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 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:

 and also mistakes. Thank you. 
}}

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.

Booklety@el.wikibooks

I am willing to edit Wikibooks. I have created three books and several other pages. There are also many useless pages must be deleted. Other pages need not be protected and others must be protected. All administrators are inactive. Booklety (talk) 11:30, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

{{on hold}} till 9 November. einsbor talk 09:50, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
When reviewing the request page, it seems to me that the request is malformed in that it is added inside the heading of a closed request from 2013. Please correct the request so that it shows as a new fresh request and let us know when that is done, the 7 day clock will reset from then. -- Avi (talk) 17:10, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In progress… until November 17, thank you. -- Avi (talk) 15:18, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Murbaut@ms.wikipedia

In there have the bureaucrat but inactive. I already notice he but no respon and I also already discuss more admin. And I want to become admin for fight any vandalism page, protect page for vandal. And else. In there many anonymous, so vandal is very big, not only vandal but user friendly also many. For vandal, I need admin for delete redudant page and other. I also contact admin, but no respon. Thanks for read my request. Murbaut (talk) 08:36, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the list thera are two bureaucrats, one of whom was active recently (vide), please contact them. Please, contact us after a week, in case of none action and the permission will be granted. Now,  On hold, einsbor talk 09:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I have explained the process in IRC but still it seems Murbaut didn't follow that, so i left a message on the local crat's talk pages--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 10:46, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to contest the above user request due the fact that (1) He is not meeting minimum edit counts required i.e. 500 edits (required) vs. 186 edits (actual) -->Edit Counter; and (2) The voting period also didn't followed/complied with ms.wikipedia.org's guideline i.e. obtain more than 70% votes in the following situation (a) There were 14 votes within a week, OR (b) ballout has been on going for more than 14 days. For this case, the user failed to meet all requirements. As such, I disagrees for him to be appointed as the sysop at ms.wikipedia.my. Zamwan (talk) 14:22, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Closing as not done - no reason to believe this will not be handled appropiately locally. Savhñ 14:32, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Zamwan: I see for the time being allowed to come out of the requirements to become an administrator in mswiki (evidence)Murbaut (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Murbaut:, you are correct. Nomination to be an admin is allowed at ms.wikipedia.org as long as you have meeting its pre-requisite requirements. Your case is totally different with Polar. Zamwan (talk) 11:33, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Savh. Hi @Zamwan: I just want to help tackle vandalism, I intend both to combat vandalism, I know you're administrator, but I want the board in mswiki it would be quick to respond. I just remind that administrators in mswiki many inactive. And also, admin are some active but does not care about the vandalism. Thanks Savh, Shanmugam7 and einsbor. Murbaut (talk) 04:17, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your statement on admins do not care about vandalism is totally misleading. I understand your desire to be an admin and tackle vandalism but sadly to say, each wiki communicate has their own requirements and we (including you) should obey it. Your desire to combat vandalism doesn't warrant or give you privileges to bypass/waive the rules. Zamwan (talk) 11:33, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Zamwan: I don't intend to bypass requirement. But in this case we need more admin, I think you hinder me to be the admin, and it np, I still many other interests. Please do not edit this task, see the status of Not Done you know. Sincerely Murbaut (talk) 13:56, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Trunzep@sw.wiktionary.org

