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: 

 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.

Three support, two oppose. I am not sure that there exists a consensus to grant you even a temporal adminship. Ruslik (talk) 17:33, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The request since 1 March. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 19:36, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this request for temporary one permanent ? please read my comments below Mardetanha talk 22:18, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mardetanha: As I saw he not mention that in his request, but in wikinews community we prefer permanent -if can- because there is no administrators there! Thanks--Alaa :)..! 22:41, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Again as I said before we can not grant permanent access for small projects Mardetanha talk 08:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mardetanha: okay for 6 month please, because User:Tarawneh wanna to work in subproject to develop arwikinews. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 15:14, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

باسم@arwikiquote

Status:    Not done

The Permanent admins there inactive (one of them since more than 2 year and the other since 10 month), so we need a permanent admin there. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 20:03, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ala for small projects we don't grant permanent adminship, you have to ask for temporary one Mardetanha talk 22:15, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mardetanha: Yeah I knew, but there is 2 inactive permanent admins there! so I think we can make باسم permanent like them!? and if I wanna ask about temporary for 1 years, I must open a new discussion there or just change the request here?! Thanks--Alaa :)..! 22:45, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have no issue with temporary access, but it is better to start from shorter periods like 3 month Mardetanha talk 08:46, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not done @Mardetanha: okay, thanks for clarification, I prefer to give 6 month (between 3 month and 1 year), I'll request here again after 7 days, Thanks again--Alaa :)..! 15:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks--Alaa :)..! 22:01, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ala, like your above request, for small projects we don't grant permanent adminship, you have to ask for temporary one. I also suggest, have the page open at least for two weeks in your wiki and then request here Mardetanha talk 22:17, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not done I'll request here again after 7 days. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 15:20, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2017-09-20. -- Stryn (talk) 15:53, 20 March 2017 (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.


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.

Status:    Not done

You may wish to consider the above two "bundled" together for convenience or separate them if you think it's necessary. Since Oversight needs two users and we had two nominations, then it seems like it may be helpful to consider the requests together.

We both passed our nominations with no objection but there were less than 25 votes—although they were close and there was ample opportunity for input from users. Note that both Dan and I have successful CheckUser status at species and so have also been identified to the WMF, are members in good standing, etc. (A third CheckUser was also promoted at the same time on that wiki but did not seek Oversight.) We have tried to make the site more self-sustaining and so requesting advanced user rights rather than seek Stewards whenever something that is internal to the project happens is useful for us. I hope that you'll use your discretion to find us suitable candidates with enough trust from the community. @Dan Koehl:. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:21, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Stewards have no leeway in this regard. Your requests were already marked as unsuccessful by a local bureaucrat. --MF-W 21:31, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Is this backed up by an inactivity policy? --MF-W 09:51, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I dont know, but inactivity policy near 2 years. He has been inactive since 19.09.2014. Xarpêtıj (talk) 13:06, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A request for removal has been opened on diq.wiki. Are there any local policies regulating these type of requests? Savhñ 15:16, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
AAR will hit the project shortly so unless this is covered by a local inactivity policy or consensus is achieved meanwhile I'd suggest to close this as not done and wait either for us for AAR or for the consensus. —MarcoAurelio 10:28, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rillke @ Wikimedia Commons

Due to our inactivity policy (criterion #2), I hereby request the removal of administrator rights from the account of Rillke on Commons. They have been listed in the current inactivity run and failed to indicate their willingness to retain their Commons adminship within the period of 30 days. Thank you. odder (talk) 09:10, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done, translation admin rights left, but those can be taken care of locally in case it's required. Regards, —MarcoAurelio 12:05, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    In progress

User Ciphers inactive since in ar.wikiquote since 8 May 2015! so please remove the adminship flag. Thanks--Alaa :)..! 20:11, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On which policy is this based? --MF-W 21:32, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MF-Warburg: in ar.wikipedia policy because there is no local policy in ar.wikiqoute and most (or all) of things there depends (some pages there mention that also) on ar.wikipedia ploicy! Thanks--Alaa :)..! 19:46, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Overlegpaginabeheer voor Flow@nl.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

