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:

 and also mistakes. Thank you.

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.

Raju Babu@bh.wikipedia

At present there are two permanent admins on bh.wikipedia, i.e. User:Eukesh ji, and me (SM7). Because Eukesh has not been active for a long time, we need a helping hand in admin related works. Raju Babu has previously been admin (even before myself) twice (last temporary duration for a whole year) and is a trusted user. As we are a very small community please don't expect a lot of votes. Kindly grant him permanent sysop rights. Thanks. --SM7--talk-- 20:01, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any issue or concern regarding this request? --SM7--talk-- 13:50, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I can only grant for 1 year. Ruslik (talk) 20:38, 22 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ruslik Ji, Last time he was granted with 1 year duration, but could not continue after expiration. That's why we were looking forward for permanent duration this time. Anyway, if only 1 year's duration is possible than that too will do. Thanks in advance. --SM7--talk-- 10:46, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SM7: I actually do see that he has been ever granted adminship on bhwiki in the past. Ruslik (talk) 20:27, 23 September 2018 (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.

@Ruslik0:, the request has been on hold for more than 2 weeks. Please take a decision, so that I can resume the js/css maintenance works again for bnwikisource. Thanks, -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 00:27, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that your adminship expired more than two years ago but was not removed. I have not still decided what to do. Ruslik (talk) 20:36, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Ruslik0:, I guess, that was due to some unintentional mistake from the part of the stewards, I also completely forgot from my side that I was granted temporary adminship, as I was not removed after 6 months. But the point is, community didn't object at all before and still is not objecting against continuing my adminship and granting the interface editor rights to me, that denotes they trust me. I would also like to let you know, that I am not hungry of these rights, as you can find in the archives, that I have resigned my admin rights from Bengali Wikipedia from my own. The interface-admin right is extremely necessary for small wiki projects like Bengali Wikisource, as all our maintenance works and feature enhancements have been stopped for last few weeks after the js/css editing rights have been stripped from the admins. My request is to take this into consideration and take decision as soon as possible. Thanks, -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 22:17, 25 September 2018 (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.

علاء@ar.wikinews

Per Wikinews Statistics, arwikinews is the 11th largest edition of Wikinews, with more than 7,330 content pages, more than 35 active users, 4 sysops, 17 bots, 32 rollbackers --Alaa :)..! 09:01, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know... there are four sysops, yes, but three of them have temporary admin rights at the moment. I feel this wiki is too small for local bureaucrats. Trijnsteltalk 12:49, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Trijnstel: we (arwikinews community) discussed about that, and we found that we need a local bureaucrat to deal with bots + admin interface issues, also some users mentioned that cswikinews (12th largest edition of Wikinews) and cawikinews (13th largest edition of Wikinews) have an active local bureaucrat. Also, "almost" all first 10 editions of Wikinews have at least one local bureaucrat. Finally, we opened this request based on arwikinews community opinions --Alaa :)..! 13:01, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done. 8 supports (3 of them have less than 100 edits and most of voters aren't active recently) and 3 local admins (2 of them temporary). Active community isn't enough big to have a local bureaucrat for now. Matiia (talk) 16:51, 16 September 2018 (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.

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

Leaderboard@enwikibooks

As a sysop, I already have the standard import interface (transwiki import) where I can import from other en wikis. However, I need the importupload permission as well. This is because I often need to import from non-English projects (such as fr.wikibooks, for which the standard import option isn't available), and occasionally handle complex import cases for which the standard import facility does not suffice. Please let me know if this isn't possible. Thanks. Leaderboard (talk) 13:51, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Have you considered adding projects such as frwikibooks to your wiki's import sources (requires a short community discussion + request at phabricator)? In any case, you will need to provide a link to a community discussion prior to being granted any further user rights by stewards. Kind regards, --Vogone (talk) 14:00, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Vogone: No; in any case, it's difficult to predict from which languages import may be required from. As for the community discussion, while I can certainly do it, is it really required?
