This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

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: 
    ====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = 
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
  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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
    • 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
  3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

Kimkha@viwikisource

Status:    In progress

Kimkha has the support of basically the entire (logged-in) community at the Vietnamese Wikisource and has been active in establishing article guidelines for the project. Our only permanent sysop has been missing-in-action for over a year. Thank you. Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:18, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By current standards, 3 votes are not enough for permanent sysop status. We'd be glad to grant temporary sysop status for say, 3 months, at first. --FiliP × 08:42, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

Shijualex@Malayalam Wikisource

Status:    In progress

--Jacob 02:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had some trouble deciphering which section of the discussion page was the 'crat election, I am sorry to say. Can someone give me some pointers to the section I should check? Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 02:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Translation added. --Jacob 18:57, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-ownerlists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

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 Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the request).

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above). 

====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = 
 |user name = 
 |discussion= 
}}

__Summary of discussion here__. Thank you! ~~~~

Iron Bishop@it.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Please remove Iron Bishop's sysop status due to failed reconfirmation poll. Policy Thank you Cotton 13:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi... I see this has sat for 2 days, which usually doesn't happen, so I decided to take a look. I got a bit confused. I don't speak Italian so I may have interpreted things wrong, but it appears to me that the policy says "La maggioranza richiesta per la riconferma è dei 2/3 (circa 67%) e, nel calcolo, non si contano gli astenuti." which I read as "about" 67% margin in favour of reconfirmation is required. I counted the votes and it appears to be 76 to 39. This is slightly below 2/3 but it may be within "about 2/3" depending on how "about" is interpreted (which would be a pass) or, if the wording is saying "exactly" 2/3 and pointing out that is "about" 67% then it would be a fail. So I didn't act because I wanted to double check. Has this outcome been discussed or certified by other it:wp admins, or by bureaucrats or whatever? Some clarification might help. (note, this is just me being uncertain and trying to be safe... some other Italian speaking steward may come along, look at this and say "of course, it's obvious what was meant"... but since no one had acted yet, I decided to try to determine what to do) Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 11:40, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well: 76 + 39 = 115 115*2/3 = 76.666 and 76 is a lower result. 76 + 39 = 115 115*67% = 77.05 . In both ways I.B obtained a smaller number of votes than what is required. The result hasn't been discussed, but I see that while I was waiting for your answer, two other sysop removed I.B. from our list [1]and archived the poll [2]. I suppose they agree with my conclusions. --Cotton 13:48, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Done ... Thank you for the clarification. If someone strongly disagrees they can raise it at it:wp and the local 'crats can restore it easily enough. And thanks to Iron Bishop for their service. Access removed. ++Lar: t/c 02:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary permissions or emergency or technical access

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the BetaWiki project instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Multilingual speedy deletions.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.

Sinan@az.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Thank you! 213.172.69.26 10:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

moved to temporary access - request - section. Hello, the community seems to small to grant permanent sysopship for now (I guess that is what You are requesting?), so I am suggesting a temporary period for 3 months, which is technically the same and can be prolonged. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 12:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Progress report? Please let us know how You decide, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:45, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alison@gvwiki

Status:    Done

Hi Stewards. I need temporary access on the Manx Wikipedia for strictly 2 days. The sole sysop over there is having major problems with userboxes & has discovered that there are problems with the css files in Mediawiki space. He's asked for my assistance on my gawiki talkpage (sorry - it's in a mix of Irish and Manx :/ ). It's one of those tweak-and-try jobs, and having sysop over there would allow me to fix it without having to ask him for every little change. I've been sysop over there a few times before for similar work. Thank you so much! Alison ❤ 15:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alison, status set, please let us know right here as soon as You are done, thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:11, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Birdy - will do! (oh, and that's infoboxes, not userboxes. D'oh!) - Alison ❤ 18:40, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is taking longer than I thought :/ Can you possibly extend this to two weeks, please? If I'm not done, I'm not done by then. RIght now, I've to overhaul all the Mediawiki js/css and all the Monobook defaults. Yuk! - Alison ❤ 07:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I guess we can simply make it to a normal temp-status: epxires: 15-01-2009, please remember, betawiki: etc :) Thanks for helping, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! How could I forget when I have you to remind me!! ^__^ - thanks, Birdy! :) - Alison ❤ 01:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yufereff@kv.wikipedia

Status:    Done

Ask for prolong my status for 3 months more.-- Yufereff 15:19, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, expries 01-02-2009, please remember to translate the interface at betawiki: only and to upload images preferably to commons:, thanks, please feel free to hold a local voting if the community grows or come back here a few days before Your status expires to prolong it, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| 16:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)

Reminder

  • Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
  • Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
  • Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
