Steward requests/Permissions

Shortcut:
SRP

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-stewards^connect 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.

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".

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

local community is too small for a permanent sysopship; btw are interested in a temp flag?--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 10:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we are two administrators now. And when these two are absent, nobody can watch the project against vandalism etc. With three, the risks would be spread better, in our opinion. But for the holidays, a temporary flag til the end of September is something. --Pyt 10:09, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ok Done until 9 Sep 2008--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 11:49, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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]

He makes one edit per month. He did not provide email address in preferences.--Ahonc 18:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that makes him not inactive :S ... I believe I mailed him once, when I needed something, on wikipedia he has an email in his settings, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 19:20, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

wrong section, you're asking a temp sysopship, right?--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 10:02, 9 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.

Request For CheckUser Status In Azerbaijani Wikipedia

Following users have gained the on-wiki approval of our local community in az Wikipedia:

Please grant them local checkuser status in Azerbaijani WIkipedia.--Mehrdad 17:19, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that's not enough votes. You need to have at least 30 votes. --FiliP × 05:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Altough it might seem logical, I could see no such requirement here. Neither it existed when the vote was started. There is a genuine need for local checkusers to prevent periodic disruptions to the Azerbaijani wikipedia's work and going to meta each time is not effective. Therefore, the community has decided to elect local checkusers. Thank you. --TimBits 07:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprised by this voting too, never seen such for a cu. I wonder if the "change" of the policy here is official. I would say lets see what cary has to say about it. It is

On hold anyway as these persons have to identify to the foundation. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _(:> )=| ∇ 13:28, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On hold please provide to send your identification to the Foundation--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 12:23, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

This was not completed. The user is no longer active, and the community all agreed that the user should stand for re-election if they return. John Vandenberg 08:55, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This has been archived twice, yet it hasnt been completed. John Vandenberg 03:53, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, the linked page says: I propose that the 'crat flag be removed, didn't notice that you were also asking for the admin bit removal.

No worries; thank you. John Vandenberg 09:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Mww113@wuuwiki

I request temporary sysop access. I was told by wpedzich to make a third rfp if after contacting the active local sysop, and receving no reply.

Language Code: wuu
List of local sysops: wuu:Special:Listadmins
List of local bureaucrats: wuu:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
Local User Page: wuu:User:Mww113

Thank you Mww113 11:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done for a week. No reply from one of 4 local sysops who have been elected on the project, very few edits of the only active sysop and Mww seems to know what there is to be done. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 11:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Mww113 11:51, 9 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.
