I have currently already temporary granted sysop status on this wiki.

If your wiki has one of these, you should not use this page to request permissions.

According to policy, there is no TEMPORARY status of checkuser. Either there are already checkuser on a project and these people must be asked to do the checkuser. Or there is nobody and a steward must do it. Giving a temporary status to anyone just simply asking it to a steward, with no agreement from the local community is against the checkuser status rules. Giving it with no request mentioned anywhere is even more problematic. Breaching these rules should imply removing the status of the steward if he can not be trusted to follow commonly accepted rules. If any one has a problem with this rule and wish that from now on, checkuser status be given to anyone without any community discussion, he must have the current rules changed, not breach them.

Note: When giving someone checkuser, please (a) ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l and (b) email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list. (The list may contain confidential information.) - David Gerard 15:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Apology: No-one's been adding new people to checkuser-l for a while. (Kelly Martin was but she's taking a longish break.) I'm going to try to clear the backlog this weekend. My sincere apologies for this, and I'll try to keep up with list requests in future. (It's really not a very interesting or active list, so you're not missing much ;-) - David Gerard 19:05, 6 October 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I request sysop access on test.wikipedia.org:

There isn't a local request process, but I'd like to be a sysop for testing.

There is no bureaucrat or steward in Turkmen Wikipedia. Can I be? I have sysop rights currently. Thanks.tk:User:Parahat--193.140.214.67 13:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold. Asked the user to open a vote, get the support and link the page [1]. --Paginazero - Ø 14:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I have been a Wikipedian since 2001 and I am an administrator on the English Wikipedia, an administrator and co-founder of the Scots Wikipedia and a bureaucrat on the Scots Gaelic Wikipedia. Once again I am requesting bureaucrat access on sco.wikipedia for sco:User:Mendor. This was previously refused because we are too small despite unanimous support for him and despite the fact that size has is only loosely correlated with level of activity or the need for a bureaucrat. However we have been swamped by bots for the last few months and can do nothing about them because we lack a bureaucrat. It is essential that we have one. Thus I am making this request again:

• Language Code: sco
• Local Request Link: sco:Wikipedia:Unsuccessful_adminship_candidacies#Mendor
• Local User Page of requestor: sco:User:Derek Ross

Thanks -- Derek Ross 22:09, 10 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

You can block users as an administrator, too, and both of you seem to be active (sco:Special:Listusers/sysop). As explained on bureaucrats, a bureaucrat does only have the ability to grant bot status, sysop & bureaucrat status and can rename users. At the moment, there seems to be no special need for that; if such things are required, you can ask here. I'd recommend you to make a vote, as far as I can see there has not been a bureaucrat vote for you yet. Greetings, —Pill δ 05:50, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I understand that I can block people but the bots do useful work so I don't particularly want to block them. They just need to be hidden and there definitely is a need for that as you can confirm if you look at the recent changes for the last few weeks. -- Derek Ross 19:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I've understood so far but nevertheless you could make a vote for bureaucratship, I guess. The interwiki bots that are operating right now should be granted bot status, but I don't think this is really urgent so you should make a new vote. Greetings, —Pill δ 20:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I don't mean to be difficult and I completely agree that the need for a bureaucrat is not urgent but I must point out that I have already organised a vote, received unanimous support for the candidate, and still been refused (because, apparently, the Scots Wikipedia is "too small"). Nothing much has changed on the Scots Wikipedia in the intervening period, so if I organise another vote, and receive unanimous support for the candidate again, I doubt that we will have any more participants in the vote than last time. Thus I would expect that once again we would be refused. Even if we were to have more participants than last time, I have no idea what the minimum number is supposed to be (because none has been specified on this page). Yet the need for a bureaucrat on the Scots Wikipedia, urgent or not, still persists. In this situation is it really surprising that I wish to appeal to the common sense of the stewards rather than relying on a process which has proven to be time-consuming, arbitrary and unpredictable when I have tried to follow it to the letter on a previous occasion ? -- Derek Ross 05:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Required number of votes for bureaucrat elections is fixed by the local project community, very small projects often do not even have a minumum number of votes required for granting the status, the decision whether the candidate is given the status required is made by the stewards then. Nevertheless, since community seems to be quite small so far, possibly he will be granted (temporary) bureaucrat status. —Pill δ 14:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I request bureaucrat access for pam:User:Katimawan2005 and pam:User:Val2397 on pam.wikipedia. The Kapampangan Wikipedia has neither sysops nor bureaucrats. These users are native speakers of Kapampangan. pam:User:Katimawan2005 is the one who proposed this project and pam:User:Val2397 is one of the most active contributors to this project. Here is the other relevant information:

