SRP

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. The list of archives is below.

  • Requests for bot flags are handled at SRB, and requests for global permissions are handled at SRGP.
  • 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.

Cross-wiki requests
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

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.

Kuldeepburjbhalaike@pawikipediaEdit

Status:    Done

Temporary rights for six months would be ideal. Satdeep Gill (talk) 04:06, 19 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Granted for 6 months to expire on 2023-11-22. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks.
@Satdeep Gill: I granted the temp rights after reading the discussion, in 6 months we can grant permanent flag, if there is local consensus :) --Superpes15 (talk) 23:19, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Tmv@ja.wikivoyageEdit

Status:    Done

This account received 7 upvotes in a vote to become an admin. This account will be reappointed. Apply for an interface administrator at the same time as an administrator.--式守与兵衞勝盛 (talk)

  Granted for 2 years to expire on 2025-05-22. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. --Superpes15 (talk) 23:21, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

De Wikischim@nl.wikinewsEdit

Status:    Not done

It looks like my sysop rights for this local project have expired as of today. This is cumbersome as there's again vandalism right now. There are no other structurally active contributors at Wikinews-nl at the moment, so a separate voting procedure may be useless (and only takes time from others). De Wikischim (talk) 08:23, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I support the prolongation of the administrator rights of De Wikischim. He is still active on Wikinews. Ymnes (talk) 09:42, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  Not done This is not the place to express support and we still require a 7 day discussion even if there are no votes on the relevant place that it's posted. Please see MVR for the rules. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:40, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Permanent administrator rights / Several users@smnwikiEdit

Status:    Not done

A vote was started on October 18th, 2022 to select permanent administrators for the Inari Sámi Wikipedia (smnwiki), which resulted in the following five users being elected:

These users have served as administrators on the Inari Sámi Wikipedia since the beginning, and they would like to be granted permanent admin rights. -Muotâ (talk) 12:27, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Not done I appreciate the efforts to form a consensus, but there is no way that we can let an RFP run and still be valid 7.5 months later. The minimum timeline is about 1 week, the maximum I'd come to accept is likely 3 weeks. Beyond that, your voting structure makes it hard to verify that people voted. You may wish to consider modeling like others who post here. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:37, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]


Anthonymunthali44@tumwikiEdit

Status:    In progress

Hello, their rights expired a week ago. Requesting regular sysop for them. Voting run for more than 5 weeks to make sure everyone ever notices the request, though we are the only most active natives there. Thank you.-- Tumbuka Arch★★★ 00:05, 29 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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.

Kaganer@ruwikimediaEdit

Status:    Done

This is working and public outreach wiki for Wikimedia Russia. Due our chair and Bureaucrat was suddenly lost his post and surrendered his flags, we would like this access for two trusted members (see also second request below). Kaganer (talk) 18:45, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ctac@ruwikimediaEdit

Status:    Done

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 .

דגש@hewikipediaEdit

Status:    Done

Hello, According to the results of the vote in the local project, I will apply for a CheckUser permission on the Hebrew Wikipedia. Voting link: w:he:ויקיפדיה:בודק/בחירת בודקים - 29. I previously had CheckUser permission, so I have a valid signature. דגש (talk) 06:27, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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.

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

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.

drbug@ru.wikipedia.orgEdit

Status:    Not done

See below. Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 16:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

drbug@ru.wikimedia.orgEdit

Status:    Done

Dear colleagues! I ask to remove my access at ru.wikipedia.org and ru.wikimedia.org because I'm starting a new project (which is a Wikimedia projects fork), and there may be signs of conflict of interest. I'm still faithful to the Wikimedia Vision. Thank you! Dr Bug (Vladimir V. Medeyko) 16:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •   Done. Since I am aware of these situation, I do not wait 24 hours before removing rights. --Mykola 16:53, 24 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Adam Shorland (WMDE)@testwikidataEdit

Status:    Done

Per [1] Adam is no longer working for WMDE. Staff rights have already been removed but crat could just be removed by Stewards. (No idea why we grant crat to staff who do not need it.) --Ameisenigel (talk) 21:10, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Submajstro@ukwikiEdit

Status:    Not done

a user using administrator rights has been harassing me for a long time. He is currently seeking some administrative sanctions for his bias. I ask the stewards to immediately intervene in this situation to prevent abuse by this administrator and pressure on other administrators with the aim of punishing me or even blocking me based on fictitious data, but in fact only the wishes of this user. Thank you. Jphwra (talk) 18:43, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  Not done that project has ~46 other sysops that could intervene and block a disruptive administrator, I do not see an emergency situation immediately disruptive to that entire project that would require urgent action, if you have evidence of such please provide. — xaosflux Talk 20:51, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
OK. See, he does it absolutely systematically, in addition to these two cases, there were also the following and this is only a part: Архів_48, Хід_конем. I still can't find it now, but I think this is enough to draw conclusions about systematic persecution by the administrator. --Jphwra (talk) 04:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
An emergency would be something like - they are deleting all the articles, blocking 100 users, defacing the main page -- a dispute between a few users is not an emergency that we would step in for. — xaosflux Talk 09:12, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
that's good, but what about endless harassment and threats of blocking and sanctions? Moreover, it has been going on since the moment when he had the first nickname Basio. The problem has been ongoing since May 2017. He intervenes in all discussions that concern me, and there is an immediate accusation in my direction, and it does not matter whether I am really guilty or not. If this is not a reason to deprive the administrator of his rights, then at least you should warn him about the consequences in case of continuation of such in the future. Thank you. Jphwra (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If this is "has been ongoing since May 2017", please seek resolution at local venues. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:00, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
the locals don't really react to that. At one time, only Yakudza simply explained to him about polite communication and wrote the other day that he should be accepted as he is. This is not at all what I expected. Because these permanent biased attacks will primarily harm me as an editor and show me in a negative light for no reason. That is why I am forced to turn to the stewards so that it stops. Jphwra (talk) 20:38, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Xaosflux:, @1234qwer1234qwer4: I will turn to the administrative office to resolve this matter in essence. Thank you. --Jphwra (talk) 05:15, 28 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
