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.

Hanberke@tk.wikipedia

Status:    Done

I've been an admin on this wiki for more than two years. Please grant me 1 year temporary sysop status. I'm only sysop there. Thanks in advance. Hanberke 07:23, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. To expire on 24 August 2012. This post copied over to approved temporary subpage. -- Daniel Mayer (mav) 00:47, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is no text on the linked page and your last edit was in February 2010. --Daniel Mayer (mav) 00:53, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Daniel, I've fixed the link. As for my last edit date you are right, however please note that when I first visited the site it was at the verge of closure. I personally built up 97% of the site. Presently I keep watching the site. I hope one day new contributors will join the team. Until that day I think it will be good to supervise things there.

Alhen@ay.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

Hey there, I'd like to ask for a 3-month temporal admin flag. I've been talking with Ruben from Jaqi Aru(an Aymara community oriented to promote Aymara language and culture) and we have planned a series of workshops to improve the contents and community on Wikipedia in Aymara. The flag would help me to move some pages, clean up some help pages that still exist with Spanish names and create users from the same IP when necessary. I already have admin flags at es@wiki commons and a couple more. I also intend to drop the flag in three months and then let the future community choose their own admins. --Alhen 15:29, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Hola Alhen. Esperaremos una semana antes de ponerte los botones en caso de que no haya oposición. Un saludo, -- Dferg 15:35, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Idh0854@ko.wikinews

Status:    In progress

No one contributed for the wikinews activities, including sysop(n:ko:user:Gapo) and temporary sysop(n:ko:user:Devunt) in Korean wikinews. User:Gapo and User:Devunt is last cont is on early July. I hope to develop the Korean wikinews.. and the project again.. so I had a temporary administrator of kowikinews. Thank you. --Idh0854 04:54, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please follow the local procedure and start an RfA at n:ko:위키뉴스:관리자 선거. Best regards, -- Dferg 08:58, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, present korean wikinews is not opening sysop election because of this wikinews circumstances is unfavorable.. And please, look at the active user list of korean wikinews, except for bot and other language user.(All six people..) Also, Korean wikinews need the more sysop, and some users agreeable.. in korean wikinews and korean wikipedia (→ n:ko:위키뉴스:사랑방#독자 기사) Thank you. --Idh0854 10:02, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry but We will not grant any rights to anybody without prior community consultation. Why you can't open a request for adminship for yourself? Who forbids that? -- Dferg 12:24, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Umm.. If that takes weeks, or months, it means nothing to us.. But I cannot be used to manage korean wikinews in the meanwhile. And is this case apart from this case? Thank you. --Idh0854 12:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In that request had been an administrator on that project in the past. You need only to open a request, wait a week and if there is no objection you will be made a temporary administrator. Ruslik 16:28, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Psneog@as.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I would like to nominate as:user:Psneog to adminship on the Assamese Wikipedia. Psneog has accepted the nomination. A discussion page has been setup here. The Assamese Wikipedia has seen a growth in recent days/months and there are a host of admin work needed. Chaipau 13:38, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chaipau. The discussion you quoted just started today. You need to wait one week, until 28 August 2011 (see here). Cordially, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 14:29, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Nartay Asimov Ashina@kkwp

Status:    Not done

The KKWP (Kazakh Wikipedia) community representatives at Wikimania have asked me to ask for Bureaucrat permissions for User:Ashina, as they are in the midst of very accelerated growth and would like to easily appoint new admins to handle the flow. Thanks. Ijon 08:12, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please, start a local discussion on the wiki. Ruslik 08:32, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion has started here. Will end this week. Ijon 15:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
However, won't be done as the local crat on this project is active. -Barras 16:05, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]


CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

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>

IgorTurzh@uk.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Please remove my sysop access. I will apply for a new RFA at an appropriate time. --IgorTurzh 07:28, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you for your service. Jafeluv 07:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

la goutte de pluie@en.wikipedia

Status:    Not done

Please remove my sysop access. I will apply for a new RFA at an appropriate time. La goutte de pluie 03:31, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

En.wiki has local bureaucrats that can remove sysop access. Try posting a request at en:Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. Jafeluv 05:07, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just saying that nothing forbids us to remove sysop access on wikis with local crats able to do so if the user is requesting that here. A matter to discuss I think. -- Dferg 13:50, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. If someone asks here, I think we can still remove it. That's one of our tasks, no matter if local people can do it. -Barras 14:12, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Self-requested removals are of course uncontroversial and it doesn't really make much difference who flips the bit, except that the log entry is made on meta instead of the local page. However, we generally decline steward requests, even uncontroversial ones, if there are active local people available to perform the same task. That's why the bolded text at the top does say that this page is intended only for wikis which have no local procedure for the task. Jafeluv 15:30, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed one of the motivating factors in giving enwiki bureaurats the ability to remove administrator permissions was to move the logs onto the local side (see w:WP:DESYSOP/TECH, w:WP:DESYSOP/POL, previous discussion on subject). That doesn't necessarily translate into 'stewards should send people to local venue except in urgent or emergency situations' and Dferg is correct that there is nothing "forbidding" non-urgent removal on request, nor has there been any kind of request to stewards from the enwiki community asking them to refrain from doing so. That being said, processing non-urgent requests in two different locations means that people may still be required to check both local and meta rights logs when looking into removals that were carried out after 2011 August 11. –xeno 13:27, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ArséniureDeGallium@fr.wiktionary

Removal of rights on nl.wikinews
