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). If you are in urgent need of assistance, and only in that situation, enter the command !steward in this channel to ask for as help

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. ~~~~

Oversight requests

At present, this is only available on the English Wikipedia.

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

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


CheckUser requests

To ask for a steward to answer one of your requests, 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.

Any checkuser request made in a different section than this one will not be considered.

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]


en.wiki

Would you mind linking here the page reporting the decision? Thank you. --Paginazero - Ø 06:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I know I didn't follow the template, because there is no page to link to. The decision was made by the Arbitration Committee itself, using a private mailing list. This request is the first announcement, as I am a member of the Committee. We've done this before for all of our previous checkusers, I believe. Dmcdevit 22:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator requests

Requests for removal of access belong in a different section.

Wikipedia

sd.wikipedia

I request sysop access on sd.wikipedia:

I am sysop with username "zafar" at http://sd.wikinews.org plz grant me permission as sysop at http://sd.wikipedia.org I will boost it more with the help of other users. Alixafar 19:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please create a local request page, thank you. --Snowdog 07:16, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ve.wikipedia

I request sysop access on "ve.wikipedia":

Although I do not read or write Venda, I am volunteering to serve as an interim sysop until a person fluent in Venda can be found. There is another person who has expressed a willingness to serve also, see http://ve.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators FredBauder 16:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

please add your request to the local request page, this seems to be this one, rather than the one you created? thanks, oscar 13:14, 14 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

gv.wikipedia

I request sysop access on gv.wikipedia:

Thank you. --Norrin strange 06:27, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please create a local request page, thank you. Jon Harald Søby 11:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]



Gaeilge Vicipéid - Irish Wikipedia

I request sysop access on ga.wikipedia:

The request was made at ga:Plé Vicipéide:Riarthóirí on 30 July 2006, but no one has responded to it. No votes in favor or against Hoopydink becoming an admin at ga:. Considering he applied for adminship his very first day at ga:, though, and that this is his only edit to article space, I'd be inclined to vote against. Angr 07:33, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, actually. Though I am a native Irish speaker, I don't really contribute to the ga.wikipedia. I had planned to start concentrating there after I finished up a project on the en.wikipedia, but then I became an administrator there and that has been taking up much of my time on Wikipedia. Vicipéide:Riarthóirí is inactive (there's really no pressing for more administrators at this point, so it's not really a big deal or a page to watch), so when I become a bit more experienced in the ga.wikipedia, I'll resubmit a request here if I still feel that I want admin access there. Hoopydink 18:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uyghur Wikipedia

User:توشقان wishes to have sysop access on ug.wikipedia:

Although he has only made 13 edits so far, nevertheless he is a native speaker of Uyghur. The request was made on 28 September 2006, but no one (except me) has yet responded to it. --Jose77 22:20, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Pangasinan wikipedia

I request sysop access on pag.wikipedia:

I was the main contributor of Pangasinan wikipedia, when it was still a test wiki. I want to make it a fully functional wikipedia, with all the buttons and instructions in Pangasinan. --Arikasikis 14:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Paginazero - Ø 06:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chavacano Wikipedia

I request sysop access on cbk-zam.wikipedia:

Requesting sysop permission for the newly created Chavacano de Zamboanga Wikipedia. I started the request for the creation of this wikipedia and about to fully implement it (eg. interface translation, etc...). However, I need the necessary permission. Thank you. Weekeejames 19:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

nl.wikisource

I request sysop access on nl.wikisource: all other sysops seem to have retired, and I like to add a constructive contribution to nl.wikisource, fight vandalism, help the nl.wikisource community in general.

  • Language Code: nl
  • Local Request Link: [1]
  • Local User Page: User:Kempm

Thank you. Kempm 15:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This wiki appears to have a bureaucrat, s:nl:Gebruiker:Quistnix, who has been active on the Dutch Wikipedia within the last two days. I suggest you leave a message for him at w:nl:Overleg gebruiker:Quistnix requesting sysop access; surely he will be glad to grant your request, considering that all the other sysops are indeed inactive. — Dan | talk 18:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

cy.wikisource

I request sysop access on cy.wikisource: the only sysop is Brion VIBBER, who hasn't made an edit there since 10 December 2005 and who (to judge by his Babel boxes) doesn't speak Welsh. I seem to be the only person there at all who's contributed to the main space more recently than June, and the only logged-in user (at least, I don't know about anons) to edit the wiki at all since Jon Harald Søby edited his own user page in July. It's a very lonely place, so I'd like to have the keys to the broom closet, please!

Thank you. Angr 12:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hoi! I suggest you create a page for admin requests (eventually you can just use the community portal for that), and try to advertise the project a bit in the Welsh Wikipedia. Jon Harald Søby 09:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really a user of the Welsh Wikipedia, but I can make a request at cy:s:Wicitestun:Community Portal and then contact the few people who have contributed to cy-wikisource name space in the past and ask them if they'll support me becoming an admin. Angr 10:18, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, the request is at cy:s:Wicitestun:Y Sgriptoriwm and everyone who has ever contributed to mainspace at cy-wikisource (all three of them besides me) has supported my request to become an admin. Angr 09:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chinese Wikinews

I request sysop access on zh.wikinews:

Thank you. Alex S.H. Lin 02:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The vote just started and (as far as I can understand) you do not have yet support. Please allow the vote to go on for at least one week. --Paginazero - Ø 06:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat requests

Wikipedia

Min Dong Wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access on cdo.wikipedia:

Sorry, we don't have a "Local Request Link" because so far we haven't got a community in Min Dong Wiki yet. But please trust me I'm qualified to be a bureaucrat because I'm a native speaker of Min Dong and much of the materials of its incubator version was contributed by me.

