Revision as of 18:32, 25 December 2007

Shortcut:
RfP RFP
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 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.

Please note that 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 approval of your local community.


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, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary". 

==== Username@language-code project-name ====

*'''Local Request Link:''' [[:xx:Project:wiki]]
*'''Automatic List of local bureaucrats:''' [[:<xx:project>:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat]]

Requests

Administrator access

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

kyawgyi@my my.wikipedia.org

I am a Burmese, and I request sysop access to my.wikipedia.org

  • Language Code: my
  • Local Request Link: admin

Thank you. Kyawgyi 06:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your request is only recent. Please wait a week for your community to approve you. Cary Bass demandez 02:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your advice. Kyawgyi

No one has supported or opposed you yet, so I cannot promote you yet. Please be patient.--Jusjih 00:50, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your advice. Our community is so small, so that it has been taken so long to giving me supports. I have a supported in now. Take a look at please. After I received the admin rights, I will show my abilities in there. Kyawgyi 06:44, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A possibility if you cannot gain consensus now is to ask for temporary sysop rights, and help build the community up so you could pass later. ++Lar: t/c 18:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Str4nd@fi Wikinews

I'm requesting bureaucrat access for Str4nd in fi Wikinews. We had a consensus about our first sysops and bureaucrats. Discussion was open from 25 November to 2 December.

Thank you. AtteL 12:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not done In a community with just 86 registered accounts (some of which are accounts created by Stewards and other Wikimedia users who maintain accounts in multiple projects) and 3 admins, we can't appoint 2 Bureaucrats (considering the request for AtteL, below). There simply isn't regular use for the tools associated with the bit. Perhaps in a few months, if the project continues to grow? Sorry about that. Redux 16:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We were asked in IRC to get some consensus in this thing. We already requested for this in November (see archives).
02:02:22 < effeietsanders> AtteL: and gather consensus in the mean while, to get permanent access
We also had a little situation with stoled nicknames. AtteL 18:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hi AtteL, sorry for the inclearity. I meant consensus regarding adminship, not bureaucratship. Sorry for the confusion. Effeietsanders 18:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In addition, notice that we need to consider the existing demand for the Bcrat tools on any project. In cases where only low traffic — meaning: contexts in which the tools would only be used sporadically — exists, the occasional requests are handled quite easily by the Stewards, on demand. Redux 21:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Even project is small, it would be best if fiwikinews would have at least one bureaucrat: there are couple bots waiting bot flag, multiple stolen nicknames to rename (which need almost fluent finnish to resolve which accounts are stolen) and so on. If AtteL drop out himself, is it possible to have bureaucrat rights for Str4nd? --Agony 20:13, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Bureaucrat bit gives a user access to 3 tools: Makesysop (creating new sysops locally), Rename and Makebot. It would appear that the present need for Bcrat tools on fi.wkinews is focused on 5 or 6 accounts that "borrowed" usernames from established users on fi.wiki. It also appears that this happened over a few days in late November and has since stopped, leaving only the already-existing accounts to be renamed. That is low traffic. All the community needs is to tell the Stewards to rename the 5 accounts exactly (X to Y, A to B, etc.) and that would be it. There still doesn't seem be a lasting need for a permanent Bcrat on such a small project (you called it "recently created" yourself in the thread for the CheckUser request). That could change, if in the next few months more people come, especially from fi.wiki, and start working on fi.wikinews, making the community larger and creating a continuous need for Bcrat tools — notice: "continuous" does not equal "large". "Continuous" means that there would always, or at least almost always, be something for a Bcrat to do, even if it isn't too many things. What it appears to exist right now is a localized need for a few renames, created by a localized inappropriate-account creation "spree" that, according to the pages linked, seems to be already over.
But if the project is going to have a Bcrat in the near future, it would indeed be interesting to gather consensus for a single name, at least at first. Redux 12:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is correct: I made request couple days ago when it went wild, and I'm pretty sure this kind of borrowing will happen again (same type vandal attack was last seen in fiwikibooks [four different times actually] and in fiwikiquote last summer when apparently same vandal teased SWMT). But indeed: If you do think there are no continuous need for Bcrat, then there is no need for Bcrat. My own view for this is that ATM it is casual when Bcrat rights are needed, but near future (month or at most two months) it will be needed regularly. About consensus: we start public discussion about this. --Agony 15:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AtteL@fi Wikinews

I'm requesting bureaucrat access for AtteL in fi Wikinews. We had a consensus about our first sysops and bureaucrats. Discussion was open from 25 November to 2 December.