Please provide a link to a local announcement or discussion. -- Avi (talk) 17:15, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Avi (talk local admins have been inactive for a long time. Bots active most of the time. Trunzep (talk) 11:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold If there is no response to the notice, that is usually OK for temporary sysopship (no opposition) but a notice must be placed. We do not assume no one will see it. -- Avi (talk) 15:18, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
May you consider sysopship for 9 months Avi (talk)? Trunzep (talk) 15:36, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We usually start with 3, then 6, and then settle on a recurring 12. You have a total of 17 edits on the project; I'd suggest following the usual process. -- Avi (talk) 15:38, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Will you consider 3 months then? Trunzep (talk) 15:44, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you post the notice on the local project in the appropriate place (requests for admin, local village pump, etc.) and there is no significant opposition within about a week, you should receive temporary admin status for at least 3 months. That's how it usually works . -- Avi (talk) 15:51, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The only active admins Muddyb and Kipala are seldom seen in the project. If i post the request in The Community Forum they won't respond. Trust me I know how they work. @ Avi (talk). Trunzep (talk) 16:04, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter are there active users or users at all. But the standard process is to make a local notice or we can't grant you any rights. --Stryn (talk) 16:30, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
FYI,I made a request on 4th July this year.. Clearly proves it all. Trunzep (talk) 18:33, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As Stryn says, the procedure requires that editors of the local project have the opportunity to comment. Should they choose not to, that is their business. Please post a new discussion and link to it here so we can start the clock. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 08:26, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Though am very impatient I'll do that... Though half heartedly... Trunzep (talk) 09:03, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See Here Trunzep (talk) 09:50, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold untill 18th Nov. ~ Nahid Talk 17:44, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, Trunzep is still very fresh. On the other hand wikamusi is in a deplorable state and got filled up with lots of garbage from people or bots who dump entries from other languages there for what reason so ever. We have no active community over there, our resources are concentrated on sw:wikipedia. SO I agree with Muddy ("Wikipedian") to give that young man a try. Muddy agreed to keep an eye on him. Give him that status and the right to throw out stuff. Would be easier if you just gave same status to all active admins on sw:wikipedia, once in a while (not often) several of us have a look over there. and btw; our internal discussions are in Swahili. Kipala (talk) 18:12, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Krol111@szl.wikipedia

It's my fourth continuation request. Krol111 (talk) 18:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC) I've asked about permanent administrator permissions. Krol111 (talk) 18:21, 15 November 2016 (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.

Admiral Titan@startrektimelineswiki

Thanks, -Admiral Titan (talk) 18:32, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The startrektimelineswiki is not operated by the WikiMedia Foundation - the stewards will not be able to action this - see your website developers. — xaosflux Talk 19:20, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

EVinente@pt.wikipedia

Awaiting ANPI Noticeboard confirmation. After, please add checkuser to EVinente as he has been approved in a local vote (53/1/6). Thanks in advance, RadiX 16:15, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold ~ Nahid Talk 16:29, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've posted a note at his talk page here, since he hasn't enabled email access apparantly. (@RadiX). Trijnsteltalk 22:32, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Trijnstel. I just saw you have already contacted him and asked him to inform his irc nick and cloak. Maybe there is something wrong with his Phabricator account. RadiX 03:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I'll also add him to the list/wiki etc. Trijnsteltalk 19:09, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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.

User לערי ריינהארט@eo.wikipedia

(your remarks) Ask for help:

I am a burocrate of the Esperanto-Wikipedia and we need the help of a Steward. The following user לערי ריינהארט (Leri Reinhart) possesses administrative rights in our Esperanto-Wikipedia. As he is inactive as administrator since more than two years, our community decided in a pooling to withdraw the administrative rights of לערי ריינהארט (Leri Reinhart) according to our regulation for inactive administrators. As no member of our community has rights as a steward, I now as burocrate of our community ask your help as steward to implement our decision. This decision concerns only the adiministrative rights of לערי ריינהארט (Leri Reinhart), whose contributions of course always will remain welcome.

Here the links to the user page of לערי ריינהארט (Leri Reinhart):

Our discussion was done here:

I thank you in the name of the Esperanto-Wikipedia community for your help. DidiWeidmann (talk) 12:50, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add a bit of information to the words by our respected bureaucrat DidiWeidmann. According to the rule about administratorship in Wikipedia in Esperanto, "If some administrator has not made any contribution to the Wikipedia since one complete year, his administratorship must be removed automatically by a steward. The administratorship removal must be announced beforehand on the Forum and on the talk page of the concerned user" (Se iu administranto ne faris ajnan kontribuon al la Vikipedio ekde unu plena jaro, li estu aŭtomate maladministrantigita de stevardo. La maladministrantigo estu antaŭsciigata en la Diskutejo kaj en la diskutpaĝo de la koncernita uzanto). לערי ריינהארט has not edited after 12 Sep 2015 and has not made protocol actions after 13 Mar 2014. Gamliel Fishkin 18:09, 12 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Done, with thanks for their service. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:37, 12 November 2016 (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
