Steward requests/Permissions

< Steward requests
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.

Meta-Wiki requests

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.

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.

(I am requesting for interface and general administrator rights for Luganda wikipedia. I'm a native fluent Luganda language speaker based in Uganda. Thank you.Geossegawa (talk) 18:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Geossegawa: Do you have any experience in performing sysop/interface sysop tasks (and what tasks do you plan to perform)? Thanks! Superpes15 (talk) 21:35, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Superpes15 as a professional and practicing librarian I believe I have the minimum experience required for the task. On the tasks I intend to perform, they are; 1. help improve on the Luganda language that is used on Luganda wikipedia to help ease editing and article creation (Luganda is a very vast and huge language but I found that most of the words used on the key features is very advanced that even a native who hasn't taken interest in studying the language can fail to understand what the words mean. I thus believe it's high time we changed such documentation to a more simpler and easily understandable Luganda) 2. We also face a challenge of templates much as they're several templates on the English wikipedia, the Luganda wiki lacks most of those . This in return has affected the quality of the articles on Luganda wikipedia. 3. There exists a number of auto translated articles that need to be improved but there are those that also need deletion completely. 4. The other issue is about our main page. The Luganda wikipedia currently has over 3300 articles but only a few (old) articles appear on the main page as feature articles day in day out. At times they don't even resonate with the current stories that people search about. To some of those articles, even when you improve their content the system continues to preview them in their old form. Thank you Geossegawa (talk) 05:11, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am inclined to give you administrator rights for one month and then we can review how well it went for you. From what you wrote here it is not clear to me that you have a solid understanding of what administrators do (some of the things you have listed you can do without administrator flag), but I see no harm in letting you try and ask questions if you feel stuck with some problem. That said, as to the interface administrator rights, could you clarify what do you need those for and also if you have any understanding of CSS and JavaScript? Also I do not see you mentioning interface administrator flag in your request for adminship, so you will need to ask the community separately about it. --Base (talk) 17:42, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Geossegawa (missed ping) --Base (talk) 17:43, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I have no objection with your idea of offering me one month but would be able to do more once offered a slightly longer period of time probably three months. Regarding the interface administrator flag and the community request I go ahead and ask but the community at lg.wikipedia isn't one that attracts much of the responses so it will end here anyway Geossegawa (talk) 18:29, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Icem4k@nywikipedia

edit
Status:    Done

I am writing to formally request the reinstatement of my Regular Adminship rights, along with the addition of Interface Adminship privileges. The Interface rights would enable me to effectively address and resolve issues with broken CSS and JSON pages, which often disrupt user experience and site functionality. Having previously held admin privileges, I am well-acquainted with the responsibilities and challenges that come with the role. During my tenure, I actively tackled issues such as vandalism, spam, and technical concerns, contributing to the smooth functioning of our platform. I am eager to resume this role and continue supporting our community with the same dedication and effectiveness. Thank you for considering my request. Isaac Kanguya✌ (talk) 09:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold until 3 January 2025. EPIC (talk) 11:17, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Granted for 2 years to expire on 2027-01-05. 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. (for regular adminship)
  On hold for interface adminship, pending response to email. EPIC (talk) 18:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Also   Done for interface adminship, with the same expiry as the sysop flag. EPIC (talk) 22:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I ask to give me administrator access to develop the Kazakh Wiktionary as there are no administrators now and I would like to make it convenient and informative for users. I opened a local request to vote, but because there are no admins or active users, no one has ever responded to the request. Murat Karibay (talk) 19:29, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May I request to renew my admin and interface admin rights for Shan Wikinews. Thanks.Saimawnkham (talk) 02:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Granted for 6 months to expire on 2025-07-05. 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) 18:36, 5 January 2025 (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.

Status:    On hold

Hello, this is a request for interface adminship in Gorontalo Wiktionary. Thanks -- Marwan Mohamad (talk) 11:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold as your account does not meet the security requirements for the role. I've sent you an email with instructions. EPIC (talk) 11:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC

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.

OJJ@cs.wikipedia

edit
Status:    On hold

OJJ was elected as a Czech Wikipedia checkuser, I just closed the elections as a Czech Wikipedia bureaucrat. Please assign the CU permissions to them. Thank you! Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold pending on the candidate's signature of the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (see instructions) and Wikimedia Foundation confirmation of the same. EPIC (talk) 17:30, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information was signed, but I would like to keep my real name private.
Thank you! OJJ (talk) 04:15, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