Min Dong Wikipedia needs localizing~ Thank you so much. GnuDoyng 07:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my local request in Min Dong wiki is positive, would someone please grand me the access? Or tell me what more I should do?
I'm a little anxious. Thank you. --GnuDoyng 15:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plattdüütsche Wikipedia

I request sysop bureaucrat access on nds.wikipedia:

My local request on nds:Wikipedia:Adminkandidaturen was positive. Thank you. ::Slomox:: >< 11:00, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done already. --Paginazero - Ø 11:27, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I missed to replace the word sysop with bureaucrat when copying and pasting (but it was in the bureaucrat section ;-)) I request bureaucrat access on nds.wikipedia. --::Slomox:: >< 19:41, 4 October 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.




ja:wikipedia

I(FeZn) request my resignation of sysop on ja.wikipedia:

Thank you. FeZn 06:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you post a confirmation on this on your local user page, preferrably in English (just write "I confirm that I request resignation as sysop." or something). Thanks, Jon Harald Søby 13:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done --Paginazero - Ø 06:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

Please add new requests here.

Currently active temporary permissions may be found at /Approved temporary. Stewards, when granting, please copy the request to the appropriate place at /Approved temporary, and state clearly the date of removal. Do not archive granted requests until their expiration.

If you are requesting sysop status to make a translation of the wiki interface, 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.

Ne.Wikipedia

I'd like to request sysop access on Nepalese Wikipedia.

  • Language Code: ne
  • Local Request Link: none
  • Local User Page: ne:User:Jose77

I have managed to obtain a list of Nepalese words here from native speakers and I intend to translate the interface into Nepalese. Thankyou.

--Jose77 20:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted till 29 October. Jon Harald Søby 08:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ru-sib Wikipedia

I made YaroslavZolotaryov@ru_sibwiki an admin temporarily so he can translate the interface of this newly opened wiki. Angela 09:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Recently created Wikipedias

Hello, I'm from the Incubator. Due to a recent wiki creating, I request a temporary adminship on these wikis to fix errors imported by TimStarling's Incubator import bot for a very short of time - three days should be enough. The wikis concerned are: wuu, mzn, new, eml, hsb, nov, pag, bar, bpy, diq, roa-tara, cbk-zam, zh-classical, cu, ru-sib, cdo. My username is Timichal on all these wikis. Thank you very much! — Timichal 18:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done Jon Harald Søby 19:01, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

bar.wikipedia

bar:User:Melancholie
I want to request a temporary sysop status on bar.wikipedia (to fix bar:MediaWiki:Mainpage for example; to fight vandalism as long as there is no/small community without permanent sysop). --Melancholie 03:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Namespace spelling change in bn-wiki

I'm a bureaucrat in Bengali wikipedia. We have reached a consensus there to change the spelling of the Wikipedia namespace, from উইকিপেডিয়া to উইকিপিডিয়া. How do we do that, and also migrate the existing WP namespace pages there, without breaking anything? Thanks. --Ragib 21:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC) en:User:Ragib / bn:User:Ragib.[reply]

Check the localization page: m:MediaWiki localisation and follow the instructions there. You need to replace the corresponding namespace variable inside the LanguageBn.php file and submit again. Existing WP pages should be renamed automatically after the updated file goes live. --Dbl2010 05:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Commons request for a delinker tool running in every wiki

Since any of the currently 701 Wikimedia Foundation wikis can link to Wikimedia Commons, Commons contributors and administrators need to take care upon modifying or deleting files. Up to now, MediaWiki only provides the embedding of files, and not the necessary bidirectional cross project maintenance assistance. In order to overcome these severe technical flaws - each one challenging the Wikimedia Commons project as a whole - passionate "Commonists" simply wrote the missing tools themselves. One essential tool is a file delinker bot that needs to run in every Wikimedia wiki and it is unreasonable to await approval by 701 different Wikimedia wiki communities. They all use Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia Commons now needs to efficiently interact with them in return:

That for the administrators of Wikimedia Commons request to be exempt from local bot policies in order to run this bot.

Please read the full request with detailed information at Requests for permissions/CommonsDelinker and comment there.

Adding a new namespace to the Persian Wikisource

We need a new namespace in the Persian wikisource, corresponding the the "Author:" namespace in the English Wikisource. Would you please create such a namespace? The name of the namespace should be "مؤلف", a translation of "Author". Roozbeh 11:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ask in bugzilla:, only developers can help you on this. 555 04:45, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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.

jbo:User:sen → jbo:User:Sen

  • Current name: jbo:User:sen
  • Requested name: jbo:User:Sen
  • Reason: This is my account on the Lojban Wikipedia. I am currently unable to log in, because of the initial lower-case letter. Our local bureaucrat on jbo.wikipedia receives an error when attempting to move the account. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you. Nat Krause 00:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
