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.

Administrator access

محمد الجداوي@ar.wiktionary

Status:    On hold

Hello. I was granted a temporary access that will end in 15 July. I demand extension of my adminship.M.Gedawy Talk 06:04, 11 July 2012 (UTC) [reply]

 On hold until 18 July. Trijnsteltalk 15:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Avgustos@jbo.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Hello. There has been one vote in favor of user AugPi (me) and none against. The vote was weak because "AugPi" is un-lojbanic (either that or because I missed the word "la'e" in the headline... which is needed to make the sentence refer to user AugPi instead of the name "AugPi"...). I created a new account, Avgustos, which is more lojbanic. There is no bureaucrat (or steward) on jbo.wiktionary to make anyone an admin (including me), so I have to recourse to making a request here. (There had been a recent proposal to close down jbo.wiktionary, one of the reasons in favor of which was the absence of any admin on jbo.wiktionary, so granting adminship to Avgustos might help the cause of jbo.wiktionary's survival...) —AugPi (t) 15:14, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the linked vote contains only input from 2 of your accounts, and it would seem as if you were thus exclusively self-elected? Pundit (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.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>

Biopresto@itwiki

Status:    On hold

Biopresto was inactive more than 6 months. According to the policies, his sysop access must be removed. Thanks, --Gnumarcoo 12:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please point us to the relevant policy? The user appears to be active as editor. -Barras talk 12:36, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On it.wiki, according to a 2008 survey, the administrators have to make admin-log in the last six months, not only edits or movements. --Gnumarcoo 12:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. However, this user performed two deletions in the past six months, so they don't qualify for removal, right? -Barras talk 12:48, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nope. Those actions were done 10 days after the term (which it was 20 of June). --Gnumarcoo 12:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO it would be better to leave them a notice and then ask for the removal, the ratio of all inactivity policies is to avoid having (semi)abandoned accounts with higher rights. --Vituzzu (talk) 13:00, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've already noticed him. He agrees with removal. --Gnumarcoo 13:05, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please provide a diff to the conversation. — billinghurst sDrewth 06:22, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Conversation was done via mail. However, Vituzzu is taking care about it. --Gnumarcoo 19:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Salvatore Ingala@itwiki

Status:    Done

As Biopresto, Salvatore didn't do any admin-actions in last 6 months. --Gnumarcoo 12:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please point us to the relevant policy? The user appears to be active as editor. -Barras talk 12:36, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
See above. --Gnumarcoo 12:44, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Done, per local policy and the user's agreement. Thank you for your services. Snowolf How can I help? 05:03, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Saluyot@ilowikipedia

Status:    On hold

Request removal of admin rights for inactive user per discussion on user's page and here with no adverse comments. User has been in-active since December 2009.--Lam-ang (talk) 06:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a particular inactivity policy on ilowiki? If so, where? Trijnsteltalk 14:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no particular policy for admin inactivity in ilowiki, the link included above is the discussion inviting the named inactive admins to participate in creating one, but with no comments from said admins or no adverse comments from anyone. My point is, what is the point of having admin rights if you're not using it to maintan the wiki. Would it be more satisfying to approving beurocrats here if I requested for comments here on meta?--Lam-ang (talk) 17:37, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oavcacananta@ilowikipedia

John Vandenberg@enwikipedia

Status:    Done

A new crop of oversighters and checkusers have been appointed, and I don't have time to remain actively using these tools. Please remove my oversight and checkuser rights on English Wikipedia. --John Vandenberg (talk) 05:12, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done per your request. If you wish to have your rights back, please do so at the appropriate venue. --Bsadowski1 (talk) 05:29, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thx. I think it is customary to ask Arbcom for oversight/checkuser rights back, so thats what I'll do. *shrug* John Vandenberg (talk) 05:41, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. Thank you for the service when you were a functionary. --Bsadowski1 (talk) 06:06, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sanderd17@nlwikibooks

Status:    Done

Sanderd17 has not been active at all for more than a year, and let us know by email he was unlikely to come back and certainly no need for retaining his moderator rights (Google translation). Erik Baas (talk) 11:19, 14 July 2012 (UTC) (bureacrat on on.wikibooks)[reply]

