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 by a bot. Click here for a list of archives.

  • 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.

Using this page[edit]

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== User name@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]]").

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement[edit]

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.

Administrator access[edit]

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.

For permanent adminship, please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary adminship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

User Chelin@nap.wikisource[edit]

Status:    In progress

I'm an administrator on the neapolitan Wikisource and my adminship will finish in two days. Please renew it, thanks. --Chelin (talk) 16:11, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Interface administrator access[edit]

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.

For permanent interface adminship, please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary interface adminship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

Rowingbohe@zh-classical.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Done

Rowingbohe was elected as an interface administrator per community discussion (RfA) above. Please grant them its rights. Thanks! 丁子君 (talk) 20:26, 20 February 2020 (UTC)

Time2wait.svg On hold @Rowingbohe: has to enable 2FA. Ruslik (talk) 05:08, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
However, I opened the 2FA (at least) a month ago. Please check again.--Rowingbohe♬(Talk/My work) 09:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
@Ruslik0? --Rowingbohe♬(Talk/My work) 14:03, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Yes check.svg Done Currently there is no way to check whether you have 2FA enabled. Ruslik (talk) 08:40, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access[edit]

See bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access[edit]

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.
  • Temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by stewards.

Conde Edmond Dantès@ptwiki[edit]

Status:    In progress

Conde Edmond Dantès was approved as CheckUser at Portuguese Wikipedia. He already signed the confidentiality agreement. According to what I explained here, please grant the right permanently. Thanks. Érico (talk) 00:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Normally in the past, ptwiki checkusers have been granted temporary checkuser access. On pt:Wikipédia:CheckUser/Candidaturas it denotes the new consensus of 2 years. While I agree that you have no opposition to pt:Wikipédia:Esplanada/propostas#Proposta_4:_parar_de_pedir_no_Meta_a_renovação_do_acesso, it hasn't been fully implemented on the candidates page. Since the policy only changed in the past two days, do the people who voted for these users actually know about the permanent change? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:03, 22 February 2020 (UTC)
@DeltaQuad: the right will still be temporary, with a mandatory reconfirmation every two years. If the user is not confirmed, then there will be a request here to remove the right, if they are confirmed, the right will be kept. The discussion you linked is the one that decided for both the 2 year term (proposal 2) and it being permanent (proposal 4). Best, —Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 14:13, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

SEPRodrigues@ptwiki[edit]

Status:    In progress

SEPRodrigues was approved as CheckUser at Portuguese Wikipedia. His name was not yet placed at the Noticiboard, but he stated that he already signed the confidentiality agreement. According to what I explained here, please grant the right permanently. Thanks. Érico (talk) 00:41, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

Oversight access[edit]

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.

Removal of access[edit]

  • 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, a trusted user from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, 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.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

Kandy Talbot@skwikiquote[edit]

Status:    In progress

Inactive for 5 years, please remove sysop & Bureaucrat. MrJaroslavik (talk) 15:31, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

The policy says "may be removed". Please, notify the local community of your intention to initiate the removal. Ruslik (talk) 20:31, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
„...môžu byť automaticky odobrané..." = „...may be automatically removed..."--MrJaroslavik (talk) 21:42, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
Either you post the requested notices, or I will deny both these requests. Ruslik (talk) 12:23, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
Notice on the User talk [1]--MrJaroslavik (talk) 15:08, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
I meant a notice on a community forum so that the community can discuss your proposal. Ruslik (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
  • This request seems to have gone stale -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:06, 22 February 2020 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests[edit]

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
