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.

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.

Turkmen@az.wikisource

Status:    In progress

25/0/0 thanks --Araz Yaquboglu (talk) 16:40, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some of these users have very low edit counts on azwikisource. Stewards might want to take a closer look at this one. --Rschen7754 18:15, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

MIKHEIL@ka.wikipedia

Status:    In progress

According to local policy If an administrator within 3 months doesn't make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting. In last three-month periods he has not made the required 500 edits; see 25 February—25 May (483 total). In Georgian Wikipedia, Bureaucrats can't remove sysop rights, and therefore I apply to stewards on Meta-Wiki. Best regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 19:54, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@გიო ოქრო: Should the bureaucrat right be removed as well? Ruslik (talk) 08:57, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: No, because that rule don't includes bureaucrat right. გიო ოქრო (talk) 09:10, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@გიო ოქრო: Bureaucrats override admins for they can grant people admins. Chances are that once a steward removes the admin access of MIKHEIL, it could be soon granted by MIKHEIL themselves. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 09:29, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Super Wang: Yes, there are. But I think MIKHEIL will not do it. I just apply you about the administrator right. Do it as you decide. გიო ოქრო (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion that should (more likely) have happened locally
Administrator rights from Mikheil can be taken away only after filing an request in the Georgian Wikipedia and after discussion there can be administrative actions. So, while at the local level the issue is not resolved there is nothing to discuss. I'm waiting for request at the local level, and without the decision of the local community, the administrative actions of the steward are not welcomed. --Mehman 97 13:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
„If an administrator within 3 months doesn't make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting (automatically)“ — There is no need for discussion. Georgian Bureaucrats can't remove sysop rights. გიო ოქრო (talk) 13:49, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ვიკიპედია:ადმინისტრატორები/ადმინისტრატორის_სტატუსის_მოხსნა — It is not written that I don't have the right to request on Meta and I have to request in the local wiki first. გიო ოქრო (talk) 13:56, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In 2014 MIKHEIL himself applied to Meta-Wiki and demanded to resign 4 administrators (Zangala, BRUTE, Giorgi13, Island). He did not make any request in Georgian Wikipedia and directly wrote a resignation request. He indicated only the discussion of introduction of the rule. There was no local discussion. Now, when there is rule, there is no need for local discussion. Best regards გიო ოქრო (talk) 15:04, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
2014 case there was a discussion and elections where they took the appropriate decision (please do not mislead people). When the question is about 17 editing and because of this, asking for removing status, perhaps a discussion is required here. Without a local discussion, the status cannot be removing and everyone should respect the decision of the local community, no one has the right to bypass the opinion of the community. This is not a place for discussion, so submit request at the local level and continue the discussion there. Kindly, --Mehman 97 15:14, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Repeat the same: „If an administrator within 3 months does not make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting (automatic)- There is no need for discussion and community can not stop resignation if sysop has not made the required 500 edits. Show me rule that says, that I can't apply to Meta-Wiki. გიო ოქრო (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For context stewards might want to review Requests for comment/Vote of confidence on sysops and unblock for user Deu on kawiki. And good luck to whomever makes a call on this. --Rschen7754 15:48, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In the discussion reported by Mehman, the new rule is discussed and does not include resignation of concrete administrators. In Georgian Wikipedia there is page (ვიკიპედია:ადმინისტრატორები/სტატუსის მოხსნა), where you can demand the resignation of sysop, but the community can't stop that process, if sysop has not made the required edits. So, the application in Georgian Wiki makes no sense, because the community does not solve the result (the result of discussion of community is that RULE) and the bureaucrats can not remove the status. For these reasons I apply here and not in Georgian Wiki. There is no rule that prohibits this. Please act according to the rules and remove sysop rights from MIKHEIL. Best regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 20:02, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's super that Rschen7754 noted Requests for comment/Vote of confidence on sysops and unblock for user Deu on kawiki. Keep in mind that this request is made by a person who has a personal dislike for MIKHEIL. I’m not going to continue the discussion here, which should be conducted at the local level, but at the end I’ll add that there are not enough 17 editing and this number is not a reason for removing the status, so this issue should be decided by the consensus at the local level (administrator who has more than 400 editing is clearly not a passive admin). Kindly, --Mehman 97 22:37, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have personal dislike for MIKHEIL and for other users. The rule is the rule (MIKHEIL supported himself during the voting). The rule don't includes "more than 400 edits". He (MIKHEIL) did not made required edits, and therefor sysop rights must be remove. There is a consensus at the local level — indentured rule supported by the majority of active users. According that rule discussions and consensus are not required and the rights should be automatically removed. Regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 06:29, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

According to the local rules, sysop status from MIKHEIL must be removed without discussion and vote, only by the stewards of Meta-Wiki; discussion on local level and decision of the local community is no longer needed (This is written in the rule — „If an administrator within 3 months does not make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting (automatically)“). He is not an active editor. He made 483 edits in three months (from which 70-80% was Usertalk) and he has not made the required edits. Local rules don't say that I don't have the right for request on meta-wiki, especially that the Georgian bureaucrats can't remove sysop rights. @Super Wang, Ruslik0, -revi, and Tegel: and other stewards, please summarize that issue and make a decision. Best regards, გიო ოქრო (talk) 20:49, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@გიო ოქრო:It may be disappointing, but far from your prediction, I am not a steward. Sorry for being unable to assist you. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 23:25, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Just to show an identical case, the rules of pt.wiki also allow a user to be a bureaucrat, but not an sysop (and there we also have bureaucrats who are not sysops). A few years ago I asked for the removal of only my sysop rights and the request was done without further delay. Érico (talk) 21:49, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But it was your own request. Ruslik (talk) 13:08, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes... I am not discussing the merit of this request, but only stating that it is natural to have wikis in which a user can be a bureaucrat but not sysop. Érico (talk) 16:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

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
