Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Friniate (talk | contribs) at 13:22, 24 October 2015 (→Removal of access ). It may differ significantly from the current version .

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-stewards connect 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.

theenjay36@cebwikipedia

The admins at Cebuano Wikipedia are inactive, so I'm nominating myself. I will be there to perform some cleanup and to combat vandalism. theenjay36 11:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Please contact the local bureaucrat to handle your request (and keep in mind that you only posted it on Oct 3, so he will probably want to wait at least a week or so before he acts on it). Note also that one local admin is in fact active, though that does of course not prevent you from becoming one too. --MF-W 03:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
MF-Warburg, it has been two months since the bureaucrat's last activity. theenjay36 04:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
That doesn't need to mean anything, cf. the request of KSFT@jbo.wikipedia above. --MF-W 17:34, 5 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Anyway, I've left a message on his talk page though I know that he's inactive. For how long should I wait and what should I do if I didn't get a response? theenjay36 11:23, 6 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
I think after a week or so, stewards can handle your request. --MF-W 17:03, 9 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2016年1月23日. once this temporary access has expired, please start another local request and we can extend the access for longer. MBisanz talk 17:57, 23 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

ismail4all@so.wikipedia.org

Status:  On hold
  • Wiki: so.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
  • User: ismail4all (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA )
  • Discussion: Dear Steward,
    at least for the last six months we had no regular admin here in so.wikipedia. During these times we have experienced a lot of vandalism, misconducts and other abusive behaviors that has damaged a lot of pages. I personally, tried to defend pages, undo wrong changes and have marked other abusive pages for deletion. And hence my authority was limited i could not protect much of the work in our project and or able to delete unwanted and abusive pages. Since our last admin is absent for so long, i would like to request for admin status for Somali Wikipedia. I have created a vote page [HERE] and [announcement], and gained the support of some active contributors.
    Please note: we don't have a large number of active users.

Thanks, Ismail4all (talk) 03:28, 11 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

 On hold till 17 October 2015. Ruslik (talk) 17:34, 11 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Ruslik its already 20 October, and still waiting for response. Ismail4all (talk) 20:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
After initiating the "Project resysoping sowiki" here, please allow me to type some lines in order to support this request. I know it is hard to care for wikis whose languages no steward or global sysop can read, but I was thinking that there had to be some kind of standard procedure for trivial administration coverage. Now I know that this is not the case and that a solution, at least a temporary one, needs to be created.
This is why I wanted you to remember the enthusiastic phrases about activating Africa and the fundamentality of community health: sowiki as a project has a problem its community cannot solve by itself. Ismail4all is willing to shoulder responsibilty and to tidy up where tidying up is overdue. As far as I can tell he should be able to proof he is the right choice. Please give sowiki a chance to put the record straight by themselves. Thanks, → «« Man77 »» [de] 19:14, 14 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Chaojoker@hywikibooks

Give admin rights, because has 1 support, 1 void oppose, void because it is wrong commentary, he say that Chaojoker has not given its consent. --Vadgt (talk) 07:26, 14 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Where and when did he give his consent? Ruslik (talk) 16:42, 14 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
He not answered to this question, this one is a question. But since thereof he not make a edit[1]. Possibly he not looked this. --Vadgt (talk) 03:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
On hold till the user answers "yes". Ruslik (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Is it possible that I can manage to get it renewed before it expires in a few hours?? --Sorenhk (talk) 20:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Mww113@testwiki

Status:  Not done

I would like sysop access on the test wikipedia for the purposes of testing changes to the interface in the MediaWiki namespace. I had proposed a change to the interface on the English Wikipedia on en:MediaWiki:Antispoof-conflict-bottom which was discussed and then implemented. However, the page ultimately had to be deleted because the links were shown to users as source code rather than links. I'd like to do some testing to make sure I fully understand the reason why this happens before I file a bug report. If I end up having to report a bug, which is then fixed and implemented into the software, I will need to do testing to verify that the bug fix works as intended. There are other MediaWiki namespace changes that I would like to propose as well, but given this issue, I would like to test them on the test wikipedia before proposing them on enwiki. I am making this request here because the local permissions page on the test wikipedia is backlogged, and if I end up needing to file a bug report, I would prefer to do it sooner rather than later. Mww113 (talk) 06:08, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Comment Comment Hi. Visit testwiki:Wikipedia:Requests/Permissions for local requests. Alan (talk) 22:36, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
    • I just posted there as well; but as the test wikipedia states it is not a community, I was under the impression that sysop rights there are not predicated upon the normal consensus process. In this case, having sysop access is merely a technical necessity to conduct the testing that I would like to do. Since there are users who have been waiting since August, I figured it would make sense to ask here. There is already consensus on enwiki for the aforementioned interface change, and I'd like to test sooner rather than later as it could take a while to to go through the bug report process even after the testing is complete (should that be necessary). Best, Mww113 (talk) 22:56, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Not done. This will be handled locally on Test-Wiki. --Pmlineditor (t · c · l) 04:32, 23 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Done locally. Thanks! Mww113 (talk) 04:37, 23 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

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.

Jayantanth@bnwikisource

Status:  Not done

Please give me the access as discussed by local community consensus. Thank you. Jayantanth (talk) 04:50, 21 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

On the projects with such small editing communities we do not usually grant bureaucrat permissions. Ruslik (talk) 19:05, 21 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Thanks Ruslik, I know the small wiki classification, But our bnws is growing day by day. As of now there is less than 10 admin,but community needs a minimum one bureaucrat. So what kind of consensus from the the local community you need to grant this permission? If small wiki community wants one bureaucrat/ maintain it from local ( you can monitor from global),what is oppose here? Jayantanth (talk) 04:07, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
You may find here, small with one bureaucrat, like

Jayantanth (talk) 06:18, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. In the past, bureaucrat access was granted on very small projects. This has not been the practice for several years. At the moment the community is far too small to support a bureaucrat particularly as, in effect, the only role now is creating administrators. It isn't a question of getting X number of supports to create a bureaucrat, it's a question of the size of the community as a whole. QuiteUnusual (talk) 14:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
So What is the WMF plan? Not to grow small wiki? Where is the policy, not to grants bureaucrat access for a small wiki? What is the plan with one or two bureaucrat in small wiki? Should you remove their access? The meta community just through out local community decision. Please explain. Thank you. Jayantanth (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
You do not need to be a bureaucrat to "grow" your wiki. Ruslik (talk) 16:23, 23 October 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

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-stewards connect 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.

Hi, I wish to resign as sysop on it.wikipedia, please remove my sysop-flag there. Thanks in advance. Caarl 95 (talk) 13:22, 24 October 2015 (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
