Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Anamdas (talk | contribs) at 02:27, 27 April 2018 (→Administrator access ).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.

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.

where is the discussion? Stryn (talk) 10:41, 21 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Sorry, I'm still proposing the admin request in Gor Wiki [1]
Now, we're still waiting for the vote result in the next week. Please postpone my request. Marwan Mohamad (talk) 11:24, 21 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
 On hold until April, 28 2018 to let one full week of discussion. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:32, 21 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Comment. This project was just created from Incubator. Marwan was a test-sysop on the project while it was in Incubator, and handled the mop there capably. Provided that the community supports him, I think he can start out immediately at 6 months. StevenJ81 (talk) 16:24, 26 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Dl3222@hewikivoyage

Status:  In progress

We have a very small community of 2-3 users and since our only sysop suddenly disappeared about a month ago we have no active sysop in our community. I was already a sysop in this wiki twice before (for a period of two years). Please grant me permissions for a half year — The preceding unsigned comment was added by DL3222 (talk)

Godric ki Kothri@hiwiki

Requesting sysop rights for the user for 3 months. Unanimously supported by community. Not a single oppose vote. Voting/discussion kept open for 7 days as per local norms. Thanks. --Anamdas (talk) 02:27, 27 April 2018 (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.

Olena Zakharian@uk.wikinews

Per community decision. A1 (talk) 19:38, 6 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Apologies if I am mistaken but I don't see the user was notified about the removal vote, thus I do not feel confortable handling this. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:35, 7 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
On the other hand, the user is listed as inactive at Admin_activity_review/2017/Data#ukwikinews so I'm less concerned. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:43, 7 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
A link to a userpage works as a ping and notifies user authomatically, if I don`t mistaken. In the same time we don`t have any policies in Wikinews to notify user in another way. Yes, user was inactive and this was a reason for nomination. --A1 (talk) 15:55, 7 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Unless the user has opted to receive email notification, it only delivers the notification on wiki, so they won't know it unless they visit the wiki. Only authentic way to notify them is leaving a note on user talk (which always trigger email notification, and sending an email if they accept it). — regards, Revi 16:03, 7 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Could you show me policy that require such type a of user notification for adminship removal? --A1 (talk) 20:17, 10 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Our standard inactivity rules, Admin Activity Review states they'll be notified of the upcoming desysop ("On wikis where no formal advanced rights review process exists locally, the stewards or their delegates will: ... notify those advanced rights holders who have exceeded the maximum allowed time period for inactivity. Such a notification (notice of maximum inactivity) will be sent as a message to the user's talk page on the wiki where they hold their respective rights.") and are given 1 month to follow up or face desysop. If you have alternative activity rules, you should tell us so we don't process ukwikinews under the standard rules. — regards, Revi 09:35, 13 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
 On hold until 14 May --Alaa :)..! 18:55, 15 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Status:  Done

—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ovedc (talk) 09:41, 24 April 2018‎

@Ovedc: Please confirm if you're resigning adminship. — regards, Revi 10:31, 24 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Yes, I am resigning adminship. Thanks! Ovedc (talk) 10:39, 24 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions --Alaa :)..! 14:42, 24 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Done — regards, Revi 12:39, 25 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Pxos@fi.wikiquote

Status:  Done

I have become useless as an administrator at the Finnish Wikiquote. I do not visit the project at all and I am anything but active in local affairs. Therefore the only logical conclusion is to resign. --Pxos (talk) 12:04, 25 April 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. — regards, Revi 12:38, 25 April 2018 (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