Thank you. AtteL 12:19, 2 December 2007 (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. 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.

Sbisolo@itwiki

Please grant CU access to it:Utente:Sbisolo due to successful poll.

Identity should have been already confirmed since the user has been CU in the past.
Thanks. --Brownout(msg) 09:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seen, and agreed. Just waiting for another Steward, this is my own Wiki home project.
--M/ 15:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, that the user is identified to the Wikimedia Italia chapter. But, in the future, do not assume that because someone was checkuser before, means that they've identified to the Foundation. The board resolution did not take effect until July 2007, and anyone who had access removed before September 2007, when we were in compliance, would not have been required to identify. Cary Bass demandez 19:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

extraneous discussion separated:

User had not identified. Was checkuser prior to board resolution. User must identify first. Cary Bass demandez 16:49, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Not criticized but it looks like a scene of comedy ... so I cannot forbid myself to indicate that: the identification of a local chapter board member since its foundation hasn't been known to the mother organization. Wow. --Aphaia 18:16, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't automatically know who is on chapter boards or not, nor what their usernames are on the wikis. Please don't criticize based on this. Cary Bass demandez 19:33, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
A question for Cary Bass - if the user's identity hasn't been confirmed, how could he even be a CheckUser due to board resolution!? That's too dangerous! --King Edmund of the Woods 18:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
before the board resolution...--Nick1915 - all you want 18:47, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What's the "before the board resolution"? --King Edmund of the Woods 18:52, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Before the resolution which was passed in April existing CUs did not have to identify with their real name, etc. After the resolution was passed, all the people who had access to nonpublic data - CUs as well as e.g. OTRS volunteers - had to either confirm their personal details or leave the post. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 22:30, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bináris@huwiki

I request CheckUser access on Hungarian Wikipedia for my sockpuppet Bináris2.

Bináris2 is a sockpuppet for increased password safety. This solution was discussed with M/ and was announced and confirmed on local village pump. All the relevant links are listed on hu:User:Bináris2.

Thank you. Bináris 17:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bináris has identified. Cary Bass demandez 20:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done --filip ⁂ 20:44, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I have sent my subscription request to checkuser-l and to the listowner. Bináris 22:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done Bináris is subscribed to the list. ++Lar: t/c 18:30, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Djordjes@srwiki

I request CheckUser access for sr:User:Djordjes. The poll was conducted here.

The user needs to identify to the foundation/Cary, but he's been notified about that and he will soon do it. Thank you :) --filip ⁂ 13:04, 24 December 2007 (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: 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.

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:''' [[:xx:Project:wiki]]
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Nick1915@it-wikiversity

Please removal access because he's inactive.

Thank you. v:it:Utente:Fede_Reghe

I'm sorry, but I've not confirmed--Nick1915 - all you want 21:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stop this request: the policy has been misunderstood by the user. --Tooby 21:19, 18 December 2007 (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.

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 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 temporary sysop access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''List of local sysops:''' 
*'''List of local bureaucrats:''' 
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]
*'''Preferred duration and reason:'''

Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

MF-Warburg@aywikibooks

I request temporary sysop access to delete all pages in [1] so I can make a Bugzilla request then to close the wiki because of Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Aymara Wikibooks

  • Language Code: aywikibooks
  • List of local sysops: none
  • List of local bureaucrats: none
  • Local User Page: ay:b:User:MF-Warburg

--MF-Warburg(de) 17:19, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm... But, there is no articles inside of the category. Do you still need admin access there? --Millosh 20:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The wiki is already closed, so I think we can archive this request. -- Prince Kassad 16:12, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not done — Dan | talk 19:56, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Kassad@ks Wikipedia

I request temporary sysop access. The project has been hit by a spammer last month and a general vandal in 2004 and there are lots of pages left to be cleaned up.

