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[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]

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[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.

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.

Caro de Segeda@tumwikipedia[edit]

Status:    On hold

May you please grant them 2-month temporary sysop. We are working on certain areas that need advanced rights. The areas include working on protected modules and templates, deleting empty, nonsense or image only pages, protecting good pages, etc. Discussion run for 7 days with 2 supports as our community is small for voting and we are the only active users there. Thank you. --- Tumbuka Arch★★★ 18:57, 17 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Tumbuka Arch, has Caro de Segeda given they consent to receive rights? --Mykola 04:24, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mykola7 Yes, they are aware. Tumbuka Arch★★★ 06:17, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, I am aware of this proposal and I will be happy to keep helping them to improve the Tumbuka Wikipedia. I believe a two-month period would be enough to solve any issues. Caro de Segeda (talk) 07:20, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Mykola7 per above. Thanks Tumbuka Arch★★★ 08:30, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
May I ask what has changed in the last few months? --Superpes15 (talk) 10:34, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Superpes15 This is a short period temporary sysop than the usual, and the user has experience in maintenance issues that need to be carried out.
About the last few months, the candidate was not responding hence the request turned to withdraw.
The wiki on which the rights are required has lots of maintenance works to do. Thank you.-- Tumbuka Arch★★★ 12:10, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for the reply! The problem is in fact in the lack of user accountability and response imho (I remember the issue of the biography and the socks). Every functionary, in my humble view, must know how to assume responsibility and respond without evading when asked about their behavior. I understand that the project needs for help, and not in general by GS and stewards, but by people who are locally active and understand the language. But I hope you also understand my concerns about this request. For two months, however, I think there are no problems whatsoever. Just waiting for other opinions on this. Thanks again :) Superpes15 (talk) 13:35, 18 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Uncle Bash007@ha.wikipedia.org[edit]

Time2wait.svg On hold until the 2nd April. --Mykola 09:41, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kittycataclysm@enwikibooks[edit]

Status:    In progress

See the linked discussion; consensus exists for this person to be given permanent adminship. I am aware that this falls a bit short of the MVR which calls for five votes, but historically stewards have refused to action requests that have been left open for more than two weeks, and hence I'm putting this here. Giving temp admin would be awkward given that every other admin on this wiki has permanent adminship. Leaderboard (talk) 18:06, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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.

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[edit]

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[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 .

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.

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

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.

防滥用过滤器@all[edit]

Status:    In progress

防滥用过滤器 still holds administrator permissions on 9 wikis. It seems that my request had not been noticed. Please consider removing the bits, if possible. Is it needed to adjust local interface settings? —— Eric Liu（Talk） 14:35, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ericliu1912 it looks like you added comments after that was closed, and it was archived. Confirm this is the list you are requesting: (wuuwiki, zawiki, zhwikibooks, zhwikinews, zhwikiquote, zhwikisource, zhwikiversity, zhwikivoyage, zhwikt). Keep in mind, that this doesn't actually cause any problems. Have you verified that MediaWiki:Abusefilter-blocker has the correct value on each of these projects already? — xaosflux Talk 15:35, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
FWIW phab:T160666 has been opened for years to just use one central account for all of this, but it's not being worked on. — xaosflux Talk 15:50, 21 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ericliu1912: I saw your comment that you would like to connect all unattached accounts to the CentralAuth. But the account was created by someone else in zhwiki but the others were created as system accounts. I don’t know if attaching those accounts to CentralAuth is appropriate (unless locking the account after the attaching the local accounts). Also, the current abuse filter account in zhwiki (zh:User:滥用过滤器) does not have an CentralAuth account (See Special:CentralAuth/滥用过滤器). 132.234.228.41 23:37, 26 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Through research I've understood that system accounts don't really "exist", so that's fine, no need anymore. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 01:24, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Avicennasis@scowiki[edit]

Status:    Done

Inactive admin. The admin activity review discussion indicates that the community does not support them retaining their tools CiphriusKane (talk) 04:28, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Elton and Stanglavine: are handling the AAR so I ping them! Superpes15 (talk) 14:29, 24 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I took over AAR and handled it yesterday. -- Amanda (she/her) 23:50, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Eldarion@trwiki[edit]

Status:    Not done

Per the new policy (the results of it can be seen here). Kolhisli (talk) 06:55, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kolhisli, As I see, Eldarion is now back active after notification. Now I see 106 edits and 58 log admin actions over the past year. --Mykola 08:02, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I need to mention that 22 of those edits are done after 23 March 2023, which is more than 1 month after the notification about removal of admin rights. I also should point out that these edits only include vandalism rollback and automatic warning message sending which are probably done in order not to lose the admin rights. In this situation, I don't think it's not too bureaucratic to be strict about the number of edits and date of notification. Kolhisli (talk) 08:40, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
FYI: A similar request Superpes15 (talk) 11:18, 25 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
X mark.svg Not done There are a few different ways this could go wrong, especially when applying things retroactively. Stewards have always declined to act where community policy is even partially ambiguous. The policy will need to change or the inactivity will have to occur again to the thresholds in the policy. -- Amanda (she/her) 23:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
