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 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: 

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

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.

ToniSant@mtwikipedia

Status:    On hold

This request is for mt.wikipedia only but I'm also requesting interface adminship. I am not requesting to be an administrator on any other project at this point. This is a bone fide emergency request to ensure that mt.wikipedia rebuilds a basic core of active administrators. --ToniSant (talk) 15:02, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I fully endorse User:ToniSant to become an administrator on mt.wikipedia. --Leli Forte (talk) 15:32, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion should happen in a local venue, not Meta.--GZWDer (talk) 20:03, 6 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your input GZWer. As stated above, local discussion has gone as far as it can and this is why we've put in this Steward request. Please note that the only bureaucrat on mt.wikipedia has not been active for almost 2 years and is not responding to direct communication from the only active administrator on this project. The endorsement here is indeed from this sole active administrator and is not meant to further the discussion but to request Steward action in what we consider to be an emergency. We are attempting to revive a project which desperately needs a new basic core of active administrators; any project that has just one active administrator is not sustainable. --ToniSant (talk) 08:39, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I miss a link to a discussion that happened directly at mt.wikipedia. Could you link that? --Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:32, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, of course, @Martin Urbanec:. Thank you for requesting this clarification. Here's the link to the local discussion. --ToniSant (talk) 13:02, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold The discussion started on April 07, and is scheduled to end on April 14. On hold until April 14. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:05, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The local discussion has now ended, with six supporting and none objecting. --ToniSant (talk) 16:08, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info. I'm inclined to way a week or so, to give local bureaucrat the chance to properly close that before we step in. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:35, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Martin Urbanec:, we are obviously more than happy to follow the formal process as needed. However, please allow me to point out that the only bureaucrat on mt.wikipedia has not been active since 18 July 2018. The only active administrator on mt.wikipedia has tried to reach out (since 29 March 2020) to this sole bureaucrat for mt.wikipedia off-wiki but it appears that he is either not responsive or unreachable. If we must wait another week, so be it. Our local off-wiki discussions, and some on-wiki exchanges indicate that we're most probably simply delaying the inevitable at this point. --ToniSant (talk) 09:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

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

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.

अनिरुद्ध कुमार@hi.wikisource

Status:    In progress

For development of Hindi Wikisource user need a permanent Bureaucrat right. User is suitable for this.In domain he has got seventeen votes including two admin in his favour without any oppose. अनिरुद्ध कुमार is very experienced user with adminship on Hindi wikipedia, Hindi Wikibooks and Hindi Wikisource also. He has interface admin right on same domain. His positive contribution will be beneficial for the development of domain with Bureaucrat right. so please grant him Bureaucrat right.--नीलम (talk) 07:19, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment List of editcounts of the voters is available at [1]. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I guess you're suspecting sockpuppetry? -- CptViraj (📧) 12:20, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
i'm not suspecting anything, I'm just posting the number of edits of voters - that's all :-). --Martin Urbanec (talk) 22:08, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Leli Forte@mtwikipedia

Status:    Not done

Leli Forte (talk) 10:21, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done I don't think that's necessary. If your wiki will loose a bureaucrat under AAR, the stewards will automatically become able to handle all requests themselves, without any delays - as it is clear no one can handle that locally. We prefer that instead of adding bureaucrats to quite small wikis. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 08:41, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Callanecc@en.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Please restore CheckUser. Thanks. :-) Katietalk 18:16, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. @Trijnstel and RadiX: for the additional stuff. —Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 18:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Trijnsteltalk 20:09, 15 April 2020 (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.

User Averater@sv.wikibooks

Status:    On hold

Local policy states that sysop rights shall be removed if a user is inactive for a year. Mentioned user has been inactive for 3 years. I've notified both the community and the user. Minorax (talk) 06:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Policy seems to mandate the user needs to have a month to reply. The user was notified on March 26, which means this isn't actionable until April 26. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 08:31, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dmitrismirnov@en.wikisource

Status:    Done
Fix. --Minorax (talk) 06:23, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

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
