Steward requests/Permissions

< Steward requests
(Redirected from RFP)
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 requirements 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.

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

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below: 


==== User name@xxproject ====

  |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.

Dagaare Wikimedians Community is a new wiki that currently has no administrator. I am a native speaker of the Dagaare language. I am requesting to remove vandalism, delete, manage users activities. I currently the one of the co-leads for the community. I have also requested for administrator’s position on the community portal for sometime now but yet to be granted. Zakaria Tunsung (talk) 16:48, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zakaria Tunsung Have you considered to request global sysop for help since it's currently a small project? Lemonaka (talk) 08:49, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Global sysops already have access to dgawiki. AramilFeraxa (talk) 10:29, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Zakaria Tunsung the linked discussion is five months old. MVR expects discussions to run for 1-2 weeks, if it's much older than a month we usually consider it too old to act on it. Please start a new discussion and re-submit your request on this page after 1-2 weeks, we will then grant your admin permissions. --Johannnes89 (talk) 10:26, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Abrí una votación, siguiendo las políticas de votación del proyecto, para solicitar los permisos de administradora en Wikiquote en español. Este proyecto cuenta con un burócrata que no edita desde hace más de un año y tampoco tiene habilitado el correo electrónico para informarle de la votación. Wikiquote en español cuenta solamente con una administradora activa. Solicito que se me den los permisos de administrador. Saludos, Laura Fiorucci (talk) 19:17, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Laura Fiorucci: Have you asked the local bureaucrat, who is able to grant the rights locally?
[Traducción automática/Machine translation] ¿Le has preguntado al burócrata local quién puede conceder los derechos a nivel local? EPIC (talk) 19:22, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC: El burócrata local User:LlamaAl no edita desde el 17:03 30 ene 2024 y tampoco tiene activado el correo electrónico. No hay manera de preguntarle ¿O te refieres a otra persona?. No hay más burócratas en Wikiquote en español. Laura Fiorucci (talk) 19:28, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  Non-stew comment Please note that almost all votes come from users who have not been active for years (or never active or very rarely) on that project (this applies to both support and opposition). This is not what should be done for transparency, we have always said that for projects with few active users even no vote is enough, but it's not at all pleasant to see a procedure like this (let's say it's frustrating and doesn't help the work of those who have to decide on the flag). I don't see any point in a local policy that requires global edits as a sufficient requirement to vote for local admins, it's very dangerous, sorry for the OT! --Superpes15 (talk) 11:37, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  On hold Per above and after some information provided to me privately, I plan to discuss this internally first. EPIC (talk) 11:54, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good afternoon from the south. I would like to know and understand the reason for the delay.
I opened an election process using the Wikiquote community guidelines. I won the election. I'm not a newcomer; I've been involved with Wikimedia projects for 19 years, 15 of those years as a bureaucrat for the Spanish Wikipedia.
I was the founder of Wikimedia Venezuela. I'm a member of Wikimedia Argentina, Wikimedia Spain, and the groups Users of Latin American Women in Wikimedia and Wikimedians of Bolivia. I'm familiar with the Spanish-language editor community and the guidelines for several projects (see my global contributions). And I'm not a hat collector.
Most of the upvoters, including the Spanish-language Wikiquote administrator, are long-time users of Wikimedia projects, some of them are long-time bureaucrats at Spanish Wikipedia. Can you tell me why this is taking so long? Have you asked Wikiquote administrator @Jaluj: what she thinks of the process?

Aca@shwiktionary

Status:    In progress

In the lead-up to the merger of Bosnian (bs.wiktionary.org) and Serbo-Croatian (sh.wiktionary.org) editions of Wiktionary, my fellow colleague is seeking temporary adminship (for a duration of six months) to prepare the latter for the transfer of dictionary entries from the former, and to help build necessary infrastructure for the joint project. –Vipz (talk) 20:06, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aca@bswiktionary

edit
Status:    In progress

In continuation of the above request, I would like to ask for temporary administrator rights on the Bosnian Wiktionary as well, for a duration of 3 months (in accordance with the minimum voting requirements and the conducted discussion). Thank you in advance, Aca (talk) 20:18, 11 April 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.

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.

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.
