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.

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.

[edit]
Status:    Done

I'm an administrator of Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia and would like to request to renew this status again. I wish to be granted a permanent admin as I am an experienced editor of the Ghanaian Pidgin Wikipedia. Thanks DaSupremo (talk) 21:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2026-10-26. 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. There are things I didn't like about this vote, such as some signs of canvassing (e.g. for one of the voters the vote is their first edit), also some things are not as they should be, for example I would expect gpe:Wikipedia:Administrators to list some information on who admins are and how to become one rather than just list DaSupremo, but in the end it is fine in a wiki this small. On the other hand, unfortunately the community is too small for the permanent rights yet. --Base (talk) 07:59, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

The vote has ended with 3 supports and 1 opposition. In my defense, that only opposition was based on accusations not related to my record as administrator in Wikiquote, just like before. I hope stewards take that into account. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 15:21, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-10-26. 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.
Although there was an opposer, there is enough support for an extension per MVR. EPIC (talk) 15:30, 26 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.

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.

Due to our policy, please remove administrator access due to lack of log admin action for 365 days. (The policy requires both edit and log action), see eg. Steward_requests/Permissions/2024-10#Kpjas@pl.wikipedia. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 09:27, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Teles@global

[edit]
Status:    Done

Hi! I would like to request removal of my Steward permissions. It's been a long journey since 2012, I am pleased to have been part of it and learned a lot, but I am now focusing on other areas of wiki. Prior to being a Steward, I was a global sysop and rollbacker. If possible, I would like to retain those, and also global renamer, as I plan to keep working on it. Thanks, folks, and keep up your great work.—Teles «Talk ˱C L @ S˲» 14:42, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions.
@Teles: FYI, I moved this from SRGP to SRP. I don't see an issue with restoring GR and GS since you held them before your stewardship, but since you didn't hold GRN prior to steward rights, I think you would have to open a formal SRGP request for that. EPIC (talk) 15:01, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC, thanks. I will open a request for g. renamer then. —Teles «Talk ˱C L @ S˲» 16:08, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Teles has been a steward since before global renamer existed. Given that stewards have equal permissions as GRNs in that area, I think it should probably be possible to assign him that permission as well. – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:08, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Our general practice in the past as far as I know has been to restore the rights if they were held prior to stewardship, thus why I'm quite sure this would require a formal request (as was the case with for example Avraham and -revi), though I don't have any objections to adding it if the other stewards think it can be added, since the resignation is uncontroversial and they've had the rights through the steward flag. EPIC (talk) 16:19, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That is the usual practice, though I wonder with global rename if that is needed given the scope overlap is 100%. Then again I guess it's the same with GS/GR, and I can only think of one case of those rights being assigned following resignation to someone that didn't have them before. I'm fine either way :-) – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:25, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your service! --Ameisenigel (talk) 17:10, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

┌─────────────────────────────────┘
 Done Though our paths did not cross much, despite the both of us being stewards, I would like to thank you for your long service and hope to see you return in the future. Until then, enjoy your time off! I removed the on-wiki rights as well as stewardwiki access (there's also quite a bit more to be removed), and restored your GR and GS bits, though I waited with adding GRN per above. With that said I did not unsubscribe you from renamers-l since the SRGP request is so far clearly inclined to pass, so I don't see much point in removing it just to add it back to you in some time.
