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.

Requests[edit]

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.

Doostdar@fa.wikibooks[edit]

Status:    Done
After several times of prolongation, this time I request for permanent Administrator access. --Doostdar (talk) 12:03, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
I am not sure that three votes are sufficient. Ruslik (talk) 17:41, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
Then just grant temporary access.... --MF-W 15:52, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2018-06-27. --MF-W 15:52, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Tb095811zhwiki@zh.wikinews[edit]

Status:    Done

The user was nominated as a sysop. According to local policy, the user is eligible for a permanent sysop permission as (s)he received 80% or above support in 14 days. --HW (talk) 03:17, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done Permanent, because the existing local sysops are already permanent and 5 votes are not that bad. --MF-W 15:54, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Benoit Rochon@atj.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    In progress
Hello. Wikipetcia Atikamekw (atj:Otitikowin) just got out from the incubator, where I was a test-admin for several months. StevenJ81 put me sysop on the new wiki (atj:User:Benoit Rochon), which is ending in 3 days. But I would like to know if I can be sysop again for another 6 months, until the new Wiki community gets organized better.
While we are there, we started a vote for new sysops on atj.wp a week ago and there are two persons that are elected: atj:User:Nehirowisiw and atj:User:Bilbo40. Is it possible to grant them at the same time? We plan that I will train them Wednesday 28th. Thank you in advance. Benoit Rochon (talk) 14:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
For the record, I did not do that, because I am not a steward and do not have those rights. MF-Warburg did that. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:33, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Also for the record, User:Nehirowisiw and User:Benoit Rochon were both test-admins on the project at Incubator, so have some experience using the mop. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:40, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
You need to make a request for adminship on the wiki for yourself as well. I created separate section for the other two candidates below. --MF-W 15:38, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
Thank you MF-W. But I don't want to become permanent admin, neither I want to ask the local community to vote on my case. Only thing is that new namespaces just kicked in few hours ago, and there's a lot of cleaning that need to be done... and I only have 2 days left on the initial sysop, would it be possible to extend for at least couple weeks ? Best, Benoit Rochon (talk) 20:43, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Nehirowisiw@atjwiki[edit]

Status:    Done

--MF-W 15:40, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2017-12-27. Please remember to translate the interface at translatewiki.net only and preferably upload images to Wikimedia Commons. To prolong your adminship, please come back a few days before the status expires or hold a local election if the community grows. Thanks. --MF-W 15:56, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Bilbo40@atjwiki[edit]

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.

Waihorace@zh.wikinews[edit]

Status:    Not done

I was nominated as the bureaucrat since the previous (only) bureaucrat resigned in March 2017. The vote has been run for 2 weeks. --HW (talk) 03:22, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

X mark.svg Not done 3 votes are not enough for bureaucrat status. --MF-W 15:45, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

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.

All flags@wikimania2016wiki[edit]

Status:    Done

Similar to above.--GZWDer (talk) 17:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes check.svg All removed. RadiX∞ 01:21, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

HaithamS (WMF)@test.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Locally handled

Former WMF staff whose account is locked.--GZWDer (talk) 17:34, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Local bureaucrats can remove his flag. --Ks-M9 [disc.] 19:19, 26 June 2017 (UTC).
Done. RadiX∞ 19:44, 26 June 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

Transwiki import access on mul.wikisource[edit]

Status:    Not done

After a long discussion the time seems right for the inauguration of nap.wikisource. it.wikisource has hosted these texts in neapulitan and they need to be transferred to mul.wikisource before the opening of the new subdomain. I would like to be granted transwiki import rights from itwikisource to mul.wikisource for two-three days, as I feel the urge to preserve the history of those pages. I proposed myself as a volunteer for this task, and there has been only words of praise; I am no idler layabout and my actions as sysop and bureaucrat are perfectly logged. If stewards want me to ask for a votation process on it.source I will comply, but I see this transwiki import as a simple fast harmless chore and the discussion that I linked shows no need for more consensus. - εΔω 21:26, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Why didn't you apply or ask on sourceswiki? I cannot find any edit on this topic over there - regards -jkb- 13:43, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
@OrbiliusMagister: once more: if the whole problem is to import those approx 18 pages to oldwikisource so I can do it this late nicht after my arbcom conference in :de (or tommorow). But somebody must guarantee that somebody will formate and categorize them etc. You can contact me on :dewiki as well. -jkb- 16:37, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
No problem at all. If you are willing to do the transfer I will point out everything ASAP. @C.R.: already knows what to do. - εΔω 17:59, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
OK, so this request can be closed, I'll import the pages listed here this late evening or tomorrow. Regards, -jkb- 19:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
imported -jkb- 09:42, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Marking (the initial request) as not done. --MF-W 15:48, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
