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. Minimum voting requirement are listed here.

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 this is for multiple users, leave this field blank and give a list of these users 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.

7elteven@nawikipedia

Status:    On hold

There is no any active administrators in Nauruan Wikipedia, so I can be one. I'm learning Nauruan language for about 1 year and I've been active here since November 2020. 7elteven (talk) 07:58, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@7elteven: Hello! Can you start a local discussion about your promotion, and link it here? Thanks! Putting this  On hold until discussion finishes. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:39, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: done that. --7elteven (talk) 12:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That sounds to be a new page, which doesn't sound to be linked anywhere? Can you link it from a community portal, a village pump, or similar? Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:10, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: done that --7elteven (talk) 12:42, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slaia@niawiktionary

Status:    In progress

I am requesting adminship for all admin-related tasks on Nias Wiktionary after my administrator access ends on 12 Feb. Glad to see that a lot of progress has been done, but still a lot to do. Slaia (talk) 08:56, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This could probably be granted together with #Yasanto Lase@niawiktionary above. Ping Base. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:12, 13 February 2021 (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.

Đức Anh@vi.wikibooks

Status:    In progress

I am an administrator in Vietnamese Wikibooks. I need interface administrator for 1-2 week to fix some bugs. I need urgently. Đức Anh (talk) 08:10, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Đức Anh: Not a steward, but you will need a link to discussion for interface admin, plus 2FA. Leaderboard (talk) 12:50, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Actually if they need it very urgently, and there isn't any time for discussion (i.e. time sensitive), they can post on SRM for a steward / GS to implement. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Đức Anh: As said above. There is currently no community discussion linked. We can't just promote people, we need to be sure the community is actually fine with the assignment. If you need just a few fixes done, feel free to request it at SRM, where it can be done by a steward or global sysop. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:44, 13 February 2021 (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.

David Wadie Fisher-Freberg@id.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

The community of Indonesian Wikipedia has agreed to give David Wadie Fisher-Freberg the status of oversight (bahasa Indonesia: pengawas). Regards. Medelam (talk) 01:32, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold pending on the candidate's signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions) and Wikimedia Foundation confirmation of the same. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:02, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Per above, I have signed both general and OTRS agreements. Please re-check. Thanks. dwf² ✉ 12:11, 13 February 2021 (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.

Фильтр злоупотреблений@ttwiki

Status:    Not done

--Ilnur efende (talk) 09:43, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(non steward comment) This is the abuse filter, which has sysop rights due to the system. --ZabeMath (talk) 09:46, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ilnur efende: Hello. As @ZabeMath said, the account is a system user used by the AbuseFilter. It gets sysop permissions automatically. While I can remove them, the system will regrant sysop permissions to the account again at a later date (is this still the case Daimona Eaytoy?) Best regards. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:07, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@MarcoAurelio: The user would only be resysopped if 1) "block" is enabled on ttwiki, or 2) we'll need the account to perform some maintenance. However, 1) doesn't seem to be likely (given that there are no filters on ttwiki), and there are no maintenance tasks to do at this time. That said, the relevant task is T212268. --Daimona Eaytoy (talk) 13:10, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done No need to desysop a system account. Best, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Xqt@dewiki

Xqt has been elected Bürokrat on dewiki on 13. February 2019. He has to start a re-election after two Years. He did not start a re-election so please remove his rights. Thx --Itti (talk) 19:40, 14 February 2021 (UTC) (Bürokrat on dewiki)[reply]

Status:    Done

Kolyma has been inactive for more than six months and was notified of the removal a month ago. Per local policy, please remove their sysop flag. Thanks. Stang 05:42, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions
