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.

L2212@scwikipedia

Status:    On hold

I've been an active user for years and also a temporary admin for 6 months in 2014. The only admin sc.wikipedia has right now has been searching for someone else to help him for years, and even if there are not a lot of active users interested in voting (we tried contacting a few) we managed to reach the quorum (2 votes). Please grant me permanent adminship.--L2212 (talk) 14:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Does it not say on the page that the request ends on 23 February? --MF-W 11:05, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, that was a mistake I made while opening the election. As you can see here the voting system (unchanged since 2005, as you can see in the history of the page) says that the elections are supposed to be closed after two weeks (Sa durada de sa votatzione est istabilida in 2 chidas).--L2212 (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dk1919 Franking@scwikipedia

Status:    On hold

Dk1919 Franking has been an active user for years and also a temporary admin for 3 months in 2014. The only admin sc.wikipedia has right now has been searching for someone else to help him for years, and even if there are not a lot of active users interested in voting (we tried contacting a few) we managed to reach the quorum (2 votes). Please grant him permanent adminship.--L2212 (talk) 14:58, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Two votes mean that the community is not large enough for permanent admins. I can grant temporal adminship for 1 year. Ruslik (talk) 20:33, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Is it really not possible to have a permanent adminship? We had those for a while with other admins, the problem is that even if there are active users they don't often go to the community portal (the Tzilleri) and don't follow this kind of things. I could try to contact them one by one on their talk pages and do a new election, but I don't know if that would be ok. For now I only did it with two users I know, but one of them responded to me on the 24, right after the election was over. The other one was Dk1919 Franking, that after voting decided to also add his candidature as well. How many votes do we need to have for an election to be considered valid?--L2212 (talk) 23:09, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You do not need new elections, you can extend voting in current one. Ruslik (talk) 21:00, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I did it. I extended the voting period until 11 of February.--L2212 (talk) 12:12, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Very well! I think it is a very good idea the extension of the deadline. Hopefully now we will be able to reach more users. I think that some of them responded too late and that now they are available to vote. One was Mattafaluga, I think. --Elcaracol (talk) 22:15, 28 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

J_ansari@hi.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

Davidzdh@zh-classical wikipedia

Status:    On hold

I has been an admin of Classical Chinese Wikipedia for 2 years. During this time I dealted with vandalism and did jobs to help this wiki develop. The local announcement is made today. Thank you very much.- I am Davidzdh. 12:25, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On hold until 7 February. --MF-W 16:58, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Romaine@nl.wikinews

Status:    Done

Romaine has been re-elected as a administrator (Dutch: moderator) on Dutch Wikinews. Can you please grant him admin rights again for a new period? Generally a term of one year is granted. When one views his service as an administrator on so many projects, I think it is very fair to make an exception for him to grant him these rights for an indefinite term. This is actually what the project rules of Dutch Wikinews prescribe. However it hasn't been granted yet to anyone. There is no risk at all for Romaine (6 votes in favour with a total of six votes - and again re-elected). He is an acclaimed user and administrator yet for a long time and on many projects. Sincerely, Ymnes (talk) 16:09, 4 February 2019 (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.

GatoSelvadego@vec.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

I start this project in the Wikimedia Incubator in September 2011, then I have temporary admin flag from June 2013 (when the new wiki was opened) to December 2013 and from February 2014 to August 2015. I'm already interface administrator on vec.wikipedia and I've already worked on CSS/JS when I had the admin flag on vec.wikt. If it's not possible to have a permanent interface adminship I request, at least, a temporary one, 'cause we have some work to do (like adapting en.wikt's translations style). PS: Is 2FA enabled compulsory? I don't have a smartphone...GatoSelvadego (talk) 13:16, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Yes, 2FA is compulsory now. You can use desktop/laptop applications for this. You can store the key (as well as scratch codes) in case in the future you need to install a 2FA app on a smartphone. Ruslik (talk) 20:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Дагиров Умар@ce.wikipedia

Forgive me to give me Interface administrators rights. --Дагиров Умар (talk) 20:38, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Please, enable 2FA. Ruslik (talk) 20:49, 3 February 2019 (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.

EVinente@ptwiki

Status:    In progress

Hello friends. With my appointment to OC, I request the removal of my permissions on pt.wiki. I do not feel comfortable in "supervising" my own work. Thanks. EVinente (talk) 12:54, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you request removal of both oversight & checkuser? --MF-W 13:09, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes @MF-Warburg:. Thank you. EVinente (talk) 13:11, 5 February 2019 (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
