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.

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

Theklan@eu.wikisource[edit]

Status:    In progress

Hello, I have this permission in eu.wiki and currently I'm the one doing css changes in common.css when needed. There are some minor changes we need in eu.wikisource, where I'm also an admin and we don't have anyone with css access there. Could I get the permission, please? -Theklan (talk) 10:12, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

You need a local discussion. Ruslik (talk) 17:49, 9 February 2019 (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.

Stegop@ptwiki[edit]

Status:    On hold

Stegop was approved for a one-year term as CheckUser at Portuguese Wikipedia. He has not yet signed the confidentiality agreement, but has already been instructed to do so. Érico (talk) 15:49, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Time2wait.svg On hold pending signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions). —MarcoAurelio (talk) 21:36, 12 February 2019 (UTC)
@Stegop: Please see above. @Érico: Would you be able to assist Stegop with regards to the NDA signature if they have troubles understanding the process? Regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:25, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
Yes. I also reminded him today of signing the agreement, and I told that I could help him whatever is necessary, but he has not yet answered me. Thanks. Érico (talk) 01:10, 15 February 2019 (UTC)

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.

Hello. Please grant me importer rights for import some gadget modules. Our gadgets not working. I want to be a fix gadgets. NMW03 (talk) 10:52, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

  1. Support Support A¥×aᚢ ⚔ Zaÿïþzaþ€ 11:27, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Please do not have a voting here, but on azwiki. --MF-W 13:33, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg:, done. Can be not temporarily?--NMW03 (talk) 17:24, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Will there be a continuous need to import gadgets/modules? What you described above sounded more like a one-time action. --MF-W 17:53, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg: Yeah. This need it all the time. For create new gadgets/modules.--NMW03 (talk) 18:48, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
What about giving them a year or 6 months and then granting perma if it is good? Import is a serious business, we usually grant it (only) temporarily. — regards, Revi 10:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
Dear @MF-Warburg: and @-revi:, @NMW03: is a interface administrator on azwiki and he actively crate and edit gadgets. I think you can give him a year or 6 months, the permanently. Our wiki support his efforts. --Drabdullayev17 (talk) 16:02, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg:, @-revi: OK. You can give temporarily.--NMW03 (talk) 16:57, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
As I said, please vote/discuss locally first, not here. A discussion should run for at least 1 week on the wiki in question, generally. --MF-W 17:37, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
@MF-Warburg:, @-revi: 17 user voted. Is it enough?--NMW03 (talk) 09:52, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

Time2wait.svg On hold until 10 Feb ("discussion should run for at least 1 week on the wiki") --Alaa :)..! 16:47, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

  • @NMW03: where are you importing "from"? If from other WMF projects (even moreso if a small list of them) 'transwiki importer' may suffice (v.s. xml importer). — xaosflux Talk 17:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
@Xaosflux:, @علاء: Yes. I want to import from English Wikipedia and other WMF projects.--NMW03 (talk) 07:27, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
@NMW03: 'transwiki importer' is a less risky access level, and setting up transwiki will also allow any of your admins to run import - but you have to define a list of sources. So adding 'enwiki' is easy - but it dosen't work so much for "any project" - in addition to enwiki, are there specific projects you need to import from? An example of requesting sites can be seen here: phab:T34500. — xaosflux Talk 10:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
Or I can help you with the process, if rest of your community members are also fine with this idea. — regards, Revi 18:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
@-revi: @Xaosflux: Mainly I'll import from enwiki. Is the 'importer' enough?--NMW03 (talk) 06:59, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
Provided you can get another consensus to Request for configuration change, you will just need admin account to the stuff. — regards, Revi 11:36, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
@-revi: with their community supporting 'importer' (perhaps without knowing all of the implications) this request should easily be able to be 'downgraded' to 'transwiki importer' (provided they improve the import sources) right? In the meantime @NMW03: can you start a local thread to approve "Enable transwiki imports from the English Wikipedia" on azwiki? For the summary say that it would allow "administrators and transwiki importers" to use w:az:Special:Import to import (copy in) histories from enwiki. This could be used for technical imports such as modules, or for articles that you want to translate. — xaosflux Talk 13:17, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
