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 the position. Requests for removal of access belong in another section. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be done at the BetaWiki project instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Steward requests/Speedy deletions.

Stewards
Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; copy granted requests to the appropriate section there, stating the date of removal in the section header and at the bottom of the request. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
Archiving
Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.

For permanent sysopship please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary sysopship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

Hello, because of my bad English, I'll speak in English and Spanish: This is my third time I am temporarily administrator in the Basque wiktionary, and the 25th of this month it will expire. So I ask again to be, and this time if it could be forever, not temporary. And not cast a vote because birdy told me not to lack, and that made it in more times. Greetings --Bengoa (My user talk) 13:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, debido a mi mal ingles, hablaré en inglés y español: Esta es mi tercera vez que soy temporalmente administrador en en wiktionary vasco, y el 25 de este mes se me expirará. Por eso pido volver a serlo, y esta vez si se pudiera para siempre y no temporalmente. No e echo una votación porque me dijo birdy que no hacia falta, ya que la había hecho varias veces. Saludos --Bengoa (My user talk) 13:07, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, Bengoa, I can read Spanish but I'm less confident writing it, so I'll reply to your Spanish comments in English, if I may. (Si lo prefiere, puedo tratar de traducir mis comentarios.)
According to our usual policy, we only grant permanent rights after the community has voted. I can't think of any exceptions to this rule. I'm not sure why Spacebirdy told you this was not necessary (note to others reading this: 'no hacia falta' -> 'there was no need') - I'll leave her a note, but she is very busy off the wiki these days, so I don't know how fast she will reply. When you say "la había hecho varias veces" do you mean that there have been several elections already, or that Birdy has given permanent adminship without elections several times?
I would, of course, be glad to give you another six months of temporary adminship, or you can hold an election at euwiktionary to get permanent adminship. — Dan | talk 21:10, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards
When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-owner@lists.wikimedia.org so the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted
Ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia.
Note that this section is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by stewards.
Stewards
Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Oversight.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global 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; the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion. In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). 



==== username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = 
 |user name =  
 |discussion= <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
}}

He/she does/did not have edit activities for three months since 13:38, 13 October 2009 (UTC). According to de-sysop policy of ja.wikiprdia, I request to remove his/her sysop access. Thank you.--Web comic 05:24, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think that you should wait for more community input before going through with this request. Razorflame 17:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.

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

Comments in vi.wi about vote

Hello everyone.

My name is vi:Thành viên:*khi người ta trẻ*.Now, here there ( Vietnamese) is a vote which I think it is not reasonable. According to sysop vi:Apple, “it will turn the wrong thing into the right thing”. Personally, I think that we only vote when the boundary of “acceptable things and unacceptable ones” can die after the vote. Concretely, “there is no clear boundary between the right and the wrong”. After carefully read the reports , I see that this vote cannot stand for this. It’s because among the problems raised to discuss have been set in the Vietnam’s regulative documents (the problem here is the rule documents of Vietnam about this issue have many weak points that make people misunderstand and they will express by different ways). Above is my brief opinions, if this issue belongs to your competence, I hope that you will willing to give your ideas. My English is not very good, so you can contact with our sysops to understand more clearly, specially, them members like vi:Thành viên:Mxn, vi:Thành viên:DHN, vi:Thành viên:Vietbio *khi người ta trẻ* 14:24, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
