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.

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-stewardsconnect 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.

Aram@ckbwiktionary

Status:    Done

I also need IA flag. Please note that I have already been granted both rights for three months, but it may be better to give them without expiration as I may not be able to do everything quickly. Click here to see my previous requests. Thanks! Aram (talk) 21:03, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Aram, thanks for the request. I'm sorry, but I can't locate any recent discussion about your interface adminship on that page; I only see requests from April. Am I missing something please? Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:10, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec Thank you for your quick reply! No, you’re not wrong, but is it mandatory for me to run again? The community has full confidence in me. Furthermore, if one or two users had asked for these rights, I would not have assumed this responsibility and participating as a regular user would have been enough for me. However, If it is obligatory for me to run again, then it is okay and I will. Thank you! Aram (talk) 21:39, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the re @Aram. Indeed it is mandatory; the goal is to ensure the community trusts you / has confidence in you (which is hard to verify without a voting). The length of appoingment is generally growing, up to indefinite grant (once the community meets MVR criteria). I'm making this  On hold -- please link the discussion here and we'll proceed from there. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:06, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
‌Hi again @Martin Urbanec, since you last comment, I have run again for administrator and interface administrator rights. Today is the seventh day. I want to say that I have asked for these rights permanently because we really may not be able to do everything in a short period of time. Please check these out:
Thank you for your efforts! Aram (talk) 19:02, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2024-09-10. 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. --Superpes15 (talk) 22:03, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Aro_salar@ckbwiktionary

Status:    Done

I am writing to request the granting of one-year administrator rights to a successful candidate in the ongoing election on Wiktionary. The election has been in progress for almost a month and has garnered two supporting votes with no objections. Additionally, it's worth noting that the candidate has previously held admin rights on the Project. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 21:42, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2024-03-10. 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.
Hi @Sakura emad:, since it's their first confirmation, we can give the flag only for 6 months (being only two votes)! Thanks for the understanding :) --Superpes15 (talk) 22:08, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Understood, thanks for the hardwork superpes!. 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 22:25, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Not done

Hello. This request is for Administrator only.——虹色分子 (talk) 06:14, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@虹色分子: Your request appears to be at the wrong place. It is noted at the top of the page you put it on that it is in a different place. Please see zh:wq:Wikiquote:申请成为管理员 -- Amanda (she/her) 16:15, 19 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
q:zh:Wikiquote:申请成为管理员/存档#虹色分子 is marked as not done. Stang 16:02, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP:A 🆕 apply is already submitted on correct webpage. 虹色分子 (talk) 00:28, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP:Excuse for disturb again. I wonder if I apply adminship access for only one day, how is the necessary standard should I meet, thx.——虹色分子 (talk) 15:03, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've separated the applications in accord to community standards. This is the second time in a row that they submitted request for adminship. It was formatted incorrectly, and did not gain enough support either (see here for a summary). —— Eric Liu（Talk） 09:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Formatted incorrectly is not the reason to close the discussion. Nobody gave support vote, nobody gave against vote either. 虹色分子 (talk) 07:02, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is not appropriate to consecutively create request, or to bypass the community. And as (one of the) administrator of the wiki, I determined that there was no consensus to promote them. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 06:18, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The policy does not stipulate that continuous application for admin is not allowed. No discussion due to low participation, not I'm trying to bypass the community.Zhwikiuqote and other projects like this, with small number of participants, it is very common to have no consensus, in your view, those small projects can never have any admin appointed, right? 虹色分子 (talk) 06:45, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That is just gaming the system. Additionally, for their inappropriate application format (they even forgot to leave a sign in their first application), lack of counter-vandalism and other administrative experiences (mentioned in their first application), and such uncivilized behavior, I as a normal user believe that they are not yet ready for the adminship. If they waited for a while (as a common practice) after their first unsuccessful application and improved upon it, I would have support their second application to be promoted. But not in the current situation, as they now have attempted to consecutively apply for the third time in a row, clearly ignoring the warning. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 10:31, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss local affairs thoroughly there. Unfortunately we cannot make decisions about local affairs. Here, please show a link that has all been discussed locally and that you have received support from the community. --Sotiale (talk) 06:45, 10 September 2023 (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.

Eldarado@tlywikipedia

Status:    On hold

The Wikipedia language section of my mother tongue has been opened. I need to perform some technical tasks there, so I require Interface Administrator privileges. Additionally, I hold roles as a sysop and a bureaucrat on the azwiki. eldarado (talk | contributions | meta page) 20:15, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Eldarado: you will need to provide a link to the local discussion, which should be open for at least a week. — xaosflux Talk 20:55, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux: I know, but wiki opened today. And needs some technical edits, what's your advise? --eldarado (talk | contributions | meta page) 21:00, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eldarado for anything urgently immediate, mock up the change locally and ask over at SRM where a global sysop can action it; for this request, start whatever that project's version of wikidata:Q16503 will be and at least post your intention there. You will likely need to be an admin and an intadmin for certain tasks unless you know you won't need both. Temp grants will likely start at 3 months in duration. — xaosflux Talk 21:33, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eldarado: We have been over a week. Do you have a link? -- Amanda (she/her) 13:50, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mustafa MVC@trwikiquote

Status:    In progress

Since I lost my 2FA codes, after several emails with ca@wikimedia.org, I got this authorization and 2FA was removed at the same time. Now I have 2FA again and I think there is no need for a discussion again for this authorization. Mustafa MVC (talk) 16:01, 6 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If WMF removed, then it's up to WMF to restore. If they decline to restore, then we have to go through normal processes and a new discussion is required, especially since this was in practice a concern related to account security. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:48, 9 September 2023 (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-stewardsconnect 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

Unite together@wikifunctionswiki

Status:    Done

A request for translation administrator by Unite together was started on 2 September 2023, and has been successful. Terasail[✉️] 07:58, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Amanda (she/her) 13:44, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@AmandaNP: It seems to be inconsistent that the right has been granted permanent here and just temporary for one year in other requests on Wikifunctions a few days/weeks ago. --Ameisenigel (talk) 17:46, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.
