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-stewards connect 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.

Meta-Wiki requests |
Using this page
- Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below:
====user name@xxproject==== {{sr-request |status = <!--don't change this line--> |domain = |user name = |discussion= }} Thank you! ~~~~
-
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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
- 'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
- If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.
Confirmation of identity
Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.
Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.
For stewards: Identification noticeboard.
Requests
Administrator access
Bureaucrat access
CheckUser access
To request CheckUser information, see Meta:Requests for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.
Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found here. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the Identification noticeboard . 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 lists.wikimedia.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 on the Identification noticeboard . When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.
Removal of access
If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account or place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link 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.
In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see instructions above).
====user name@xxproject==== {{sr-request |status = <!--don't change this line--> |domain = |user name = |discussion= }} __Summary of discussion here__. Thank you! ~~~~

I haven't been much active on the Nynorsk Wikipedia for the past couple of years, and would like to have my administrator status removed. Diff link: [[2]]

I've temporarily removed Emesee's administrator access until the community can review a dispute he is involved in, following reports in #wikimedia-stewards of abusive behaviour (see his Pathoschild 07:33:28, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes
If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the BetaWiki project instead (see mw:localisation). You can ask questions in the IRC channel or on the mailing list.
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.

- The community seems to be too small to hold a regular voting, maybe a temporary sysop status would be better--Nick1915 - all you want 09:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Moved to temporary, requesting three months if there is no input from the community there. :) Kylu 01:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
- Done for 3 months to expire on 2009年01月13日. The statistics there show 3000+ registered users but only 41 active users, 4 admins, without any bureaucrats, so I support temporary promotion per above.--Jusjih 00:37, 13 October 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Miscellaneous requests
Reminder
- Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
- Usurpation requests should be placed at Steward requests/Usurpation.
- Username changes should be placed at Requests for username changes.
