Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by MPelletier (WMF) (talk | contribs) at 16:47, 8 May 2013 (→MPelletier (WMF)@test2wiki: Undo done, the bit can go away now.). 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 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.

Дагиров Умар@ce.wiki

Greetings! Please grant me an access to the administrative rights at the Chechen Wikipedia for 6 months. I need it for deleting, restoring and (un-)protecting pages, (un-)blocking users (especially unblocking users, who have been blocked by previous admins for no valid reason), editing MediaWiki namespace etc. Due to decision stated here, I have requested the status locally, and received sufficient support (7 "pro" to 0 "oppose"), mostly from active contributors. I have already received an access previously.--Дагиров Умар (talk) 18:37, 1 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2013年08月07日. Per point #4 of this RFC, all initial administrators will be on a temporary basis. 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. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:10, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Si Gam@acewikipedia

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Please grant me as permanent sysop since there is no sysop in Acehnese Wikipedia. Thanks. -- Si Gam (talk) 10:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

What is the criteria for a user to be able to vote? Can you link to the election policy? -- Tegel (Talk) 10:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Most wikis do not employ any eligibility criteria for active electorate and do not have specific policies regulating the elections... Snowolf How can I help? 10:31, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
The question is about why this user is not allowed to vote. -- Tegel (Talk) 10:34, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
I'd say that the question is how Si Gam feels it proper to strike a vote made against himself. Snowolf How can I help? 10:37, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
I can't believe he did that and still expect to be granted a permanent adminship. Even after Ruslik left a hint he still didn't take the cue. I might vote for you if only you'd allow people like Jose voiced his opinion. But since you decided to suppress his vote, I can't help you any further. But you might apply for another temporary adminship if and only if you would allow people to vote against you. ✒ Bennylin 11:44, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
(削除) Did I correctly read that you voted for yourself, Si Gam? Snowolf How can I help? 10:31, 7 May 2013 (UTC) (削除ここまで) Misread. Snowolf How can I help? 11:19, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Which one? -- Si Gam (talk) 10:59, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

The voting policy in Acehnese Wikipedia can be found here. The criteria is the user must understand Acehnese language. -- Si Gam (talk) 10:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Said policy was made up by yourself this morning after Tegel asked what the policy was, to justify your earlier action, taken inappropriately and in full conflict of interest. Snowolf How can I help? 11:15, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Not done This request cannot possibly be granted. You have shown on this very morning that you have no comprehension of what is expected from an administrator and past episodes don't help either. Snowolf How can I help? 11:15, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Logically, is a user who do not understand Acehnese may vote? -- Si Gam (talk) 11:21, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
The policy is here. -- Si Gam (talk) 11:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
I don't see how that relates to requests for adminship. Please, stop climbing on mirrors. You removed a vote that you didn't like despite knowing full well that you had a dispute with that user and then made up a policy on the spot to suit your needs when questioned about your actions. There's nothing you can say to try and make it look less worse than it actually is. Now, move on. Snowolf How can I help? 11:32, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
I think you can read this sentence clearly: "Please vote below (voting only for Acehnese Wikipedia user that understand Acehnese)". -- Si Gam (talk) 11:41, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

