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.

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 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.

  • 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.

T Cells@yo.wikipedia.org

Status:    In progress

Hello Stewards. I am User:T Cells from Yoruba Wikipedia and a serving temporary sysop there. This is the 3rd times I'd be serving as temporary sysop on Yoruba Wikipedia. I want it permanent now and my community as fully supported via my RfA here. Thank you. T CellsTalk 06:35, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you blocked in English Wikipedia? Ruslik (talk) 16:24, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ruslik0 can I respond via email? Regards. T CellsTalk 16:42, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Responding via email would remove the chance for other editors to either substantiate or contradict your claims. For purposes of transparency, I request stewards not accept this request to respond via email. Best, Vermont (talk) 16:46, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Better to respond here. Ruslik (talk) 19:02, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for your comment Vermont. I was subjected to recurring harassment during the case that led to my block on the English Wikipesia many of which were suppressed and at least one account was indefinitely blocked for harassment. This was documented on ArbCom's finding of fact. I don't want to experience such things again, this is why I requested to respond via email. I am sorry if my request gives you a different impression.

Ruslik0 I was blocked for various reasons including

  1. Use of sockpuppetry during my earliest time on Wikipedia.
  2. Including engaging in autobiographical editing
  3. I also gave an impression of self-promotion
  4. Introduction of many errors and copyvio text into articles written by me.
  5. upload of copyrighted photographs.

I completely agree with ArbCom's finding of fact and I believe they took the best decision for blocking me. I understood why I was blocked and I ensured that I don't engage in the same behavior that resulted in my block on the English Wikipedia. Its about 4 years now since I was blocked but I continue to contribute to other Wikimedia projects and I have since improved. Now I understand that copyright is a serious thing. I have uploaded hundreds of photos on Commons and none has been deleted for copyright violation. In fact most of my works on Commons focus on removing copyrighted contents from that project. Now I am fully aware that sockpuppetry is "forbidden". I have been blocked on the English Wikipedia for more than 3 years, I have never for one day edit it under any account or create a sock account to contribute. I have been serving as a sysop on Yoruba Wikipedia and I have never ever create any article about myself as I am fully aware that it's a " No-No". I have written over 250 articles on Yoruba Wikipedia, even though over 90% of it are translation from English to Yoruba, I know that under no circumstances should I or anyone introduce error or copyrighted text to articles.

Please let me know if I have not adequately answer your question. Regards. T CellsTalk 19:55, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Ruslik0 and Vermont: In case it helps: I'm an active user and sysop at Commons, and I can confirm that T Cells is a good standing and helpful member of that community. I understand he was banned at wiki.en some years ago due to a mix of newbie clumsiness and a misunderstanding over an English word that ultimately gave the impression of self-promotion. I believe he should ask that ban to be lifted, as IMO it's based on old venial sins of little importance, but keeps damaging his reputation like a curse. Though I don't follow T Cells activity at the Yoruba Wikipedia, I understand that no problem has been raised related to it, but only with the old wiki.en ban. I would like to add that it is great that Wikimedia committed editors like T Cells take an interest in developing Wikipedia projects like Yoruba, which are especially helpful in bringing aboard the Wikimedia projects until now underrepresented communities. Best,--- Darwin Ahoy! 00:02, 3 October 2019 (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.

Ananth subray@kn.wikisource

Status:    Done

Currently, we don't have Interface admins on Kannada Wikisource. Which is becoming a problem for all the community members to work on these projects. Because there is a need for many advanced Gadgets, CSS and JS files need to be added. As I am a Trusted, active user with a vast technical knowledge community has selected me to be an Interface admin. Hence I request you to give the rights to do the needful Ananth subray (talk) 07:03, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 30 September 2019 Ruslik (talk) 05:02, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As per community request, it will be good if you can provide permanent admin rights. --Ananth subray (talk) 17:43, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0:Please let me know if i need to anything else to fulfil the needs.   --Ananth subray (talk) 09:21, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done Ruslik (talk) 05:03, 2 October 2019 (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.

Kazimier Lachnovič@be-tarask.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

Hello. I would like to request that you give bureaucrat access to user Kazimier Lachnovič. --Ліцьвін (talk) 13:20, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The voting is required to take at least 2 weeks, minimum 5 votes, 50% approval threshold. In current voting 4 editors supported the nomination (including nominator) and 1 opposed. --Ліцьвін (talk) 13:48, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not done The threshold for bureaucrats is usually 15 votes or more. So, this request is not to be granted. Ruslik (talk) 16:27, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But we do not have such activity. We have our own rules. The procedure carried out agrees with these rules. Earlier, we had already elected a bureaucrat, and then there were only seven votes. And since then, activity has fallen markedly. The community needs a new local bureaucrat. --Ліцьвін (talk) 21:26, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That was long time ago and the practice has evolved since then. Ruslik (talk) 04:56, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good. So for our section you need 15 votes or more? --Ліцьвін (talk) 09:04, 2 October 2019 (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.

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.

5LZ@zh.wikiversity

Status:    Done

Ongoing on-and-off-site libels by some users from Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, on-and-off-site privacy leaks, my family commitments, and my B.Eng and other degrees. All of these reasons make me rethink of my future. I will have no time on Wikimedia from this month (Oct. 2019) on. So I'm giving up this permission and leave Wikimedia indefinitely. --云间守望 09:59, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please remove my Interface Admin right on zh.wikiversity and patroller right on Meta-wiki. I no longer need it. --云间守望 09:59, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The meta-wiki potion of this request has been completed locally. — xaosflux Talk 19:05, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done. — regards, Revi 15:23, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lionster@he.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Hi. Due to lack of time, Please remove my Sysop permission on Hebrew Wikipedia. Thanks. Lionster (talk) 07:35, 3 October 2019 (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
