Revision as of 12:25, 11 September 2015

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. 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-stewards^connect 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

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 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]]"). 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.

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

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

Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin^connect.

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.

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.

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.

When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, notify listowners checkuser-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacy^connect and #wikimedia-checkuser^connect.

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-stewards^connect 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 .

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.

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.

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T111847

Status: In progress

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
User: Kaare (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

Per Global renamers#Removal_of_access. Right not used for +1 year. Steinsplitter (talk) 12:02, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. —Marco Aurelio 17:33, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I used my access back in March of this year when there was some sort of big event involving user account renaming. Since then it's been difficult for me to find accounts to rename, especially since I wanted to focus on Danish ones. - Kaare (talk) 17:52, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your global rename log shows 0 renames since you were given access. Best regards. —Marco Aurelio 17:58, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then the log is incomplete. On dawiki I see four of my renames (but there were many more). - Kaare (talk) 18:14, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You used the local Special:RenameUser page (but this page should be disabled by default)? If yes, then they are local but not global renames. Best --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:20, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also did a bunch of renames on elwiki as witnessed by my contributions there (resulting page moves). In inclusion, don't trust the global rename log, at least not for entries from back then. - Kaare (talk) 18:21, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed: Special:GlobalRenameQueue/request/3902/view. I think that they won't be seen in the logs because they didn't have an account on Meta, would it be? --Stryn (talk) 18:25, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename log will be created even if there is no account on meta. --Steinsplitter (talk) 18:34, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, that would not matter. The global rename log should be triggered, and we've now discovered a pretty serious bug where, or things were not logged, or if logged they've dissapeared. Sorry Kaare, I'm regranting you the rights and reporting this straight to Phabricator. Will do a review for all accounts below too. —Marco Aurelio 18:36, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Marco. If anyone still want proof of my participation this year, check the mailing list or even IRC backlogs. - Kaare (talk) 18:40, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

For all those interested I've reported this issue at phab:T111847. —Marco Aurelio 18:46, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
