:Hi {{ping|LesickaT}}, first of all, thank you for wanting to help! I suggest to gain experience, given that your account is new.

The main page is currently only protected from non-confirmed users, meaning you are able to edit it without problems since your account is autoconfirmed. There is still a lot to do even as a "normal" user, and in the meantime, if you do stumble upon something which needs admin help, you are always free to ask [[global sysops]] or [[stewards]] (either through [[Global sysops/Requests]] for quick cleanups, or [[Steward requests/Miscellaneous]] for more complicated tasks). So, I suggest waiting a few months when you have gained more experience, and then apply again.

Shortcut:
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.

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

(translate | edit)

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: 

==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
  |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
  |domain     =
  |user name  =
  |discussion = 
}}

Administrator access

See Administrator for information about this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson@iswiktionary

Status:    On hold

The project is very inactive. I have recently changed well over a thousand messages on translatewiki.net which concern the categorisation of the project, for instance tracking categories which MediaWiki expects to exist. I intend to fix some discrepancies as well as tidy up unneeded local messages. I do not expect that I will want to extend the user access level beyond the 3-month period. Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same comment as above. EPIC (talk) 10:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson: Please also note that iswiktionary has 2 bureaucrats is:wikt:Kerfissíða:Notendalisti/bureaucrat. Have you tried contacting them first? EPIC (talk) 10:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not think to it. Should I contact them to make me an administrator or to dump on them a workload of administrative actions to execute on my behalf? Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 12:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If a wiki has local bureaucrats, we usually leave the task of adding new administrators to them. So, I suggest contacting them, and if they do not respond in a week or so, feel free to come back here and there shouldn't be a problem granting you adminship. EPIC (talk) 12:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold I tried to reach the local 'crats. Let's wait for a week. Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 14:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doostdar@fawikibooks

Status:    Done

Request for prolongation. --Doostdar (talk) 17:43, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doostdar: Hi, if I'm reading this correctly, you opened your request on 6 February, which is 34 days ago. As the notice in this section says, we sadly can't grant if the discussion is that old. Thus, I would advise to open a new discussion; you can let it be open for 7 days at minimum, and if you want you can let it run for two or three weeks, but no more than that. So, please open a new discussion, come back and there should be no problems extending your adminship. Thanks. EPIC (talk) 17:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The bit about 7 days isn't any strict policy - I don't see any issues with granting this. Giving the local community more time to comment seems like a good thing, within reason. – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:28, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the seven days rule as too strict either (that's why we usually can let the discussion go for two or three weeks without problem), but 34 days feels a little much. But, I am open to opinions here, of course. EPIC (talk) 05:55, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2026-03-12. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks.
Yep, no issue here, also it doesn't make sense to ask a long term sysop for creating a new request only because 1 month passed and the outcome is obviously however identical (leaving the project without a potential idle sysop). The task of the stewards is to allow communities to function as best as possible and not to act as notaries by applying the policies to the letter! On small projects is fine to wait a month to try gaining a certain consensus (since users are often inactive) imho. @Doostdar: Best and thanks for volunteering and, please, next time post here after 1-2 weeks to avoid issues like this one --Superpes15 (talk) 14:47, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LesickaT@tpiwiktionary

Status:    Not done

I am currently studying Tok Pisin in Papua New Guinea and would like to help this project as I am learning the language. I have reached out to other people who have performed admin work in the past for this site and one of them referred me to this permission request.
There are no current admins and as my discussion stated, I would like to edit the front page to remove dead links and add links to category pages as they are created. There are also a few deadend and orphaned pages that need to be removed and "pages not connected" that either need to be connected or removed.

