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]

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below:

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.

Пугачов Иван Петрович@xal.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Not done

I ask to give administrator rights in Kalmyk Wikipedia. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 20:44, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

@Пугачов Иван Петрович: Please start a local discussion on the Village pump or some central location in your wiki and link it here. We can grant the permission after a week based on the discussion--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 06:01, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
@Shanmugamp7: And I have already made a request, here. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 07:28, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
Time2wait.svg On hold till 15 September --Shanmugamp7 (talk) 09:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm in no position to comment at the local wiki. But I will point out that there are indefs on this user at four wikis under two different user names (User:Пугачов Иван Петрович and User:Пугачов Иван). That is, of course, not an automatic reason to decline this request, but I assume the stewards would wish to be aware of the situation. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:24, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
X mark.svg Not done User has been indef blocked on more than three wikis and the contributions to xal wiki are not so convincing. As there is no active community at xal wiki to review the contributions, i am declining this request.--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 04:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
He seems to be banned from mhrwiki for changing some Ukraine related disputs and Georgia/Abkhasia situation related edits (he seems to change pro-Russian violation of NPOV to anti-Russian). I am not sure what exactly was in srwiki, but it seems that something related to Crimea, Transnistria, Kosovo disputes. Again he changes one NPOV violations to the opposite ones. In ruwiki he is blocked for being a sock of banned user:Пугачов Иван. The latter account banned for edit warring and destructive demeanour but viewing random edits does not show anything really bad. The latter acc also banned in vepwiki for as I can see also Georgia/Abkhasia related warring. Please note that in none of the wikis mentioned I have the permissions to see deleted contributions so I may get not the whole picture. But basing on what I see I do not think that bans before first 50 edits for edit wars where both sides are wrong (as neither tried to go for NPOV) is something which has to do with admin rights. For what it is worth he can influence territorial disputes related articles without admin privileges now. If it were up to me I would risk giving a temporary adminship for a short term and see how it goes. In case he uses his rights in a damaging way it always can be reverted. --Base (talk) 14:28, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

SimmeD@da.wikiquote[edit]

Status:    Done

My 7th time. SimmeD (talk) 09:57, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

On hold till 22 September. Stryn (talk) 07:36, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2019-09-22. --Shanmugamp7 (talk) 04:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Jnanaranjan sahu@or.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    On hold

I would like to be an administrator at Odia Wikipedia.--Jnanaranjan sahu (talk) 05:00, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

On hold till 23 September. --Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 06:12, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

AlvaroMolina@ptwikinews[edit]

Status:    Done

After 15 days of discussion, I have been confirmed as an administrator with 7 votes in favor and 2 against. If possible I would like to extend my period to at least 1 year or more as the community has grown since the first RFA. Thanks. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 12:10, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Concerns of opposes were related to activity? Ruslik (talk) 16:44, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
@Ruslik0: At least according to below discussions on the talk section of that page, yes. RadiX∞ 20:09, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
@MBisanz: ? —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 15:54, 18 September 2017 (UTC)
Yes, the majority who voted against it was because the user in question edited sparingly, but after reconsideration some users removed and abstained. Micael D. (talk) 22:09, 16 September 2017 (UTC)

Any information on the status of this request? —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 15:30, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2018-09-21. Ruslik (talk) 18:58, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

ויקיג'אנקי@hewikivoyage[edit]

Status:    Done

I have been an admin at hebvoy since since it was created in 2013 and in the recent years I have actually been one of the only active users in our very small community of editors (I'm mostly focused on building a good foundation, more or less by myself, which I am hoping would attract many more Hebrew speakers over time to help expand and improve the existing content). After 9 days of discussion, I have been confirmed as an administrator with 5 votes in favor. Please grant me permissions for one year. Best Regards, ויקיג'אנקי (talk) 17:36, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2018-09-21. Please remember to translate the interface at translatewiki.net only and preferably upload images to Wikimedia Commons. To prolong your adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:53, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Hippias@itwikiversity[edit]

Status:    Done

Please assign the adminship for two-year how was it done for user:Samuele2002 and User:Martinligabue Thank you --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 12:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2019-09-22. Please remember to translate the interface at translatewiki.net only and preferably upload images to Wikimedia Commons. To prolong your adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:15, 22 September 2017 (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.


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.

Savh@global[edit]

Status:    Done
Status:    Done

Please remove my steward access, including access to the mailing lists, OTRS and wikis (both CU & stewards, I do not have CheckUser access elsewhere), and my administrator access on meta. It has been a pleasure to perform these tasks for the past few years, but I currently don't have the time to keep up to date. Savhñ 23:13, 21 September 2017 (UTC)

Don't enjoy doing it, but per your request Yes check.svg Done. Thanks for everything and I hope you will stay active on Wikipedia. So long! Trijnsteltalk 23:19, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
Angry / sad reacts only. >:( – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:21, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
By far the saddest news of the day. :( RadiX∞ 02:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Indeed. 🔫🔫🔫. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:08, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
By the way didn't the standard on hold procedure apply? --Base (talk) 03:01, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
It typically doesn't apply to rights beyond sysop (although I know some stewards do enforce the hold there too) since generally they're trusted enough to understand the dangers of a ragequit. Especially with CU/OS there may be legal reasons they are resigning, or they may not trust themselves enough to not violate someone's privacy and waiting might not be such a great idea. Of course, none of those are the case here. --Rschen7754 04:17, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Besides: Savh told me a while ago that he wanted to quit and now asked me specifically to action it as soon as it was posted. So that's why I didn't wait. Trijnsteltalk 09:50, 22 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:    In progress

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)
