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.

Tessla@ckbwikipedia

Status:    On hold

it's been two weeks since the RFA has started, 3 Supports with no Objection, overall five participants, Please Grant Permanent Administrator Rights for the successful candidate thanks. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 11:32, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

so far we got an objection and the translation would be: "in my opinion we don't need more admins for now". and i can say that we do need Tessla to fill in some necessary admin areas. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 23:23, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm kinda stuck here as two people speak in opposition of it in regards to not needing more administrators. I do see though that Sakura emad is willing to mentor the person. I think the discussion needs to continue to come to a resolution. -- Amanda (she/her) 18:54, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP: the only person that shows opposition is user:Épine, other than that user:haryad only recommends that we should not add more admins "because we don't need more admins as it's not benefits the project", clearly he is not opposed to more admins; but i as an administrator who patrols ckb wiki actively every single day knows what's the best for the project in the current situation; i say that we need more admins to fill in necessary gaps that the project needs, obviously as the day passes current admins cannot actively participate and carry out their duties and do what's best for the project in time, and the election past two weeks already; although the desired time is one week but i ended up delaying it; waiting for more users to participate; calculating what's the best for the project i supported the candidate to serve as an admin, thanks. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 20:34, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm definitely for promotion, don't get me wrong. I believe you when you say you need more admins. The thing is is opposition doesn't always come in opposes. and as a steward I have to take all feedback in. I'm not declining this, but looking for comments from my fellow stewards. -- Amanda (she/her) 20:58, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kambai Akau@kcgwikipedia

̀Hi. I have been an active admin in the Tyap Wikipedia since June 2022. I just discovered I could not delete some spam pages created in the Tyap Wikipedia, today. I would like to be made a permanent admin to continue to keep the Wikipedia in check. Thanks. Regards. Kambai Akau (talk) 11:58, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(non-Steward comment): @Kambai Akau there needs to be local discussion/vote about your adminship request, see the requirements above. You've only linked you local user talk page. Johannnes89 (talk) 14:01, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Johannnes89. I just opened a discussion in the community portal and linked it above. Thanks for the observation. Kambai Akau (talk) 18:23, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

̀Hello, I am the first and only admin of Fulfulde Wikipedia, I have been active as a temporary sysop since September, 2022.

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.

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

Mohanad Kh@arwikibooks

Status:    On hold

Temporary Importer, Needed for importing migrated wikibooks content from another sister project Mohanad Kh Talk 21:37, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment The Arabic Wikipedia community (which includes all active members of the Arabic Sister Projects at the time) agreed (on 17 January 2019) that any discussion/nomination/policy involving the Arabic Sister Projects should be brought up on this page, in order to notify the community, as there are no active communities on these projects. The policy states "Any discussion/nominations in sister projects must be announced in Sister project village pump, and any discussion that has not been announced on it, it's summary is unofficial". Since the announcement of this policy until now, all of discussion/nomination/policy it is announced in this village (Please see Archives). But I can't found any link of above nomination on previous mentioned village. (I'm commenting as a sysop in Arabic Wikibooks). Best --Alaa :)..! 10:42, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thx @Alaa for comment, I really respect that, but correct me if I'm wrong, this consensus will be mandatory, if it's approved and documented in these projects as mini-policy or guideline (or even as discussion consensus), which didn't happen actually, except that, it has no any consideration (Just an objective point-of-view ) --Mohanad Kh Talk 16:00, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Please, notify the community as suggested above and allow the discussion to run for a week. Ruslik (talk) 20:16, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0 I don't really understand, I already did that (I mean ar.wikibooks community), so that's actually weird and confusing. Let's suppose that the same users community have the same discussion on en.wikipedia, and they have agreed on the same consensus, but you have to notify them on some en.wikipedia page, should I do it there also? Is that a common thing? And all that happens without any policy or guideline terms on those projects?!Note To be honest with you, I don't really care about request as much as I care about answer to this question, cause it will change my view literally and make me thinking twice about developing sister projects --Mohanad Kh Talk 21:34, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I mean those users community agreed on some wikimedia space and that's enough, they don't need to document this consensus on every related project to be official. --Mohanad Kh Talk 22:10, 13 November 2022 (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.

Status:    Not done

User has no activity as of May 1, 2020 (see log), has been noticed on the talk page since October 6, 2022.

Global AAR occurs in January. -- Amanda (she/her) 18:33, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP Does that mean I have to wait until January 2023 to re-submit a removal request? Tryvix1509 (talk) 04:30, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It will get automatically handled at that time. No need to submit a request. -- Amanda (she/her) 04:39, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
