Steward requests/Permissions
← Requests and proposals | Steward requests (Permissions) | latest archive→ |
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.
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.

Meta-Wiki requests |
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
Administrator accessEdit
See Administrator for information about this user group.
- If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
- Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-adminconnect.
- 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.
TayfunEt.@ugwikipediaEdit

- User: TayfunEt. (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
- Discussion: ug:Wikipedia:باشقۇرغۇچىلار
In Uyghur Wikipedia is the administrator years ago not active and in many pages happens vandalism. And I decided to be administrator, the problem is that there are actually not correctly active users who can vote. TayfunEt. (talk) 19:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Enkhsaihan2005@bxr.wikipediaEdit
- Wiki: bxr.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)

- Discussion: w:bxr:wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#Enkhsaihan2005
Hi, I have been administrator of Buryat Wikipedia for over 9 months and I am one of 2 administrator there. I'd like to continue administrating Buryat Wikipedia. --Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 18:32, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
Interface administrator accessEdit
See Interface admin for information about this user group.
- If you need to accomplish one-time, non-recurring task, please request your task at Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- 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
- 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
- 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 .
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, notify listowners checkuser-l-owner lists.wikimedia.org, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacyconnect and #wikimedia-checkuserconnect.
Oversight accessEdit
- 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 .
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.
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:
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.
Zhxy 519@zhwikisourceEdit
- Wiki: zh.wikisource.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
- Discussion: s:zh:Topic:Wuir0v1gqhndz5e1
I request the suspension of administrator access of User:Zhxy 519 until the desysop process for User:Zhxy 519 on zhwikisource ends. Reason: He blocks another administrator User:Jusjih on zhwikisource for submitting a formal desysop request of User:Zhxy 519 himself following the desysop process. This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour for an administrator on a small wiki. Midleading (talk) 10:42, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
Collapsing extended discussion: Stewards are aware of this and discussing this on stewards-l. — regards, Revi 19:02, 30 April 2022 (UTC) |

Abuse filter@nvwikiEdit

- User: Abuse filter (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
nvwiki has this abuse filter account. AlPaD (talk) 12:13, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- This is a system account, and remove the rights wouldn't make sense. Thingofme (talk) 08:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Thingofme: Hello! Yes, but now nvwiki is using another Abuse filter account. see AlPaD (talk) 16:55, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
- (That's why a consistent Abuse filter account name across projects is needed I guess) —— Eric Liu(Talk) 19:55, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
- I don't think the system will regrant sysop rights automatically to that user if w:nv:MediaWiki:Abusefilter-blocker has something else written.--SRuizR 16:57, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- Out of curiosity, what will MediaWiki do if the name written in that system message is invalid (e.g. contains
#
,|
or similar)? NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 17:32, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

The user made their last rename more than a year ago at 10:36, 18 May 2021 (UTC), as per the policy, their global renamer rights should be removed. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 07:12, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
