Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Magister Mathematicae (talk | contribs) at 19:52, 9 February 2013 (→Removal of access ).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.

COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below:

CheckUser access

Steward requests/Permissions/CU-header

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>

Best, Huib talk Abigor 11:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

The only rights removable by us are the sysop on mediawikiwiki and incubatorwiki. I will proceed to remove them. I am declining to lock your account, as per previous discussion, we don't really do locks on request. Snowolf How can I help? 01:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Done for the part that we can remove, namely I've remove admin and importer from incubator and admin and transwiki importer from mediawikiwiki, the rest is in the hands of local admins and 'crats and as mentioned before, the lock request is declined.

Miscellaneous requests

Steward requests/Permissions/Misc-header

Importer (both import and importupload permissions)

User RolandUnger@de.wikivoyage
Status: Done

--RolandUnger (talk) 13:41, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello, please see Importer. Importer right is granted only for specific necessities, but you've not specified scope, expiry, local discussion. You most likely don't need this right, maybe you need more transwiki import sources to be defined? --Nemo 13:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
DerHexer pointed me to [1]. If I understand correctly, you want to import from another Wikimedia project. Per Terms of use/de#7. Lizenzierung von Inhalten (c), you have to link the source page you're copying/translating in the edit summary. If – for non-legal reasons – you want to also import the history, you need to establish a local policy which says so and ask for the transwiki import sources to be added to your wiki's configuration and/or user rights to be added locally as needed (for instance if you wanted bureaucrats to add/remove transwiki flag). --Nemo 14:14, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Additionally to transwiki imports we need XML import rights to import from the own wiki in case of splitting articles to keep the history, and to import complete articles from other language Wikivoyage versions which are to big to import them. In this case we must split the XML files and import them successively. In both cases XML imports must be done. Both Der Fussi and me have long-term experiences in administrating wikis. --RolandUnger (talk) 14:38, 8 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Done. Seems to be okay for me. —DerHexer (Talk) 12:35, 9 February 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
