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 by a bot. Click here for a list of archives.

  • 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 pageEdit

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]]").

3. If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreementEdit

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.

RequestsEdit

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

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

Administrator accessEdit

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.

Htawmonzel@mnw.wiktionaryEdit

Status:    On hold

Mon Wiktionary is newly created. It don't have Edittools pages. For example in Myanmar Wiktionary there has code in wiktionary:my:MediaWiki:Edittools and wiktionary:my:MediaWiki:Edittools.js. We really need such of code in Mon Wiktionary. I would like to request for adminship as well as interface adminship for Mon Wiktionary. Htawmonzel (talk) 17:30, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

  On hold until 2021-04-08. Also @Htawmonzel: you'll need to enable 2FA in order to be granted interface admin access. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 18:46, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank @Martin Urbanec:, I have already install Authenticator in my smartphone. But I don't know how it works yet. --Htawmonzel (talk) 20:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
@Htawmonzel: Good. Did you read H:2FA please? Feel free to ask any questions you have after reading that guide. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:01, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
@Martin Urbanec:, yes, I have read it. I think I know how it works.--Htawmonzel (talk) 14:50, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Interface administrator accessEdit

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 accessEdit

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 accessEdit

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.
  • Temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by stewards.

Oversight accessEdit

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.

Removal of accessEdit

  • 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.

SPQRobin and StevenJ81 @ incubatorwikiEdit

Status:    Done
Status:    Done
Status:    Done
Status:    Done

Sadly, both of these users (and their sysop-flagged bot accounts) are inactive. Local policy: >>According to this policy, any sysop inactive on Incubator will be desysoped. "Inactive" means virtually no edits or log actions in the past twelve months.<< The inactivity has also been noted here. As an Incubator bureaucrat, I'm requesting the removal of their sysop and attached flags (crat, importer, translationadmin). --MF-W 14:42, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

  Done Flags removed. Please thank them for their service. I didn't touch TA and bot, since as a bureaucrat, you should be able to tackle that as needed. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:59, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Thanks; thanked. --MF-W 07:49, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requestsEdit

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

BureibuNeko@ZhWikiquoteEdit

Status:    Done

The request has been more than seven days, and I hope to get import permission for at least half a year. -- 海の向こうは敵だ！ 13:59, 4 April 2021 (UTC)

And I want to use it to import some templates. So I need this right, if you can handle it, I will be very grateful. Thanks!--海の向こうは敵だ！ 14:01, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
From which wiki do you want to import templates? Ruslik (talk) 20:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
@BureibuNeko: Ruslik (talk) 11:29, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ruslik0:Sorry to reply now, I expect to import the template on zhwiki and meta. Thanks!--海の向こうは敵だ！ 12:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
In this case the 'transwiki' permission will be sufficient. Ruslik (talk) 13:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
@Ruslik0:Sorry, I forgot to say that all I need is transwiki right.--海の向こうは敵だ！ 12:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
  Done for 6 months. Ruslik (talk) 20:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Đức Anh@viwikiquoteEdit

Status:    In progress

I'm currently an eliminator of this project. I want to continue in this work for another 3 months without voting. Đức Anh (talk) 10:43, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

You are actually a temporally administrator, not eliminator. I am afraid though, a new vote is still required. Ruslik (talk) 11:32, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
