This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. Please check the sidebar to the right to see whether your request belongs better elsewhere. Specifically, bot requests, requests for CheckUser information and global rights requests belong on their respective pages.

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).

Interface translations are done at translatewiki. Please do not request administrator access for that purpose; your request will be declined.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (web client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help. Otherwise, you can use @steward to gain attention if the channel is quiet.

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    =
 |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 identity[edit]

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Requests[edit]

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

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access[edit]

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for removal of access belong in another section. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be done at the translatewiki.net instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Steward requests/Miscellaneous.

Stewards
Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; please use {{Systmp}} for temporary permission. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
Archiving
Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.

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

OrsolyaVirág@wm2014[edit]

Status:    Locally handled

Hi,

I would like to ask for a sysop flag @ Wikimania 2014 for administrative reasons. I am one of the deputy program chairs of the event and I would like to delete and protect some pages, especially that the sudmission time will end in 5 weeks. James Forrester couldn't help me with this since he only has a sysop flag there. Pls grant the access as soon as possible.

I would also like to ask the same permission for the other deputy chair, Deror avi. (He asked me privately to request this on behalf of him.)

Thank you in advance! --OrsolyaVirág (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Please request that right locally to one of the bureaucrats (list bureaucrats). Especially Rock drum is active with adding rights recently. Trijnsteltalk 19:31, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

عبیربٹ@ks.wikipedia.org[edit]

Status:    Not done

There doesn't seem to be much activity on Kashmiri Wikipedia. I would like admin permissions so that I can improve it. I am trying to get people to translate article into Kashmiri language. I use ubaierbhat as the User:Ubaierbhat for the english wikipedia. Thanks عبیربٹ (talk) 14:04, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

 Not done. Dear عبیربٹ, thanks for your interest in helping out at the Kashmiri Wikipedia. However, you don't seem to be active on that project yourself: you've performed five edits on that wiki in November 2012 and there haven't been any contributions since. Furthermore, from my point of view, it remains unclear why you'd need admin permissions. You can also contribute (edit, translate, et cetera) without additional user rights. If needed, you can ask global sysops and stewards for administrator help on the Kashmiri Wikipedia. Mathonius (talk) 14:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. I understand what you are saying. The site is very confusing. The problem is that the current admins have not been active for this wiki for a long time (2010). There are not many people who can read or write Kashmiri. Its mostly a spoken language. Even I am not very good at it. There are no proper tools to write Kashmiri on a computer. I thought as an admin I will take some ownership of the project and maybe work towards bringing more people to help. I have tried to go to local university but old folks there are not intersted. They don't know how to use computes. Thank you for your advice about global sysops and stewards عبیربٹ (talk) 05:27, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
As a side note, admins who are inactive for over 2 years will be removed soon through m:AAR. --Rschen7754 05:28, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

phurbutsering@bo.wikipedia.org[edit]

Status:    On hold

bo.wikipedia.org got problem with its font, its interface and articles display very small, I thought it need change, which suit with tibetan wikipedia and its own characteristics, many other language wikipedia, even some small language community wikipedia got their own common.css, which suit with their own font, and special features. if we don't improve that interface, Specially left side menu and right top menu, many people are asking about it again and again. also many people lost interest with contributing articles and file on our local wikipedia. I prepare few page for help as: https://bo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Questions but still look small with coding big font. I am just applying for few weeks permission, so that i can improve few basic error in tibetan wikipedia. if possible we need help from some technical people, who can active on tibetan wikipedia.
At now its very difficult to find who can worthy as admin, we need to improve many template and box. normally i was working on translating wiki, tibetan portal. but i found its not meaningful till interface error are solve and make few new interesting template, also its very lack with discussion, because of lack with admin, who can organize and setup few groups, there is no good information for new comer. I am trying send them personally message, but lack of authorization, i can't do. i thought to ask you for advice on how to setup some basic information for new comer, many new comer lost interest here, lack of proper tutorial and help. for example i visit there at dz.wikipedia.org, which is dzongka wikipedia, they share same font as us, but their interface looking much more perfect than us, because of bigger font. actually our main page got more information than them. also this tibetan wikipedia main page was design by me and i know it lacking lot with comparing other wikipedia, so i hope you can give me any suggestion and advice regarding improving interface and visual design,

Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton@pt.wikinews[edit]

Status:    In progress

Hello, it's been a week since I opened the discussion, but this community is abandoned, for now. I made several requests to unlock pages that are outdated or unnecessarily blocked, and I was not heeded. There will be an increase in the volume of issues in the coming days because of a project, that I'm running, to assemble original materials on Wikinews-pt. And there is no Lusophone administrator taking care of the community today, you can see the spam deletions reports [3] Category speedy deletation and the complete lack of actualization, discussion, answers... So I need a sysop tool to update some Help pages blocked, remove spams, lock publish pages (normal to the WN), etc... As you can see, I'm ´practically the only guy doing something in the community, for this days. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 10:41, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

@Stewards: please, see my comment on request at Wikinews. Érico Wouters msg 11:54, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Personal issues do not count as a argument, if you were competent in you work and was confident, I would not be here asking for the tools.
I'm a OTRS volunteer since 2009 and no one complained about my behaviour, the same in Commons that I'm away more active than in wp, that I'm a checker there...
He commented about Wikivoyage... well, I'm the guy who fight to pt-wy be on air, the only one...
I don't need sysop tools to, I don't know, talk with others (I think that's the main concern), I need the tools to raise (clean up, update, fix...) the community. And, look all blocks Teles, Teles, Teles... in WY on inexpedient sysop blocked me and he was reprimanded because of that, and the other was a request made by... yes, Teles, who is friend of the dude above. Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton m 12:21, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access[edit]

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
General note
There is an ongoing discussion regarding the minimum number of votes and overall participation to promote users to bureaucrat at Talk:Bureaucrat/2010-02#Minimum number of votes (see also this RFC). Users are encouraged to assist in the development of a policy that allows stewards to not decide on whether a promotion is valid or not. Thank you.

CheckUser access[edit]

To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-owner-at-lists.wikimedia.org so the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacy and #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access[edit]

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or, for requests regarding English Wikipedia email oversight-en-wp-at-wikipedia.org. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Oversight.

Removal of access[edit]

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global 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 status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person 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.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). Please post requests at the bottom of the section.

However, as the bureaucrats of a few wikis may remove users from the administrator or bureaucrat group, please see also a separate list of these specific wikis.

==== username@domain ====

 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->

There was a reason i didn't wait. Stewards were notified, and this is all i'm going to say. Matanya (talk) 10:38, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
As for advanced rights with privacy access, there is no need to wait, as it could've a rather good reason to request removal. Also he could've simply done it himself anyway. However, thanks for your past services! -Barras talk 10:52, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests[edit]

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.

Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages:
