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 requirement 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.

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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

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

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: 

 and also mistakes. Thank you.

Administrator access

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.

We would like to request permanent admin access for user Pcastellina. His acceptance of my nomination of him can be found in this edit: [3]. Thanks in advance! :) --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 10:24, 15 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Only temporal access is warranted under these circumstances. Ruslik (talk) 18:38, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please be more specific about what these circumstances mean? Also, this page isn't very clear on when permanent admin access is to be granted. I recall another page was more clear about this, but it doesn't seem to be linked from here. --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 09:28, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

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

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.

Whaledad@nlwiki

Status:    Done

Whaledad has been appointed as checkuser by the Dutch Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee. Whaledad recently signed the non-confidentiality agreement this has been processed by the WMF. Please grant him the checkuser tools, subscribe him to the relevant mailing lists, IRC-channel etc. Many thanks for processing this request. On behalf of the Dutch Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee. Natuur12 (talk) 22:45, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rights granted. Doing the other stuff. RadiX∞ 02:30, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Checkuser was literally granted to someone whom can't tell a person performing a global rename from a spammer - with active calls for their resignation on meta. What exactly are the criteria on nlwiki? SQLQuery me! 03:01, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Please ask them locally. This section is not meant for lengthy discussions. Thanks. RadiX∞ 03:40, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@RadiX: I've already approached Whaledad for that; he's now subscribed to the list and added to the wiki (irc will follow). Trijnsteltalk 12:19, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

HVL@ptwiki

Status:    On hold

HVL was elected for a one-year term as CheckUser at Portuguese Wikipedia. He has not yet signed the Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. Thanks. Érico (talk) 09:37, 30 June 2018 (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 —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

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

  • 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.

Dicionarista@pt.wiktionary

Status:    Done

According to the latest change in our administrador inactivity policy, any admin who makes less than 50 (fifty) edits in the last 2 (two) years loses their adminship. Dicionarista made his last edit in 3 March 2013 (more than five years ago), so his access has to be removed. We thank them for their service. Thanks. Defender (talk) 17:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks for their past service. RadiX∞ 12:37, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yann@guwiki

Status:    Done

This user has hardly ever contributed in gu.wiki. Since I have been granted sysop rights in 2008, I and other sysops have always managed it. We all have local knowledge of the language. User:Yann has in this instance agreed to this removal request and has resigned stating Hi, I resign as admin here. I can't be everywhere. Regards, Yann (ચર્ચા) ૧૫:૦૨, ૨૮ જૂન ૨૦૧૮ (IST) on the discussion page.DhavalTalk 13:51, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I believe he has gotten these rights while he was a steward long ago. Anyway, now removed. Trijnsteltalk 14:31, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Trijnstel for such a quick action.--DhavalTalk 15:23, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
