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.

Interface-translations are done at Betawiki.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards ^connect 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 on-wiki approval of your local community.

Using this page

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 (or other means of confirming that the request has approval), and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Thank you. ~~~~

Confirmation of identity

Certain permissions (notably CheckUser and Oversight) additionally require users to confirm their identity. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the office.

Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at: Steward handbook/email templates.

For stewards: Identification noticeboard.

Requests

Administrator access

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

Placet experiri @ ro.wikinews and Whiteman @ ro.wikinews

I request permanent sysop access on ro.wikinews for n:ro:Utilizator:Placet experiri. The current administrators have been inactive for nearly one year now. See also: n:ro:Wikiştiri:Candidaţi administrator. Thank you! --Emily007 16:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold May I ask why people are voting there under IP and why people vote there who didn't anything else on the wiki than voting? example? --Thogo (talk) 17:31, 9 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi! All those people are Wikipedia users who only want that someone takes care of that wiki deleting the vandalism (See: n:ro:Categorie:Articole de şters articles nominated for speedy deletion). We have already discussed this problem on ro.wiki and the two users agreed to improve the quality of this wiki and to delete the vandalism. --Emily007 19:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, we would like to suggest temporary-sysop status, since these votes have not been made by the community of ro.wn, and because it is too small for permanent sysop. We would grant them 3 months if that is ok for You. The status can be renewed here easily or if until then a community has grown they can vote for a sysop then, thanks, best regards, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 19:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you! Best regards, Spacebirdy! --Emily007 20:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Sw-Wiki

I request sysop access on sw-wiki for sw-User:Muddyb_Blast_Producer. We had a vote on http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wakabidhi and it was 6-0 pro. (by sw-user:kipala) --91.62.26.120 07:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Gu-Wiki

I request sysop access for gu-User:Dsvyas on gu-wiki. We had a vote Here and it was 2-0 pro. --Jose77 07:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Sw-wiki

I request bureaucrat status on sw-wiki for sw-user:Oliver Stegen. We did an election at http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wakabidhi. For Bureaucrat the vote was 7/0 für user:Oliver Stegen. (by sw-user:Kipala) --91.62.26.120 07:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

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. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. 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, 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), and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-checkuser.

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: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced here. When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

Removal of access

If you want to request that your own status be removed, please don't forget to place a note on your local user talk page (preferably with an English translation). This is required to prove your identity. And then add the request here. You should add the difflink of your local confirmation edit to the 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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. 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.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====
I request removal of access.
*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''Local Confirmation/Request Link:''' <!--Difflink of the local confirmation edit (for own requests), or link to the community decision-->
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]
Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Eirik@no.wikinews and Kurtber@no.wikinews

I request removal of sysop access for these users. Both users are fine with it, and both active users at no.wikinews (i.e. myself and User:Marius2) support it. The reason is that we do not want inactive users with sysop status. These users haven't really been active since 2006. If a more comprehensive summary of the discussion is needed, please post a request at n:no:project talk:administratorer.

On hold. We have to discuss that first since it doesn't look very clear. --Thogo (talk) 19:18, 4 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

I left a notice on n:no:Wikinytt:Administratorer#diskusjon Thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 19:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Both have confirmed now. --Kjetil r 21:41, 4 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Kurtber removed. Eirik on hold, waiting community pronouncement about his 'crat flag--Nick1915 -^{all you want} 01:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Hapsiainen, J.Pitkä and Jannev @fi Wikipedia

A consensus was reached on reducing administrator inactivity time from two years to six months before admin status is removed (policy). According to this new Finnish Wikipedia policy, above mentioned three administrators should have their adminship removed.

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.

Copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the list of sysops and bureaucrats, local request link, link to your local user page, and the preferred duration with a reason. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

==== Username@language-code project-name ====

*'''Language Code:''' xx
*'''List of local sysops:''' 
*'''List of local bureaucrats:'''
*'''Local Request Link:''' 
*'''Local User Page:''' [[xx:User:Example]]
*'''Preferred duration and reason:''' 
Thank you. ~~~~

Please summarize your request in the "summary".

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to Requests for username changes.(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)
