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.

Onegaborg@olo.wikipedia

I would like to apply for the permanent admininstrator status. I was administrator for 3 years in Livvi-Karelian Wikipedia. Onegaborg (talk) 09:47, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for one week until 9 October 2019. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:58, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2020-10-10. Unfortunately the low level of participation makes us unable to grant permanent adminship at this point. I've granted you adminship for a year instead. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:39, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

H78c67c@yuewiktionary

Either temporary or permanent is fine; and I forgot to make the request last week :(, please let me know if I need to initiate a local vote again.--H78c67c (talk) 15:08, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
H78c67c, yes, kindly initiate a local vote again, please. That is the standard process we follow. --Base (talk) 23:12, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Base: Thanks for your reply. Is there a particular threshold for getting permanent adminship? Thanks! --H78c67c (talk) 08:11, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
H78c67c, I am afraid that given the current activity in the project permanent adminship is not possible. That being said for temporary adminship it is okay if no one votes at all, also normally each subsequent temporary adminship is given for a longer period unless there are reasons not to do that. --Base (talk) 22:06, 5 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Base: I see. So obviously I could only get a temporary adminship, could I just leave a note in the community noticeboard (or relevant pages, just as I did a few weeks ago at wikt:yue:Special:Permalink/14742#管理員權限)? --H78c67c (talk) 03:37, 6 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.

H78c67c@yuewiktionary

Pending local vote just as with the admin flag. --Base (talk) 23:26, 4 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.

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.

आशीष भटनागर@hi.wikipedia

By our policy which can be seen in the given link (point no. 2) an administrator needs to have 180 edits in previous 6 months. The user here doesn't meet this requirement. User is notified of this.--Hindust@niक्या करें? बातें! 04:55, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Steward, This user is Oldest wikipedian and Created lots of Articles. His edit count is 1,00000+ so we do not want to lost this wikipedian. This user recently activeted on wiki and giving answer on his talk page at hindi wikipedia. Please give time to making edit. A request.--आर्यावर्त (talk) 10:52, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@आर्यावर्त: It is not about what user did in past. It is an accepted rule at hiwiki for the security and other uses. If you wish you can get a consent there and change the rule.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 14:59, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have been long old user at the project and aided a lot, not only in language text edition, but also in templates, portals, Main page, etc, etc. Since last year, I've been transferred to a remote place, Shillong airport, in North Eastern part of India, that too 35kms far from the main city having tremendous data network issues.

My family stays away at Delhi and I have to care or for my responsibilities towards them also from here. Apart from this, I've been busy in official projects been carried on here।

Due to above-mentioned reasons I found it difficult to spare time। But I promise that I will try to spare time if given a chance. I will not beg for a chance, but expect that simply not running after the self made rules, but caring to maintain a contributor, I may be given a chance to improve my time contribution.
-Ashish Bhatnagartalk 15:34, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Steward, I spoke to the user and requested him to be active in the hiwiki. The user has promised me that he will be activated from today itself. I request that this nomination be put on hold for some time and given time to them. Thanks.-आर्यावर्त (talk) 15:44, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
But *you are not the community*. What he personally said to you is no way is important. Everyone has busy life, if you can't give it time; don't force it. Rule is for the same thing.--Hindust@niक्या करें? बातें! 16:14, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The user has not maintained even 100 edits on main namespace on hiwiki in 8 months. Above mentioned rule says 180 edits in 6 months. A rule should be maintained by admin itself. However, if user will be able to maintain its contribution to satisfactory level then after 3 or 6 month's activity, adminship can easily be granted to him. He himself said he is facing time and connectivity issues. Is it a mandatory hat to keep? What's a big deal in it! We can be a proud volunteer without any such hat. Is'nt it? --अजीत कुमार तिवारी (talk) 17:24, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done Thanks for their service. ~ Nahid Talk 17:33, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@NahidSultan: Sir, as per this hindi village pump's discussion anyone not coming directly meta. First need to notify user and give two week time for make edit. If in this period 180 edit not done by user then admin can ask here to removing admin right.--आर्यावर्त (talk) 02:30, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

आर्यावर्त@hiwiki

In Hindi Wikipedia, some people are harassing other users and admins by forming teams. Some people had removed the user Ashish Bhatnagar from the flag bearer of the Hindi user group in violation of the rules and that was why he became inactive and his admin rights were also removed together. I am leaving the wiki, which is also bothering me.-आर्यावर्त (talk) 03:01, 10 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User Sigvid@svwiki

My admin-period runs out this month (however it's not set to "expire" by itself), and due to personal reasons I don't have much/any time for wiki at the moment. It's possible the sv-community wouldn't mind me keeping the admin rights, but by principle I don't want to have them if I don't expect to be active in a long time. Thanks. Sigvid (talk) 21:19, 10 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