Please remove "Flowbot" userright from nl.wikipedia user "Overlegpaginabeheer voor Flow". Local bot account for Flow. Replaced by the current global bot. No longer used. No reason to leave an out of use account with added userrights. Moreover, as it has no userpage, it does not comply with local and global bot policy. See the feedback by a member of the Flow Collaboration team, no objection to removal [3]. I have already removed the regular bot flag. Please remove the "Flowbot" flag. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 15:05, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I would remove it if I would know how... I did the same on November 2016 for the duplicate flow bot on fiwiki per phab:T121420, but strangely I can't find the "Flow bot" user right anymore from the user rights page. If someone else knows how to remove the rights please do it. Stryn (talk) 16:06, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Stryn: It is on the local user rights page [4]. Since you cannot see it, I assume you need to give yourself local steward rights to remove it? Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 16:53, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Martorell@ca.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Sysop and bureaucrat inactive for more than one year. User was notified one month ago with no reply. --Vriullop (talk) 19:03, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Savhñ 19:10, 20 March 2017 (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

Importer on test.Wikipedia and test2.Wikipedia

Status:    In progress
Status:    In progress

I am importer of it.wikiversity and administrator of it.wikiversity beta.wikiversity test.wikipedia and test2.wikipedia. I would need the flag of test.Wikipedia and test2.Wikipedia to do various tests with the use of the XML file import tool for it.wikiversity to practice some import duties and to have sufficient practice to request the flag Importer on new wikis in the future to help out at communities who want to open a new wiki and finished the incubation stage (in particular new wikiversity). I ask the flag in both test wiki to test import with the various extensions installed, especially with: Extension Translate (test.Wikipedia) and Extension Education_Program (test2.Wikipedia). Thanks Samuele2002 (Talk!) 22:11, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On test wiki you should probably request the import right locally and then come here if there is a consensus. Ruslik (talk) 19:10, 13 March 2017 (UTC) On test2wiki the page is test2wiki:Wikipedia:Administrators_and_bureaucrats. Ruslik (talk) 19:16, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thank you I had not made the request to them because they still need the intervention of a steward and considering they are the test wiki I have not made the request there, but I do now. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 22:46, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Before you play around with the translation tool on even more wikis, you should maybe fix this. Also, if by "the flag Importer on new wikis" you mean that one I think about, testing something with the Translate and Education Program extensions will be of no help. --MF-W 10:09, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I re-explain better I need to flag impraticirmi with imports in general to be able to make the best use of the tool properly and it.Wikiversity. I should also testareg effects of an import them to pages that relate to the extension because of Education_Program it.Wikiversity we are considering to install the extension and would like to see if the import of pages of this extension imports the pages as the other, or has something different. Also I need to force the flag on test.Wikipedia translate extension of already translated pages because at this time the extent of test.Wikipedia has problems (I have already done so to report it on Phabricator) and whereas I am by installing the extension translate even on beta.Wikiversity I would need to do tests to import pages already translated from Meta-Wiki and I need to test this thing without the risk of doing damage on beta.Wikiversity. sorry if my English is not good </ small> --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 15:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What does "impraticirmi" and "testareg" mean? --MF-W 20:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment I believe that a consensus in this situation is unnecessary. These are not community wikis or content, they are test wikis and therefore there is no risk that any significant damage can be caused with the permits. The user that requests them is well established in several projects and I believe that I do not see any problem in granting them (at least temporarily). At some point when I asked them to also request a test wiki, I was not asked for a community consensus as it is being done here. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 16:52, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, significant damage can be caused with this group even on testwiki. --MF-W 20:48, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed - you can really mess things rather badly with importupload. —MarcoAurelio 21:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But I have no intention of doing damage. I know how the importupload and I have already used this feature many times on it.wikiversity so I do not run the risk of doing damage And if I had to do some damage I could still delete massively imported pages. And then the amount of pages that put them in a subpage user:Samuele2002/test import so as to avoid possible problems. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 22:29, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
