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 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.

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.

Salvete! There is no other active administrator in the Avar Wikipedia, so I leave a request for an extension of the status of the administrator, as well as the status of the interface administrator, to continue work. I have experience, as I have been an admin for several years. Thank you. Always with respect M. Omarius (talk) 17:14, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The voting page doesn't seem to be linked from anywhere, and it seems like you re-used the voting page from last year. Where was this advertised in order to meet MVR? EPIC (talk) 22:55, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Salvete. Since the term of the admin status has ended, I believe it is necessary to create another page for the election and leave another request for admin status for 3 months. If it is advisable, I would like you to leave a message about it. Thank you) M. Omarius (talk) 17:57, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@M. Omarius per Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements requests for adminship should be posted on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions. You re-used an old page [1] which might be ok, but it seems like it should have been linked at the main page for requesting permissions [2]? How did the voters find your request for extending your admin permissions? Johannnes89 (talk) 16:22, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Salvete! Due to the fact that we have few active users, as an experienced editor, I maintain personal contact with them. At the moment, we notify each other about events such as voting or correcting texts through our social media accounts. M. Omarius (talk) 16:55, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@M. Omarius no issue with doing that, but please also make sure to publicly link such requests at your wiki. That's the only way for stewards to know that anyone could voice their opinion if they wanted to. If you link the page at an appropriate local venue and wait another 7 days, we can proceed with granting you admin + interface admin permissions again. Johannnes89 (talk) 17:21, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Salvete! I have linked the voting page to the corresponding query page to get the status of admin and bureaucrats (here). This will allow other participants and stewards to quickly find the page they need, as well as the archive for RfA. I also indicated this vote on the archive page with a note that this request is current (here). I have created the necessary templates and modules, so in the future new RfA will be automatically displayed on the specified page, just like in the English Wikipedia. M. Omarius (talk) 19:00, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

Hi, I've been given temp adminship several times in this project. I'm also active admins in jv.wikipedia, and id.wikisource, among others. I'd like to be given perm adminship and interface adminship, because the community is already quite large, and we have many needs for admins in the future. ✒ Bennylin 15:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Per MVR the community "must be large enough to require a [permanent] administrator". I don't think anything has changed since this request [3] judging by the deletion log [4]. But it appears that you got your permissions the last two times just for one year [5], we could at least grant for two years, I'm also ok with three years given your experience in other projects.
Please check your mails regarding interface adminship. --Johannnes89 (talk) 16:19, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sysop flag   Granted for 2 years to expire on 2027-02-28. 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. Indeed the community isn't large enough for permanent admins, but no issues with a longer extension.
  Not done for IA, at least for now, as security requirements are not met. Pending a response, I've temporarily suspended the candidate's interface adminship at idwiki and jvwiki. Please place a new request once this is resolved, and we'll restore them as well as grant this request. EPIC (talk) 13:20, 28 February 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.

Masti@plwiki

edit
Status:    Done

After a 168-hour voting (47 votes for, 5 against and 8 abstained), based on local rules (at least 25 votes and 85% in favor), please grant masti a indefinite access to oversight tools. He already signed the Confidentiality agreement and is listed on noticeboard. Thank you in advance. Ptjackyll (talk) 22:26, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Done and doesn't seem like any other accesses need handling. EPIC (talk) 22:32, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Panpanchik@uzwikipedia

edit
Status:    Done

The user has committed multiple violations, including improperly disclosed paid editing, sockpuppetry, abuse of rights by granting their sock account an IP-block exemption, and using their main account to undelete entries created by the sock. Additionally, they engaged in CoI editing, created poor-quality machine-translated content, and potentially engaged in meatpuppetry. The community unanimously voted to remove both their admin and interface admin rights (S: 9, O: 0, N: 0). Per local policy, the discussion remained open for one week, and votes cast by ineligible users (particularly those who had not made a single edit in the past 15 days) were disregarded. Nataev talk 18:23, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Done though with thanks for their service. Noting that the IA flag can be locally removed, but per the RfC and considering that the discussion involved both rights, I've removed that too. EPIC (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much, Epic! Nataev talk 19:17, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

春卷柯南@zh.wikipedia

edit
Status:    On hold

I am here to submit my resignation as a Chinese Wikipedia administrator in order toexamine the community members' trust on me via another RfA. Over the past few years, as the only incumbent sysop who has been disciplined, I believe I no longer meet the community's expectations for administrators in terms of character, activity, and competence. Most of my recent activities can be done without administrator privileges. Rather than waiting to be removed, I have chosen to step down voluntarily. After resigning, I will continue working on the Chinese version of The Wikipedia Adventure as an interface administrator. Depending on my mood and the community's trust in me, I may choose to run for adminship again in the future or gradually withdraw from the community due to exhaustion. This decision is final, and I ask that no one celebrate or provoke me after my departure.--Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:02, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. EPIC (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree with your decision, but I respect it. Note that Bagida520 (the original person who had made that report) has already been indeffed for incivility.
Thank you for what you have contributed to the community. zhwiki will miss your service as an excellent administrator. 0xDeadbeef (talk) 08:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@春卷柯南: I do not think you should resign over these kinds of small problem. Please reconsider! —— Eric Liu（Talk） 21:19, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the time is up. I'm not sure if 0xDeadbeef's objection was solely based on the fact that another user—who isn’t on good terms with me—has been indeffed. In my resignation notice at zhwiki I said I won't reconsider, but I also implicitly said that if the UCoC is not fully operational or is dysfunctional, either globally or specifically on zh.wiki (which I also cited in my resignation notice), my resignation may ran into problems. To put it in a Chinese proverb: "虎落平陽被犬欺".
Moreover, many users who previously had communication issues with the community—especially those who caused me distress—have since been banned by the local community. This has given me the impression that the community’s ability to handle user behavior issues has significantly improved compared to 2021.--Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:14, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The "on hold" time isn't restrictive as long as the removal hasn't been carried, in my view.
Do you still want your permissions removed or you want to withdraw the request and think about it more? KonstantinaG07 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would try to have some more talks with them; for now, I’d like to continue putting my request on hold. Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
