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.

D'AroemenenZullenNiVergaan@[roa-]rup.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

I parsed a couple of PD Aromanian dictionaries, so I will be importing massively content over here. I'm going to need Administrator access for that, to be able to delete files if anything goes wrong, set up main page and protect it, etc. D'AroemenenZullenNiVergaan (talk) 02:58, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sushilmishra@hif.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

I have been making pages on hif.wikipedia for some time now, and i need to upload pictures and import templates on it. But since present admin is inactive and no local support, so i am requesting for adminship. I am an active user on hindi, punjabi, bhojpuri and maithali wikipedia too. Please consider my request. Tnx - Sushilmishra (talk) 06:05, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANBI@ps.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

Pashto Wikipedia needs an admin to make some setups in the Common.css, Main Page and some other admin related configurations. Currently the main Page is protected and only admins can make edits in it. I have been admin of Pashto Wikipedia since 2005 until recently all the admin-rights were taken back due to some disputes that I was not involved in. I now ask for the Permission of Admin and I will use my admin rights to bring back stability to psWiki. I have already proposed to the community to acquire a local policy where User blocks, page deletion and other sensitive issues are concerned.--ANBI (talk) 12:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please, make a local request first. --MF-W 12:57, 15 May 2015 (UTC) PS: I changed the protection of the Main Page to semi-protection, so that local users can edit it at all. --MF-W 12:59, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not done ps.wiki is still at risk of widespread sockpuppeting. --Vituzzu (talk) 16:29, 15 May 2015 (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.

Roshan014@it.wikipedia

Status:    Not done
Not done - Hi Roshan014, you are not an admin on the Italian Wikipedia, so the rights cannot be removed. You are however active on the English Wikipedia. You can read more about adminship at Wikipedia:Administrators. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 20:10, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zdenekk2@cs.wiktionary

Status:    Done

Please remove my sysop rights at cs.wiktionary. Thanks. --Zdenekk2 (talk) 20:10, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day as standard practice with self requests. Stryn (talk) 20:14, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold a bit longer. There is currently a massive attack of trolls on admins taking a place there, so obviously disgust comes along. Wikibreak for some time would be better solution... Thanks.
— Danny B. 20:44, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Danny B. just made a clear personal attack calling some contributors (he's in dispute with) trolls. Please do some measures to prevent this kind of personal attacks.

What actually happened: wikt:cs:Diskuse:blbá nálada Zdenekk2 asked a generally known term be verified - not because the entry needed a verification but because he wanted to make angry or provoke the author of the entry (myself). In the discussion I sarcastically said I understood he didn't know some generally known terms - it was not the first time he asked generally known terms be verified. But I agree I may have overreacted a little. In any case he responded with a personal attack on me - and it's not the first personal attack he made against me - he made at least 3 before and once blocked me and the block is by many regarded as too strong. Anyway, after this I asked him on his discussion page that he has his adminship confirmed. Several editors supported my request. It seems rather improbable that if he asked for the confirmation of his adminship he would pass - so resigning was a legitimite option. He deleted his userpage, discussion page with the proofs he was asked by several editors his adminship was confirmed and all the subpages of his userpage. However I hope the discussion page will be restored as deleting user's discussion pages is against site policy. --Auvajs (talk) 22:45, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I would leave this decission on Zdenekk2. Request of Danny B. is irrelevant and his statement is a lie.--Juandev (talk) 07:09, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Auvajs and Juandev. --Martin Kotačka (talk) 08:02, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Auvajs. Note that Zdenekk2 provoked asking generally known term be verified not only user Auvajs. Calling editors, who are in dispute with as trolls has no sense. --Kusurija (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • although living partly abroad - partly in Czechia, I participate quite often in Czech projects. Please take this seriously: the best the stewards can do is a CU check on the Czech Victionary. The actions there, including the pressure on Zdenek22 and others, that could be compared with virtual or cyber mobbing, produced an athmosphere of fear, so that I cannot write this here with my Czech account. Regards. Travelling editor (talk) 16:03, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Travelling editor, pressure on admin from some community members is a normal situation, if these community members do not agree with his/her actions. I cannot see any harassment on Czech Wiktionary right now. If you need any help, you can contact local admins e.g. by e-mail.--Juandev (talk) 21:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This request has been on hold for quite some time. There is no reason to hold it off any longer, therefore I have removed Zdenekk2's sysop rights as requested. Elfix 15:11, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Willtron@an.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

After asking this bureaucrat on 2015-03-25 with no answer and posting the discussion on 2015-04-24 with no other comment, please remove this bureaucrat with no edits after 2013-04-19 and no logged bureaucrat action after 2011-09-01. I am leaving the administrator flag until it is referred to admin activity review.Jusjih (talk) 01:33, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is so generous of you. --MF-W 15:03, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Comment From my experience if you don't leave a note on AN-WP they won't probably notice. But there they are active and is a small but working community. -- MarcoAurelio 23:17, 14 May 2015 (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

Milda@cs.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

Because of the current atmosphere of suspicion on Czech Wiktionary we have agreed to present the vote to the stewards without evaluating it locally. There are no written rules on voting eligibility, no agreed quorum, no agreed percentage needed for desysoping. As also some concerns about backstage influencing of stewards were raised and some users may feel something really important should be said to the stewards before the evaluation (e.g. accusations of sockpuppetry), please wait a day or two before evaluating so they have their chance to correct or supplement my summary. Tchoř (talk) 07:08, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I endorse Elfix's putting on hold this request. --Vituzzu (talk) 11:01, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. As a statement of fact, an admin at csWikt did post to stewards OTRS board (Ticket:2015050810001901) about the ability for stewards to close, and I provided an opinion that a community could request steward(s) to act as bureaucrats.  — billinghurst sDrewth 11:23, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also cs.wikt (and other cs projects, except cs.wiki) is suffering for an ongoing fight between two "factions". At a glance I'd say Milda did the right action, being the wrong person doing it for the right reason...this is what is generally called "a complete mess". --Vituzzu (talk) 16:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
