Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
(Redirected from SR/P)

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

[edit ]

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

 |domain =<!-- Such as en.wikibooks -->
 |user name =

}}

Administrator access

[edit ]

See Administrator for information about this user group.

  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.

  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent adminship and the duration of adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Aristorkle@cbk-zamwikipedia

[edit ]

I am requesting for general and interface admin rights for the Chavacano de Zamboanga Wikipedia. There are currently no administrators, and I would like to import templates and modules, protect pages, and assist in translation and upkeep. Thank you. Aristorkle (talk) 12:42, 8 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The directions were not followed. This requires certain community announcements. And based on this undone request it appears you don't understand the interface, but are asking to manage site-wide javascript/css files as well. — xaosflux Talk 12:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Xaosflux I have requested permission here. I rescind my request for interface admin rights. Thank you. --Aristorkle (talk) 04:58, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I've reopened above for someone to review. — xaosflux Talk 11:41, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I'm inclined to grant a short-term adminship as long as they keep to the mentioned tasks above. Their userpage states that they do not know the language but it shouldn't be too big of a problem if they're not doing content-related work or other tasks requiring knowledge of the language. EPIC (talk) 00:51, 16 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Agree with EPIC, especially given that the user is guided by their local group. --Johannnes89 (talk) 10:02, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025年04月18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. -- Johannnes89 (talk) 10:02, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

JJPMaster@enwikibooks

[edit ]

I'm not sure if we need to wait a whole week (as per MVR) for a temporary RfA request with a duration of two weeks. Wikibooks:Administrators does not have a minimum time requirement. Leaderboard (talk) 04:02, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

All discussions need to last a week, but since it's only two days left I'll place on hold for the remaining two days. EPIC (talk) 05:24, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
One for discussion on WB. The RFP page says "about a week" and doesn't specifically exclude temp admins from that. If the project wants a different policy it should discuss and agree it for the future MarcGarver (talk) 08:35, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@MarcGarver From EPIC's reply above, it appears that there is a hard minimum waiting period of 1 week. Or is it that if the community policy says five days for instance, that can be honoured by the steward? Leaderboard (talk) 08:41, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
In my opinion, stewards are acting in the absence of a local bureaucrat and should follow the local policy. That's what they do, for example, for inactivity de-sysops. Probably best let EPIC answer what they meant! MarcGarver (talk) 08:54, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Per MVR discussions should be open for at least a week, at least if it's being granted from the stewards' side (If enwikibooks decides to elect a local bureaucrat then they may perhaps be able to enforce their own rules if they decide that discussions can be open for a shorter amount of time) - that's what I initially meant. EPIC (talk) 09:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@EPIC, @Leaderboard, @MarcGarver: In the RfA, I said that MVR also appears to imply that the minimum length of adminship is three months, but Leaderboard suggested that it didn't apply in my case. Is that also a hard requirement? JJP Mas ter (she/they) 14:35, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
No, there is no fixed length for temporary adminship. How long temporary adminship is granted is decided on a case-to-case basis, but it's generally not granted below three months, except if the user explicitly requests a shorter tenure or in some other exceptional cases. EPIC (talk) 14:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Okay, thanks for the clarification. JJP Mas ter (she/they) 14:43, 15 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
A week has now passed, on Wikipedia's 24th anniversary. JJP Mas ter (she/they) 02:14, 16 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Qaraqalpaqpan@kaawikipedia

[edit ]

Dear global administrators. I was administrator (and interface administrator) of Karakalpak Wikipedia (kaa.wikipedia.org) from December 2022 till September 2024 continuously. During my adminship I corrected many pages with mistakes, deleted pages with wrong names and etc. I'm in a good relationship with other users, so I ask administrator and interface administrator access. I put a discussion on kaawiki admins page on 03.12.2024 and it has passed more than required 7 days. Just for your information and thank you in advance. Qaraqalpaqpan (talk) 14:27, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2027年01月20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.
The discussion has been open for quite some time, but since it is not too old yet, I'm granting this request. EPIC (talk) 15:11, 20 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Janabaevazizbek@kaawikipedia

[edit ]

Hello. On September 2024, I filled my candidacy for adminship on kaa.wikipedia.org. I met all the criteria specified for adminship on the kaawiki project (at least four people must vote (number of votes: yes 8, no 0), number of edits at least 500 (at that time I had put my candidacy on the kaa.wikipedia page with 1700 edits).

I am currently actively editing the Karakalpak Wikipedia.

From now on, I would like to have an adminship in the Karakalpak Wikipedia project in order to work more efficiently and improve it. Thank you. Janabaevazizbek (talk) 17:14, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Unfortunately we cannot accept this discussion in its current state. It has been open for way too long. You need to meet MVR requirements, so the discussion should be open for at least a week, but only about 1-1.5 months at most. Four months is not a valid request, you will need to open a fresh discussion. You can return here with a new request after a week has passed and we'll grant if there have been no objections. I will therefore have to close this as Not done at the moment. EPIC (talk) 17:31, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Interface administrator access

[edit ]

See Interface admin for information about this user group.

  • If you are requesting adminship and the interface admin at the same time, you can file one request in administrator section and state you want interface adminship as well.
  • MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request interface administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
  • Since the end of 2018, all interface administrators are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

  • Stewards: Please use {{Systmp}} for approved temporary requests.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

Please start a new discussion about requesting the permission on the local village pump, administrators' noticeboard or a designated page for requesting permissions each time you request or renew interface adminship.

  • Discussions should be open for seven days. Please request interface adminship here seven days after discussions started. This page is not the place for any discussions or votes. (For wikis with few active users, it is OK to have no comments.)
  • If you only want interface adminship for specific tasks, please state for how long and for which tasks you need it. Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Murat Karibay@kkwiktionary

[edit ]
Status: Not done

Hello, 4 days ago I got admin rights in Kazakh Wiktionary, but I can't change css and some templates, because I need interface admin rights, please give me rights. Thanks -- Murat Karibay (talk) 07:32, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. @Murat Karibay per MVR you need to open a local request for interface adminship, your previous discussion only mentioned adminship [1] [2]. Personal opinion: Interface admin permissions are quite sensitive and inexperienced users can easily break stuff. If there are specific changes you want to make which require IA permissions, you should ask at Steward requests/Miscellaneous for global sysops / stewards to do the change for you. --Johannnes89 (talk) 09:27, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Local request done. Murat Karibay (talk) 10:13, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@Murat Karibay: Please also remember to enable two-factor authentication until then if you haven't already done so, as per WMF requirements for this role. (you can do so by following the instructions at kk:wikt:Special:OATH) EPIC (talk) 10:33, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Done. Murat Karibay (talk) 12:54, 18 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Bureaucrat access

[edit ]
See Bureaucrat for information about this user group.
  • In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
  • A small project does not need bureaucrats. Currently whether a promotion is valid or not is decided by stewards. See here for a guideline.

Requests for removal of access should be posted at the section below.

CheckUser access

[edit ]
See CheckUser policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
  • One-time CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access is only used by Stewards or when the mandate of the CUs has an expiry date specified in local policies.

Pallerti@huwikipedia

[edit ]

Pallerti talk 07:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done for on-wiki part. Sending a notice to list admins to take care of additional accesses. EPIC (talk) 08:02, 21 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Oversight access

[edit ]
See Oversight policy for information about this user group and the policy governing the use of this tool.
  • To request to have content oversighted, ask for a steward in #wikimedia-stewards connect and contact a steward privately. This section is for requesting access to the Oversight tool.
  • For contact details about oversighters across the wikis, refer to this page.
  • Note that temporary Oversight access is not permitted and temporary status is only used by Stewards .

  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

Miscellaneous requests

[edit ]

Requests for permissions that don't fit in other sections belong here. Importer rights can be granted on most wikis by stewards only. Please gain local community consensus before posting a new section here.

Note that the following types of permissions requests belong on separate pages:

  • SRB — Local or global bot status
  • SRGP — Global permissions

Aafi@wikifunctions

[edit ]
Status: Done

Kindly grant TA rights as per consensus. signed, Aafi (talk) 13:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done (set as indef, f: is getting more mature - for users without other expiring groups this seems appropriate for TA's now unless the discussion suggests otherwise.) — xaosflux Talk 13:54, 17 January 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Removal of access

[edit ]
  • 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 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 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 Admin activity review applies.
  • See the instructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.
