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. Minimum voting requirement are listed here.

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 this is for multiple users, leave this field blank and give a list of these users 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.

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.

Dear administrators, I ask you to permanently protect the article Wikipedia:Бичлиһан Bichlihan, an active war of revisions by anonymous authors. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 15:16, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have requested the wrong place at here, those article protection tasks it should make requests at local wiki, your proposal at here would not be prudent. SA 13 Bro (talk) 15:27, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
But this wiki is not administrators. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 15:30, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This wiki lists two administrators: User:Calmouk and User:Huuchin. However, it looks like neither has made an edit nor a log action since 2015. If so, then the page to request this would be SRM, I imagine. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:58, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
These two members User:Calmouk and User:Huuchin are no longer administrators. So, as they have not been active for more than two years. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 16:05, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
They are still listed there (see xal:Special:ListUsers/sysop). If the community voted to remove them from that status, or if they should have been removed because the community has an existing inactivity policy, then action was never taken on that, because they are still listed as administrators. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the proof this and this. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 16:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(This will be my last comment here, as Stewards really need to address)
  • You possibly have an issue that the administrator status of these two users should be terminated. If so, please place a notice to that effect farther down on this page, at #Removal of access.
Note to Stewards concerning the "proof" brought above: Rights were not removed during AAR 2014 due to xal:Special:Diff/71765 and xal:Special:Diff/71841, which were comments by the two local sysops themselves. Not that I speak that language, understand, but I saw no other comments but those two, and there was no link to a different discussion on the wiki. Whether those two comments by the sysops themselves are sufficient for them to continue holding those rights an additional two years later is your call, of course, not mine. But it does seem, at very least, that there are no sysops currently active on that wiki. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:46, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Any further comment here will have to come from a steward, which I am not. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:30, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@StevenJ81: Comment Comment No. also close theme, blocked on 3 wikis. Пугачов Иван Петрович2 (talk) 10:17, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to provide the local wiki situation. SA 13 Bro (talk) 16:35, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    In progress

(I am requesting admin rights for Feipìn for a full year. He was already administrator once back to 2008, when he was active as F. Noceti. He did a brilliant job at the time as he is also knowledgeable of IT skills. We met lately and he decided to support my admin activity. We are very few people on Wikipedia Ligure, unfortunately, while most active users voted for him on https://lij.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators/candid%C3%A6 ) Luensu1959 (talk) 14:56, 5 September 2017 (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.

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.

Per CheckUser policy and Oversight, please remove these users' CheckUser and Oversight flag.--GZWDer (talk) 19:29, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Test projects are special. Checkuser and oversight access on them may be necessary for testing. Have you notified these users? Ruslik (talk) 17:28, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0 and GZWDer: I have asked James to check out this case from the WMF standpoint. The rights were assigned so long ago by former WMF staff so maybe they are no longer required. AFAIK at least three of them are no longer with WMF. RadiX∞ 19:18, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing special about testwikis in this case. As those wikis are connected to SUL there are the same personal information about users editing there as on the other Wikimedia projects. I do not know about any exceptions to CU and OS Policies for testwikis. --Base (talk) 16:41, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear administrators, please remove article Өөрд Oord. Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 15:12, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This page is for granting or removing userrights permissions on Wikimedia projects. Please use Steward requests/Miscellaneous for the kind of requests you are doing. --Base (talk) 16:44, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And then tell me please, how can I become administrator of the Kalmyk Wikipedia? Where should I go? How to apply? Пугачов Иван Петрович (talk) 08:15, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You need to open a discussion on that wiki, either on a "Request for adminship" page, if it exists, or on the Community Portal page, and see if members of the community will support you. That discussion needs to stay open for at least one full week. If the community supports you, you then come back to this page (above, at #Administrator access and ask the stewards to grant the right, including a link to the discussion on your home wiki. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:56, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You may also need to explain your block history to the stewards in order to have those rights granted. A block history does not necessarily prevent you from getting rights in the future, but it does raise a concern that probably will need to be addressed. IMPORTANT: Don't start arguing that point here and now; this is not the place for it. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Malafaya@vowiki

Please remove by bureaucrat access. I'm only keeping admininstrator status. Thanks, Malafaya (talk) 19:41, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Stryn (talk) 07:31, 7 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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
