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-stewards^connect 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.

Using this page[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

See Administrator for information about this user group.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.

MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.

Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin^connect.

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.

Status: Not done

Bernardo Botto (talk) 21:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You currently have 12 edits on the project, most of them were made in December last year, and none between then and June this year (when the discussion was posted). I would want to seek a second opinion from another steward before granting this.

On hold until then.EPIC (talk) 21:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@EPIC: I understand completely. The wiki doesn't have any active administrators, so I requested the tool to perform administrative tasks. I know the pillars of Wikivoyage and i'm ready to work, so that's why I consider myself qualified. I'm also an autoreviewer and rollbacker editor on portuguese wikipedia. If necessary, temporary access can also be assigned. Bernardo Botto (talk) 21:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrative tasks can usually be done by a global sysop when the wiki has no administrators. It's also common to be active on a project to get an idea of what tasks need to be done before becoming an administrator. Not saying that's how it always has to be, nor am I a steward. Just figured I would throw in my two cents. Ternera (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ternera: Thx for your comment. I'm always looking at the project to see the problems of it, i know the problems of the project, and there's a lot, like, A LOT. How i said, a temporal role can be assigned too. Bernardo Botto (talk) 16:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the stewards came to the conclusion not to grant due to some factors, mainly due to low experience on the project. Thank you for volunteering, and feel free to reapply once more experience on the wiki has been gained. EPIC (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion: here

Per policy for three months, I think. Thanks, Wüstenspringmaus _talk 09:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Two questions; one, do you understand the language of the project, and two, what will you need adminship for, also considering most of your edits were made recently? Thanks, EPIC (talk) 09:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EPIC, thank you for your questions. 1) Yes, I understand Latin (I forgot to add a babel to my userpage) and 2) With admin rights I mainly would translate/change some pages in MediaWiki-namespaces to Latin, for example [1] or [2], which I've also linked there. I would also delete some unuseful redirects. And yes, I haven't been active in the project that long, but I think I can still help as an administrator there. Regards, Wüstenspringmaus _talk 09:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your explanation, I will check with some others and come back in a while. EPIC (talk) 11:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've now been supported by a trusted user of the community now, see [3]. Wüstenspringmaus _talk 09:33, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, enough for me.

Granted for 3 months to expire on 2024-10-13. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks.

(I didn't get much response when bringing it up with the others but there were no explicit objections either so I think we are fine here, since there is also a supporter now) EPIC (talk) 10:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion: here

hello, after I waited seven days for the administrator's rights request on Suwiki but no one visited it. I have previously made a previous request here but it was not granted for the reason that it is unfortunately too old in our standards at this point . the same as today's requests, as before, they are neglected and untouched, I will work there, such as editing mediawiki or importing and so on, which prompted me to ask for administrator rights because, for example, I want to move here to here but restricted. I hope my request can be understood and granted. Thanks 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 01:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The local bureaucrat has edited the wiki since I last contacted them, therefore I will email them again and come back here in a week if there has been no response by then. EPIC (talk) 01:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have also contacted the bureaucrat kumincir but did not respond when he was active [4]

Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-07-13. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. EPIC (talk) 18:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access[edit]

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

If you need to accomplish a one-time, non-recurring task, please request your task at Steward requests/Miscellaneous.

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.

(I request interface adminship for a period of 12 months to carry out some techincal tasks.Thanks) Ishanjyotibora (talk) 11:19, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ishanjyotibora: I think you are searching for SRP. This page is for local adminship requests. --TenWhile6 11:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On hold until 20 July 2024. I moved this request to SRP; Meta:Requests for adminship is meant for requesting local rights at Meta. EPIC (talk) 11:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access[edit]

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[edit]

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.

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.

When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list. Subscription to checkuser-l will be handled by list owners. Make sure new users contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacy^connect and #wikimedia-checkuser^connect.

Oversight access[edit]

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-stewards^connect 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 .

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.

When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

Miscellaneous requests[edit]

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

Removal of access[edit]

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.
