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 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-stewards^connect 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 approval of your local community.

Using this page

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request (or other means of confirming that the request has approval), and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

==== Username@language-code project-name ====

Thank you. ~~~~

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.

Ilya Voyager@ruwikibooks

Local request: b:ru:Викиучебник:Заявки_на_статус_администратора#Ilya Voyager

— VasilievV ² 04:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done and please use the full form next time. Thanks --FiLiP ¤ 08:00, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm terribly sorry for this, but it seems to me that I've overlooked some things. Namely, it's best not to give permanent sysop status on ru.wikibooks, since all the recent commotion over there. So, I have to limit this status to temporary only. The period is six months, which can be extended, if the user wishes (when the time comes). So, this adminship expires on July 26, 2008. Again, I apologize for this inconvenience. --FiLiP ¤ 10:35, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. 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-owner@wikipedia.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 here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

ＮｉＫｅ@ja wikipedia

I request removal sysop access of following user.

Language Code: ja
Local Confirmation/Request Link: w:ja:Wikipedia:管理者の解任/ＮｉＫｅ 20080110
Local User Page: w:ja:User:ＮｉＫｅ

Thank you. Hatukanezumi 13:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 13:44, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here. You should add the difflink 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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request removal of access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision-->
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]

Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation.

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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the list of sysops and bureaucrats, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request temporary sysop access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''List of local sysops:''' 
*'''List of local bureaucrats:'''
*'''Local Request Link:''' 
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]
*'''Preferred duration and reason:''' 
Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

MF-Warburg@lawiktionary

I request temporary sysop access.

Language Code: lawiktionary
List of local sysops: la:wikt:Special:Listadmins
List of local bureaucrats: la:wikt:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
Local User Page: la:wikt:User:MF-Warburg
Preferred duration and reason: some days to delete the candidates for speedy deletion.

Thank you. MF-Warburg 18:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry Not done, as far as I can see Mycēs is active, please leave him a note to do the deletions first, contact me if he does not respond or if some urgent vandalism is occuring, thanks for Your understanding, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 18:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serhat@tr wikibooks

I request temporary sysop access.

Language Code: tr
List of local sysops: tr:b:Special:Listusers/sysop
Local Request Link:tr:b:Vikikitap:Yöneticiler#Serhat
List of local bureaucrats: tr:b:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat
Local User Page: tr:b:User:Serhat
Preferred duration and reason:I request temporary sysop access for two months. Because I want to translate and edit the Wikibooks Turkish's interface

Thank you.Srhat 14:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done There's a bureaucrat who should give you sysop access. … But there's even a sysop active. —DerHexer (Talk) 14:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do interface-translations at betawiki: only, create an account there, add a link on Your local userpage to the tr.wikibooks one and request for translator-status at betawiki:Betawiki:Translator, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 15:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification Srhat. ::Please can You open a local request too, because at least one other sysop is active there. Also I suggest You to write Dbl2010 an email afterwards, he is not active but easily reached via email normally. Please let us know if he does not respond, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 12:20, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On hold. Thanks Serhat. Dbl2010 seems to be inactive on trbooks, he did not respond to an email of Serhat according to him, since the other sysop is in favor of this, and the interface changes are not meant to be translations (but specifications for wikibooks) I suggest to wait a few days (to give possible other users the chance to express their opinion too) and then grant temp-sysop status, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 20:37, 24 January 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.)
