This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Temporary permissions | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

  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= 
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
  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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
    • '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

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 receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

Kimkha@viwikisource

Status:    In progress

Kimkha has the support of basically the entire (logged-in) community at the Vietnamese Wikisource and has been active in establishing article guidelines for the project. Our only permanent sysop has been missing-in-action for over a year. Thank you. Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By current standards, 3 votes are not enough for permanent sysop status. We'd be glad to grant temporary sysop status for say, 3 months, at first. --FiliP × 08:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

Shijualex@Malayalam Wikisource

Status:    In progress

--Jacob 02:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had some trouble deciphering which section of the discussion page was the 'crat election, I am sorry to say. Can someone give me some pointers to the section I should check? Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 02:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Translation added. --Jacob 18:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Jacob. This wiki appears to only have 3 sysops: [1] and it already has one 'crat: [2] although Peringz appears not to be active for a while now... at least 2 of the 10 supporters of Shijualex appear to have supported Shijualex as their only contribution to this wiki. This wiki may not yet be active enough for another local 'crat. Let me consult with my fellow stewards (or they could also comment here). Sorry for the delay. ++Lar: t/c 21:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
First, ml.wikisource is an active wikisource. I believe this page doesn't offer a true comparison of the level of activity due to the issue cited here. Still, it is among the top 30 Wikisources when ranked by total no. of pages in wiki. Second, Malayalam wikipedia has the 3rd largest depth among wikipedias that have at least 1000 articles. Considering the level of "activity" (including the level of vandalism — to prevent which I bug you folks in IRC), I feel Malayalam Wiki projects have been quite conservative in granting sysop status; wikisource is no exception. Wikisource doesn't need as many sysops as a wikipedia needs - due to lesser need for maintainance. Third we need an active bureaucrat.
Not to divert the focus of discussion, but just FYI, each of those voters with lesser contributions are active in ml.wikipedia. You may confirm their activity using SUL Tool. --Jacob 02:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Very helpful clarification. Let me consult further. Again, sorry for the delay. ++Lar: t/c 14:44, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. 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 regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. 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-ownerlists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

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 Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the request).

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept 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 very 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). 

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

Ginosbot@all projects

Status:    In progress

Thank you! Ginosal 22:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions or emergency or technical access

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the BetaWiki project 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 Multilingual speedy deletions.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. 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.

Sinan@az.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Thank you! 213.172.69.26 10:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

moved to temporary access - request - section. Hello, the community seems to small to grant permanent sysopship for now (I guess that is what You are requesting?), so I am suggesting a temporary period for 3 months, which is technically the same and can be prolonged. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Progress report? Please let us know how You decide, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I think he should get a permanent sysop rights otherwise we can not improve the size and quality of Azeri Turkish wiktionary. I am planning to help him to make some changes in the wiktionary but he can not make changes in mediawiki or other pages. --Saltinbas 06:53, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I very badly know English language. I know azerbaijani,russian,turkish languages well . Simply except me there are no active participants. I wish to see here other participants. I will make all for improvement.--Sinan--213.172.69.26 08:47, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sinan if you need to tell some thing and can't tell in english . write it in azeri or Turkish i will translate it --Mardetanha talk 09:02, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mənə yardım etmək istədiyiniz üçün sizə təşəkkür edirəm. Mən azəri dilindəki vikilüğətin daha baxımlı olması üçün çalışıram. Azəri türkcesi ilə Türkiyə türkcəsi bir-birinə yaxındır. Nəzərə alsaq ki, türk vikisözlüyü daha irəli seviyyədədir.Azəri vikilüğətinin türk vikisözlüyündən öyrənəcəyi cox işlər var. Azəri vikisözlüyü ilkin mərhələdə olduğu üşün şablonlara ehtiyac var.Şablonlar vaxta qənaət etmək üçün lazımdır.İdarəçilərin olmamsı səbəbinbən bu işlər çox aşağı səviyyədədir.İlkin mərhələdə idarəçinin və yaxud idarəçilərin olması işlərin daha sürətli və keyfiyyətli irəliləməsi üçün lazımdır.--213.172.69.26 09:59, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, as said, the temporary sysop is the same as permanent one, except he has to confirm it here after three months, this just a quality control because the community is very small... he has 3 votes in favor (one of them is from an IP) and 1 vote in contra... I'd say this is not enough, other views welcome.
P.S. You said he wanted to edit MediaWiki-messges, I hope he is not planning to translate the interface there because this should only be done on betawiki: (where he would be very welcomed, if he wanted to help).
Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 13:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. We will only change or edit if necessary.--Saltinbas 19:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
