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.

Old sections are archived by a bot. Click here for a list of archives.

  • 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:

==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    = <!-- such as en.wikibook -->
 |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 you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots in your remarks
  • discussion: a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").

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    =
 |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. Approved temporary access requests are listed at SRAT. Requests are moved to that page by a bot.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

For permanent adminship, please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary adminship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

AzChanna@Sd.Wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Not done

I am already admin on sd wiki and i want to adminship for life:-- AzChanna (talk) 14:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Is actually a consensus in this discussion? Only three !votes? Ruslik (talk) 20:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
Where is the request? The link given above was last edited 2 months ago. --Stryn (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi, AzChanna, the discussion you posted was for the first election (Steward_requests/Permissions/Approved_temporary#AzChanna.40sdwiki) which expired on 14 Nov 2015. Usually, after the temporary adminship expires, you start another discussion for a permanent adminship [there is no "adminship for life" ;)].
Vote wise, considering this is a small wiki with 4,000-ish content, and 30-something active users, 3 votes are not that unusual for wiki of that size. ✒ Bennylin 13:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
If the community hasn't grown, it is more likely we will extend your temporary adminship. Savhñ 14:06, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
@AzChanna, please file a new request to extend your temporary adminship. Savhñ 14:53, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
@AzChanna, please file a new local request to have your temporary adminship extended. Apologies for the confusion caused by the previous message. Savhñ 01:51, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

I would like to renew my sysop rights on Georgian Wikibooks. David1010 (talk) 08:18, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi David1010, please post a local request. And provide us with a link. After a week we can check if there is enough support, or at least no real objections. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 11:58, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

I request you to grant me sysop right. Thx. el caballero de los Leones (talk) 10:34, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Your bureaucrat GnuDoyng was active 2 weeks ago. Please ask him to appoint you admin. We only act if he does not respond. Sincerely, Taketa (talk) 12:09, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
@Taketa: Okay, i have sent him an e-mail to notice him. But, his life seems very busy because he had no contributions from 11 August 2013 to 16 November 2015 [2]. If he didn't reply me, when can i request here next time?--el caballero de los Leones (talk) 14:22, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
I have also posted a note on his talk page. Let's give it a week, that should be enough time to respond. All the best, Taketa (talk) 18:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Bureaucrat access[edit]

See bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

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.
  • Temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by stewards.
  • Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify. Breaching these rules may be the cause for removing your steward access.

Beeblebrox@enwiki[edit]

Status:    Done

Since I have the ArbCom noticeboard watchlisted, I just noticed that the enwiki Arbitration Committee voted to restore the checkuser tools to this editor (a former ArbCom member) over an hour ago, but it seems that they forgot to request its actual implementation here. The motion is linked above in the "Discussion" bullet point. Thanks, Biblioworm 23:08, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

X mark.svg Not done at this point, please address your concerns to English Wikipedia ArbCom.  — billinghurst sDrewth 23:44, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I'm not especially familiar with all the proper processes concerning meta-wiki matters. --Biblioworm 23:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
Please flip the switch, on behalf of ENWP's ArbCom. --Guerillero 01:40, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Done. Ajraddatz (talk) 01:52, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

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.

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, a trusted user from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, 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.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

According to newikipedia local policy, I had made a local discussion for request of removal of sysops flags at newikipedia, & got no argues while it being open for more than a month. There are 3 bureaucrats but no response at all while i've already left messages on their talk page. So, We would like to request here on meta for removal of sysops rights. -- Tulsi Bhagat (Talk) 06:11, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

What are conditions for the removal in this new policy? Ruslik (talk) 11:19, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
@Ruslik0: Hi, According to the policy, main condition is that sysops should give atleast 100 contrib. as well with administrative task for example: delete, restore, import, granting user right etc. within time period of 6 months. IMO, They haven't done any such kinds of activities and they are inactive too. They also haven't given atleast 150 contributions within 6 months. For more info about sysops removal policies, you can visit here. -- Tulsi Bhagat (Talk) 07:32, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

Can anyone please help here?? -- Tulsi Bhagat (Talk) 06:22, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

RajeshPandey@ne.wikipedia[edit]

Status:    Done

As per above, and also inactivity of Rajeshpandey. I had made a local discussion for request of removal of bureaucrat flag at newikipedia, & got no argues while it being open for more than a month. So that requested here on meta. -- Tulsi Bhagat (Talk) 06:23, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Jusjih as steward[edit]

Status:    Done

I am resigning as a steward, effective 2015-12-12T12:12:12Z. I will better concentrate on being an administrator here on Meta and 11 other wikis.Jusjih (talk) 01:47, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Yes check.svg Done Thanks for all you have done. A distinguished "career" and enjoy a little more time to do editing and hopefully some RL.  — billinghurst sDrewth 12:51, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
@Billinghurst: I fear this has been done two days early ("effective 2015-12-12T12:12:12Z") and apparently you forgot to remove Jusjih from the global steward group, too. ;-) --Vogone (talk) 15:39, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
You are right. I missed the nuance, I will chat with him. So many mods are required for adding and removing.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:09, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Ochilov@global[edit]

Status:    Done

I have got this right when I have the problems with my Internt operator with access to some Wikimedia projects and pages due to censorhsip, now they fixed it so I do not need to use VPN/proxy. So, I request the removal of:

  • Global IP block exemptions
  • ipblock-exempt on wikimania2016 - fixed myself
  • ipblock-exempt on ruwikiquote

I am not a flag collector so I am immediately taking off flags if I do not have a real need of them. Thanks --Ochilov (talk) 09:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

I removed the global flag, but, please, address all local requests to the local administrators. Ruslik (talk) 11:53, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
Ruslik0, the problem is that all admins in Russian Wikiquote reply after two-three months. But thank you for removing the global one, I think I will just email one if the ruwikiquote admins :) --Ochilov (talk) 12:23, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
