Revision as of 14:21, 7 December 2016
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
!stewardin the channel to get the attention of stewards. Otherwise, you can type@stewardfor 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.
Quick navigation: Administrator | Interface administrator | Bureaucrat | CheckUser | Oversight | Removal of access | Miscellaneous | Global permissions
| Cross-wiki requests |
|---|
| 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.
Requests
COPY THE FOLLOWING CODE to the bottom of the appropriate section below:
and also mistakes. Thank you. }}
Administrator access
See Administrator for information about this user group.
- If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.
- Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin connect .
- 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.

- On hold till 5 December. --Stryn (talk) 08:06, 29 November 2016 (UTC) reply
- @Stryn already 7 days passed,, in discussion 4 supportss and 2 opposes but I am really hope for this right. If you check then I am most active user in this project. Last 30 days I have made more than 2 months. I have made more than 820 edits and 5000 global edits. I want make this community more strong. This right will inspires me to more work. So please do it.★ Seth talk 10:06, 5 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- Not done. Unfortunately, per the local policy, to get an adminship, you need at least 75% of support. Seems like there's nothing wrong, just that you should be more active before asking the rights. So try to stay a bit more active on the project and then if you want, ask the rights again. Best regards, --Stryn (talk) 10:18, 5 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I'm a native speaker of Zazaki and want to help 'Asmen' -our administrator-. Thank you! Mirzali (talk) 11:44, 30 November 2016 (UTC) reply
- [discussions removed] On hold until 7 December. By the way, the "Embassy" page is marked as being for non-Zazaki speakers. Is there maybe a more apt page for holding adminship requests? --MF-W 03:23, 1 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- Dear MF-Warburg! Please consider my explanation for this matter. I didn't want to bring it into the discussion, because it would be distorted and chewed again. Best regards! -- Mirzali (talk) 06:20, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- The candidate was an admin and abused the access (here). I commented on Embassy page, 3 of supporters are not even active on Zazaki wikipedia. So, there are only invited accounts for the vote. P.S. I will not discuss the request here.--Gomada (talk) 08:53, 1 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- This is not the discussion page Gomada. You don't have to pretend to have the final word. -- Mirzali (talk) 06:01, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- The steward that decides this should review the Meta RFC above, it seems User:Quentinv57 desysopped Mirzali because of this 2013 discussion. --Rs chen 7754 19:12, 2 December 2016 (UTC) reply

Bureaucrat access
- 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
- 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.
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list. Subscription to checkuser-l will be handled by list owners. Make sure new users contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacy connect and #wikimedia-checkuser connect .
Oversight access
- 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.
- Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.
- When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.
Removal of access
- 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.
INeverCry@Commons

I suffer from Bi-Polar Disorder and Panic Disorder. I don't think that being an administrator is a good thing for me. Doing less stressful work, like category sorting and license reviews is probably a much better and healthier choice for me. I think the community at Commons knows I care and that I enjoy working on the project, but I think they would want what's best for me. I think that a removal of my sysop right at Commons is best thing for my health at this time, and going forward. I don't think I'll ask to be an admin anywhere again. There's just too much stress and conflict involved, and I can't handle it well at all. Thanks for your time. lNeverCry 18:57, 4 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- It's a pity to see this happening. INeverCry has been one of our best admins. Unfortunately Commons is such a hostile environment from time to time. Jcb (talk) 19:24, 4 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- Not much to add after Jcb's comment. Personal health outweighs any community needs, please get well and stay well! --Krd 20:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC) reply
- removed, I just want to say it is very mature decision. Thank you INeverCry,einsbor talk 18:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC) reply

I'd like to be desysoped from ca.wiktionary. I'm quite inactive there and my contributions can be done without the sysop buttons. The two active admins that remains in the project can handle (and if not, I'll ask for a resysoping; I've told them already). I'd like to concentrate in the other 2 adminships that I keep. Thanks!

Please remove my Steward permission on meta wiki and my sysop and bureaucrat flag on it.wiki. Please also remove my access to OTRS and login on wmftools. Thank you. --M/ (talk) 14:20, 7 December 2016 (UTC) reply
