flags, don't forget to ask global sysops and/or stewards :) --Superpes15 (talk) 22:59, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Superpes15, Sure sir, Thank you! DreamRimmer (talk) 01:04, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    On hold

Hello. This request is for administrator and interface administrator access. Ezagren (talk) 02:48, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for another day --Superpes15 (talk) 10:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Volstand: Just out of curiosity, did you inform some people on wiki or other platforms about this election? I see some users, not active on the project, who voted within a short time between them. Also, it's a bit weird to see such number of votes on a project without any sysops and from users who haven't edited in months (or have never edited before). Thanks!--Superpes15 (talk) 00:30, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We only inform our local community (Komunitas Wikimedia Banjar), not the bigger one like Wikimedia Indonesia. Also, the users who vote are from our local community but they are rarely contributed to the Wikimedia projects. I hope this answers your question and if you want to make sure this is real we can promote this election in Wikipedia Indonesia.
Thank you Volstand (talk) 06:31, 10 May 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.

Please grant 1 year IA rights, previous request thanks 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 17:55, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2024-05-09. 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.
@Sakura emad: Please next time remember not to wait a lot in posting a request here after closing the RfA, otherwise it could be rejected, and you'd be asked to start a new RfA! Thanks :) --Superpes15 (talk) 23:15, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I see, I apologize for not posting my request in a timely manner, as I was preoccupied with real-life obligations and unable to do so, thank you. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 03:00, 10 May 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.

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.

There are two abuse filter accounts on anpwiki. Per anp:मीडियाविकि:Abusefilter-blocker it seems like दुरुपयोग फ़िल्टर is the correct account. --Ameisenigel (talk) 13:13, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    On hold

Due to lack of time in my private life, I am stepping down from my position in the OC. Thus, please remove me from the global ombuds group. Thanks --Zabe (talk) 09:16, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
