Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by -revi (talk | contribs) at 09:38, 1 March 2022 (→‎Furti@eswikipedia: d). 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.

Requests

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

==== User name@xxproject ====
{{sr-request
 |status = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain =
 |user name =
 |discussion= 
}}

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.

Doostdar@fa.wikibooks

Status: On hold

Request for prolongation. Doostdar (talk) 11:22, 11 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

On hold until 11 February 2022 Ruslik (talk) 20:52, 13 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
I think Ruslik means On hold until 18 February 2022. Please also remember that the opposition requires discussion. -- Amanda (she/her) 02:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
@Doostdar: What the reason for the single opposing vote? Ruslik (talk) 20:44, 23 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
This user is a Bureaucrat in Persian Wikipedia and admin in some other Persian Wikis, but is not active in Persian Wikibooks. It seems that the reason for the opposing vote is that I'd recently deleted some untranslated notices sent by MediaWiki message delivery bot from the Village pump. I repeat that the opposed vote is from an inactive user with less than 100 edits for 10 recent years. --Doostdar (talk) 21:38, 24 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
You better respond to him in that discussion. Ruslik (talk) 20:11, 26 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
He doesn't ask any questions. He only says "The user with the lack of a good perception of the project should not be an admin". What's your answer to his statement? It seems strange because I have been an admin in Persian Wikibooks for many years. --Doostdar (talk) 22:29, 26 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
I took a look at the discussion with the help of Google Translate as I can't read Farsi. The oppose vote by Mardetanha translates to what the requestor said above. The rest of the users support Doostdar's nomination so it's a 4-1 vote (80% support). @Niyumard, while supporting mentions (again, this is all via Google Translate) that he "does not agree with his practice to use the Desk politically", with @4nn1l2 mentioning later that they removed some threads from that page because of that. Can we please get some context over this? Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 12:24, 27 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
Doostdar is a well-meaning user who actively contributes to the project and has maintained the project running (the only permanent admin there with about 300 edits actually does not contribute to that project regularly). However, the user has posted some weird comments to the Village Pump of the project such as a plea to set free a political prisoner who is also a poet! We asked them to stop doing that and I removed most of the unrelated topics from the Village Pump (birthday anniversary of Reza Shah, nostalgia about 1980s and 1990s Iranian movies, privacy regarding photos on the internet, etc.) They also post a lot of congratulation messages for occasions and festivals such as Nowruz , Yalda night , Sadeh , etc to the Village Pump which I believe is unnecessary, but let's not be stringent regarding these congratulations messages. I still support the candidate. 4nn1l2 (talk) 12:49, 27 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
I second all that @4nn1l2 said, and also vouch for @Doostdar and believe he will prove a worthy moderator for Persian Wikibooks project. Niyumard (talk) 18:00, 27 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Masssly@dagwikipedia

My admin rights on Dag Wikipedia vanished or expired. Could you please re-enable it for longer? My last request was only 6 months ago. -—M@sssly ✉ 12:39, 20 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

@Masssly: You would need to start a new discussion and wait 7 days and then we could evaluate your request. -- Amanda (she/her) 14:28, 20 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
On hold until 28 February -- Amanda (she/her) 02:14, 25 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Imranqazi90@ks.wiktionary.org

Status: In progress

Hi,

I would like to renew my admin rights as my 6 months temporary admin rights are expiring on 3rd March 2022. I have already conducted a voting on 17th February in which I received no opposition for renewal of my admin rights for the third time. I wish you a beautiful day. Looking forward to hearing from you. Imranqazi90 (talk) 20:18, 27 February 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Interface administrator access

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.

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.

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

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.

Furti@eswikipedia

Status: Done

The es.wikipedia policy for sysops (and bureaucrats), which can be found here [3] (the relevant part being this one) indicates that sysops must conduct at least 50 administrative actions (i.e., those that can only be conducted by sysops) in a 2-year period in order to maintain their flags. The aforementioned user has not conducted the 50 required administrative actions during the 01-03-2020 to 01-03-2022 period, and thus the flags ought to be removed as dictated by the policy. Thanks very much. Ñ (talk) 00:19, 1 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Note that the correct date format is YYYY-MM-DD </half-joke>
That being said, I see 45 actions for Furti for the duration of 2020年03月01日~2022年03月01日 and 4 rollbacks. I'm not sure about the rollback's status on eswiki, but even if we include rollback it goes to 49 actions, just one below the threshold. Removed. — regards, Revi 09:38, 1 March 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
