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: 

==== 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.

CapitainAfrika@lnwikipedia

Status:    On hold

I want to become Administrator access and Interface administrator access on wikipedia in lingala (see here) CapitainAfrika (talk) 20:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 26 March. Your request doesn't seem to say anything about the interface admin part, so I'm not sure about granting that however, but I don't see any problem renewing only regular adminship. EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
for the interface, there are many words that do not agree with the true meaning of the words, this is the reason for this need.CapitainAfrika (talk) 21:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CapitainAfrika: The issue is not the reason why you need the flag. The issue is that you didn't mention "I ask for interface admin flag" on the local page. Thanks Superpes15 (talk) 12:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CapitainAfrika@kgwikipedia

Status:    On hold

I want to become Administrator access and Interface administrator access on wikipedia in kikongo (see here) CapitainAfrika (talk) 20:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 1 April. Like above your request doesn't seem to say anything about the interface admin part, so I'm not sure about granting that. EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alphama@viwikiquote

Status:    On hold

Hello, I am running my grant project (Wikidata Labelling Working Group [1]) on Vietnamese Wikiquote, so I need the admin right about 2 months to monitor the project. There are only a few editors in Viwikiquote, so I ask for the admin access right here.  A l p h a m a  Talk 04:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Alphama:, did you open a local discussion? If not, please do so, wait for seven days (it doesn't have to get any votes), come back and there shouldn't be any problems granting you.  On hold until then. EPIC (talk) 06:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did open the discussion. Ok, I will wait for the community's opinions after 7 days.  A l p h a m a  Talk 12:22, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ayane Fumihiro@viwikivoyage

Status:    In progress

I am a regular active member of the Wikipedia main project and feel that these child projects are little known to everyone. Vietnamese Wikivoyage has a lot of preservation work but for a long time no one has stood out as the administrator of the project. I would like to apply for administrator rights to serve the preservation and anti-vandalism. Ayane (meta | phab) 13:56, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ayane Fumihiro: First and most importantly; did you open a local discussion? If not, please do so and wait for at least a week, and come back after that. Still, if there aren't any votes I'm still going to be a bit hesitant about granting since you don't have that many edits on the project. EPIC (talk) 14:00, 31 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.

Status:    In progress

See comment below. EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, I just have to apply once and specify the 2 tasks? CapitainAfrika (talk) 21:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CapitainAfrika@kgwikipedia

Status:    In progress

I want to become Interface administrator access on wikipedia in kikongo (see here) CapitainAfrika (talk) 20:43, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CapitainAfrika: I might be mistaken here, but I can't see that any of your requests mention that you are applying for interface administrator? EPIC (talk) 20:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, I just have to apply once and specify the 2 tasks? ~Thanks @EPICCapitainAfrika (talk) 21:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Comment Comment @Darkdadaah, JackPotte, Pamputt, and Stephane8888: Before we proceed with these removals, could one of you confirm that this is indeed in line with your local policy? (as the link seemed to be to a proposal and not to the actual policy) EPIC (talk) 20:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You can find the same information at fr:wikt:Wiktionnaire:Administrateurs: À l’issue d’un à deux ans d’inactivité, les administrateurs sont destitués [After one to two years of inactivity, administrators are dismissed] --Ameisenigel (talk) 20:36, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Of course I am not saying you were lying but I rather want to avoid a bn.wikisource type situation again, in case fr.wiktionary also has something similar in their policy, also considering I don't speak French. Waiting for a reply, and then proceeding. EPIC (talk) 20:41, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No problem! --Ameisenigel (talk) 20:45, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is in accordance with frwikt policy. Vive la rosière has not contributed for a long time, so you can remove their administrator rights accordingly. Pamputt (talk) 22:08, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
