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:

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.

User:KRLS asked for a temporal administrator flag of 6 months, to make some technical stuff and get euwikisource completely ready. Theklan (talk) 08:48, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Our process is designed to handle one person per one section. Please split the section, to make it as one person per section. — regards, Revi 10:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed that for you. --MF-W 10:51, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Adam-Yourist@inh.wikipedia

Dear stewards, I would like to extend my adminship in inh.wikipedia. It is very necessary for me to continue working and improve ingush wiki. Thank you!

The link someone gave above doesn't exist. Stryn (talk) 13:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Try it now. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:49, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thx, Done Granted for 4 months to expire on 2018-10-05. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- Stryn (talk) 14:03, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Thanks! Adam-Yourist (talk)

Micael D.@ptwikinews

Renew of my sysop estatute. Micael D. (talk) 12:10, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2018-12-07. — regards, Revi 12:57, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OlegCinema@ruwikiquote

Status:    On hold

6 people supported, one against. The support level is 85% Bureaucrats in the community is inactive, so I write here. At the moment I am temporarily managing two projects, closer in ruwikipedia. --OlegCinema (talk) 23:30, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request page created 2018-06-03.  On hold until 2018-06-10. — regards, Revi 13:00, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: five votes in favor is enough to get a permanent flag? OlegCinema (talk) 05:17, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think so, but that's up to deciding steward. (That could be me, or someone else if I forget it.) — regards, Revi 09:02, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: In fact, active administrators are needed there, and I think 6 votes shows that the community needs an active and permanent administrator. For example, only today the project went a whole wave of vandalism (please check, by the way), and there are no active administrators and no one can do anything about it. --OlegCinema (talk) 11:06, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bloch khan@Ps.wikivoyage

Status:    Done

(Pashto Wikivoyage is new project i was working on the project in incubator from last 9 months and was the first and last administrator in incubator for Pashto Wikivoyage (test project), and I want to became administrator to make project bigger and better, the Pashto Wikivoyage was made today so I need to make some MediaWiki pages, and it's important to be administrator) Bloch khan (talk) 08:34, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are linking to Wikipedia. Please check your link. — regards, Revi 09:04, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Revi: if you are taking about discussion, then it's because I started the discussion before Wikivoyage was created :-) — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bloch khan (talk)

The problem was the ending dash. Fixed for future references. — regards, Revi 12:07, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 month to expire on 2018-07-08. I gave you temporary adminship for one month. Please have a real local discussion about the election of administrators after the wiki is imported. --MF-W 11:56, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ooswesthoesbes@pms.wikisource

Status:    In progress

Hi! I'd like to request temporary admin rights to help the community. Many imported templates require MediaWiki editing. I think one month would probably be more than enough. --OosWesThoesBes (talk) 15:03, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

إسلام@arwikiquote

Status:    In progress

Please, renew the sysop flag for 1 year. (Note: The user changed his user name from Omaislam to إسلام, so you can found the previous sysop flag in arwikiquote here) --Alaa :)..! 01:40, 9 June 2018 (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.

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.

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

Transwiki import for Pkbwcgs@simplewiktionary

Status:    Done

The importer tool will be used to import pages from [2] to Simple English Wiktionary where they are supposed to be. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:15, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thinking out loud: From the discussion the user seems to be requesting transwiki-importer. Updated the section title. — regards, Revi 18:00, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@-revi: Apologies, it was transwiki import I was referring to. Pkbwcgs (talk) 19:12, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pkbwcgs: What time period would you like the permission for? I could assign it for three months, if that would give you enough time. You could re-request after then if you still need it. – Ajraddatz (talk) 06:06, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: Three months should be fine. Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 06:39, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2018-09-05. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:28, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: Thanks. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:11, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
