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= 
}}

DzWiki@bs.wikisource

Status:    Not done

(I would like to have admin rights on bs.wikisource, if possible.
Reason: I want to remove or change some "mediawiki-messages" and change some protected pages.) DzWiki (talk) 17:01, 24 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please file a local discussion on the correct noticeboard, such as the Village Pump/Bar/Admin's noticeboard, if there is not a specific page. Snowolf How can I help? 14:11, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dark Eagle@ltgwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Still no voted bureaucrats --Dark Eagle (talk) 13:31, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Did you put a local request for adminship ? -- Quentinv57 (talk) 13:46, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I had admin permissions last 1 year... but our community still don't voted any bureaucrats because we don't have needed activity --Dark Eagle (talk) 19:00, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Quentinv57's question should be interpreted as "Have you again requested of the community for admin rights to continue?" Once you have done that, we will wait about a week to judge the opinion of the community to your request. — billinghurst sDrewth 15:53, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No request has been made at ltg: to your community requesting this right be granted. Please make that request, as without the request we cannot progress this request. — billinghurst sDrewth 05:01, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User Man2fly2002@arcwikipedia

Status:    In progress

(your remarks) Man2fly2002 (talk) 04:28, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Man2fly2002. The system tells me you don't have any advanced rights over arcwiki. Can you please explain us which services do you want from us? Thank you. —Marco Aurelio (audiencia) 10:14, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please I want you to upgrade my account so i can work to improve the arc.wikipedia.org and i am asking this because one of the Administrators at arc.wikipedia (334a@wikipedia) ask me to apply here for more rights over the arc.wikipedia thank you.
Hello, first, you need to let your local community know that you want to be an administrator. (You can post your request on Village Pump or another page where people can see, so they can discuss). After some time (usually 7 days to 14 days), if other editors at arcwikipedia shows support, you can ask us again and you will become an administrator. Do remember to give us the link to the local discussion. Regards. Bencmq (talk) 03:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bill william compton@hif.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I'd like to nominate myself for the adminship on Fijian Hindi Wikipedia. The community is very small and have very few active members. Project doesn't have many important MediaWiki pages, users utility gadgets, and speedy deletion requests remain unheard for shockingly six months. This type of idleness cannot attract new users.
Question to reviewing steward: Can I be a permanent? There's too much inactivity (recent changes is a good illustration) so I don't expect anyone to !vote for my request. What could possibly a solution to it?--Bill william compton (talk) 14:22, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bill. Sure, we just need to wait at least one week to check if there is some comments on this discussion. As fore the permanent status, we prefer not to grant it to new sysops on projects without community because it ends to leave the project with tons of inactive sysops. Plus it's a good way to check if the local community still has trust in the sysop and if no abuse has been committed. Best regards, -- Quentinv57 (talk) 14:32, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh! that's completely understandable. I hope I'll prove myself worthy :) --Bill william compton (talk) 04:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until the 8th of June. Snowolf How can I help? 02:28, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lionslayer@mywiktionary

Status:    Done

I am still maintaining this wiktionary. Please extend my adminship. Thank you. @=={Lionslayer> ☎ 05:22, 5 June 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Would 6 more months sufficient? Also, consider seeking permanent adminship by gathering community support. Thanks. ✒ Bennylin 08:31, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2012-12-06. The community is not large enough to grant it for 1 year or even permanent. Trijnsteltalk 10:35, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arjunaraoc@te.wikisource

Status:    In progress

Need admin privilege to configure Proofread extension on Telugu Wikisource for about two months. The admins on the project are not active for a long time. The last time an admin was active was during April 2011 -- Arjunaraoc (talk) 08:15, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How long do you need it ? -- Quentinv57 (talk) 17:46, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lavallen@sv.books

Status:    Not done

Asking for an hour of temporary adminship to remove some pages in the speedy-category and to add links to useful vandalism-hunting-tools in the correct places. The local policy is generous to accept new permanent sysops. -- Lavallen 14:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I see there are at least two active sysops, did you ask them ? That's not that I don't trust you, but I can hardly give adminship, even temporary, without a community consensus on a wiki with active admins... -- Quentinv57 (talk) 17:44, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I am only frustrated of seeing speedy-deletes staying in the category since october. X-wiki-patrolling the project has no gain during such cirumstances. I mark this as "not done" since I am AFK the following 12 hours. Regards! -- Lavallen 17:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

(The Slovene Wikiversity community is very small and other than many students who work oh their projects has very few active members. We need a few local sysops for recent changes patrol. No opposition in more than a month of open voting/discussion on page linked above.) MZaplotnik (contribs) 17:36, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Granted for 3 months until 6 September 2012. Ruslik (talk) 18:37, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Esbardu@ast.wiktionary

Status:    Not done

I think the project is big enough to gain a local bureaucrat and to manage administrator and bot rights locally. The link points to the local community aproval, wich had a period of 7 days to vote. Thanks in advance. Regards Esbardu (talk) 22:25, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With the current votes, it wouldn't be enough even to make a permanent admin. (I generally go by 5 active local users supporting) Snowolf How can I help? 22:27, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not done as the project as only one admin, and not enough substantially active editors to allow for a 'crat vote to pass. Snowolf How can I help? 22:29, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.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>

Please remove my administrator rights on the said project. Could you help me remove my account on all wikiprojects? Thank you very much!--AidaBishkek (talk) 06:23, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Comment I'm afraid we can't remove accounts. It's technically not possible. And are you sure you want to quit? You were active a few days ago. Trijnsteltalk 12:10, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'm sure. --AidaBishkek (talk) 02:40, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
