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. Minimum voting requirement are listed here.

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 page

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 this is for multiple users, leave this field blank and give a list of these users in your remarks.
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]"). This should normally be for at least one week, but no more than three weeks (if so, you'll need to restart the process).

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

Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement

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.

Requests

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

==== Username@xxproject ====

 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->

 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

@Abshirdheere: You were asked for some clarification regarding some issues with changes proposed by you on the titleblacklist. Could you answer these? Savhñ 13:50, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Savh:, Has not asked me anything, but he wanted to tell him if there any abuse cases, and for the moment I do not have any abuse cases.

I'm always walking around in the Encyclopedia if I find a good thing i move to our local language, this is why i put titleblacklist bad names Such as who calls himself the names of the tribes.

I followed the basic rules such be bold, I have so many contributions in different, I translated so.wiki, and i have a lot of improvements such template so.Main Page, so far I do not understand why my request was delayed so long.

Adville@sv.wikiversity

I have a temporary adminship on sv.wikiversity after writing on the village pump (two following headlines) and starting an admin vote with two positive and zero negative. (I am also an admin on svwp and a board member of Wikimedia Sverige, my user page there. I think sv.wikiversity needs to get permanent Swedish speaking admins to make it easier for the developement of Wikiversity. I have under my short adminship helped to move pages by requests from users because they knew I could and they needed urgent help. I am well known in the sv-comunity so they know how to reach me. Adville (talk) 20:57, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

With only two votes, I am not willing to grant permentant adminship. However, if you start another vote for a week, I can extend your current admin rights for another 6 months. Regards, Ajraddatz (talk) 21:35, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gobbler@el.wikivoyage

I am asking for temp adminship. I need to manage pages (rename, delete, protect from editing) and change wiki interface for a better site maintenance. I made my local announcement on 2014-04-30 and got three supports. Since our community is very small, I couldn't have a better luck. --Gobbler (talk) 23:04, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nahum@hewikisource

Hi! I, he:s:user:Nahum, request CheckUser access as per local vote. Thanks! The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nahum (talk • contribs) 23:22, 1 May 2014‎ (UTC)

Already identified. LlamaAl (talk) 05:14, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not done, per the CheckUser policy, which requires at least 25 support votes. I only see 11 votes, including your own vote. "If an insufficient number of voters vote for at least two CheckUsers on a wiki, there will be no CheckUsers on that wiki". Please read and understand the CheckUser policy. Savhñ 06:59, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, the relevant policy on our wiki states 10 votes are enough for Checkuser. Did that change? Nahum (talk) 00:35, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As far as checkuser is concerned stewards apply only the global policy. Ruslik (talk) 05:40, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>
