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

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

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 ====
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain    =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

Administrator access

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.

User YAniceta@pap.wikipedia

Status:    On hold

(Since there is only 1 other moderator on the Papiamentu Wikipedia, who is not active currently, I want to request the administrator rights. Given the fact that in a few weeks we want to start with activities on the Papiamentu Wikipedia, it would help us this can be done as soon as possible ) YAniceta (talk) 23:34, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nirajan pant@ne.wiktionary

Status:    Done

My temporary Admin rights has been expired on ne.wiktionary. Thus, I would like to request for the renewal of the Admin rights. Nirajan pant (talk) 04:00, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2019-11-04. Ruslik (talk) 13:56, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Iliev@bg.wikisource

Status:    On hold

I've been granted admin rights twice—for 6 months and then for another year—to combat some particularly pesky vandalism. I thought that vandalism was over, which is why I didn't reapply when my rights expired in March. Apparently, I was wrong.

Therefore, I kindly ask you now for another extension. I'll appreciate very much if it could be again for at least one year, considering both the long-term nature of the problem and how many times I've already been voted in all Bulgarian-language projects (I'm a sysop on Wikipedia, Wikibooks, and Wikinews, and a sysop and 'crat on Wiktionary and Wikiquote). In fact, if you'd only grant less than a full-year term, I'm afraid I would have to politely refuse.

Thank you,
— Luchesar • T/C 12:57, 3 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

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

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

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

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

  • 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.

Ivanvector@enwiki

Status:    Done

In protest of recent decisions by the English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, I am voluntarily withdrawing from administration in all areas affected by Arbitration Committee directives. Accordingly, I expect to be inactive from the Arbitration Committee-appointed English checkuser team for an indefinite period of time. In accordance with the English checkuser inactivity policy, I am requesting temporary removal of the checkuser permission from my account. Ivanvector (talk) 16:37, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Usually advanced rights are removed without the 24 hour wait, but since this is a clear ragequit I would suggest (to the steward) putting this on hold for the usual 24 hours. --Rschen7754 16:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
On hold for the customary waiting period. – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:57, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Not a ragequit at all. I'm expecting to be inactive for some time in response to a related dispute, but fully expect to resume duties once that is resolved. But to that end there's little matter whether this is processed today or tomorrow. Ivanvector (talk) 17:12, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Self removal is usually subject to 24 hours hold, whether ragequit or not. — regards, Revi 19:55, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done. — regards, Revi 15:11, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Miscellaneous requests

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
