Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Avraham (talk | contribs) at 18:03, 2 March 2018 (→‎OlegCinema@be.wiktionary: D 1 YR). 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.

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 you're requesting access for multiple bots, leave this field blank and give a list of these bots 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.

Administrator access

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.

Wargo@pl.wikibooks

nobody opposed —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wargo (talk)

Is there a reason for why 2 admins edited in the last days, but did not comment? --MF-W 01:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Wargo: ^. Matiia (talk) 04:14, 13 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
It should not be required to anyone comment/vote, but what bothers me is that the RfA page was not updated when a new RfA was started. Stryn (talk) 15:33, 22 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Pavroo and Persino: --Alaa :)..! 20:31, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Uchup19@su.wiktionary

I created discussion aboout one year ago, I hope can accepted as sysop for 1 year later. Thanks-Uchup19 (talk) 14:27, 24 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

You better to start a fresh discussion. Stryn (talk) 14:40, 24 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
I have created new discussion here https://su.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Sawala#Ajuan_Administrator_deui.-- Uchup19 (talk) 00:18, 26 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Uchup19: what means "Sawala"? I ask because the page is interwiki linked to Wiktionary:Wiktionary:Bots. Stryn (talk) 10:29, 26 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Sawala is village pump--Uchup19 (talk) 15:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
On hold until 5 March. Stryn (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Uchup19: Sorry, but I've a question, if it the village pump, why it is not linked with this item? --Alaa :)..! 20:37, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Aha, I investigated a bit and it happened after the interwiki links from enwiktionary were imported to Wikidata. "Sawala" was sometimes a request for bot flags, see this. Now fixed. Stryn (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

OlegCinema@be.wiktionary

No one is against OlegCinema (talk) 12:08, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold until 2 March. --MF-W 19:18, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2019年03月02日. Discussion open with no significant opposition for sufficient length of time to support temporary adminship for 1 year. Neither enough response nor enough project activity to justify permanent adminship at this time. 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. -- Avi (talk) 18:03, 2 March 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Bureaucrat access

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

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.

Oversight access

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.

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.

Bellayet @ bnwikisource

Status: Not done
I'm not seeing any clear consensus at that discussion. It seems that at least half of the discussion participants disagree with this outcome. Was there a previous discussion that established that policy? – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:45, 18 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Ajraddatz: I 'supported' the removal of rights a month ago (and still do), and someone else not meaningfully active on the site was neutral on the idea ("I have no preference on this matter.") two years ago—neither of which necessarily constitutes disagreement. I brought up Bellayet's relative inactivity (on January 28th, prior to his February 15th reappearance) at a similar discussion on bnwiki. Mahir256 (talk) 18:06, 18 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Ajraddatz:, there is no oppose vote at all, it's a neutral vote from an user who was not active in Bengali Wikisource. The community discussion and consensus about the admin removal policy due to inactivity can be found here. Bodhisattwa (talk) 17:48, 19 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
Sorry for the late reply, I'm in the process of moving cities and starting a new job. We are hesitant to enforce such inactivity policies, because without a large community, one or two users can set whatever standard they want to. This standard could be easily abused, and we wouldn't have much way to tell. When there is such a small community, we usually prefer that you use the AAR instead - this is an automatic process that will remove inactive users after two years. – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:11, 25 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Ajraddatz: The AAR page seems unmaintained since the start of 2018; where am I supposed to add information about this exactly? With respect to removal of rights after two years, does this mean his rights will be revoked after March 24 (two years after his last edit on bnwikisource) or before then (at least since Hrishikes's original request was dated January 22, 2016)? Mahir256 (talk) 02:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]
@Ajraddatz: , Bengali Wikisource is not a small Wikisource now. I know as per your policy , we have no huge Administrator. And He is no more active in Wikimedia World. Jayantanth (talk) 11:08, 26 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm requesting for removing my 'crat and sysop flags, please. For the moment, I'm lacking time to use my permissions. Thank you. Jmvkrecords ⚜ (Intra talk) 17:36, 28 February 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

User DoRD@meta

Status: On hold

Please remove global rename. I am not able to contribute in the capacity of global renamer nearly as much as I expected, so there is little point in keeping the permission. Thanks. —DoRD talk 19:05, 1 March 2018 (UTC) [reply ]

Miscellaneous requests

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
