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.

User Paputx@ca.wikibooks[edit]

Status:    In progress

See the previous request and its linked voting; it would be preferable a long extension of the admin rights (at least 1-2 years). Thank you in advance, Xavi Dengra (MESSAGES) 09:41, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

-Zest@zh.wikiquote[edit]

Wintereu@ro.wikivoyage[edit]

Status:    In progress

Following two previous grants of sysop rights, I hereby apply again, after a period of inactivity, for maintenance activities mainly due to multiple vandalisms I've noticed in the last period. The discussion I started (see the link above) is also translated in English. Thanks, Wintereu 01:42, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

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.

For permanent interface adminship, please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary interface adminship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

WAN233@zh-classical.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    On hold

per community discuss WAN233 (talk) 00:17, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

@WAN233: Please, enable 2FA. Ruslik (talk) 20:48, 15 June 2019 (UTC)
@Ruslik0:Done.--WAN233 (talk) 00:20, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

User Τυχαίος Χρήστης@el.wiktionary[edit]

Status:    On hold

Please give admin access to el:wikt:User:Τυχαίος Χρήστης following the discussion (2019.04.21.-2019.05.16.), the result of which is unanimously in favour of the user becoming an admin. (The longest section of the discussion was how to reach our bureaucrat Lou who has been contacted but is absent.) Thank you. --Sarri.greek (talk) 12:14, 13 June 2019 (UTC) --Sarri.greek@en.wiktionary (talk)

Xiplus@zh.wikiquote[edit]

Status:    In progress

Request for extending interface-admin rights. Thanks. Xiplus (talk) 11:32, 15 June 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.

Turkmen@az.wikisource[edit]

Status:    In progress

25/0/0 thanks --Araz Yaquboglu (talk) 16:40, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Some of these users have very low edit counts on azwikisource. Stewards might want to take a closer look at this one. --Rschen7754 18:15, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

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.

MIKHEIL@ka.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    In progress

According to local policy If an administrator within 3 months doesn't make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting. In last three-month periods he has not made the required 500 edits; see 25 February—25 May (483 total). In Georgian Wikipedia, Bureaucrats can't remove sysop rights, and therefore I apply to stewards on Meta-Wiki. Best regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 19:54, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

@გიო ოქრო: Should the bureaucrat right be removed as well? Ruslik (talk) 08:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
@Ruslik0: No, because that rule don't includes bureaucrat right. გიო ოქრო (talk) 09:10, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
@გიო ოქრო: Bureaucrats override admins for they can grant people admins. Chances are that once a steward removes the admin access of MIKHEIL, it could be soon granted by MIKHEIL themselves. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 09:29, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
@Super Wang: Yes, there are. But I think MIKHEIL will not do it. I just apply you about the administrator right. Do it as you decide. გიო ოქრო (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

According to the local rules, sysop status from MIKHEIL must be removed without discussion and vote, only by the stewards of Meta-Wiki; discussion on local level and decision of the local community is no longer needed (This is written in the rule — „If an administrator within 3 months does not make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting (automatically)“). He is not an active editor. He made 483 edits in three months (from which 70-80% was Usertalk) and he has not made the required edits. Local rules don't say that I don't have the right for request on meta-wiki, especially that the Georgian bureaucrats can't remove sysop rights. @Super Wang, Ruslik0, -revi, and Tegel: and other stewards, please summarize that issue and make a decision. Best regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 20:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

@გიო ოქრო:It may be disappointing, but far from your prediction, I am not a steward. Sorry for being unable to assist you. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 23:25, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Just to show an identical case, the rules of pt.wiki also allow a user to be a bureaucrat, but not an sysop (and there we also have bureaucrats who are not sysops). A few years ago I asked for the removal of only my sysop rights and the request was done without further delay. Érico (talk) 21:49, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

But it was your own request. Ruslik (talk) 13:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
Yes... I am not discussing the merit of this request, but only stating that it is natural to have wikis in which a user can be a bureaucrat but not sysop. Érico (talk) 16:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Regiomontanus@de.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    In progress

Regiomontanus canceled his re-election, so please remove his adminflag. Best regards, Luke081515 12:00, 16 June 2019 (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