  • Language Code: ks
  • List of local sysops: ks:Special:Listusers/sysop (2, ks:User:Rk kaul has not been active since January 2005, and I contacted the other sysop, ks:User:Eukesh, on his Newari Wikipedia talk page 2 days ago but he does not respond, despite being highly active on his home wiki.
  • List of local bureaucrats: ks:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat (none)
  • Local User Page: ks:User:Prince Kassad
  • Preferred duration and reason: 10 days, for deleting, restoring and moving vandalized pages, fixing the CSS to get certain templates working, and updating some pages which are outdated (ex. the Main Page).

Thank you. -- Prince Kassad 17:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since you mentioned the local admin being highly active on another project, as well as the fact that the damage was done quite some time back, we might need to wait a couple of days longer, to give him time to actually get around to the work needed. Further, could you inform him that you have requested temporary adminship on ks.wiki due to his lack of response and provide us with a link (diff) to this post, which would be, I take it, on the Newari Wikipedia? Thank you, Redux 18:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Done. -- Prince Kassad 18:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comments

Sorry, could not respond in time as I was out of town for a few days (btw, I was not active in any wikipedia after 25th Nov, neither in my "home" wikipedia, nor in my "non-home" wikipedia!). Have started working on Kashmiri wikipedia. It is not all spam and can be transformed into stubs. Btw, ethnologue considers usage of "Newari" as an offensive term to denote "Nepal Bhasa/Newar", so please try to use less of that term. All the same, thanks a lot for checking Kashur wiki for spams. Thank you.--Eukesh 21:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you edited recently... am I getting hallucinations? Anyway, don't forget to delete ks:Wikipedia:!Dead-end pages, ks:Wikipedia:!Long articles, ks:Wikipedia:!Most wanted articles, ks:Wikipedia:!Orphaned articles, ks:Wikipedia:!Popular articles, ks:Wikipedia:!Short articles, ks:Wikipedia:All pages by title and ks:Wikipedia:Broken/, remains of the old software which are fully protected but don't serve a purpose anymore. -- Prince Kassad 21:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Seems that the problem is solved (or being solved, at least). That being the case, this request itself is {{not done}}. I ask that any comments or requests concerning the actions needed be posted on the Kashmiri Wikipedia (possibly on Eukesh's talk page there), since this thread is going to be archived — plus the fact that we don't discuss actions pertaining to local projects on Meta pages. Redux 12:45, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm reopening the request, it looks like he stopped cleaning up, with only about 15 pages (of 120) having been processed. -- Prince Kassad 21:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe you are getting hallucinations :) Anyway, I do not proceed in a mechanized manner. I take my time to see whether the pages that are listed for deletion can be preserved or elongated rather than deleted. Besides, I am a volunteer and work when I have free time. If you are so eager to help, you are most welcome. However, please do not delete pages in Indic and Nastaleeq scripts without much knowledge. As you might notice from the discussions present in this wikipedia, the wikipedia was "abandoned" because of tensions arising due to script and stuffs. On a different note, I think you can help this wikipedia more by filing a request at bugzilla to create a two script solution as is present in Kazakh wikipedia. Thank you.--Eukesh 15:19, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot grant temporary adminship if local admins are active and responding to requests. Redux 01:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sad, considering that if a sysop is there but does not have enough time to clean up, it's absolutely impossible to clean up the wiki in question, and people can do whatever they want there. -- Prince Kassad 16:26, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If the local sysop would acknowledge that he doesn't have the time to handle an emergencial workload by himself, I could grant temporary adminship. If that would be best for the project. Would Eukesh be willing to state that much? He may consider that he can handle the work alone, as well as that the work isn't emergencial enough for a temp sysop to be appointed to help him handle it faster. PK, you should also consider the possibility of gaining consensus locally to be made a permanent sysop on the project. After all, one of the key aspects of temporary adminship is that it will last only for as long as it is absolutely necessary, and it will expire when no emergency or considerable backlog can be detected. And that means that temporary adminship is not the best solution if the project does have a need for a present admin, to handle day-to-day issues. Regards, Redux 21:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Permanent sysopship is only possible if a community exists, which is not the case for this Wiki. -- Prince Kassad 16:19, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can archive this discussion now. I lost interest in cleaning up the Kashmiri Wikipedia. -- Prince Kassad 15:09, 16 December 2007 (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.)
