Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Requests for permissions
This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 'If your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community.

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.


Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Chechen Wikipedia

Salam! I request to receive Bureaucrat Access on the Chechen Wikipedia. I have submitted a local request and the vote has lasted exactly for 1 week. I have received 5 votes for and 0 votes against all by active contributers to the Chechen wikipedia and part of the local community.

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. 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, and 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).

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

Stewards: When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

You may request that your own access be removed here; stewards will grant such requests immediately if you provide proof that you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki. This may be accomplished most easily by placing a note in English on your local talk page confirming your request.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept 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 very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

Danny Wool on various projects

As it appears that Danny is no longer working for the foundation, I would think that his self-granted rights on other projects should be removed:

  • User:Danny@hewiki
  • User:Danny@tpiwiki
  • User:Danny@hewikisource
  • User:Danny@klwiki

Self processed, but after election:

  • (削除) User:Danny@enwikisource (削除ここまで)
And likely this non-self granted permission on commons:
  • (削除) User:Danny@commonswiki ([1]) (削除ここまで)

Access on other projects appears to have already been removed (either by himself before de-stewarding himself or by other stewards).

User:Trek00 on italian wikinews

Hello, I'm really inactive on the italian wikinews, so I ask to remove my sysop flag on that project. Thank you. --Trek00 12:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Please confirm your request by editing your local talk page with your account :) guillom 12:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
Done. You can see the confirm on n:it:Discussioni_utente:Trek00#Please_to_remove_my_sysop_status. Thank you. --Trek00 13:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal. 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.

Buryat Wikipedia

I request 5 days of sysop access in this Wikipedia. At this moment, there are no sysops, and there is a slight backlog at bxr:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. I plan on deleting the nonsense and creating a list of protected pages to prevent recreation of those pages. As stated before, I am administrator at the English Wikipedia and have done some cleaning in other small Wikipedias.

Aymara Wikipedia

I request temporary sysop to clear the current backlog at ay:Catégorie:Candidates for speedy deletion and to create a list of protected pages to prevent recreation. The only sysop the Wikipedia has, ay:User:Marius hasn't edited since October 2006 (and a search through all his other accounts reveal he hasn't edited since last year). I am administrator at the English Wikipedia, and had already requested and done some cleaning in smaller Wikipedias in the past.

Hawaiian Wikipedia

After this attack by the Communism vandal, I request sysop access on this small Wikipedia to better monitor/counter vandalism there. Its only admin has been inactive since August 2006.

Chechen Wikipedia

Hello! I request temp sysop access on Chechen wikipedia for the 3 month temp period. There has been some vandalism and I also would like to do some translation interface from the current russian into the native Chechen language.

chr.wiktionary, ho.wiki, bi.wiki

Hi,

all those three wikis are inactive and there are no local sysops. I would like to have temporary sysop status there to clean up the usual spam. Thanks & greetings, — Pill δ 16:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Expires June 12 2007--Cspurrier 17:21, 12 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

kj: Wikipedia

I'd like to renew my expired temp admin status on that wiki, as I see it is getting spammed again my attempt to get a certain offensive title remove via Multilingual speedy deletions proved unsuccessful. --Johannes Rohr 15:39, 18 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Done, till 18 August. MaxSem 15:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Roa-Rup Wikipedia

I'd like admin (or bureaucrat) status on this wiki to translate the interface, and better monitor vandalism. This wiki has 100+ articles, and has no local administrators. I would like bureaucrat status to flag bot accounts, and to possibly set up a local administrator election system. Thank you. Thunderhead 22:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Done(Adminship) Expires June 20 2007. If you want to apply permanent adminship or bureaucrat status, you need to hold a community poll first. --Cspurrier 22:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
No problem. You know I had to try. Thunderhead 22:42, 20 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Arabic Wikinews

I would like to request temporary sysop access for 3 months in the Arabic Wikinews. There is no local bureaucrats and only one administrator (wikinews:ar:User:Ash2005) whose last contribution was on 23 December, 2005. There is no community. The project is inactive. I will try to activate it. I am a former administrator in the Arabic Wikipedia, so, I understand well the duties of an admin. I will use sysop rights to localize the Mediawiki name space. I have also spotted a large number of pages created as vandalism that needs to be deleted. This edit in my Arabic Wikinews user talk page confirms my identity. Thank you. --Meno25 04:11, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. Expires June 22, 2007.--Shanel 04:15, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you very much. I was promoted. Admin tools are working. --Meno25 04:28, 22 March 2007 (UTC) [reply ]
