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).
Interface translations are done at Betawiki. Please do not request administrator access for that purpose; your request will be declined.
For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards connect IRC channel (web client). In emergencies only, type !steward
in the channel to inform stewards that you need help. Otherwise, you can use @steward
to gain attention if the channel is quiet.
Please only make requests here after gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community. Please note that the "temporary access" section was removed due to redundancy. Please add your request for temporary sysopship to the administrator section.

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= }} (your remarks) ~~~~
-
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 the 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
If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should be 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 Steward requests/Speedy deletions.
- Stewards
- Currently-active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary; copy granted requests to the appropriate section there, stating the date of removal in the section header and at the bottom of the request. Please invite new sysops to the admin IRC channel.
- Archiving
- 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. Users who archive requests on that page, please check if the request was correctly added to the temporary subpage before removing it from this page.
For permanent sysopship please provide a link to the local community approval. For temporary sysopship please state for how long and for which tasks you need it, and link to a local announcement.

In the project has one administrator. He didn't use his tools since May 30. Deletions here, blocks here and protects here. I request temporary sysop access, thanks Captain Jones 11:30, 19 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- Have you asked on the local projects village pump and waited ~ a week? Laaknor 11:46, 19 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- You do not seem to be active on this project, please mark pages for quick deletion using {{delete}} template. Temp sysop access is generally granted only if deemed necessary, please state why you need it. Thank you. --M/ 11:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- I request for clear the unused pages and files. (copyrighted and available on Commons)--Captain Jones 12:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

I request sysop access. Thanks in advance.
- Hello Atabek, you seem to be an admin there already. What are you requesting? -- sj | help translate |+ 03:35, 21 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- Perhaps Atabek thought a renewal of temporary access was needed? Kylu turned on access 6 April I believe. This was one of several in sequence that have been granted, but the previous ones were all temporary, however see kaa:Wikipedia:Administratorlar#Paydalan.C4.B1wsh.C4.B1:Atabek where it appears access was supported 4-0 back in 2008. I can't find this one listed in the temporary listing, Steward_requests/Permissions/Approved_temporary so perhaps Kylu can remember? ++Lar: t/c 01:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Please give the sysop access to Mohamed Slim, Best Regards -Orango speak! 02:34, 22 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- hello Orango as i see there is only two support vote which is not enough for permanent adminship so i suggest you Temporary adminship which is technically same as a permanent adminship , whenever your community grew enough for permanent adminship you can request for permanent adminship and please hold the RFA at least for one week --Mardetanha talk 02:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
- Hello Mardetanha, I think I rushed :) . Overall the number of voters is sufficient because the project is not very very active. Please consider the request tomorrow (The end of the one week). Thankyou --Orango speak! 03:43, 22 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]
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 before giving the status. There is an email template to request identification from the new CU. Do not grant CU access unless the user is identified to the Foundation. 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 the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.
Oversight access
To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards , or email oversight-l@lists.wikimedia.org for requests regarding English Wikipedia. This is the place to request Oversight access. Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.
- 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 Oversight.
Removal of access
If you're requesting the removal of your own status, make sure you're logged in to a global account.
To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must take place 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 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).
==== username@xxproject ==== {{sr-request |status = <!-- don't change this line --> |domain = |user name = |discussion= <!-- local confirmation link / local policy link --> }}
Miscellaneous requests
Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Import rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this. Please gather community consensus before placing a link to the discussion here.
Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages:
- Local or global bot status
- Other global rights, requests regarding global blocking, and requests regarding locking accounts
- URL blacklisting
- Requests for CheckUser information
- Changing your username on Meta
- Changing your username or usurping an account on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats
