Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
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. Minimum voting requirements 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.

Using this page

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 


==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
  |status     = <!--don't change this line-->
  |domain     =<!-- Such as en.wikibooks -->
  |user name  =
  |discussion = 
}}

Administrator access

[edit]

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.

I want to extend adminship & get interface adminship because there are no active administrators in our language project except me. And I am the only active editor since the section was created. — The preceding 17:52, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Къарачайлы the linked discussion doesn't seem to mention interface admin. Please explicitly mention all the permissions you want to get in the local discussion, even if there are no active community members. Johannnes89 (talk) 10:00, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok depending on how much text I insert in Google Translate it sometimes interprets the comment as opposing and sometimes as supporting. @DarqaviPalladin could you confirm if this 08:33, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Johannnes89: Since Google Translate doesn't have the language of the project the translation was indeed a bit off to me as well, but considering past supporting comments on pages like 08:39, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You have identified the translation correctly. Къарачайлы (talk) 17:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm my agreement! :) DarqaviPalladin (talk) 02:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Our language is not in Google Translate, you translated it incorrectly. "мен разыма" means I agree. The user @DarqaviPalladin wrote twice that he agrees. Къарачайлы (talk) 17:46, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a new Wikipedia. No admin yet. There are some new pages written in languages that are not Obolo language. I will like to remove the as soon as possible. I'll also like to do some general cleanups which can only be done by an admin. I've been an active contributor and admin since Incubator, and I think I can handle the adminship here in the live Wikipedia. Katelem (talk) 22:43, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Katelem community discussions should be open 7–14 days, but usually no longer than a month. The discussion you linked has been open for three months, which is usually too old for us to consider. It would be best if you could open a new section on that page asking for admin permissions again – we can grant adminship 7 days later even if there are no other users commenting on your request for adminship per MVR. --Johannnes89 (talk) 08:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I have now opened a new section and written a new adminship request. Katelem (talk) 17:16, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zakaria Tunsung Have you considered to request global sysop for help since it's currently a small project? Lemonaka (talk) 08:49, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Global sysops already have access to dgawiki. AramilFeraxa (talk) 10:29, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zakaria Tunsung the linked discussion is five months old. MVR expects discussions to run for 1-2 weeks, if it's much older than a month we usually consider it too old to act on it. Please start a new discussion and re-submit your request on this page after 1-2 weeks, we will then grant your admin permissions. --Johannnes89 (talk) 10:26, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

[edit]

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.

Bureaucrat access

[edit]
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

[edit]
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.
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list. Subscription to connect.

Oversight access

[edit]
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.

Miscellaneous requests

[edit]

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

Removal of access

[edit]
  • 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.
