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.

Cross-wiki requests
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.

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.

[edit]
Status:    Done

I would like to request an probation period admin rights. I had opened discussion a week ago and had so far 2 support. Thanks! Enkhsaihan2005 (talk) 11:07, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the past socking issues (and a previous de-sysop on another wiki for it), I'd like to discuss this internally first.  On hold pending steward discussion. EPIC (talk) 20:18, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-03-01. 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.
Sorry for the delay on this. It seems that it should be fine to grant here, so I'll go ahead and give the rights accordingly. EPIC (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Status:    Not done

I'm requesting once again for admin right on ha.wiktionary to continue amending vandalism and to patrol pages. I would be delighted to be granted permanent admin rights instead of applying periodically. Thanks.

@Salisu Adamu: Excuses that this one wasn't posted here, the abuse filter caused a false positive so I had to manually add it just now. Is there any local discussion, and if so, could you link to it? EPIC (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My current rights expire today or tomorrow. Sławobóg (talk) 17:30, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it looks like there is no new local discussion (I only see the last one from August at least), so you will have to open a new local discussion and return here with a new request after a week has passed. I'll have to close this as Not done until then. EPIC (talk) 17:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry, I copied text from previous discussion and forgot to change date. It was posted on 13th. I hope that is not a problem. Sławobóg (talk) 18:00, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hakimi97@mswikisource

[edit]
Status:    Done

I would like to request to extend the temporary adminship since the right has expired since 28th November 2024. It would be helpful if the temporary admin right could be issued for a longer period of time (if possible for 1 year). Meanwhile, is it possible to grant me temporary interface adminship at Malay Wikisource too since I need to continuously transfer and upgrade useful gadgets, scripts and tools from other wikisource to ms.wikisource, which requires interface admin right. Hakimi97 (talk) 03:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hakimi97, I don't think the vote mentions interface admin rights, does it? Please start a separate vote regarding that. --Base (talk) 12:19, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I see. I think I will start the vote for interface admin in other time then. For now I am focusing on just normal adminship. Hakimi97 (talk) 12:22, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-11-30. 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. ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 13:06, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doc James@dzwiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

Dz is a new wiki. Am supporting them in setting up templates, etc. Would be nice to be able to use Special:Import. Six months should be sufficient. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:46, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc James: I don't have an issue with granting this, but are you only requesting sysop for imports? If so, requesting transwiki import rights might instead be an alternative. EPIC (talk) 12:16, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that would be fine aswell. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 17:12, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unless you have suppressredirect or similar, you are likely to run into bugs with transwiki import - so I would go for sysop if I were you. Leaderboard (talk) 17:34, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-03-01. 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.
Considering that the user is a sysop on two wikis I don't see any issues with granting the rights, so done for three months. EPIC (talk) 18:29, 1 December 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.

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.

AramilFeraxa@plwiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

Please grant AramilFeraxa checkuser rights indefinitely. Our local policy requires to have at least 85% of support, with at least 25 users taking part in the voting. AramilFeraxa gained 98%, with 62 votes. He has already signed the NDA. Ptjackyll (talk) 17:31, 1 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

EggRoll97@en.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

Please grant the transwiki importer right in accordance with the following discussion, which was closed as approved. EggRoll97 (talk) 01:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. EPIC (talk) 04:20, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Nedops@plwiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

Please remove Nedops' checkuser rights. He hasn't used them for the last 365 days, which fullfills the plwiki inactivity policy for checkuser access removal. Msz2001 (talk) 09:07, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noting for transparency that I removed the sysop flag from the above mentioned account. This was previously declined at Steward_requests/Permissions/2023-04#Vanished_user_127237@ruwikimedia due to a lack of an explicit resignation or crat approval, but since the user has been vanished for more than one year and a local bureaucrat agreed with the removal in the link above, I'll proceed with removing the rights. EPIC (talk) 23:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
