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.

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:

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

Steward requests/Permissions/Sysop-header

Adville@sv.wikiversity

User Adville is requesting administrator access on the Swedish language Wikiversity. The wiki is of rather small activity; I (administrator on sv.wikiversity) am the only one having voted in the election linked, although the vote has been going on for more than two weeks. Adville is a well-known user on the Swedish wikis, and administrator on the Swedish language Wikipedia. Tanzania (talk) 21:39, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've corrected the header, is this request regarding user Adville? --M/ (talk) 21:44, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2014-05-15. 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. Matanya (talk) 19:03, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

زكريا@so.wikipedia

Requesting permission renewal (1). No signs of cummunity growth to hold another local election (2). Admin still needed though (3). Zack (talk) 01:56, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The community still needs to be advised of your wish for an extension, and given the opportunity to comment. If there is no one there then no comment will occur and a renewal can take place a week after. We require that notification to the soWP community, and this note should allow us to put a desysop on hold.  — billinghurst sDrewth 07:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks --Zack (talk) 01:53, 12 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 19 February  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:37, 12 February 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]
Comment Comment I am not an so.wikipedia community member. However, I would like to point out that زكريا is one of the best admins on Arabic Wikipedia. His work in maintaining gadgets and scripts on the wiki is outstanding. I support this request. --Meno25 (talk) 06:00, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you comment on sowiki, where the request is? --MF-W 23:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I commented on the local request page. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 05:52, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I support this request too, and I've commented on the local request.--Avocato (talk) 00:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pratyya Ghosh@bnwiktionary

This request will end at 19 February 2014. So I'm requesting here not to remove my right till that time. Now this time I haven't asked permanent sysop bit, but requested for 1 year. Thanks. --Pratyya (Hello!) 06:18, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 19 February I will make a note on the temporary permissions, and hopefully it will be noticed.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:10, 13 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zhuyifei1999@zhwikivoyage

prolong adminship. 6/0/0.GZWDer (talk) 09:54, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2014-08-14. --MF-W 10:12, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Les Meloures@lb.wiktionary

Hi, please can my adminship on lb:Wiktionary be renewed. See please former discussions to avoid to begin the old tralala again. Best Regards --Les Meloures (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold
Instructions on top of this page require that you: a) post a notice to the local wiki; b) use the correct template, pointing to the local (current) discussion or notice. Thank you for your understanding. --M/ (talk) 10:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please be so kind and have a look at former requests an discussions. I did a compilation here
If you think that my sysopship is not usefull or needed, so please let me know what sysop or stewart I may contact to do all changements on lb:wiktionary. Actually a new user with several IP-logins is using lb:Wiktionary again as playstation. If this project can not be surveyed so we better close it, in despite of all the work that was done and I need no more to beg for adminship. --Les Meloures (talk) 11:38, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Stewards are not required to - and at least, speaking for me, not capable of - judging your contributions. The requirements for you to get another period of adminship on lb.wiktionary are even simpler: post a notice (just a line saying you are requesting sysop bit) and then come back here after one week. This is not begging, it's only the normal procedure that I cannot change or ignore. You can also have your tools never removed: just post the request one week prior to expiration. Thank you, M/ (talk) 22:07, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

sdrom@zh.wiki

please give admin right to me--Sdrom (talk) 16:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Please make a local request; zhwiki has its own bureaucrats. --MF-W 16:54, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Morris@en.wikinews

My request for CheckUser access was recently closed on English Wikinews. I am identified to the Foundation and my username is listed on the Identification noticeboard. User:Billinghurst has given me instructions on other things I need to do (joining checkuser-l and submitting my cloak ID for IRC access). Thanks. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:37, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>
