Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Paelius (talk | contribs) at 14:04, 20 November 2015 (Removal of access: +1). 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.

Yes I accept the request and it's urgent need of ps wiki.--عثمان منصور انصاري (talk) 21:44, 5 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Have the issues from april been worked out? Have the needed community processes been established? Sa vh ñ 10:57, 6 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
I would say "Yes" , Because before election of Admins or any other matter, We start voting process and all members of community are invited to participate in voting process--UsmanKhan (talk) 09:42, 7 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

ANBI@psWp

(psWp is expanding and it needs an admin that knows the native language and solve the issues that can only be solved by someone who know the language. Global sysops have problems of understanding the discussions that take place in native language. There are some users that are not familiar to communicate in english language thus it is the urgent need of Pashto wiki. Since I have expierence of 10 years working in different aspects of Pashto wiki and there are users who support me therefore I nominate myself and assign a nomination page where users will vote. For further details see the link in discussion) ANBI (talk) 10:06, 8 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Bacria Andrei Catalin@rowikibooks

I proposed for deletion delete pages faster and help the user to CustodieMinori.--Bacria Andrei Catalin (talk) 17:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Why is the request not transcluded to the main request page? Ruslik (talk) 19:56, 10 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
@Bacria Andrei Catalin: we will not accept this if you don't transclude your request on Wikibooks' main request page (wikibooks:ro:Wikimanuale:Candidaţi). --Stryn (talk) 17:31, 12 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
I have resolved--Bacria Andrei Catalin (talk) 17:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
It is still not transcluded. Ruslik (talk) 18:19, 14 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Not yet transcluded do you mean?--Bacria Andrei Catalin (talk) 18:52, 14 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

AzChanna@Sd.Wikipedia

I am already admin on sd wiki and i want to adminship for life:-- AzChanna (talk) 14:03, 12 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Is actually a consensus in this discussion? Only three !votes? Ruslik (talk) 20:41, 13 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Where is the request? The link given above was last edited 2 months ago. --Stryn (talk) 15:10, 15 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Hi, AzChanna, the discussion you posted was for the first election (Steward_requests/Permissions/Approved_temporary#AzChanna.40sdwiki) which expired on 14 Nov 2015. Usually, after the temporary adminship expires, you start another discussion for a permanent adminship [there is no "adminship for life" ;)].
Vote wise, considering this is a small wiki with 4,000-ish content, and 30-something active users, 3 votes are not that unusual for wiki of that size. Bennylin 13:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
If the community hasn't grown, it is more likely we will extend your temporary adminship. Sa vh ñ 14:06, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
@AzChanna, please file a new request to extend your temporary adminship. Sa vh ñ 14:53, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Pxos@fiwikiversity

Status:  On hold

I would like to apply for temporary adminship for three months on the Finnish Wikiversity. There are zero active sysops, and I'd like to delete redundant pages, update the interface (system messages), fix cut-and-paste moves by merging histories, and do other administrative stuff. I have been admin on fi.wikipedia and fi.wikisource for 2–3 years now, and I was a temporary admin at fi.wiktionary in the autumn of 2014 executing a similar "tour of duty" in 3 months. The community of fi.wikiversity is very small. My purpose is to do the technical maintenance work that has accumulated over several years (backlog) and that nobody seems willing to do. --Pxos (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you for your willingness to help out. Leaving this request on hold in case there are any comments on the local request. Sa vh ñ 14:52, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
I don't think there is going to be any discussion. There is an ongoing course where people get academic credit for their contributions, but they do not know how to sign their texts (they use both article pages and discussion pages for conversation, it's a real mess). Someone has cut-and-pasted the talk pages so that the page history has been lost, and single contributions cannot be separated from the whole. Someone else has already asked where they should post their comments now. The course instructor seems to be gone, and when he was present, it was obvious that he had no idea how to use Mediawiki code properly. I understand that applications of this kind should normally be open for at least a week so that the silent community might voice their opinions on me, but I really would like to expedite this process. I could sort out the mess this weekend and get things on the right track. I am now thinking of seeking a permanent adminship later on, and community discussion on that could be open for several weeks. --Pxos (talk) 13:46, 20 November 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.

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.

人神之间@zh.wikipedia

Status:  Done

Will leave for some time. Please remove my admin flag on zhwiki.--人神之间 (talk) 07:07, 17 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

 On hold for 1 day per standard practice. --Stryn (talk) 17:48, 17 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Done, thanks for your service. --Stryn (talk) 17:14, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Str4nd@fiwikisource

Status:  Not done

According to the global policy on inactivity (see Admin activity review), which applies when there is no local policy, Inactivity -- is defined as zero edits and zero administrative actions on the wiki in two years.
For user Str4nd on fi.wikisource, he has made his last edit in June 2010 and last log action 6 November 2013. Both are over 2 years old. Str4nd is completely inactive as an administrator and as a user, and his sysop status should be removed. --Pxos (talk) 14:08, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. The Admin activity review is a process that is done systematically. This permits for instance having the assurance that the user has been notified and given time to reply. As soon as there is a new review for 2015/16, Str4nd@fiwikisource will be adressed and consulted. Should you want to help, see Admin activity review/2014, which is currently being processed. Sa vh ñ 14:25, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Well, it doesn't seem to work according to policy. When str4nd was reviewed back in 2013, he didn't inform the community at all, but made instead a pro forma action (by deleting an empty category). The community could not discuss the matter according to policy. I have now contacted the user on fi-wikisource and I am waiting for his response. If he decides to make another single log action, do you say that this guarantees his sysop status for the next 2 years? It's against the AAR policy, isn't it? The policy states that the local community should decide whether an inactive sysop can keep his rights after two years of inactivity. --Pxos (talk) 14:52, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Then do so. Make a local policy or hold a local vote on the particular user's rights. His activity will next be reviewed by our process in a month or so here when I set up AAR 2015 (assuming nobody has done it before then). Ajraddatz (talk) 18:13, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
(削除) This is not the correct place but still I want to write my question again: The AAR policy tells me that when a sysop is detected, who has been inactive for two months, the sysop himself must notify the community and the community then will decide the matter. Now it seems that if the sysop fails to do that but instead makes a pro forma action every two years, this trumps the community every time. Is that the normal procedure that stewards follow when deciding the matter that they ought not to decide? Please answer this. (削除ここまで) --Pxos (talk) 19:26, 18 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
Never mind, I have started a community discussion on local policy at the Finnish Wikisource. I hope that things sort out by the end of 2015. --Pxos (talk) 15:16, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
AAR is mainly oriented at removing sysops who are inactive and unresponsive. If he performs a log or responds, we will not remove them. If you want to set stricter criteria, feel free to discuss them locally. Sa vh ñ 15:24, 19 November 2015 (UTC) [reply ]

Paelius@pl.wikipedia

Status:  In progress

It should be done after 17:35 (UTC) as a result of negative verification of administrator rights (more then 20% of voters against), otherwise as a result of my own request. — Paelius (talk) 14:04, 20 November 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
