Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
Shortcut:
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 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-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

[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.

Requests

[edit]

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

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

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.

Onegaborg@olo.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Not done

I'm an administrator of Livvi-Karelian Wikipedia and would like to request to renew this status again. Onegaborg (talk) 08:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't look like the voting page was linked from anywhere. Where was it advertised to meet MVR? EPIC (talk) 08:59, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Onegaborg: Pinging since I forgot to do so. EPIC (talk) 12:49, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll mark as not done at the moment, as the user confirmed that the discussion had not been linked from anywhere (though they did link it now, cf. here), so I told them to open a new request a week after the notification (i.e 25 October). EPIC (talk) 08:22, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, my adminship was expired on 5 October and I want to renew my adminship status. It was 7 days in discussion. Ariandi Lie Talk with me 11:56, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

[edit]

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

[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.

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

CheckUser access

[edit]
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

[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-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.

Melos@it.wiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

User Melos is a Steward and he is identified to WMF. Please put and keep  On hold until tonight, other elections are still in progress and at least two OS are necessary. M/ (talk) 12:22, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until one of the others are successful. EPIC (talk) 12:25, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done since Lollo98 was now also successful, so congrats to both! Since the oversighters are brand new, I assume there are no complimentary accesses to handle for now. EPIC (talk) 21:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lollo98@it.wiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

User Lollo98 is the second elected suppressor, it is now possible to grant rights also to Melos (above). Thank you! --Civvì (talk) 21:36, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and congrats to both! As above, I assume there are no complimentary accesses to handle for now (except perhaps access to #wikimedia-privacy if they use IRC). EPIC (talk) 21:39, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Added GTAR (not needed for Melos as is steward). — xaosflux Talk 22:49, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User Ruthven is a CheckUser and he should be identified to WMF. --M/ (talk) 08:16, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, congrats and good luck as well! Same as the two above, there should be no additional accesses to handle at the moment (and they already have the temporary account IP viewer right as a CU). EPIC (talk) 08:19, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yiyi@it.wiki

[edit]
Status:    On hold

User Yiyi has been asked to identify to the Foundation and sign the agreement. Please check and act accordingly. Ciao, M/ (talk) 15:25, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @EPIC:. I signed the document on October 22, at 10:09 PM (UTC+2). --Yiyi (talk) 22:31, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, @JSutherland (WMF) and NahidSultan (WMF): would one of you be willing to have a look? EPIC (talk) 04:45, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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

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.

LtPowers@enwikivoyage

[edit]
Status:    Done

Please remove LtPowers' bureaucrat perms as they haven't made any admin actions (as defined by XTools) in over 1 year and have not responded in over 14 days to keeping their bureaucrat perms. SHB2000 (t • c) 22:12, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Status:    Not done

Please remove sysop permissions per Admin activity review. The user has been inactive since 24 July 2022, and the last admin action was one 26 June 2022. It is been about two years and 3 months of inactivity. signed, Aafi (talk) 09:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think you may have misunderstood. AAR is performed once per year, since AAR this year has already passed, they will be removed in next year's activity review. So Not done, the only way of establishing early removal would be a local vote. EPIC (talk) 09:48, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC thank you. I don't think there is any active community to participate in a local vote discussion but I get your point. No issues in having the flag with them for some more time - Left for Admin activity review/2024. Kind regards, signed, Aafi (talk) 10:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