Done. Trijnsteltalk 12:04, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

अनुनाद सिंह@hiwikipedia

Status:    In progress

Continuously attacking multiple users (violating fourth point ("Editors should interact with each other in a respectful and civil manner") of the Panchsheel (local fundamental principles, similar to five pillars)), making ethnic comments, using inflammatory language, not following local policies, engaging in aggressive point-of-view editing. User has accepted all the allegations against him and has supported the proposal ("मैं अपना मत इस प्रस्ताव के समर्थन में देता हूँ। अर्थात अनुनाद सिंह को प्रबन्धक पद से मुक्त किया जाय और विकिपिडिया पर उन्हें प्रतिबन्धित किया जाय।" — "I give my support in favour of this proposal. Meaning, अनुनाद सिंह should be relieved of his administrator status/post and be blocked from Wikipedia).--Bill william compton (talk) 15:24, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Invalid reason for stewards. Please, make decision locally and then ask stewards to remove permissions. --Millosh (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Reopening. Apparently they did so, by the page he's linked above. CC Jyothis who can speak lil' indi for our assistance. — MA (audiencia) 10:10, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously, I should read more carefully... --Millosh (talk) 10:26, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I will read thru and let you know. --Jyothis (talk) 11:20, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, this is not a rationale for de-sysoping. This is the summary of what is written there. Please take the disciplinary action as requested because he's just not stopping. Referring "crocodile tears" to people [in his latest comment] is farther away from civilized behaviour, which one could expect at any encyclopaedia, thank you and best regards.--Bill william compton (talk) 03:31, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Spacebirdy@afwiktionary

Status:    Done

I don't edit there anymore and even less would I use admin/bureaucrattools, no time, no need, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 17:13, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for your work there the past almost five years. Trijnsteltalk 17:40, 14 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

AssassinsCreed@itwikiquote

Status:    Done

Request removal of admin rights, AssassinsCreed (talk) 09:34, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Admin permissions removed. Bureaucrat permissions left. If you want removal of bureaucrat permissions as well, please confirm that. --Millosh (talk) 15:56, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
@Millosh: Usually we remove the bureaucrat rights too as you can't be a bureaucrat without being an administrator. Trijnsteltalk 16:07, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I decided to remove them now straight away as all new admins on itwikiquote automatically get 'crat rights too, see q:it:Special:Log/rights. Trijnsteltalk 16:10, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for info. I just wanted to be conservative in removing permissions :) --Millosh (talk) 16:54, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seksen@trwikinews

Status:    Done

I would like the removal of my bureaucrat and sysop access on Turkish Wikinews. Seksen is my ex-user name (see the relevant logs). Thanks. --Seksen iki yüz kırk beş (talk) 18:57, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted your user page on this Wiki (Meta-Wiki), but could you point me to the "relevant logs"? Has this block anything to do with this request? Trijnsteltalk 19:09, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have written the details incorrectly, apologies for that. See it here. That block has very much to do with this request. After being blocked indefinitely for accused trolling ([17], current discussions on the block: [18] [19]), I feel I cannot contribute to the Turkish-language Wikimedia projects anymore, so there is no reason for me to keep this access. --Seksen iki yüz kırk beş (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, granted. Pundit (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

E THP@gagwiki

Status:    In progress

hi.gagWiki is not bureaucrat.I need to access.

  1. .Donation bot flag.
  2. .checkuser Require.
  3. .Management to become permanent.
  4. ...

Thank you.E THP (talk) 18:34, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi E THP.
  1. The bot owner has to request the bot flag himself on Steward requests/Bot status IIRC.
  2. Do you want to *have* CU rights, or do want a CU to be *performed*? We can't do the first, but the second one should be requested on Steward requests/Checkuser.
  3. For that you have to start a local discussion, for example in the local village pump - for now it'll be expire in September.
Kind regards, Trijnsteltalk 19:16, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi.Not active user on the Wiki(gag).I have my request.E THP (talk) 08:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