Thank you. Harvzsf 01:05, 4 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

The bureaucrat flag enables a user to appoint sysops and bots, but it does not automatically imply the activation of sysop functions for the user him/herself. I suggest these users to be given a sysop access first. --Paginazero - Ø 12:58, 9 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

• w:User:MONGO has left the English wikipedia Click here for his departure announcement. Please desysop his account. Operation Overlord 22:08, 8 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
  • There is no policy on the English Wikipedia that users who say they are leaving must be desysopped. —Centrx→talk • 04:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
    • Please don't desysop him until if and when the ArbCom decides it. 66.231.130.14 02:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
• Unless the user themselves actually and verifiably request desysopping, or unless the process defined by the wiki for involuntary desysopping has been executed, stewards should not and will not desysop someone. MONGO himself needs to request this, or a representative of ArbCom needs to request it should the remedies in the case pass and the case becomes closed. Oppose Oppose desysopping MONGO at this time as neither of these things have happened. It may be helpful for a steward to officially say this. ++Lar: t/c 16:48, 14 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

• This is taking up too much time, I request that I be desysoped. w:User:Yanksox Yanksox 01:00, 12 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I am going on a holiday from the 12th of December to the 21st of December. During that period, I would like to request desysopping on the Simple English Wikipedia. Here are my credentials:

• Administrators' Page

Thank you.-- Tdxi an g 09:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Sorry, but I can't see the reason why you want to get rid of your admin-status. I think if we would start doing things like that, we get an overhead of deadmin/admin, that just creates more work and less transparency (why was this admin deadmint/admint again), If you would be away 6 months, ok, but some days I think there is no problem staying admin. Would it be ok if we let you stay admin? Fantasy 容 13:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Discussion was moved to Requests for comments/Cswiki issues 3. No further talk on this issue here unless the community builds its consensus. Thank you. --Aphaia 02:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I would like to have temporary sysop access on the French Wikiversity so as to start editing system messages, importing pages from wikibooks, etc. (there isn't any sysop for the moment [2]).

Can you prove you are the same person as cs:User:Vít Zvánovec? Thank you. — Timi chal 20:21, 20 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, I can. -- Vít Zvánovec 21:06, 20 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Please note this user has a long history of blocks on cswiki, and the renaming would clear the log. — Timi chal

How can you be a sysop, if you don't know MediaWiki? Renaming does not clear the log. -- Vít Zvánovec 16:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Of course he means that the log will not change -- hence all your blocks will be listed under your old name, and will not appear in searches for your new name. This does effectively clear it. — Dan | talk 01:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, you are right, but you forgot Special:Log&type=block&page=User:..., which is a part of the User Contribution page. Concerning Block Log page, at :cs: is not usable, because Egg filled it with his robotic blocking (more than 5000 blocks) -- Zacheus 08:23, 25 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

I apologize you were right[4]. In my view it's a bug in a User Name Change. -- Zacheus 22:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

It is not the function of stewards to overrule rename users requests of a project. If a wiki has active bureaucrats then you have to deal with them. --Walter Do you have news? Report it to Wikizine 20:56, 25 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

But I asked for a name change across many different wikis. I rewrote my petition. -- Zacheus 15:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC) [reply ]
