Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by 86.0.191.242 (talk) at 19:04, 16 January 2009 (→See also ). It may differ significantly from the current version .
This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 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 (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

Using this page

  1. 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! ~~~~
  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"). 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]]").
  3. 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

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin.

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.

user Guérin Nicolas@wowikipedia

Status:  In progress
  • Wiki: wo.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
  • User: Guérin Nicolas (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA )
  • Discussion: I'm currently sysop on wo.wp and i proposed my candidature to become a bureaucrat, as the former bureaucrat is not active anymore on this wiki. You can find the page for the election here and this election is now over since almost one month. I would like that a steward, according to result of this votation, gives me bureaucrat access on this wiki. Note : contrarily to what it is written above, this wiki as a bot policy now, see this page. We need to flag bots on this wiki and to allow global bots, this small wiki highly need it.

Thank you! Guérin Nicolas     10:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

I've added the bot policy to the pages here. Waiting for a steward to assign the rights global bot to this wiki. Laaknor 10:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

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

As with Checkuser, do not initiate a request for oversight access here. You need to work through your local wiki. Some wikis have elections. Some wikis have their Arbitration Committee make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki. The request should show a link to the local wiki election results, or be made on behalf of an ArbCom by a member of that ArbCom, whichever is applicable.

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= <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link -->
}}
__Summary of discussion here__. Thank you! ~~~~

Clearly, I no longer have the trust of the en-wp community or the temperament necessary to remain an admin. It's causing me too much stress and has brought me into too many situations that I should just ignore and mind my own business. Thank you! Elkman 02:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

User is SUL unified. Kylu 02:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
Except not on de.wikipedia. There's a different user with that name. --Elkman 03:00, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
You're not asking for removal of status on de.wikipedia though. :) I'm just telling the stewards that you're the same person on meta as the project that you want rights removed from. Thanks for clarifying, though! Kylu 03:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. — Dan | talk 03:12, 16 January 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
