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.

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. Approved temporary access requests are listed at SRAT. Requests are moved to that page by a bot.

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.

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.


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.

Ymnes@nl.wikinews.org[edit]

Status:    In progress

Please remove the temporary admin-rights of User:Ymnes due to gross misuse of powers. This user blocked me while we had a conflict. Ymnes did not agree with my critical stance about the Dutch Wikinews and removed normal discussion content here with a reference to my critical stance: (in translation) procedural: "Processed requests will be removed by default on this page." Furthermore, I no longer want to look at that quarreling Banner that wanted to break the project on Meta. Then he came with a warning reading (in translation): (...) I therefore like to block and quickly. You have been warned, because this project is intended for people who want to build it. There is no doubt about that.. And indeed, he blocked me [1]. In a discussion later he stated that he is willing to block me permanently when I keep being critical, on Wikinews or elsewhere on Wikipedia. The Banner (talk) 01:29, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

Wrong explanation. You reverted my clean up of a page according to local regulation. After I undid that and gave you a warning with explanation on your talk page, you reverted me again. You were warned, now you are blocked. In fact you're now exporting a wiki coflict to this project, and to Meta and nl.wikipedia before. @Administrator - Note that The Banner is not a contributor to nl.wikinews[2], he is in fact a threat to the project and has continuously attacked the project, yet when it had to be relaunched from the incubator. Ymnes (talk) 08:33, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I'd like to make this story a little more complete for those who read this along. The discussion referred to hereabove by both Ymnes and The Banner was about a page on Wikinews-nl which had been nominated for deletion, first by me and then by The Banner. In my opinion, the nomination procedure should have lasted a little longer, so I do not fully agree with the deletion of the discussion by Ymnes yesterday (see here). Nevertheless, I have meanwhile accepted that the other steady contributors to Wikinews-nl prefer to keep the nominated page in the main space. In summary, I'm not completely happy with Ymnes' way of working here, but I think it would be a bridge too far to desysop him as he has also made many good contributions to the project during the last months. De Wikischim (talk) 09:25, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
It has been fully according to the procedures and that is what counts. People disagree regularly, so that is not a big deal. The Banner - who isn't a contributor of Wikinews - just entered the project to revert an administrator decision and making an edit war of it. Now afterwards, he is attacking me on Wikipedia, and on two places on Meta. He has block records on 4 projects, which are considerable on en.wikipedia and nl.wikipedia. In the past he has been found guilty of suck puppetry, and making public the personal name of a Wikipedia user. He has been subject to a number of arbcom disputes. Since the beginning of this year he has made it his objective to prevent the relauch of nl.wikinews and is campaigning against it since it has been reopened. A global lock on his account would be most appropriate. Ymnes (talk) 09:40, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
The request of Ymness for a global lock is the typical example why he is complete incompetent as an administrator, as he lets his own grudges prevail over WikipediaWikimedia. The Banner (talk) 17:25, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
In the basis this is not about Wikipedia, but about Wikinews. Actually, Wikipedia has nothing to do with this issue. I do not agree that Ymnes is fully incompetent as an administrator, notwithstanding the fact that I'm somewhat critical too to his way of working in this specific case (see above). De Wikischim (talk) 17:47, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have stated Wikimedia. But with his request, Ymnes shows that it is he who is a threat to Wikimedia. The Banner (talk) 17:50, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
That ("a threat to Wikimedia") is highly exaggerated. Not every user who blocks a little too fast is immediately a threat. De Wikischim (talk) 17:55, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
He is by now changing the of the game to back up his actions. Consensus, anyone? Please note that Ymnes with this rule change the possibility opens to block someone on Wikinews when he is critical about Wikinews on other projects. So my request to dispose him as an administrator on Meta-Wiki can be used for further blocks on Wikinews. The Banner (talk) 18:12, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
If you were a contributor to nl.Wikinews and would have helped to build the project - you're not such a person - than you wouldn't have had to fear anything. So why are you so afraid? The project is growing, we have new volunteers and this young project is doing very greatly, especially for a 'wikinews' project and for being such a small language as Dutch is. But we don't want to loose what we are building. In fact you were a real threat to the project before it reopened and since about yesterday you start to attack it directly at the project. We know your block records, arbcom records and your fury. @Steward, read this please (April 8) where The Banner is blocked because of his "battleground mentality". The Banner is not a Wikinews contributor. So let's skip this whole thing. In view of his track record, a global lock of his account is the best thing a to do. Ymnes (talk) 18:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
How many times are you going to repeat that I have been a bad boy in the past? Every time you want to get rid of criticism? And again you are now importing things from other projects that have no relevance for Wikinews but that you use as an excuse to defame me. Conduct not fitting for an administrator. Nowhere. The Banner (talk) 19:11, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I have not seen a new born Banner. Here, elsewhere on Meta, on Wikinews, and Wikipedia, in just a weekend, I have seen a defaming one that attacks. "Battleground mentality" indeed, no change at all. Ymnes (talk) 19:25, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
And the only thing I still see is an incompetent administrator abusing his rights to silence other opinions. The Banner (talk) 19:36, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm not your beggar. We are building a project and the progress is great. It's not your thing, you never wanted it, so why the fuzz. Ymnes (talk) 19:43, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
So when I start making contributions, you just use your own grudges and administrator rights to lock me out... The Banner (talk) 19:47, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Oh my God, what a lie! To recapture: 1) there was a decision made and archived, 2) you reverted that, 3) I undid that and warned you on your talk page, inclusive of mentioning that avoiding my warning would have consequences, 4) you reverted me, 5) I blocked you and brought the discussion back into the archive. Ymnes (talk) 20:05, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Your own words: Verder wil ik niet langer tegen die ruziezoekende Banner aankijken die het project kapot wilde maken op Meta The Banner (talk) 20:31, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
It says that I don't want that fight seeking user The Banner that searches to bring down the project. So I am a good administrator that protects nl.wikinews from you. Ymnes (talk) 21:00, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
And with that, you have provided the stewards enough evidence why your administrator rights should be revoked. Bye. The Banner (talk) 21:06, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Bye, please globally lock this threat to the Community. Ymnes (talk) 21:13, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Oppose Oppose There was no talk about this on the local wiki, and the applicant is not working on Wikinews. Livenws (talk) 12:31, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
I have not many edits yet but I tried to be useful: my edits. The Banner (talk) 17:22, 23 September 2017 (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

