Steward requests/Permissions
Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.
For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewardsconnect IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward
in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.
Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

We request Bureaucrat access@ganwikipedia. We are the site proposal users and the main editors of gan wikipedia in incubator site. When the gan wikipedia built formally in May 26th, we need the founction of bureaucrat rights to authorize the bot request and maintence the interface of the site. so we nominate two users requesting bureaucrat rights in the site and win common sense of serveral users including the acceptence of the native speaker proposal users. So please authorize the bureaucrat access to Symane and Vipuser. The main work of Symane is maintence of the interface, and vipuser is responsible for dealing the request of bots and site maintence affairs . Thanks very much!

CheckUser access
To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.
Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.
Oversight access
Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).
Stewards: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.
Removal of access
If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here. You should add the difflink of your local confirmation edit to the request.
To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.
Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.
==== Username@language-code project-name ==== I request removal of access. *'''Language Code:''' xx *'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision--> *'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]] Thank you. ~~~~

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes
If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation. If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Vandalism reports and Multilingual speedy deletions.
Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.
Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the list of sysops and bureaucrats, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Thank you. 84.232.162.42 21:10, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hello Diego pmc, as said a bit above, I would like to see a local request for this, because I can see at least one sysop and other people in the recent changes. Please grant the local community to express their opinion on this even if they are just a few people, many thanks for Your understanding, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 21:52, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- I have seen, You contacted the local sysop about it. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 08:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- The problem is that the requests page is locked; see "Nominalizări" (=Nominations). [3] 84.232.161.47 05:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- I asked, and am waiting for an answer, but he avoids to give it, wihout making a clear position. And furthermore, he doesn't give attention to my suggestions regarding different needed updates of the .css, which if they were listened, or given more attention (prove me they are not needed), I wouldn't have asked for adminship. How long should I wait for his answer, before asking here again? diego_pmc 12:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry but if they decide not to update the css. it is their decision, You could try to make a request in the village pump if the request site stays protected. Best regards, --birdy geimfyglið (:> )=| ∇ 13:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, I mean if he doesn't give any kind of response. diego_pmc 16:44, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Miscellaneous requests
Reminder
- Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this.
- Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
- Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
- Please make sure you have your accounts renamed before merging them.
