Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
< Steward requests
(Redirected from RfP)
Shortcut:
SRP

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. Minimum voting requirements are listed here.

Old sections are archived. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • 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.
  • All processed requests are automatically archived after 24 hours of no activity. Use {{PinSRP}} on a request section to prevent it from being archived, or {{ArchiveNowSRP}} to archive a request section as soon as possible.

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.

Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

[edit]

1. Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below: 

==== Username@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 this is for multiple users, leave this field blank and give a list of these users in your remarks.
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

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

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


==== User name@xxproject ====

  |user name  =

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.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Darafsh@fawikisource

[edit]
Status:    In progress

I am requesting the renewal of my adminship on Persian Wikisource. I have previously held this access for six months, then for one year, and this will be my third term. This time, I would like to request permanent adminship. Best Darafsh (talk) 10:17, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per MVR I don't think permanent adminship is possible given the community size. I'm aware that there's one local – inactive – admin who received permanent rights from a local cat in 2008, but that doesn't change the way stewards can grant permissions. We can go for two years this time (but we should wait two days in order to grant on the same day your current permissions expire). Johannnes89 (talk) 21:02, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89 Thanks. Two years is perfectly fine for me. Darafsh (talk) 10:22, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

咽頭べさ@mnw.wiktionary

[edit]
Status:    On hold

I respectfully request the renewal of my adminship tenure on Mon Wiktionary. Previously, I was granted this privilege for a one-year term. For this current request, I would respectfully like to ask for permanent adminship so that I can continually work on Mon literature. The reason for this is that I am currently the only person on Mon Wiktionary capable of writing dictionary translations for over 1,000 languages.--𝓓𝓻.𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓪|𝒯𝒶𝓁𝓀 14:44, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold MVR require 7 days of discussion, the request was posted just two days ago [1] --Johannnes89 (talk) 21:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also noting that we previously granted admin permissions for three and six months [2] – not one year – and that the community is way too small for permanent adminship. Johannnes89 (talk) 21:09, 12 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely apologize for the previous oversight regarding the duration of my adminship. It is true that my previous term was for six months, and I regret writing the incorrect duration. This mistake was not due to carelessness, but rather because my focus has been largely concentrated on other critical tasks for the advancement of Mon literature. If you deem a permanent adminship extension impossible, I respectfully request that you consider extending my adminship for a suitable term. This is crucial because I am currently the only contributor on Mon Wiktionary capable of handling many essential responsibilities, including writing translation dictionaries for over a thousand languages. My primary motivation for requesting a permanent adminship is to ensure the continuous preservation and maintenance of both Mon literature and Mon Wiktionary. However, if a permanent term is not feasible, I humbly and respectfully ask that you grant me an appropriate alternative duration. 𝓓𝓻.𝓘𝓷𝓽𝓸𝓫𝓮𝓼𝓪|𝒯𝒶𝓁𝓀 04:37, 13 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

[edit]

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Bureaucrat access

[edit]
See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

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.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Turkmen@azwikipedia

[edit]
Status:    On hold

This request should be kept until November 9, 2025 (for at least 2 checkusers) Sincerely, Qədir (talk) 08:23, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As per successful CU nom with 32 support votes and no oppose votes. Might need to be on hold until ANPDP signature comes through, though. //shb (t • c) 22:42, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending on the candidate's signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions) and Wikimedia Foundation confirmation of the same. EPIC (talk) 22:52, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have signed it. OhanaUnitedTalk page 14:44, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    On hold

Thanks.--Turkmen talk 09:00, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending on the candidate's signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions) and Wikimedia Foundation confirmation of the same --Johannnes89 (talk) 09:04, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I already signed it on 2024 but somehow they didn't add my username to IN. I sent an email to @JSutherland (WMF) and @NahidSultan (WMF) Nemoralis (talk) 09:07, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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

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, provide a link to the discussion, with 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.
  • To request the removal of another user's permissions for inactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policy Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.