For someone who was globally locked and came back used another account, you just have bold demands. DarkoNeko (talk) 11:57, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Hahaha. Thanks. For some one who acted as dictator by freedom of speech. :D -- Si Gam (talk) 12:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Simple fact is that your community is too small for permanent administration, and it is probably too small to make a rule that is that discriminatory, and one that would seem to be contradictory to the whole of WMF. Pretty certain that this request is now closed. Not done closed. — billinghurst sDrewth 12:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
What are requirements for permanent administrator? How can you say discriminatory? Which part that contradicts with WMF? If we allow all user to vote, it is same like allowing bot user to vote. -- Si Gam (talk) 12:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Hi, I noticed all of you have argued about giving Si Gam a permanent sysop. May I tell you, Acehnese Wikipedia right now has no active or permanent sysop. Users who have a willing to contribute on this wiki are also a few. In my opinion, giving a permanent adminship to him might help raise the contributors. I joined this wiki because of him. I can't agree if all of you won't give such a permanent adminship to hold acewiki to him. Also, I requested to be a sysop, too, to give him a hand. You may see it here. I can't believe you all don't care about "small wiki" like acewiki by not granting a sysop. Please don't ignore his effort developing this wiki. So, if you reject him to be a permanent sysop, I'll also refuse to be a sysop, and acewiki should be closed then. — Rachmat.Wahidi (talk) 13:21, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Truthfully, I'm a bit curious. You stated that you don't know much Acehnese yourself, yet you nominate yourself to be admin, and apparently you're allowed to vote. Dan tolong jangan membuat ancaman di sini, karena hal-hal seperti itu malah membuat apa yang Anda perjuangkan bertambah buruk. Pahami dulu permasalahan dan sejarah Si Gam dengan WMF, dan jangan langsung mengambil kesimpulan yang salah dan gegabah. Dan ada atau tidak pengurus di ace.wp tidak akan berdampak pada penutupan Wikipedia bahasa Aceh. ✒ Bennylin 14:18, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
The presence of admin(s) is not a necessity for a Wikipedia to work. Even without admins, contributors still can revert vandalism, and put a "delete" tag on pages that need to be deleted. That's global sysops and stewards' job to delete pages on projects with no admin. Everyone else still welcomed to edit and create new articles in Acehnese Wikipedia, and aspire to become an admin. The comments from other stewards above doesn't reflect your nomination per se, unless you decided otherwise.
Suatu Wikipedia tidak tergantung ada tidaknya pengurus, karena tanpa pengurus pun para kontributor tetap dapat mengembalikan suntingan vandal, dan memberi tanda "hapus" pada halaman-halaman yang perlu dihapus. (Catatan: Wikipedia Aceh pernah tanpa pengurus selama beberapa bulan). Tugas pengurus global dan penatalayan adalah untuk membantu proyek-proyek kecil tanpa pengurus. Semua orang yang lain tetap diperbolehkan menyunting dan membuat artikel baru di Wikipedia bahasa Aceh, dan menjadi pengurus. Komentar-komentar di atas tidak mencerminkan nominasi pencalonan diri Anda, jadi silakan tidak dicampuradukkan. Silakan hubungi saya di halaman pembicaraan apabila Anda perlu informasi lebih jauh, dan saya akan dengan senang hati membantu supaya Anda dapat memajukan Wikipedia bahasa Aceh. ✒ Bennylin 14:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Rachmat Wahidi is Acehnese speaker. What he has stated as did not know Acehnese well was that he is not expert in Acehnese. So do not compare him with Jose77. Saya sudah memberikan pranala-pranala perseteruan antara Wiki Aceh dengan WMF. Saya rasa beliau sudah mempelajarinya dan bisa mengambil keputusan untuk menyatakan hal di atas. Dan, ancaman terkadang mesti dibalas dengan ancaman. -- Si Gam (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Ya, Wiki Aceh pernah tanpa pengurus. Dan hasilnya jadi Wikipedia hantu. -- Si Gam (talk) 17:30, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Dear Si Gam, this request has been closed two times by two different stewards. Now, please stop modifying it. Thanks for your understanding. -- Quentinv57 (talk) 17:58, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Hunsvotti@fi-wiktionary

Status:  In progress

I'm an administrator at the Finnish Wiktionary (fi.wiktionary.org), and User:Hunsvotti was approved as administrator, 100 % support. He should be given the administrator rights (voting has ended). Our local bureaucrat is not available on short notice, so I decided to ask for the rights here and the local bureaucrat will make the rights permanent when he'll be available (I'll leave a message on his talk page ASAP). Please, ask for clarification/elaboration if necessary. --Hartz (talk) 15:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi. Can you please send an email and a talk page note to TJ first? We have granted in the past rights on wikis with bureaucrats if they're inactive (no problems with that) but I'd preferr if we gave him a couple of days to respond to see if our intervention is necessary. I'd propose to set this on hold for 48 hours and, if there's no action by TJ; flag the user as the vote looks valid. -- MarcoAurelio (talk) 15:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]
Ok, I thought that it would be quicker to request the rights here, but I have now sent an email and a talk page note to TJ. --Hartz (talk) 16:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC) [reply ]

<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>
