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.

सत्यम् मिश्र@hi.wikipedia

Got consensus only for 3 months. Most of the sysop on hiwiki are inactive in this time, so this right should be granted to him.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Manojkhurana@hi.wikipedia

User wants these rights only for 3 months time. Most of the sysop on hiwiki are inactive in this time, so this right should be granted to him. ☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

sanjeev bot@hi.wikipedia

Bot user user:संजीव कुमार is also admin on hi.wikipedia and for some adminbot related work, I am asking for admin rights also for "sanjeev bot" on hiwiki. ☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will you need adminbot rights indefinitely or only for a set number of months? MBisanz talk 11:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have much experience about it. So, it is up to you weather you are going to grant me these rights for a limited period or a long period. So, if you will grant for a year that would be better. I will ask our community after one year again.☆★Sanjeev Kumar (talk) 15:42, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Min.neel@ckb.wikipedia

Our Wiki used to have 3 admins but now we lack even one active admnin, then we, the active members, tried to hold an election and choose three new admins. You can see the my election results here. My regards. Min.neel (talk) 16:07, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Permanent access, since that's what the other two (barely active) admins have. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:03, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

kushared@ckb.wikipedia

our wiki day after day grow beside that we haven't any active administrator to control the wiki, because of that reason I request to be an administrator. So you can see in the discussion page, there is 7 supporting vote, no against vote and 1 abstention vote {in 14 days}. thanks > Kushared (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Permanent access, since that's what the other two (barely active) admins have. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:03, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sorenhk@da.wikiquote

I ask for an extension of my administrator rights on the wiki. My current rights udøber 4 May 2015. I applied for an extension April 11, 2015. --Sorenhk (talk) 18:16, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2015-10-23. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pirehelokan@ckb.wikipedia

Unfortunately, the admins of our small Wiki have not been active since mid March. As a result, we decided to elect three new admins in Sorani Wikipedia to have enough redundancy. It is really appreciated, if you could give me admin access. By the way I was elected by the users of Sorani Wikipedia. Best regards, Pirehelokan (talk) 18:33, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. (8/0) Ajraddatz (talk) 18:38, 23 April 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.

User Ibrahim@tg.wikipedia

Hello, I have been the only administrator of Tajik Wikipedia for the past of several years. Several local administrator access requests remained unanswered and I would like to request bureaucrat access to respond to administrator access requests locally to some active users. Ibrahimjon (talk) 06:31, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment Please do not refuse this request. It is very important for the local project (tg.wiki). I and other members have repeatedly faced with the problem of obtaining the status of the bot and administrator. He is the only administrator who a few years continuously monitors the project so as not to break the rules. Optional: to improve the quality of the project, please add statuses - autoeditor, closer, editor, rollbacker. Thanking you in advance--AryanSogd 08:50, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I put this onhold for a week till 25 April 2015, but it is unlikely that this bureaucrat access request will be granted – the community is too small. If the project needs more administrators, you can make requests here after a community discussion. If you want to create local usergroups like autoeditor, closer, editor or rollbacker you should apply at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org after reaching a consensus during community discussion. Ruslik (talk) 17:46, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • For information apply to a different status thanks. On account of the status of a bureaucrat, we really need. We had a bureaucrat, but unfortunately his two years there was on the project and its removed this status. He was an Englishman and did not know our language. User Ibrahimjon (talk) continuously monitors for several years. In order to develop our society, we need a bureaucrat whose Tajik language is native. Who is familiar with the shortcomings of our project and we have a lot of, because we do not have the necessary tools to solve problems. Most users do not speak English, they will contact you to obtain the status? I communicate with you to use Google translator from Russian into English. If the stewards refused, they just demoralize project tg.wiki. Finally, many active and competent users go forever, because there is no chance of getting the necessary tools for work. Thank you--AryanSogd 18:54, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Your English is good; if TgWiki has a successful local admin discuss, you can be the designated person to post it here. The project is too small for local bureaucrats at this time. -- Avi (talk) 16:26, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's useless. Here, discussion at the local wiki. Here, general mockery, as if I have ask medal. To us need tools to facilitate the work. Supposing Ibrahimjon (talk) to get bureaucrat status, we do not have every time contact you (not comfortable). For us the status of a tool for work, not a reward for military valor. Thank you.--AryanSogd 06:20, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Domas Mituzas@dewiki

The user user:midom was sysadmin for wmf and therefore in the global group "sysadmin". Due to a user name conflict for the account midom@dewiki he created a second account Domas Mituzas and granted the account the sysop user group on dewiki to do sysadmin work on dewiki. Since yesterday the local user account midom@dewiki is renamed and midom@global can now use his global account also on dewiki to do sysadmin task (but he is no longer in the global sysadmin group). Please remove the sysop flag from midom's second account Domas Mituzas. He is no elected sysop on dewiki (Listed under de:Wikipedia:Liste der Administratoren#Andere Sonderfunktionsträger mit Adminbefugnissen - "other officials with admin flag"). Thanks.

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
