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:

==== Username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Thank you! --Thuvack (talk) 09:38, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

On hold until 24.02.2012. Ruslik (talk) 10:51, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-08-24. 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.Bencmq (talk) 05:09, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ciphers@ar.wikinews

Hello. I was granted a temporary access twice, but i would like to request a permanent access to keep maintaining the site. The local request page is above. Apparently, no one voted there. Thanks in advance. Ciphers (talk) 05:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please post a local notice about the extension of your adminship. You will be granted a longer period, but we will still not be able to give you permanent status until the community is big enough. Bencmq (talk) 07:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply. The local notice can be found here. Thank you. --Ciphers (talk) 02:15, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

තඹරු විජේසේකර@siwikipedia

Community vote had been completed by 04:21, 22 February 2012 as the vote was closed by user:බිඟුවා who is the administrator proposed the candidate. The result had been declared by user:බිඟුවා as 7/6/0. Yet there are concerns by other users and administrators. [1] and [2]. In the second reference, which is the candidate's user page the administrator who proposed the candidate and closed the vote suggests that the vote tally should be 6/4/0. In the first reference, another administrator suggests that the tally should be 5/4/0. The dispute is about accounts of certain voters which had been made minutes before they have voted and/or certain voters who have had minimal interaction with the Wikipedia and abstained from Wikipedia for a long time and appeared just for voting. The administrator user:බිඟුවා had provided the option to the candidate to forward the result to Meta. Neither the candidate nor the administrator user:බිඟුවා had done this up to this moment and the issue is in a stalemate position. Considering the above, your ruling and decision is sought please. ---ශ්වෙත (talk) 06:24, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was just creating the req & got conflict with your edit. Thank you ශ්වෙත you have done it. -- බිඟුවා සාකච්ඡාව 06:41, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I suppose that there is no local requirement for voting to these elections. You should probably set up some rules to prevent such things to happend. However, I've tried to find out what's wrong with votes, and those that come from accounts that have just been created won't be counted. Here is the result of my investigation :
  • The following contributors have supported, and there is no doubt they come from the community : බිඟුවා, Budhajeewa, උපුල්, අනංගයා
  • Same for the following opponents : සමන්, ශ්වෙත, Singhalawap, Cwijayakoon
  • සෝරෝ has only six contributions, even if his account was created on July 2010
  • Sashen, පද්මා හතරසිංහ, Tailung81 and සරත් have been created the day they voted
Accounts were created to vote, but on both sides. Anyway, if we don't count them we are at 4/4 and if we count all votes we are at 7/6. Both ways there is clearly no consensus to give this user sysop access right now. Sorry, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 09:06, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for helping us. ---ශ්වෙත (talk) 09:14, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Хомелка@be.wiktionary

Good day, I ask to give me a temporary administrator's status for the term is about 3 months. I am an administrator in the be.wikipedia is about 1.5 years, also endorsed my candidacy for the status of the administrator and bureaucrat to being created now be.wikisource. The status of the administrator in be.wictionary will become a logical continuation of my work for the development of Belarusian-language sector of Wikimedia projects. Since the activity of the project is very low, in fact it is almost absent, then spend the discussion is not possible. Хомелка (talk) 10:04, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Did you put a notification on bewiktionary that you want to be sysop for 3 months ? -- Quentinv57 (talk) 10:22, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Postrach@cs.wikipedia

Postrach has enough community support to be given checkuser access (pre-agreed threshold of at least 25 support votes and at least 4:1 support:oppose ratio has been reached). Tchoř 01:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This 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

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>


Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

Juandev@cs.wikiversity

Upon the community consensus (4 agree ("souhlas, souhlasím"), 1 disagree ("nesouhlasím")) I would like to ask for importer's rights on cs.wv. I would like to help with importing pages from wikies, for which transwiki import is not enabled. Juandev (talk) 08:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. How long do you need them ? It would probably be better to grant transwiki import rights and to ask at Bugzilla for the import sources to be changed. -- Quentinv57 (talk) 08:38, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, until problems are resolved, which could take quite a long time (especially when importing from non WMF projects) So transwiki import is not a solution. --Juandev (talk) 09:02, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done Please let us know when it's done. Regards, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 09:16, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OH, yes.--Juandev (talk) 09:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was asked to review this, and after reading the objections, I've decided to remove it. Furthermore two/four of the support comments were from new accounts, so there is no apparent consensus. PeterSymonds (talk) 09:10, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Peter. -- Quentinv57 (talk) 10:24, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
