Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Osiris (talk | contribs) at 22:22, 2 January 2013 (+2 more for simplewiki). 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.

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 you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots 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:

Administrator access

Steward requests/Permissions/Sysop-header

Aldar Badmaev@bxr.wikipedia

This would have been a temporary admin appointment, but [3] for edit warring. Snowolf How can I help? 07:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
But... Aldar is the only active native spiker in our wiki, and we need his adminship. And block in other wiki is not the reason for the refusal. For example, I am also permanently blocked in the Russian wiki. So what? I became the administrator of the Buryat wiki, raised activity, brought to the 1000 articles, invited users. Now we have 50 active users and 1115 articles. Thanks for permanently blocked in the Russian wiki man (me). So think.--Gubin (talk) 19:03, 17 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
I would like some input from my colleagues, which is why I haven't marked this request as not done, but the personal attack and vandalism on another user's page that I've linked to which took place during this very RfA is most troubling to me. This is not appropriate for an administrator. Snowolf How can I help? 17:10, 24 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
I am not sure if the users that participated in the rfa were aware of this. How about notify them about it and see if the community has any opinion? --Bencmq (talk) 14:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Ushau97@dv.wiktionary

Status: On hold

I want to become an admin on this wiki as no admins are active. I want to bring major changes to this wiki as it is very outdated. --Ushau97 (talk) 12:08, 28 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold until 4 January 2013. Ruslik (talk) 12:31, 28 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

MIKHEIL@ka.wikiquote

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013年07月02日. -- Jusjih (talk) 09:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Thank you! —Mikheil Talk 09:41, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Tranminh360@vi.wikisource

Status: Done

Currently we have 3 permanent sysops but are no longer active, Tranminh360 is a user that has been very active over the last 3 years and significantly contribute to the Wikisource project of Vietnamese community. We want him to be our permanent sysop not temporary one.Trongphu (talk) 04:30, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

I understand how you feel but I do not think that there's enough support for a permanent sysop in that election. Snowolf How can I help? 12:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2013年07月02日. To prolong your (interface) adminship, please start another election a few days before your temporary access expires, and after a week post your request again to this page. Thanks. -- Snowolf How can I help? 12:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

You know it's annoying that he has to keep coming back here every 6 months to prolong his adminship? How many votes does he need to become a permanent sysop? This user from last year only got 8 votes and still became permanent sysop at vi.wikisource.Trongphu (talk) 21:37, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Honestly, each steward uses a slightly different metric. Personally, I go for temporary for everything below 5 supports from active community members on the specific project. This is however a ballpark figure, and there's not an exact yardstick, I'm afraid. Sorry. Snowolf How can I help? 21:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Rschen7754@wikidatawiki

Status: Done

Please close this RFP as successful. Thanks. Techman224 Talk 19:51, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

The general leaning of the community is to keep adminship temporary [5] until the RFC on administrators closes [6]. --Rs chen 7754 19:59, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2013年04月02日. PeterSymonds (talk) 20:06, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Status: Not done

Hi! H.b.sh in fa.wikinews need a Bureaucrat access. thank you for attention --Ομιλία Sahim 14:42, 1 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Unfortunately this is declined, as there are not enough comments to show that the community really needs additional bureaucrats. Please make use of the steward requests pages in the meantime, and when the community grows, we will be happy to create additional bureaucrats. Many thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:20, 1 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

MBisanz@enwiki

Status: Done

MBisanz has been appointed to the English Wikipedia's Audit Subcommittee, and requires access to Checkuser (he already has oversight). Could someone please also subscribe him to checkuser-l? Thank you! For the English Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, Hersfold (talk) 04:35, 1 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Oversight access

To request to have content oversighted, ask in #wikimedia-stewards , or, for requests regarding English Wikipedia email oversight-en-wp@wikipedia.org. 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

<translate>

  • 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 [[<tvar name="self-discussion">Talk:Steward_requests/Permissions/2011#Self_requests</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="crat-rem">Bureaucrat#Removing_access</tvar>|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 [[<tvar name="aar">Admin activity review</tvar>|Admin activity review]] applies.
  • See the [[<tvar name="usage">#Using this page</tvar>|instructions above]] for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.</translate>

Siebrand@nlwiki

Status: Done

User Siebrand has not made enough edits (250 since the change of policy, as decided by the community here) to sustain his admin rights. --Kippenvlees1 (talk) 20:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Done, with regret. Many thanks for your efforts over the years, Siebrand. Snowolf How can I help? 20:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Reality006@trwikipedia

I summarize issue. On 15 July 2012, 4 users blocked by 5 administarator because of be a troll. Then community of Turkish Wikipedia against these blockings and the majority of the community started Rfc. however nothings happened and unfair blockings didn't unblock and I try to unblock these 4 blockingns (21 users support and 1 user neutral for unblocking of users). Firstly, tr:User:Kibele reblocked these users and then tr:User:Vito Genovese blocked me indefinetely. So I don't want to be administrator no more. Please remove my access. Thank you and best regards and sorry for my bad English. Also you can see my answer and you can see my first approve of removal of access because of this issue. --Reality 20:23, 27 November 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold for 24 hours. PeterSymonds (talk) 20:32, 27 November 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
I kindly ask this to be kept on hold for a longer period of time. Again the issues on the local wiki are the reason behind this and those should really be resolved first. If user still wants to resign at that point, it is fine then. Right now this is an emotional response unhelpful to tr.wikipedia. -- とある白い猫 chi? 14:11, 28 November 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Status: Done

Please remove my oversight rights on enwiki. --Deskana (talk) 23:40, 29 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Huji@yiwiktionary

Status: Done

I was given sysop access on yi wiki in 2008, to help fix a problem with RTL layout. I have not used it since, and I don't see a reason to keep this permission.

Also, a zillion other users have sysop and bureaucrat access in that wiki. Most of these were given without voting, and IMHO, can be revoked too. --Huji (talk) 18:54, 31 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. Please start a discussion on yiwiktionary (if needed) and make a list of the users who can do without admin rights. Thanks. :) Trijnstel talk 19:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]

Huji@mznwiki

Status: Done

I was given importer access to mzn wiki in may 2012, as a one-month permission. I was under the assumption that it would be revoked without my asking; it hasn't been, and I don't see a reason to keep this permission. --Huji (talk) 18:54, 31 December 2012 (UTC) [reply ]
