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.

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

==== Username@xxproject ====

}}

I can only give a temporal sysop access for three months. Ruslik (talk) 19:43, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it can also be 1 year, since the user already had temporary access for 6 months twice. --MF-W 19:46, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why not permanently? Krol111 (talk) 17:47, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For (very) small communities we do not assign permanent adminship. Per MF-W, I would support a year.  — billinghurst sDrewth 00:15, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maksat@kywiki

Hi everybody, please continue my admin status in Kyrgyz Wikipedia. Thank You so much. Maksat (talk) 12:39, 20 September 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>

Wcam@zh.wikibooks

The user got long term inactive. After being nominated for removal of adminship, the user resigns. Please help removing his access. --J.Wong 16:53, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done per community discussion and in agreement with the user. Pundit (talk) 17:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Matheus Faria@pt.wikipedia

Please remove my sysop rights in pt.wiki. Thanks. --Matheus Faria (talk) 19:09, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for 24 hours, until 19:09, 19 September 2014 (UTC). Savhñ 19:13, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Removed, thanks for your work. Ajraddatz (talk) 22:20, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ravan@ar.wikipedia

Ravan did not do any administrative activity since more than nine months, while because of our local policy administrative rights should be removed after six months of sysop's absence. Thanks in advance --Abbas 21:12, 20 September 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Done, please thank them for their work. — TBloemink talk 21:54, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
