Revision as of 19:16, 23 February 2015

Shortcut:
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.

Quick navigation: Administrator | Interface administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Miscellaneous | Global permissions

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:

==== Username@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.

వైజాసత్య@te.wikiquote

I am admin in Telugu wikipedia, wiktionary and wikisource. I am requesting temporary admin access in te wikiquote to install extensions and templates and customize few features as community has shown recent interest in developing the project. Thanks --వైజాసత్య (talk) 06:48, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please create a local request/announcement nevertheless, in case anyone comes by and has comments. Also, please note that you can't install MediaWiki extensions by yourself. --MF-W 21:30, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I meant Gadgets. I have posted a local request / announcement now --వైజాసత్య (talk) 07:47, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is on hold until 25 February then (minimum 1 week for discussion). --MF-W 02:33, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pratyya_Ghosh@bn.wiktionary

Pratyya contacted me over IRC, requesting me to grant him 1.5 years of temp adminship per the above discussion. I would like more eyes on this, ans I like transparency, so i am posting it here. The reason I'm posting and not Pratyya, is he will have limited access to internet until the 22nd, when his term would already expire. Please comment/execute as you see fit. best Matanya (talk) 21:40, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Username fixed. --M/ (talk) 21:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks fine to me. Ajraddatz (talk) 22:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Historically, we have not given temporary admin rights for periods of longer than one year, IIRC. -- Avi (talk) 13:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I certainly already did so and also remember others doing it. I am very much in favour of giving 1,5 years of temporary adminship when someone has already had temporary adminship several times before. --MF-W 14:27, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. After an extended period of trusted service I see no reason not to extend for longer periods. However, I would set a maximum limit of 2 years, in line with the global inactivity policy limits, unless the project has its own more restrictive activity policy (unlikely I know). QuiteUnusual (talk) 13:41, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I don't like the idea of the longest term. Many communities have a confirmation process, and that is from a year, and I don't think that small wikis should have a longer period than a year. It is not an onerous process.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:57, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
My own opinion is if the wiki isn't large or active enough for permanent admins, then a year is a reasonably long enough length of time. If the admin starts the discussion just a bit more than a week before the expiration, it can be seamless. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving rights for 18 months; i just don't see it as substantially superior to 12. -- Avi (talk) 19:35, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2016-02-23. With only around a half-dozen non-bot, non-automated editors with more than 10 edits in the past 30 days (Pratyya himself only has 3 edits in the past 30 days), I do not believe that BnWikT is ready for permanent admins at this time. Also, while this will be Pratyya's fourth go round here, it is only the second time privileges will be of duration > 6 months, so I will extend temporary admin privileges for one more year. Hopefully, by this time in 2016, the project will have grown enough so that permanent adminship may be considered. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- Avi (talk) 17:52, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Uchup19@su.wikiquote

I just want the sundanese wikiquote be better, hope considered. Hatur nuhun. Uchup19 (talk) 07:56, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

On hold till 25 Feb.--Shanmugamp7 (talk) 11:40, 20 February 2015 (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.

--ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 10:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2: is there a local policy about inactivity? Would you please do a very short summary of its contents. Is there a local discussion that has taken place to which you can provide a wikilink? Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 10:16, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

düüvelskääl@kshwiki

inactivity: 3 visits in 4 years inactive since more than a year as per local policy thus all privileges must be removed, sysop privilege not used since 4 years. --Kasallamä (talk) 17:30, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like they were active as recent as yesterday. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That was last year. We've 2015 now. --Kasallamä (talk) 06:53, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold until 28 Feb 2015 Only a couple of days past a year. I have pinged the user on their talk page and asked them to respond here within the week.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:03, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Raghith@ml.wikipedia

Please remove my administrator privileges. Raghith (talk) 06:45, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:04, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.Ou0430 (talk) 07:32, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Funfood@commonswiki

    • While this is non-controversial, as commons is a home wiki for me, I'll hold off for now. There is no reason to wait 24 hours; the waiting occurred on the commons already. -- Avi (talk) 17:55, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done, thanks for their service. Ajraddatz (talk) 19:15, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Checkusers and oversighters on nowiki

We (the functionaries) came to the conlusion that the need for these tools on the Norwegian Wikipedia, since the volume is so low that the tools are rarely used, and hence we don't feel confident with how to use the tools when we need them. We would rather have this function served by the stewards, who are more competent in their use. The discussion where this was decided is archived on no:Wikipedia:Tinget/Arkiv/2014-48#Avslutning av IP-kontrollør funksjon (CU). If you require any information, translation or clarification, just ping me. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 19:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Jon for the explanation, this is a very responsible act. --Nemo 19:14, 23 February 2015 (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
