Steward requests/Permissions

This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight access, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. If your wiki has a bureaucrat, please use the relevant local request page instead.

This page is not intended for permissions debates; please only make a request here after gaining the approval of your local community. For urgent access requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, you may contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards IRC channel (see also a web-based version).

Requests for steward assistance which do not belong on this page include requests for bot status, spam whitelist/blacklist requests, and requests for CheckUser queries.


When requesting permissions, please copy and paste the following boilerplate text, filling in the three required items (language code, link to local request, link to local userpage) as well as any other salient information. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community.

===== Project name =====

I request sysop access on ''ps.wikipedia'':

*'''Language Code:''' ps
*'''Local Request Link:''' [[ps:Project:wikipedia]]
*'''Local User Page:''' [[ps:User:waliachakzai]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Stewards: all requests presented here should be archived when fulfilled.

Current Requests

Please place your request at the end of the appropriate section below, and state in the heading which project you are referring to. All requests for permissions are subject to approval by the local community, and any unauthorised permissions will be revoked upon complaint.

Please remember to inform your community of your request. A steward will notify you when the request is processed.

Beware of sockpuppetters and imposters, always ask for a confirmation edit on the destination wiki.

Oversight rights for English Wikipedia

Note to Stewards: When you give someone Oversight, please list them on Hiding revisions. Thanks.

Note to those requesting Oversight: Do not request Oversight rights here; this is where the Arbitration Committee makes usergroup membership requests once they have agreed to give someone Oversight access. Thanks.

CheckUser rights

To ask for a steward to answer one of your request, see Request for CheckUser information.

Note to Stewards: when someone ask a CheckUser status, please check the current policy of attribution of status before giving this status. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser. Thanks.

According to policy, there is no TEMPORARY status of checkuser. Either there are already checkuser on a project and these people must be asked to do the checkuser. Or there is nobody and a steward must do it. Giving a temporary status to anyone just simply asking it to a steward, with no agreement from the local community is against the checkuser status rules. Giving it with no request mentioned anywhere is even more problematic. Breaching these rules should imply removing the status of the steward if he can not be trusted to follow commonly accepted rules. If any one has a problem with this rule and wish that from now on, checkuser status be given to anyone without any community discussion, he must have the current rules changed, not breach them. Thanks Anthere 03:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note: When giving someone checkuser, please (a) ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l and (b) email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list. (The list may contain confidential information.) - David Gerard 15:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any request made in a different paragraph than this one should not be considered.

  • Language Code: te
  • Local Request Link: [1]
  • Local User Page: User:వైఙాసత్య
  • Reason:There is no sysop for Telugu wikisource. We already have 100 articles mostly moved from wikipedia.

Albanian Wikibooks (sq.wikibooks)

I request sysop access on sq.wikibooks:

  • Language Code: sq
  • Local Request Link: sq.Wikibooks
  • Local User Page: User:Puntori
  • Reason:in this project which is in Albanian language there is no sysop and we are not able to do nothing when we have problem with any kind of irresponsible peoples. In situation like this we can not work with all our capacity, for now we ar not working almost at all.

Thank you. Puntori (Puntori)

Wiktionary

Albanian Wiktionary (sq.wiktionary)

I request sysop access on sq.wiktionary:

  • Language Code: sq
  • Local User Page: User:Puntori
  • Local request link: Sq.Wiktionary]
  • Reason: in this project which is in Albanian language there is just one administrator and he can't give to other users to administrate so he is not able alone to administrate in Wiktionary because he's in same time administrator and in Wikipedia. So you can give to some one the right to have possibility to give administration access due to continue to work as we have started.

Wiktionary

fa.Wiktionary

I request bureaucrats access on fa.Wiktionary:

This project has two inactive sysops. My request has been posted since July 21, and some public musing has taken place about the state of adminship by a fellow user. There are less than a handful of active users, but fa.Wiktionary has gathered more than 2000 entries. The project is badly in need of maintenance, with many messages left untranslated, the css unsuitable for display in the Persian language, and a range of unrelated entries in need of deletion. I have been a bureaucrat on fa.Wikibooks and fa.Wikisoure since those projects were started. Kaveh 11:19, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not done request rejected. This community is to small for a bureaucrat. New sysops can be appointed by this procedure on meta. --Walter 12:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This certainly is a new practice. Please make an explicit note of this requirement on the current page to avoid confusion in future. I've changed my request to sysop acsess. Kaveh 16:37, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

You may request self-de-adminship here; stewards will grant such requests immediately if you provide proof that you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki. This may be accomplished most easily by placing a note in English on the talk page of your local wiki confirming your request for de-adminship.

To request the another user's de-adminship, please gain consensus on your own wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When it is finished and there exists community consensus that the user should be de-adminned, a trusted person from that wiki should just provide a link here to the discussion and a very brief explanation of the reason for de-adminship and results of discussion.

Do not begin or continue de-adminship discussions here.

Current temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

Please add here new requests. The approved requests can be found at /Approved temporary ordered by the period granted. Please do not archive temporary granted until the permissions are removed. Stewards, when granting, please mention the date of removal.

If you are requesting sysop-status to make a translation of the wiki, see also the BetaWiki-project. That is a project for making a neutral MediaWiki translation that then will be default for all wikis. That is more useful than making only a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list of MediaWiki translation. See also MediaWiki localisation.

Username changes

Meta bureaucrats: If you fulfill a request in this section for a username change on Meta, please note here that you have done so.

From User:Meanos to User:Jd

Poke me if I'm not on the right page to ask for a username change. I'm a French user known as jd on fr.wikipedia and on www.wikimediafoundation.org (wikimedia:User:Jd). Since User:Jd has no contributions here, but does exist, I guess a change from Meanos to Jd is possible, isn't it? Thank you ^_^ jd  01:03, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support his proposal is not so far from the proposed solution of user name overlapping in the coming realization of single-signon. There is no problem to moving the user name Jd to another, and for the sake of fr:Jd's active contributing, sooner or later, he will take this account on meta too. --Aphaia 11:37, 11 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
