Steward requests/Permissions

< Steward requests
(Redirected from Request for permissions)
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.

Requests

  |user name  =

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.

Ericliu1912@zhwikiquote

edit
Status:    Done

The vote has ended with 3 supports and 1 opposition. In my defense, that only opposition was based on accusations not related to my record as administrator in Wikiquote, just like before. I hope stewards take that into account. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 15:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-10-26. 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.
Although there was an opposer, there is enough support for an extension per MVR. EPIC (talk) 15:30, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I acknowledge granting the flag, may I request any disinterested third party to mediate, please?--Jusjih (talk) 17:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Even as no one mediates my disagreement with Ericliu1912, I consider opposing one's candidacy for adminship never any kind of personal attack, so Ericliu1912 linking the past thing above would remain a dangerous precedent to suppress objectors. Do not be too power-hungry.--Jusjih (talk) 18:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"power-hungry" lol —— Eric Liu（Talk） 10:38, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doniyor Yóldoshev@kaawikipedia

edit
Status:    Not done

Dear global wiki administrators, I have been a member of the wiki family for 2 years and 2 months, during which time I primarily worked for Kaawikipedia and Uzwikipedia. Until recently, I was an administrator at Kaawiki, but my term has expired. Today, I have submitted my candidacy again. Wikipedia is now growing, and I believe it needs more administrators to support new users. One of my goals as an administrator is to make extensive use of bots on Kaawiki. One of my goals as an administrator is to widely utilize the help of bots in Kawicki. Doniyor Yóldoshev (talk) 15:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it seems that this discussion was opened only yesterday. As it says at the top of this section, requests for adminship should run for at least a week before a request is posted here. With that being said, I have to close this as   Not done at the moment. Please place a new request here on November 8 at the earliest and we'll proceed with granting the rights if there are no objections by then. EPIC (talk) 16:44, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I understand. I'll make another inquiry on November 8th. Doniyor Yóldoshev (talk) 00:58, 3 November 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. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Emptyfear@hywikisource

edit
Status:    Done

Armenian Wikisource's editors have also voted in favor of granting interface administrator status to the user Emptyfear. @ջեօ 16:52, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-11-03. 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) 16:57, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Laziz Baxtiyorov@uz.wikipedia

edit
Status:    In progress

Laziz Baxtiyorov has engaged in sockpuppetry as well as online and offline harassment of another admin. The community has unanimously supported his desysopping. Nataev talk 15:32, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Nataev: Hello, I don't see any sign of any vote of confidence in the linked section, and the discussion also seems to be quite old (from May this year). Where did the voting take place? EPIC (talk) 15:47, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion has indeed been ongoing for quite some time. Both @Kagansky and I have explicitly supported desysopping Laziz Baxtiyorov in the same thread, while @Mirzoulugʻbek has indicated that some action should be taken against him. No other users have contributed to the discussion, even though it has been open since May of this year. If you think it would be beneficial to gather formal votes explicitly stating "support" or "oppose," we could organize a vote. Nataev talk 15:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
