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.

Requesting for temporary adminship for the first time with no opposition.——虹色分子 (talk) 21:46, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ericliu1912: I'm sorry, but my translator doesn't work fine, so I can't understand the discussion, even using it. Do you express some concerns or is everything fine? I'm prone to grant a 3-months flag, thanks. Superpes15 (talk) 09:48, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No opposition, but no support either. The only IP supported him is an LTA, so that shouldn't count. Personally, I think that him applied for the right so rapidly (4 requests in 2 months), and he carelessly sent welcome templates to those LTA accounts and IPs (quite questionable behaviour to be justified if as an administrator), but I've already opposed him for the previous 3 times, it's morally difficult for me to do that again. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 01:26, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And he don't know how to substitute a welcome template. I'm a bit more concerned now, and may have to actually oppose the hasty request again. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 01:58, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
After your reminder, I never made any related edits again. I executed your orders every time. I wonder why you will think this is suspicious behavior. You are the only opponent every time I apply. What is your intention? I have never done abuse editing on any other project, but you compare me to LTA. Are you really make a project better or just trying to attack others enthusiasm? If you just want to object me, you will come up with a whole new reason every time I apply, although these reasons are not fair for denying eligibility for election as admin. All in all, even if no one supports me, it doesn’t matter to me from continuing to apply. One of the current admin has only edited once in two years and you still think appropriate to continue to stay as admin according to policy, I am the editor with the largest number of edits, I applying for an admin just out of my enthusiasm, but you haven't given any clear reason for your objection that is in line with the policy.虹色分子 (talk) 14:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have sufficient time to dig in that much for previous requests, so I hope you don't see it as a potential exploitation, but rather further foundings to help you improve as a potential candidate for advanced rights. If I don't remind you now, are you going to keep that kinds of edit behaviour in the future? And I think that it is totally on your side for applying too rapidly, which is normally not acceptable in many other occasions. Though if you promise that you will make better upon, a 3-months flag should be fine, I guess. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 16:44, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2024-01-28. 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.
Indeed, per MVR policy policy, we can give only 3-month flag in this case. Since there is no clear opposition, the flag can be granted, there is no need for supporting votes --Superpes15 (talk) 11:38, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ericliu1912@zhwikinews

Status:    Done

Eric has obtained adequate support from the local community for being a local administrator. It would be much appreciated if Stewards could grant permission accordingly. Thanks a lot. HW (talk) 16:24, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2025-10-28. 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) 11:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ameisenigel@wikifunctionswiki

Status:    Done

Please extend administrator access for Ameisenigel on Wikifunctions after a successful request for adminship. Their current administrator access will end on 2 November 2023. Terasail[✉️] 08:37, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2024-10-28. 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. — xaosflux Talk 09:36, 28 October 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.

Albatros777@uzwiki

Status:    On hold

We don't yet have inactivity policy, so the global policy on admin activity applies. We've discussed the matter locally and everyone is in favor of desysoping the user for inactivity (2+ years). Nataev talk 13:28, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 29 October. The AAR usually takes place on January. Since there is a local consensus to deflag, however, we can proceed. I'd just say wait a few days, since the discussion started on 22 October, and I'd wait at least a week before proceeding. Thanks for your understanding! --Superpes15 (talk) 10:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
