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.

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: 

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

Administrator access

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.

Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson@iswiktionary

Status:    On hold

The project is very inactive. I have recently changed well over a thousand messages on translatewiki.net which concern the categorisation of the project, for instance tracking categories which MediaWiki expects to exist. I intend to fix some discrepancies as well as tidy up unneeded local messages. I do not expect that I will want to extend the user access level beyond the 3-month period. Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 10:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Same comment as above. EPIC (talk) 10:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson: Please also note that iswiktionary has 2 bureaucrats is:wikt:Kerfissíða:Notendalisti/bureaucrat. Have you tried contacting them first? EPIC (talk) 10:37, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did not think to it. Should I contact them to make me an administrator or to dump on them a workload of administrative actions to execute on my behalf? Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson (talk) 12:05, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If a wiki has local bureaucrats, we usually leave the task of adding new administrators to them. So, I suggest contacting them, and if they do not respond in a week or so, feel free to come back here and there shouldn't be a problem granting you adminship. EPIC (talk) 12:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 On hold I tried to reach the local 'crats. Let's wait for a week. Thanks --Superpes15 (talk) 14:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Stefán Örvar Sigmundsson: A local bureauccrat replied me that you posted the request on the wrong page. Please open a new request for adminship in the relevant page. Thanks! Superpes15 (talk) 17:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

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

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

かげろん@jawikibooks

Status:    In progress

Per local policy (長期に渡り不活動を継続する管理者は権限が除去されます。最後に活動が確認されてから2年以上、編集も権限行使もない管理者は、再信任投票の開始時点で自動的に退任となります。 [Administrators who remain inactive for an extended period of time will have their privileges removed. Administrators who have not made any edits or exercised their authority for more than two years since their last known activity will be automatically removed from office at the start of the re-confidence vote.]) A local discussion has been started two weeks ago. Last edit on 1 April 2021. Ameisenigel (talk) 08:19, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(non-admin/steward comment) I think a local admin should check if the interpretation of local policy is correct or not. Last year, I tried to do something similar, but I was told that my interpretation of local policy was not correct. MathXplore (talk) 13:39, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If I have understood last years discussion correctly the concerns was that there have not been two full years. Now we have the two full years (2022 + 2023). --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:09, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have contacted to an active local admin about this case. MathXplore (talk) 01:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am Tomzo, one of the administrators of ja.Wikibooks.
I am honestly confused by this request.
I understand that each Wikimedia project is allowed to have its own autonomy and is encouraged to operate under that autonomy. I believe that such a request at a higher level, such as META-WIKI, is unnecessary unless it is contrary to the principles of the Wikimedia project, for example, if the results of discussions by participants are not properly implemented by administrators.Therefore, the content of this request should be left to the autonomy of ja.Wikibooks.
The person making this request may have raised this issue at ja:b:Wikibooks:管理者の辞任#利用者:かげろん_2 and received no response, so he/she may have asked for a response here, but I would ask him/her to consider why no one responded there.
For the participants of the ja.Wikibooks community, the failure to follow "this" rule is in itself harmless in the normal course of activities. The rules are there to facilitate the project in the first place, not for the value of whether they are followed or not.And also I find it very odd that such a proposal was made by a member who does not participate in the general article writing activities of ja.Wikibooks.
As a member of the ja.Wikibooks community, I strongly object to the treatment of community participants being discussed here and hope this case is dismissed.--Tomzo (talk) 20:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you believe me or not, I am a big fan of the autonomy of individual Wikimedia projects. In this case there is a local policy that has been approved by the local community. This policy needs to be respected as long as the local community has not decided to change this policy. If jawikibooks community wants to change this policy they can do so. And then everyone will follow the new policy. Please show us if we have misunderstood the current local policy. I would be also interested in knowing how it helps your project if a user who has not edited since April 2021 keeps their advanced rights. --Ameisenigel (talk) 22:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you claim to respect the autonomy in ja.wikibooks, then you should cancel this proposal and return to the discussion in ja.wikibooks. Then, you should call on the participants of ja.wikibooks (of course, since ja.wikibooks is positioned as "a project of wikibooks in Japanese", the discussion will be conducted in Japanese) and ask them whether your argument is valid or not. To decide anything about the operation of ja.wikibooks here would be to deprive the participants of their right to self-governance without knowing where matters concerning them are being handled. If the resulting treatment is contrary to the principles of the Wikimedia Project, it is not too late to discuss it again here.--Tomzo (talk) 20:28, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was the one who started the local discussion at the appropriate venue and for the required amount of time. It is not my fault if no one participates in that discussion. --Ameisenigel (talk) 22:04, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trijnstel@global

Status:    Done
Status:    Done

Please remove my sysop flag on the Dutch Wikipedia and the sysop and checkuser flags on Commons. For years now my private life has been very busy and I don't see this change anytime soon. For that, it's not fair to keep flags without (or hardly) using them. From time to time I do enjoy editing though, so I won't disappear completely. Thanks to everyone I worked with in the past, it was a blast! Trijnsteltalk 10:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Trijnstel:  On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions EPIC (talk) 10:17, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
sysop@commons will be locally handled after the hold period. Krd 10:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, only CU flag will be removed then. EPIC (talk) 11:50, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sumurai8@nlwikipedia

Status:    Done

Please remove the sysop flag of Sumurai8. Since a few day he has come under the minimum edit count of 250 edits in one year, despite multiple warnings on his talk page that he was close to failing that criterion. See nl:Wikipedia:Regelingen rond moderatoren/English. The Banner (talk) 12:25, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done and many thanks for their service. EPIC (talk) 13:01, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
