Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Shortcut:
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. 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.

Using this page

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

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

Administrator access

[edit]

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.

Doniyor Yóldoshev@kaawikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

Dear global wiki administrators, I have been a member of the wiki family for 2 years and 2 months, during which time I primarily worked for Kaawikipedia and Uzwikipedia. Until recently, I was an administrator at Kaawiki, but my term has expired. Today, I have submitted my candidacy again. Wikipedia is now growing, and I believe it needs more administrators to support new users. One of my goals as an administrator is to make extensive use of bots on Kaawiki. One of my goals as an administrator is to widely utilize the help of bots in Kawiki. Doniyor Yóldoshev (talk) 11:39, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-11-09. 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. EPIC (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done
request for admin and interface admin rights of Kavitha G. Kana for new tcywikisource, For IA rights user requested 2FA on Special:Diff/27728547.--~aanzx · ✉ · © 09:59, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-02-10. 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.
While there are many votes in the discussion most voters have no other edits besides voting in the discussion, which may indicate possible canvassing, thus why I'm granting for 3 months. For IA, since the user is a sysop they can now self-enroll at tcy:s:Special:OATH. EPIC (talk) 10:25, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC,as mentioned above this is newly created Wikisource, users who voted have edits on https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=ತುಳು&cat=1&wiki=sourceswiki , i will post IA rights once user confirms enabling 2FA, thanks. --~aanzx · ✉ · © 10:33, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

[edit]

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 access

[edit]
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 access

[edit]
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.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Oversight access

[edit]
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 requests

[edit]

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 access

[edit]
  • 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.

Laziz Baxtiyorov@uz.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

I request that you remove my administrator rights on the Uzbek Wikipedia. Following the forum results, where the majority opposed the request to revoke my rights on the Uzbek Wikipedia, there is now an attempt to accuse me of meatpuppetry. I do not want the continuation of my activities or rights to negatively impact other users, especially those who are at risk of facing accusations due to their opposing votes. I also do not wish for these users to face persecution as I have. Previously, Kamol Azzam encountered real harassment and physical violence when expressing an opposing view in the discussion of an article named Konsta. Currently, I am concerned that attempts are being made to identify the appearance of users who voted against the removal of my rights by finding their photos uploaded to [commons.wikimedia.org] (these images could be used for real harassment and psychological pressure). I worry that these users might also face real-life harassment in the future. For these reasons, I voluntarily request that you remove my rights. Laziz Baxtiyorov (talk) 16:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. EPIC (talk) 16:25, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hold on! The user has requested that his rights be voluntarily revoked to avoid being desysopped for egregious policy violations. See this discussion for more details.
'Previously, Kamol Azzam encountered real harassment and physical violence when expressing an opposing view in the discussion of an article named Konsta' — what does that have to do with this situation? And why didn't you, a sysop, report it on the administrator's noticeboard?
'I am concerned that attempts are being made to identify the appearance of users who voted against the removal of my rights by finding their photos uploaded to [commons.wikimedia.org]' — if you believe this is truly happening, please report it. Also, there are already close to 40 photos of you on Commons. Nataev talk 15:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In either case Done as a resignation under a cloud. I left the IA flag untouched since uzwiki policy doesn't seem to say that IAs need to be sysops. EPIC (talk) 16:27, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thank you! I'll go ahead and remove the IA flag as well. Recently, he messed up a template (1, 2, 3) used in thousands of articles without providing any edit summaries. The template ended up showing the age of deceased people as if they were still alive and the error went unnoticed for an entire week. Nataev talk 16:50, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Noting however that the template in question is only sysop protected, so the edit in question was related to the sysop rights rather than IA rights. EPIC (talk) 17:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, but the user made only a few edits in the MediaWiki namespace, and even when he did, he did not ensure the necessary templates were created, as in this case. Nataev talk 22:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Filtër keqpërdorimi@sq.wikipedia

Doğu@global

[edit]
Status:    Done

Unfortunately Doğu has resigned from the OC, so please remove Ombuds rights. @Doğu: Perhaps you can confirm this here publicly. And once again thank you for your work on the OC. Ameisenigel (talk) 12:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold Since the resignation request was posted by a third party, waiting for Doğu's confirmation. EPIC (talk) 12:24, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Confirmed. Thank you for the opportunity to serve on the Ombuds Commission.
—Doğu ( m ) 12:24, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That was quick. Done with thanks for your service on the OC. EPIC (talk) 12:26, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zyephyrus@en.wikisource

[edit]
Status:    Done

Following the news of Zyephyrus' death a couple of months ago, the removal of admin permissions is requested. The annual confirmation for this user was due next month and they have been inactive and we now know why. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 04:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Rest in peace, thanks for their service to the projects throughout the years. Noting for transparency that I also removed the remaining rights at sourceswiki, frwikisource and lawikisource, as well as locked the account. EPIC (talk) 09:53, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vituzzu@it.wikipedia

[edit]

Please remove my advanced bits (sysop and above), tbh I don't have time as of now. --Vituzzu (talk) 11:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. EPIC (talk) 11:07, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
