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.

Please place a local request on the local village pump and wait at least a week. Even if there's no or little community it is a formality to inform the community and should be done whenever it's possible; because I see no emergency here, right? :) --dferg ☎ talk 17:31, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Michaelovic@arcwiki

Status:    Done

Michaelovic, please place a local request and wait for a week. --Jyothis 18:04, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Jyothis, I don't need another local request, based on what Dferg told me. I quote: "You can, of course, come back to meta few days after the term expires and request a renewal of your term (or if the community has grown, hold another vote and reach more voters so that you can get permanent adminship)." So what he is basicly saying is: Another vote is for permanent adminship, not for the renewal of the temp. adminship. Thank you. Michaelovic 18:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Since you atleast have a couple of more admins around in arcwiki, I would still request you to place a local request in the village pump or main page talk for a week. if there are no objections, we can extend your temp adminship. No offence, just following the protocol, thats all :) --Jyothis 19:11, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You've always to inform your local community because it's the procedure and, above all, for reaching comments about your sysop' work... this praxis was implicit in dferg' suggestion. Thanks--Nick1915 - all you want 19:23, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
See here Evaluation Michaelovic as admin where people had the change to object against me being admin. I gave them a week (since the 3rd). There are no objections. Please could you renew my term now? Thanks in advance. Michaelovic 13:37, 10 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done, expires in 6 months; the 11-07-2011. Please remember not to translate the interface locally and to upload images to commons. Thanks, --dferg ☎ talk 19:19, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

Steward requests/Permissions/Crat-header

Alison@gvwikipedia

Status:    Done

Hi Stewards. I'm just requesting temporary sysop and bureaucrat permission for the Manx Wikipedia. The one permanent sysop (no local 'crats present) has requested I do some vital maintenance to MediaWiki space (mostly css/js, some mainpage), as well as kick the project over to the v2 Wikipedia logo. I also need to set bot bits for the local interwiki bots as they're currently completely overrunning RecentChanges. I have formally requested and was granted assent from the one and only sysop over there (the hard-working w:gv:User:MacTire02 :) ) I just need access for one or two days, is all. I've had it temporarily there a few times before, and I'm a sysop and bureaucrat on the Irish Language Wikipedia. Thanks, guys / maith agaibh - Alison ❤ 18:50, 3 January 2011 (UTC) * Done. Alison is trusted more than enough for her not to abuse temporary 'crat privileges. I'll set the reminder for a week; if you finish earlier, please let us know. Also, it may pay to get those privileges permanently if the project has a large enough userbase. -- Avi 19:02, 3 January 2011 (UTC) Handled by other stewards. -- Avi 19:11, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    • Thanks, Avi - you're awesome :) There's only one sysop on there and activity is very low. I can read the language (sorta) but can't write it. I don't know if I could get !votes for permanent ops over there. 'crat is definitely out & there's really only the need for temporary quick-hop-in-and-done stuff. Thanks, tho' :) - Alison ❤ 19:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed Wutsje fixed it. that happened due to an edit conflict. --Jyothis 19:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • all finished and sorted over there now, guys :) The local sysop is delighted with the updates, so feel free to remove my privs any time. Thanks again, stewards! :) - Alison ❤ 01:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done --Jyothis 03:39, 8 January 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>

SB_Johnny@enwikiversity

Status:    Not done

Requesting an emergency desysopping because he gave administrator rights to an individual without community consensus. Abd's first mentorship ended without a recommendation. As such, he is not qualified to have anothe mentorship period as only those who have failed a vote or did not complete their mentorship period are allowed to do such. Abd reapplied anyway. Community consensus was against allowing him another mentorship. SB Johnny granted ops anyway. This is an extreme abuse of Bureaucrat ops and an emergency desysop is necessary. --Ottava Rima (talk) 22:55, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone has concerns about this, please bring it to my talk page on en.wv rather than elsewhere. My pressing of the button in question was very much according to local policy. Ottava's objection was noted locally as well. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 23:06, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is not in WMF policy for Crats to give adminship against Community Consensus. Ottava Rima (talk) 23:10, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not done Please have a local discussion about the situation first as a community and develop a local consensus for removal of sysop/bureaucrat rights: Regardless of if the matter is against policy or not, it's not an emergency: There are no wiki pages or people being actively damaged by his having the rights at the moment. Kylu 23:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Emergency desysops have been processed before without consensus, especially in small communities where the consensus has been ignored. And there are many people who are actively in danger because of the action. This showed major concerns about Abd's history of revenge and attacks. Ottava Rima (talk) 00:08, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Get a grip. SRSLY. en:wv isn't a small wiki, and his actions were within policy. Even if they weren't, stewards don't decide, they act on consensus. Go get consensus. Or just go. Whichever. ++Lar: t/c 01:00, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not a small wiki? We had half of our admin go inactive for many years and we currently have only 4 active admin, with only 14 active in any definition going back 3 months. By definition, that is a small wiki and would have to opt-out according to global sysop policy. And emergency desysops have happened without need for consensus. Only fully desysops happen without consensus. After all, stewards can grant temporary sysop without consensus, negating your whole premise. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:02, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think that you are missing the point... you are the only person here that is seeing this as an emergency. Even looking on Wikiversity, you seem to be the only person that considers this an issue. As such, consensus is required before any removal of rights will happen. Ajraddatz (Talk) 01:21, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
If you looked at Wikiversity, you would have seen that the community opposed Abd in the discussion. Consensus cannot happen on tiny Wikis with few active participants. Our main discussion forum only had a dozen different participants dating back a month. Crat Jtneill admits the community had concerns over Abd: "I am concerned, however, by the community concern above." This was completely disregarded and supplanted. Effectively, 25% of the community is 3 crats that have ignored community consensus. That is a severe imbalance and leads to opping people without consensus. That is not acceptable practice. If necessary, I will call a Meta RFC to have the whole leadership wiped from Wikiversity and the system started over because of their ignoring the community and granting sysops without consensus. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Starting a "Meta RFC" (whatever that is) would probably be better than your current approach, at least in the sense of getting it over with. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 02:15, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I could just point out that you were given back your Cratship and Adminship at Wikiversity without community consensus nor a process to allow automatic re-opping. That would mean that you do not rightfully have the ops and can be immediately removed as such. Ottava Rima (talk) 02:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya, take the conversation to Requests for comment please, rather than debate here. Thanks. Kylu 05:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