Importer transwiki for Pierpao@it.wikiversity[edit]

Status:    Done

Please assign the transwiki importer flag for Pierpao on it.wikiversity. Thanks. Samuele2002 (Talk!) 12:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Discussion started on Sept. 13. Is that enough, just after two days? Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:38, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
MarcoAurelio. User:Samuele2002 It's very young, very active and... a bit rushy :), usually ther are no other users involved in global debates and last but likely first, he ovelooked the related rule. I posted two warnings, in the procedure discussion and at the Bar (It Wikiversity global issues page). So please wait for us the required time. Regards--Pierpao (talk) 08:02, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
We discussed the matter informally some days ago on it.wiki as well (here). Small project > efficient project. ;) --Lucas (talk) 16:21, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
@Lucas: credo ci sia un po' di confusione, fra importer e importer transwiki, sono due cose ben diverse. Il primo importa come possono importare gli admin, il secondo può importare anche "fuori" dal menu a tendina di speciale:importa. Da quanto leggo gli serve e si è discusso del primo soltanto, ma viene chiesto il secondo. --Vituzzu (talk) 16:27, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
@Vituzzu: Se non leggo al contrario, qui si è chiesto il flag di Importer transwiki (e non quello di importer) che ha il privilegio "import" ma senza il privilegio "importupload", sbaglio? --Lucas (talk) 17:03, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Hai ragione, ma ho il sospetto che a un certo punto siano state scambiate le etichette. --Vituzzu (talk) 18:31, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Confermo che la richiesta è per il flag di Importatore transwiki che può solo importare dalle wiki abilitate (come gli admin). Non di importatore (che può importare da file xlm.). --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 20:18, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
Yes check.svg Done --Vituzzu (talk) 13:24, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
Thanks. Regards--Pierpao (talk) 19:22, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
