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.

RG72@eowiktionary

Status:    On hold

Hello! I have been working for Esperanto-Wiktionary since 2014, having created a number of articles like [1], [2], [3] and major lists like [4], [5] and I believe that this important project needs an administrator, which it has not had for many years.

I announced my candidacy on November 12 and have since received 10 votes in favor (one was later withdrawn due to a smear campaign launched by former administrator Taylor79, who was deprived of this status by decision of the stewards due to endless conflicts and arbitrariness), 4 votes against. For this reason, please, promote me to administrator position.RG72 (talk) 16:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Per removal request below. -- Amanda (she/her) 19:20, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Note that I checked this project a lot in the last 2 years and I didn't notice a lot of active users there! Some of voters never edited there. Is there an explanation for this (like notifying them on social or on another projects)? Thanks. Superpes15 (talk) 00:16, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Như Gây Mê@cebwiki

Status:    On hold

hi, I want "sysops admin" permission in the Cebuano Wiki. Recently, I saw some vandalism but it seems that the sysops admins there are not active. Even requests to move or merge pages did not see a response from a sysops admin.

Additional: A bot of sysops admin accidentally duplicated pages leading to duplicates, I want sysops admin permissions to easily delete duplicate posts. Halley luv Filipino ❤ 07:58, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Như Gây Mê: Note ceb.wikipedia currently has a bureaucrat, Bentong Isles. Did you please try to get in touch with the bureaucrat (since they're supposed to process adminship requests)?  On hold for now. Thanks, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:27, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already contacted, it seems to me that this bureaucrat has not had any revision activities in the past 2 years (I'm not sure). Halley luv Filipino ❤ 22:11, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Như Gây Mê: perhaps you could try emailing, if not already done? EPIC (talk) 15:01, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additional: I tried contacting this bureaucrat via email and tried sending a message on his talk page, but still no response. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Như Gây Mê (talk) 22:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already sent email but the bureaucrat did not respond. Halley luv Filipino ❤ 21:14, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Additional: Admin Lsj replied additionally on the page "permission request sysops admin" in cebwiki (received 1 support and no oppose). Halley luv Filipino ❤ 14:00, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Please, confirm my local admin status. The voting is already done. Thank you! Гусейнага (talk) 17:29, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear @Гусейнага, I wanted to discuss local voting with you. It seems that there may be a need to consider overriding it temporarily. I kindly request your input and thoughts on the matter. Please join the discussion at your earliest convenience. Sincerely, Patriot Kor (talk) 15:42, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't have to tag me everywhere, I'll see your question on your talk page sooner or later. I answered you. Гусейнага (talk) 10:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dear user, If the tag bothers you, I won't do it again. To ensure transparency in the current vote, it is important that you actively engage in open discussions and you must be open to all discussions. Sincerely, Patriot Kor (talk) 11:31, 10 January 2024 (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.

Théoden@trwikipedia

Status:    In progress

According to trwiki sysop inactivity policy a sysop should make 100 edits and 50 sysop logs record if he/she wants to keep sysop rights in 1 calendar year. If a sysop would not have these records in 11 months, he/she should apply for an adminship request again or desysop procedure will start.

Theoden made 40 edits and 408 sysop actions between Jan,1 2023 - Dec,7 2023. User has been notified via talk page and mail on Dec,7 2023 UTC 15.33 1 month before this request (It’s a must according policy and anounced here).

Please remove Théoden’s sysop rights at trwiki. Regards. Vincent Vega msg? 21:18, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DonSimon@ruwikinews

Status:    In progress

A ballot for removal of his sysop rights has yet occured right now. We need a final decision, here. According to local policy the voting is already done. 6 months since the start of the vote, and 6 valid votes. DonSimon received 5 voices for removal and 1 voices aganist removal. The bureaucrat there are not active. --Erokhin (talk) 17:55, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is 6 months old...is there a previous SRG request? It's really difficult to say this reflects current community views with it being that old. -- Amanda (she/her) 06:25, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think maybe the bureaucrat is his friend, I think maybe this is sabotage. Special ignoring. What should the Russian Wikinews community do? I wrote to the bureaucrat on July 10, 2023 n:ru:Обсуждение_участника:Artem_Korzhimanov#Викиновости:Снятие_статуса#DonSimon_(#_3). Erokhin (talk) 20:50, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
