This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Temporary permissions | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

Using this page

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request (or other means of confirming that the request has approval), and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Thank you. ~~~~

The project names are coded as follows:

  • Enter "wiki" for Wikipedia after the language code.
  • Enter "wiktionary" for Wiktionary after the language code.
  • Enter "wikibooks" for Wikibooks after the language code.
  • Enter "wikinews" for Wikinews after the language code.
  • Enter "wikiquote" for Wikiquote after the language code.
  • Enter "wikisource" for Wikisource after the language code, but enter "sourceswiki" for the Multilingual Wikisource without a language code.
  • Enter "wikiversity" for Wikiversity after the language code.
  • Enter "commonswiki" for Wikimedia Commons without a language code.
  • Enter "specieswiki" for Wikispecies without a language code.

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

sithu015@my.wikipedia

I request sysop access.

Sithu015 11:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, no local voting, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 12:02, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evertype@my.wikipedia

I request Administrator access for User:Evertype (a.k.a. Michael Everson) on Burmese Wikipedia.

Thankyou. --Jose77 04:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done:3+ : 1- one of the supporters has only that vote as contribution. sorry, but that is not enough to gain permanent adminship, he might be able to ask for a temporary status. If he wants that he should do so in the section below. thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 12:07, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Filipinayzd and Ringer @bcl.wikipedia

I request Administrator access for User:Filipinayzd and User:Ringer on Bikol Wikipedia, perhaps the only project with more than 700 articles that has no Admin.

Thankyou. --Filipinayzd 13:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Ahonc@uk.wiktionary

I request bureaucrat access.

Please contact the local crat, he seems to be not totally inactive, last edit 30.june. Consider mailing him, which is mostly fastest. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 12:16, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. 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@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

Stewards: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here. You should add the difflink of your local confirmation edit to the request.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept 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 very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request. 

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request removal of access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision-->
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Personne@lawikisource

I request the removal of all access from our old crat, who has not been active for months. A new crat has being elected, and no objections raised during a separate discussion to remove access from the old crat.

Thank you. John Vandenberg 14:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gardowmir@plwiki

Access to be removed per private local ArbCom decision.

  • Language Code:pl
  • Local Confirmation/Request Link: None, this was discussed privately.
  • Local User Page: pl:Wikipedysta:Grotesque

This is per private discussion, his adminship was to be suspended for now. Kabeldemanns 20:44, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done
Until and unless there's a confirmation link on the relevant Arbcom page.

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation. If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Multilingual speedy deletions.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. 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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the list of sysops and bureaucrats, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request. 

====Username@language-code project-name====
I request temporary sysop access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''List of local sysops:''' [[xx:Special:Listadmins]]
*'''List of local bureaucrats:''' [[xx:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat]]
*'''Local Request Link:''' [[xx:Example]]
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]
*'''Preferred duration and reason:''' 
Thank you. ~~~~

Huji@fa Wikisource

I request temporary sysop access on Fa Wikisource to help this now big wiki with some technical issues (CSS, JS, etc). I already have sysop access on many wikis including Meta, Fa Wiktionary, Simple English Wikipedia, etc.

Thank you. Huji 13:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Three admins, one is a bureaucrat:
Kaveh, bureaucrat, active 6 July 2008. contribs
Mardetanha, admin, active 6 July 2008. contribs
Pedram.salehpoor, admin, active 6 July 2008. contribs
If the local community agrees to the temporary adminship, the local bureaucrat should perform the promotion and inform the stewards as to when the temporary adminship expires, here. Stewards do not grant rights where there is a local community able to grant that right, see Steward policies. Kylu 22:49, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, local crat seems active, please contact him, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 12:10, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Kassad@ugwiki

I request temporary sysop access to clean up the backlog of mostly images which have been moved to Commons, and phase II remains which cannot be tagged for speedy deletion.

  • Language Code: ug
  • List of local sysops: ug:Special:Listadmins (only admin is inactive, last edit January '08)
  • List of local bureaucrats: ug:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat (zero)
  • Local Request Link: no community
  • Local User Page: ug:User:Prince Kassad (doesn't exist since my account is global, if that poses a problem call back)
  • Preferred duration and reason: two or three days are enough

Thank you. -- Prince Kassad 20:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The userpage doesn't exist, but the user does (You have a user# there), so it shouldn't be a problem. Kylu 00:11, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Status set, please let us know when You don't need it anymore (don't archive this request yet). Thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 12:14, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mww113@wuuwiki

I request temporary sysop access.

  • Language Code: wuu
  • List of local sysops: wuu:Special:Listadmins
  • List of local bureaucrats: wuu:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
  • Preferred duration and reason: I hate to make a second request but all of the current sysops are inactive and there are oh so many copyvios in the image space. I would like access for 1 week to clean this up. Whilst I don't speak the language, with a translator and common sence, I can understand what I am doing.

Thank you. Mww113 13:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, I can't find the inactive sysops, please contact them, they are by far not inacitve [4], [5], [6] (see also the log entries), thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 13:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
  • Please make sure you have your accounts renamed before merging them.

Requests for global permissions (please don't add requests yet)

This section is only for users that are unified and on the list of GlobalUsers.
ATTENTION: Please don't add requests yet.
