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.

BeGasy@mgwikipedia

In absence of bureaucrats, and on behalf of mg:user:BeGasy, I hereby request the administrator status for BeGasy on the Malagasy Wikipedia. He originally made the request a week ago. Thanks in advance,--BeGasy (talk) 13:29, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear BeGasy, you were blocked indefinitely on Wikimedia Commons due to repeated uploading of non-free files and two times block evasion. Could you please give your side of the story. What happened? Do you have any intention of uploading files on mg.wikipedia? Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pxos@fiwikiversity

Three months is not enough for the gargantuan task. I know already that I need more time to sort things out using sysop tools at fi.wikiversity. Please extend the temporary adminship to last for six months from the original date (i.e. ending 28 May 2016) and remove the previous expiry date from SRAT. The local announcement has been open for more than a week now. --Pxos (talk) 22:39, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is almost five months until the expiration of your access. Please, make any extension request in May. Ruslik (talk) 18:08, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The reasoning is false. The rights will expire in February. The community does not oppose this, so this is not a call that a steward can make. I'm being bold and have reversed the "not done" status, because this is simply an idiotic decision. --Pxos (talk) 19:41, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Quote: "For temporary adminship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement." I have now realized that I need the right for at least six months as I'm the only active administrator and there are so much to do. I have also provided a link to the local announcement where I have informed the community about my wish to extend the period. --Pxos (talk) 20:03, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You initial post was confusing - it was not clear what the date 28 May meant, although I do not want to call it "idiotic". Anyway it is a relatively long time until you temporal adminship expires, so, please, apply when it is close to the expiration. Ruslik (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I simply cannot see the point in this "please apply later" thing. I have originally made a personal error of judgment, where I thought that three months would be sufficient. I asked the rights for three months and told the local community that I would like to be your man for 3 months. Now I have come to the conclusion that I have made an error in the amount of work that is ahead of me, and I have already told the community that I would like to keep the rights for six months. As I have reached the conclusion and met all the requirements, which I won't repeat here, I have decided to ask that the rights be kept for six months altogether. Now for some unwritten rule a single steward forces me to wait for 40 days, and only then can I make another request and perhaps make another announcement to the community. Please tell me where the policy is written that governs this procedure. --Pxos (talk) 20:18, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 28 February 2016. Ruslik (talk) 08:09, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, this doesn't make any sense. I hereby withdraw the application altogether. Feel free to mark this as "not done" so that it won't appear here unnecessarily for almost two months. --Pxos (talk) 21:22, 8 January 2016 (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.

Arifys@map-bms.wikipedia

(Why I make this request? because I wanted to check out the new user who abuses his or her account and duplicate accounts. In map-bmswp my own, and no bureaucrat, but I am active at there. ) Thanks Arifys (talk) 15:18, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Arifys, you need two candidates and a large community that supports you, before making a request for access here. Please read CheckUser policy#Appointing local Checkusers. If you have a specific request for a checkuser on map-bms.wikipedia, you can ask a steward to do this at Steward requests/Checkuser. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 15:27, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Users who did not sign confidentiality agreement

Status:    On hold

For the record: I sent an email about this to the stewards mailing list and listing here for the record and for tracking purposes. These are users who have not signed the Confidentiality agreement required by the new Access to nonpublic information policy and are, therefore, no longer eligible to hold Checkuser or Oversight rights. There are a couple people who I have asked the Stewards to wait briefly while I try to work on them. Jalexander--WMF 02:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Five requests on hold. The rest was done by Jyothis. - Taketa (talk) 10:20, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that when the rights from Bawolff (enwikinews OS), Kamix (fawiki OS) and พุทธามาตย์ (thwiki CU) are removed, the following rights also need to be removed until a new CU/OS has been elected or until the aforementioned users signed the confidentiality agreement:
*ظهیری (talkeditslogsUserRightsactivityCentralAuthemailverify 2FA) (oversight)
There always need to be at least two checkusers and/or oversighters for mutual accountability per CU/OS policy. Trijnsteltalk 12:04, 2 January 2016 (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
