Steward requests/Permissions

< Steward requests
(Redirected from RfP)
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

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

==== User name@xxproject ====

  |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.

Am writing to request the position of adminship in Fulfulde Wikipedia which will give me access to monitor and Clean up unqualified articles in my local wiki. Fulani215 (talk) 10:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You were already granted adminship yesterday. See Steward_requests/Permissions/2024-12#Fulani215@ffwiki. EPIC (talk) 13:07, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Status:    Done

I would like to request administrator access in this project to monitor edits and maintain the uniformity of new entries. There is also an ongoing #SheSaidPH campaign and this would help keeping edits in check. Thank you. BiancaBrazal (talk) 05:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kunokuno: Any opinions or objections to this? Pinging former administrator on the project, since there is almost no community and the only supporter is a user with 4 edits. EPIC (talk) 17:20, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I have no objections to this request, and I support her being willing to administer the local wikiquote project. We would like to bring in more editors for this project and are hoping someone will take the lead in doing this. Thank you very much. Kunokuno (talk) 13:28, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you!   Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-03-21. 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. EPIC (talk) 21:46, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request for admin and interface admin rights for Tai Nuea Wikipedia. Thanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 23:05, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Saimawnkham: There doesn't seem to be anyone who commented on the request, and your userpage doesn't state if you have any proficiency in Tai Nuea. Are you native in the language of the project? EPIC (talk) 21:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello , @Amire80:, @SatiGahi95:, @Ninjastrikers: How should i answer this question? Help me to explain. Thanks.Saimawnkham (talk) 01:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @EPIC I hope you may checked my status and activities. As you may known that Tai Nuea language is the same language family of ours, Kra–Dai. As for that I can help tdd Wikipedia such as creating Templates, Modules and MediaWiki files those are essentially needed by tdd. If you assume I am not enough to help them let it be. May be I am less aware of protocol. Thanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 06:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any issues with granting the flags since you hold A/IA elsewhere, I only asked if you had proficiency in the language since there were no supports and you had 42 edits on the project (we have declined some similar requests in the past). I think we could close this as done if there are no objections, though. EPIC (talk) 07:37, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPICThanks. Saimawnkham (talk) 15:15, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I ask to give me administrator access to develop the Kazakh Wiktionary as there are no administrators now and I would like to make it convenient and informative for users. Murat Karibay (talk) 18:08, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, in order to become an administrator, you first need to open a local request for adminship (on the local village pump or a dedicated local page) to give other users an opportunity to voice any potential opinions. As far as I can see there is no local discussion, and you did not link to one either. With that being said, please open a local discussion first, wait for at least a week and file a new request, and we could take it from there.   Not done until then. EPIC (talk) 21:52, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, done. This talk. Murat Karibay (talk) 18:44, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are no active bureaucrats or admins on the project. Project is mostly inactive, but has a number of protected pages, and some cleanup is required, unapproved bots have created pages with grammatical issues and similar. User:Sotiale approved my previous adminship request on the project for 3 months here. Thank you! —Ivi104 14:51, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be no local request? (only the previous one from 2022) You will require a fresh discussion, so   Not done at the moment. Please open a new request locally and return in a week if no objections arise. EPIC (talk) 16:11, 22 December 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.

@Yupik: Has the user accepted the nomination anywhere? EPIC (talk) 18:41, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Please remove my admin rights. Other priorities in life mean that I can no longer and no longer want to fulfill the role of administrator. All in good spirit. Thanks StuivertjeWisselen (talk) 10:33, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. EPIC (talk) 10:34, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Made their last GS action more than six months ago at 10:12, 20 June 2024 (UTC) on Wikimedia Incubator. Per the policy, their global sysop rights should be removed. I thank them for their service and thank you for processing this. -- CptViraj (talk) 12:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Done Thank you for your service, Danny. @Martin Urbanec and Vermont: Could one of you take care of the ML part, and IRC if they have that access as well? EPIC (talk) 12:55, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Done both. Martin Urbanec (talk) 00:21, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Note: There was a logged action on Wikifunctions one day after, though it was performed while they still held sysop on that wiki.) EPIC (talk) 13:06, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove my sysop and OS rights. I guess the global Temporary account IP viewers flag should also be removed. --Esteban16 (talk) 00:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. @Esteban16: For your information, we will only remove the OS flag since Wikidata bureaucrats can now remove sysop, so please ask at d:WD:Bureaucrats' noticeboard for that to be handled. EPIC (talk) 00:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Done with thanks for their service. EPIC (talk) 08:05, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Per User_talk:EPIC#Sysop_and_Bureaucrat_rights, the removal has been reversed. I've referred the decision on whether to remove the flags to the local community, so please hold further discussions there. EPIC (talk) 23:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