Hi @LesickaT:, first of all, thank you for wanting to help! I suggest to gain experience, given that your account is new. And, if I understand correctly, your main reason for requesting adminship was to edit the main page? The main page is currently only protected from non-confirmed users, meaning you are able to edit it without problems since your account is autoconfirmed. There is still a lot to do even as a "normal" user, and in the meantime, if you do stumble upon something which needs admin help, you are always free to ask global sysops or stewards (either through Global sysops/Requests for quick cleanups, or Steward requests/Miscellaneous for more complicated tasks). So, I suggest waiting a few months when you have gained more experience, and then apply again. Once again though; thank you for volunteering! EPIC (talk) 06:58, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done No relevant experience and newly created user. Thanks for volunteering and please don't be discouraged by this outcome. --Superpes15 (talk) 14:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

99of9@wikifunctions

Status:    In progress

Please grant admin rights per successful local vote. Ameisenigel (talk) 08:47, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Bureaucrat access

See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access

See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Oversight access

See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewardsconnect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

Miscellaneous requests

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions

Removal of access

  • 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 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 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 Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

Violetbonmua@viwikipedia

Status:    Done

I'd like to request the removal of my adminship. Due to a lack of manpower, I've kept these tools primarily for anti-vandalism purposes, with the intention of assisting whenever possible and tidying up when I have time. But now it seems to me that the new generation can handle these responsibilities, and with the advancement of technology, nothing is beyond reach. I seek to rediscover tranquility once more. In the end, admindship is not a big deal. I'd love to contribute as a regular editor. Violetbonmua (talk) 02:38, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. --❄️Mykola❄️ 04:33, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

かげろん@jawikibooks

Status:    In progress

Per local policy (長期に渡り不活動を継続する管理者は権限が除去されます。最後に活動が確認されてから2年以上、編集も権限行使もない管理者は、再信任投票の開始時点で自動的に退任となります。 [Administrators who remain inactive for an extended period of time will have their privileges removed. Administrators who have not made any edits or exercised their authority for more than two years since their last known activity will be automatically removed from office at the start of the re-confidence vote.]) A local discussion has been started two weeks ago. Last edit on 1 April 2021. Ameisenigel (talk) 08:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin/steward comment) I think a local admin should check if the interpretation of local policy is correct or not. Last year, I tried to do something similar, but I was told that my interpretation of local policy was not correct. MathXplore (talk) 13:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If I have understood last years discussion correctly the concerns was that there have not been two full years. Now we have the two full years (2022 + 2023). --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have contacted to an active local admin about this case. MathXplore (talk) 01:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am Tomzo, one of the administrators of ja.Wikibooks.
I am honestly confused by this request.
I understand that each Wikimedia project is allowed to have its own autonomy and is encouraged to operate under that autonomy. I believe that such a request at a higher level, such as META-WIKI, is unnecessary unless it is contrary to the principles of the Wikimedia project, for example, if the results of discussions by participants are not properly implemented by administrators.Therefore, the content of this request should be left to the autonomy of ja.Wikibooks.
The person making this request may have raised this issue at ja:b:Wikibooks:管理者の辞任#利用者:かげろん_2 and received no response, so he/she may have asked for a response here, but I would ask him/her to consider why no one responded there.
For the participants of the ja.Wikibooks community, the failure to follow "this" rule is in itself harmless in the normal course of activities. The rules are there to facilitate the project in the first place, not for the value of whether they are followed or not.And also I find it very odd that such a proposal was made by a member who does not participate in the general article writing activities of ja.Wikibooks.
As a member of the ja.Wikibooks community, I strongly object to the treatment of community participants being discussed here and hope this case is dismissed.--Tomzo (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe me or not, I am a big fan of the autonomy of individual Wikimedia projects. In this case there is a local policy that has been approved by the local community. This policy needs to be respected as long as the local community has not decided to change this policy. If jawikibooks community wants to change this policy they can do so. And then everyone will follow the new policy. Please show us if we have misunderstood the current local policy. I would be also interested in knowing how it helps your project if a user who has not edited since April 2021 keeps their advanced rights. --Ameisenigel (talk) 22:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
