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.

Ehime@gan.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

Some articles and templates need to be cleaned up, but the two sysops are inactive for a long period of time, and there is only one temporary sysop. I request for four weeks to cleanup. Thanks. --Ehime«…» 11:46, 15 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 22 December 2018 —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:24, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I shall note as well that gan:Wikipedia:申請做管理員 appears to be the place where adminship candidacies happen, and that the wiki has local active administrators. While this is not a barrier to request adminship, given that there seems to be a community there you should follow the community practices to request such access. Thank you for your understanding. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:27, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MarcoAurelio: Please note that the local community is no longer active, and the only active administrator is also a temporary one. If RfA is still a must, please inform me.--Ehime«…» 14:44, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
For Temp adminship, local announcement should be made at appropriate places. I would prefer it to be the same place where the community members hold their elections. Anyways could you please answer Roy17's question. Also Please explain how this is spam?.-Shanmugamp7 (talk) 16:31, 25 December 2018 (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.

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.

Saxum@hrwiki

Status:    In progress

Per consensus of the community, removal of sysop access. Kubura (talk) 21:54, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A heads-up for the stewards: this is a repeat of a previous attempt to remove Denny, Joy and Dalibor Bosits, done in the same way and for the same reason, once again in absence of a local inactivity policy. GregorB (talk) 11:46, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A heads-up for the stewards: this is the community decision. The consensual decision. 15:1, cca 94%. Compare m:AAR, AAR is adopted with cca 71%; hrwiki consensus is stronger. Hrwiki voting had 16 voters (6 million of speakers of Croatian), Meta's AAR had 96 voters (worldwide population). The user that complaints in the line above has not voted nor commented at all on that debate/voting. The three users mentioned above were continuously inactive on hr.wiki even after that community's voting and discussion on the matter. Having inactivity policy or not, hr.wiki community has decided. AAR regulates when the stewards remove the tools. It does not regulate the local community's decision on removing someone's tools. The stewards remove the rights to inactive power users according to AAR. Hr.wiki has improved method: hrwiki also decides on the case-by-case basis, in order to solve the situation of those hyperinactive power users that are gaming the system (and AAR) with "one edit in two years and then disappear for the next two years" and so on several times. Kubura (talk) 03:04, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Long story short: everything is the same here as it was in the earlier Denny-Joy-Dalibor Bosits request, which was not done. GregorB (talk) 13:07, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Barras@simplewiki

Status:    Done

Barras has had less than 100 edits/logs in the last year so has lost his admin access per simple:Wikipedia:Inactive administrators and as per local policy you must be an admin to be an oversighter so could we get his OS bit removed. Thanks. -Djsasso (talk) 13:58, 1 January 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

importer for Ankry@pl.wikisource

Status:    Done

As a yearly maintenance job we would like to transfer from mul.ws to pl.ws the content that just became PD-old-70. As this is about 500 pages (Page and main namespaces), this is hard to do without the importupload permission. So I am requesting here for importer rights in plwikisource. Just for few days is OK. Community notified of the request. BTW, if somebody wishes to do the job using their steward rights instead, you are also welcome. Ankry (talk) 09:51, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done for 1 week. Ruslik (talk) 17:30, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. And the job done already. So my importer bit can be cleared. Ankry (talk) 02:18, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --MF-W 16:33, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
