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.

Status:    On hold

I want to become Administrator access and Interface administrator access on wikipedia in kikongo (see here) CapitainAfrika (talk) 20:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 1 April. Like above your request doesn't seem to say anything about the interface admin part, so I'm not sure about granting that. EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
for the interface, there are many words that do not agree with the true meaning of the words, this is the reason for this need.CapitainAfrika (talk) 21:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It has now been one week since the request was opened, but still, given that your userpage says you are kg-0 makes me hesitant about granting here. I will leave this to another steward for that reason. EPIC (talk) 11:16, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alphama@viwikiquote

Status:    Done

Hello, I am running my grant project (Wikidata Labelling Working Group [1]) on Vietnamese Wikiquote, so I need the admin right about 2 months to monitor the project. There are only a few editors in Viwikiquote, so I ask for the admin access right here.  A l p h a m a  Talk 04:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Alphama:, did you open a local discussion? If not, please do so, wait for seven days (it doesn't have to get any votes), come back and there shouldn't be any problems granting you.  On hold until then. EPIC (talk) 06:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did open the discussion. Ok, I will wait for the community's opinions after 7 days.  A l p h a m a  Talk 12:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See my request, it is 7 days.  A l p h a m a  Talk 15:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good this time. Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2024-07-03. 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. EPIC (talk) 15:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ayane Fumihiro@viwikivoyage

Status:    In progress

I am a regular active member of the Wikipedia main project and feel that these child projects are little known to everyone. Vietnamese Wikivoyage has a lot of preservation work but for a long time no one has stood out as the administrator of the project. I would like to apply for administrator rights to serve the preservation and anti-vandalism. Ayane (meta | phab) 13:56, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayane Fumihiro: First and most importantly; did you open a local discussion? If not, please do so and wait for at least a week, and come back after that. Still, if there aren't any votes I'm still going to be a bit hesitant about granting since you don't have that many edits on the project. EPIC (talk) 14:00, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

Hi, I am an active user at Kashmiri Wikipedia, I have served as the sysop for Kashmiri wikipedia for some time. I am requesting now to extend my adminship so as to continue contributing to Kashmiri Wikipedia and perform administrative tasks. If you can grant this toolset permanently, it would be really helpful. I am aware any misuse will warrant a block and am committed to contribute positively. signed, 511KeV (talk) 20:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2026-04-03. 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. EPIC (talk) 20:58, 3 April 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.

@CapitainAfrika: I might be mistaken here, but I can't see that any of your requests mention that you are applying for interface administrator? EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (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.

Minorax@meta.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I am asking to give oversight access to User:Minorax, per successful election on Meta:Requests for oversight/Minorax, they have signed the agreement with WMF. --M/ (talk) 06:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@M7: Thanks, since 25 votes is the absolute minimum per policy, we'll need to wait for that last vote, and then we can grant this.  On hold until then. EPIC (talk) 08:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@M7: Last needed vote has been given, you may now close the discussion.  On hold again pending bureaucrat closure. EPIC (talk) 10:13, 4 April 2024 (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.

Mtodo@jawiktionary

Status:    In progress

Per the discussion above, please remove rights of sysop and bureaucrat from this user. Thanks.Prefuture (talk) 22:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the policy, I read 権限が除去される場合には、対象者以外の人が権限除去申請を行う。(If the authority is to be removed, a person other than the person concerned will apply for the removal of the authority.) So, shouldn't this be closed by someone neutral then, considering you were the one who opened and closed this request? @Kanjy: perhaps? EPIC (talk) 22:54, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"対象者" means the user whose right is going to be removed - in this case, User:Mtodo. Prefuture (talk) 23:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-admin comment) I agree with this policy interpretation. In other words, "対象者" means target. MathXplore (talk) 02:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think this request is valid because our policy you, @EPIC, mentioned means: If the vote result is to remove one or more accesses of the user in question, a request to do so should be submitted by another user than the user in question. The user in question is only User:Mtodo, not User:Prefuture. Thanks for your mention to me. --Kanjy (talk) 04:17, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

several@enwikibooks

Status:    Not done
Status:    Done

Please remove per b:en:Wikibooks:Requests for permissions. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 11:34, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure but is there any clear criteria here? I see that they were notified two days ago, but shouldn't it need to be longer since then? I also notice that one community member had opposed these removals. EPIC (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC: the general criteria for something like this is one month's notice (see wikibooks:WB:ADMIN). In the past @MarcGarver: used to handle them when he was a bureaucrat, but we don't have one now. The main problem is that they were notified two days ago (despite the request on WB:RFP posted on Feb 25th), which I think doesn't meet the policy as written (despite there being no need to show consensus per se). As a result I think this request should be turned down (sorry @SHB2000:), because one purpose of the rule is to give the to-be-removed sysop a chance to contest. Leaderboard (talk) 13:50, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
On the page itself it says "You may request removal of your own rights at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Requests to remove others' rights should be placed here, whether due to inactivity, or abuse. Proposals for the removal of advanced permissions (included admin and bureaucrat rights) are governed by the WB:ADMIN policy. A minimum discussion of one month is required to remove an admin or bureaucrat for inactivity.. MarcGarver (talk) 15:03, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MarcGarver: Should we take that as an indication that they can be removed then? Given that they are discussions and one of them has an oppose vote, I'm still a little unsure. EPIC (talk) 15:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking as a member of the WB community (not as a Steward), I think the policy has been met in the case of Mrjulesd, albeit that it would have been better to notify them as well as post the removal request. In the case of Az1568, he remains intermittently active and the nomination was opposed by the only person commenting. I also have added my opposition to the removal. Given this I would not act on Az1568 and suggest that the proposal has failed given that in 6 weeks it has only attracted oppose votes. MarcGarver (talk) 16:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, OK then. Done for Mrjulesd (with many thanks for their service) but Not done for Az1568. EPIC (talk) 16:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion has been ongoing since at least Feb 2024, which is why I assumed it was okay to make the requests. But yeah, it's been handled by MarcGarver so there is nothing more to be said. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 20:14, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
