Steward requests/Permissions
← Requests and proposals | Steward requests (Permissions) | latest archive→ |
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.
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[edit]
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]]").
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.
Requests[edit]
Administrator access[edit]
See administrator for information about this user group.
- If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
- Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-adminconnect.
- 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.

I wish to apply for administrator privileges on the project do much needed maintenance the absence of other administrators and contributors. At the moment I’m working on a project and wish to have the ability to watch out for vandalism, and delete pages. A lot of pages needs to be deleted, and administrators have abandoned the ship long ago, and left to other projects. Thanks for your time. I’m not a very experienced user, but have more than 1000 edits on Wikipedia and a few hundred on wikibooks the last three months. I’m the only contributor within that time period. -- Abuluntu ( talk) 17:26, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

- Discussion: per discussion
We have set up a voting procedure to appoint the administrators of avk.wikipedia.org, present on the Doda (Community) page. A consultation has been launched. We solicited contributors with more than 50 contributions and set as criteria :
- Voting deadline: 14 days from the first recorded vote;
- General voting quorum: minimum 5 votes;
- Minimum affirmative vote: 5 votes;
- Validity of affirmative votes: two-thirds (e.g. 7/10, 7 affirmative and 3 negative maximum);
- Qualification to vote: having contributed at least 50 times to avk.wikipedia.org;
- Applicants must have made at least 200 contributions to avk.wikipedia.org;
- Nobody can vote for him/herself.
We believe that these criteria are quite objective and reasonable to designate responsible admins.
The procedure started on 12 January. Four contributors (Nevatovol, Kotavusik, Axel xadolik and ClaudiaVisentini) have proposed themselves as administrators. After 14 days of voting, these four persons were approved in accordance with the voting criteria and the entire procedure was followed. We therefore believe that these 4 persons must be validated by Wikimedia as administrators of the avk.wikipedia project. Copy to MF-Warburg for Langcom. Thank you. Regards.

Interface administrator access[edit]
See Interface admin for information about this user group.
- If you need to accomplish one-time, non-recurring task, please request your task at Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- 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.

A newly created wiki. It'll surely needs an interface administrator to maintain gadgets and other stuff. evrifaessa ❯❯❯ talk 19:30, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- May be but what do you have to do with it? Ruslik (talk) 20:19, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
- Well, it currently has no gadgets, missing even common ones like HotCat. I'm already experienced from Turkish Wikipedia and Turkish Wikiquote. If it's a big hassle to give this for you, I can also get approval from the community.--evrifaessa ❯❯❯ talk 07:58, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- An approval from tr.wikivoyage community would definitely be needed. If you have anything that can't wait a week, feel free to ask a steward to do it for you.
On hold until consensus to promote. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:11, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access[edit]
- 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[edit]
- 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.
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, notify listowners checkuser-l-owner
lists.wikimedia.org, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacyconnect and #wikimedia-checkuserconnect.
Oversight access[edit]
- 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.
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- 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, 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.
- Please, feel free to remove my advanced rights from gl.wiktionary as per wikt:gl:Conversa usuario:Gallaecio#Your_advanced_permissions_on_gl.wiktionary. I have no short or medium term plans to resume my activity in that project. Gallaecio (talk) 11:29, 27 January 2021 (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:
