Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
(Redirected from SRP)

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 requirements 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.
  • All processed requests are automatically archived after 24 hours of no activity. Use {{PinSRP}} on a request section to prevent it from being archived, or {{ArchiveNowSRP}} to archive a request section as soon as possible.

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.

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.

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.

Đức Anh@viwikibooks

[edit ]

This wiki currently has no active administrator, so I am requesting admin and interface administrator rights. I have about 3 years of experience in both roles on viwikibooks. I would appreciate another 1-year term (or a 2-year term if possible) for both permissions. Thanks. Đức Anh (talk) 04:57, 29 July 2026 (UTC) reply

Hello stewards! I was the only administrator at isiZulu Wikipedia, I'm requesting for the renewal of admin ship rights. I am an active contributor and willing to continue with adminship duties. The discussion was open for more than 7 days. I now post it here for approval. Thank you!Fongcwele (talk) 19:26, 30 July 2026 (UTC) reply

BlitzkriegBoop@ptWikisource

[edit ]
Status: In progress

Hi Stewards,hope you are all well. I would like to request that admin rights to Portuguese Wikisource; I was an admin until just under a year ago when I had to stop contributing due to health reasons. Given that I'm nearly out of treatment, I would like to resume my role as contributor and admin to help support the community. I believe that at present there are no active administrators on the pt Wikisource - the two other users with admin rights seem to have had theirs expired in recent months. I'm hoping that they will come back at some point but in the meantime I would like to maintain the platform to the best of my ability. I opened the discussion just over two weeks ago and have received a number of supportive votes from regular editors. Many thanks! BlitzkriegBoop (talk) 14:40, 31 July 2026 (UTC) reply

Dear stewards, kindly grant admin and interface-admin rights to this user. The voting period has been running for a week, and no one oppose this nomination. Thank you. · · · 🌸 Rachmat04 · 🍵 23:25, 1 August 2026 (UTC) reply

Htawmonzel@mnw.wiktionary

[edit ]

Dear Stewards, My administrator rights on mnw.wiktionary will expire on 2 September 2026. I would like to request an extension of my administrator rights. In addition, I would like to request Interface Administrator rights for mnw.wiktionary. The Department of Mon Studies at Mon National College is planning a long-term project to develop a Mon–Mon dictionary through Wiktionary, and these rights will enable me to support and maintain the site as the project progresses. Thank you for your consideration.Htawmonzel (talk) 15:56, 2 August 2026 (UTC) reply

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.

Otherwise stewards will decide whether to assign permanent interface adminship and the duration of interface adminship. See Steward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

Altronic@gdwiktionary

[edit ]

I was already granted administrator rights from this discussion, and now I need to be able to import CSS and JavaScript code in order to have certain templates and modules properly function. (see a page like this one, where the conjugation tables can't be opened due to the lack of JS, and none of the tables are styled) Altronic (talk) 20:42, 29 July 2026 (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.
  • Since 2026, all bureaucrats are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

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

CheckUser access

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.
  • Since 2026, all CheckUsers are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

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 .
  • Since 2026, all oversighters are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • 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

So I make it sure that I wont make any mistakes on the wikibooks project. thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈 12:57, 24 July 2026 (UTC) reply

This is all from mrwikisource? Why can't transwikiimport be used for this? — xaosflux Talk 15:18, 28 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@Xaosflux, transwiki allows one page at a time, there many pages to be transferred and I am going to be go in the batches of 50 pages or less. that would be less tedious and manageable at both the ends. If you or anyone is ready to help me on regular basis to import this. I will keep on bothering you. But logistically it is difficult. thanks for the help. QueerEcofeminist🌈 16:07, 28 July 2026 (UTC) reply
Thanks for the note, what is the duration of this task? — xaosflux Talk 18:08, 28 July 2026 (UTC) reply
@Xaosflux, I am assuming it to be till my admin-rights ends, till 2027年07月22日 08:21. or for next 6 months atleast. thanks. QueerEcofeminist🌈 07:46, 29 July 2026 (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.
