This page is for requests to have stewards grant or revoke administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights on Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. Please check the sidebar to the right to see whether your request belongs better elsewhere. Specifically, bot requests, requests for CheckUser information and global rights requests belong on their respective pages.

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).

Interface translations are done at Betawiki. Please do not request administrator access for that purpose; your request will be declined.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards^connect IRC channel (web client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help. Otherwise, you can use @steward to gain attention if the channel is quiet.

Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community. Please note that the "temporary access" section was removed due to redundancy. Please add your request for temporary sysopship to the administrator section.

Using this page

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! ~~~~

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]]").
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 removal of access belong in another section. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be 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 Steward requests/Speedy deletions.

Stewards: Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; copy granted requests to the appropriate section there, stating the date of removal in the section header and at the bottom of the request. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
Archiving: 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. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.

For permanent sysopship please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary sysopship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

Bureaucrat access

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

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 before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. 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-ownerlistswikimediaorg so the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards, or email oversight-llistswikimediaorg 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

If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place 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 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).

==== username@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = 
 |user name =  
 |discussion= <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
}}

Aturantekin@ugproject

Status: Not done

Wiki: ug.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
User: Aturantekin (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

What do you really request? You have filed this under removal of access, but you do not have any special access on that project... Laaknor 09:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not done as no information has been provided in several days. --FiliP ██ 08:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nakor@fr.wikipedia

Status: Not done

Wiki: fr.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • ~~no standard bot policy~~ • summary • 'crats rights)
User: Nakor (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
Discussion: In agreement with fr:Wikipédia:Prise de décision/Administrateur/Suspension et retrait du statut en cas d'inactivité prolongée ou de démission I request the temporary removal of my sysop status for a maximum period of 1 year.

It seems than Nakor wants a sysop flag withdrawn after an user complaint.

Can we defer this request some 24 hours delay to let Nakor confirm its resignation? It's not an emergency. Especially, it's not in agreement with the policy linked, which cover sysop absenteism. --Dereckson 18:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More precisely, Nakor have no warranty to recover automatically its status in the current circumstances, so this temporary removal could be definitive. --Dereckson 19:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stewards can not grant you temporary removal (regranting sysop-rights are up to the local community). If you wish to have it removed permanently, please say so. Laaknor 19:18, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The situation is cleared now after a talk on IRC. According Darkoneko and Blinking Spirit, local 'crats, it'll can request regrant sysop flag and obtain it. This, not according the ruling cited in discussion but by common sense. So it's safe for Nakor to get a removal, as he have the warranty to recover its flag. My only thought on that is the thing is not useful : if a sysop wants to sanction itself with temporary flag removal, this user can also choose not to use sysop functionalities without requesting one a steward removal, secondly a local 'crat regrant. --Dereckson 19:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cancelled per Dereckson and Clem23 advice. Sorry for the trouble. Nakor 19:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem at all. Good luck with more sysoping for the fr.wikipedia-community ;) Laaknor 19:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

430072@zh.wikipedia

Status: Done

Wiki: zh.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy_{[no automatic approval]} • summary • 'crats rights)
User: 430072 (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
Discussion: remove sysop rights (link to relevant section).

Hi, Please remove sysop rights of user 430072 @ zh.wikipedia. has been inactive for 6 months, and still no edit for 1 month after notification. Per local policy, please remove his sysop flag. Thanks. Best ragrds.(I am a bureaucrat on zh Wikipedia.)--Mywood 07:24, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sysop Flag removed --Mardetanha ^talk 07:57, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Calvero@ja.wikipedia

Status: On hold

Wiki: ja.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy_{[no automatic approval]} • summary • 'crats rights)
User: Calvero (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
Discussion: ja:Wikipedia:管理者の辞任#管理者の自動退任

He/She is inactive from 3 months ago. According to desysop policy, I request to remove his/her sysop access. Thank you. --Hisagi 10:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please leave a message on his user talk prior to right removal? Thank you,--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 10:40, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese Wikipedia provides as a policy that the sysopship should be taken away from an administrator who is inactive for recent three months. Thus, most users of Japanese Wikipedia don't believe that it is nessecary to leave a message on his/her talkpage prior to request. (Rather, we usually tell him/her after the removal.) Even so, should we let him/her know right removal?--Ariesmarine 12:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done Nope, you shouldn't, it would be just a nice gesture :)--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 13:54, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.

Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages:

Local or global bot status
Other global rights, requests regarding global blocking, and requests regarding locking accounts
URL blacklisting
Requests for CheckUser information
Changing your username on Meta
Changing your username or usurping an account on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats
