I am currently temporary sysop on this wikti, originally joining last August when the wiki was badly damaged and dormant. Since then, I, with the help of some other folks, have successfully revived the wiki. New editors are regularly joining and our mainspace page count has doubled. In the space of just six weeks, I've accumulated more than 1,000 edits. I have successfully translated most of MediaWiki space into the local language and am now feeding changes back via Betawiki (thanks, Siebrand :) ). As this is my native language, I took this on as a "labour of love" and would love to stay on as sysop there. My recent local RfA, found here, has been running over a week now & has received support from the key editors there. My temporary approval has previously been logged on meta here and is due to run out soon.

I request a temporary three-month sysop access for User:Barat.
He is Native Uyghur. Barat's elementary and high school education was in Uyghur, his BSc degree was in Chinese, and now he is currently studying for A Master's Degree in English. He also knows Kazakh very well and some basic German.
Barat wishes to change the implement the Multi-Script Conversion toll, similar to the one currently in use on Kazakh Wikipedia[1], [2].

I've had temporary access twice before: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_permissions/Archives/2007/08#st.wikitionary.org_Sesotho_Wiktionary_Administrator_Request
I've contributed the greatest amount of the almost 900 Sesotho words found on the wiktionary, see:
http://st.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jakoli4
There are some untranslated words and phrases in the environment that needs to be completed and there doesn't seem to be any administrators for it available.
Kind regards Jako Olivier (JAKOli4)
- Hi Jako,
- For normal adminship, you need to gather consensus at the community first. Please do so if you want to become regular admin. Effeietsanders 09:55, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Done until 01 May 2008 (about 6 months), not enough editors to hold a vote for permanent adminship. Feel free to request an extension at the end of that term. —{admin} Pathoschild 21:52:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

- For permanent sysop access: please gather community consensus first, and provide a url to that. For temporary sysophood, please request some lower. (It's best is Ewornar requests that explicitely himself) Effeietsanders 16:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- How come, I expected exactly this response? Please, folks, the hsb.wikt was only just created. Ewornar is the one who proposed it and created almost all the existing content on the incubator. He needs sysop access to get started. There is no community yet, just as there is no content. It's absolutely pointless to demand from him to simulate elections on a completely empty wiki. Please show some common sense and grant him at least temp sysop access. --Johannes Rohr 17:19, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, then please put the request there, and not for normal sysophood :) Effeietsanders 09:53, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you --217.95.11.104 16:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Seven votes in favor. I am doubtfull whether that community is large enough. I would like to suggest to let the community wait a little longer before getting an own bureaucrat (only five admins). However, please another stewards opinion :) Effeietsanders 17:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea, as it may help the community to expand and be more independant. DarkoNeko 14:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
- If I may add my humble opinion here, the reason why we think we need a bureaucrat is the user-name-spamming. We have a vandal who loves to create user accounts in order to insult a group of German Wikipedia Admins, by means of the user name alone. Those need to be renamed. This vandal comes back every few months or so with a new IP range (maybe he goes on name-spamming vacations?) and a new range of dirty words. At the moment I am counting around 20 user names of this kind, and you might agree that linking them here on Meta will only serve the vandal's purpose (of getting attention and spreading his insults) once more, while this could be done with less of a fuss by our own bureaucrat. --bar:user:libellulia 11:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

- Automatic List of local bureaucrats/sysops: w:wuu:Special:Listusers/bureaucrat; w:wuu:Special:Listusers/sysop
- Local User Page: wuu:User:O
I request access because this Wikipedia has been dormant for quite a while now (both bureaucrat and sysop are inactive for 1-2 months now), and I would like to revive it by not only writing articles, but also performing admin/bureaucrat tasks when requested. I will also make use of these tools to translate the user interface as well as pages that haven't been fully translated. Thank you. O2 (息 • 吹) 02:43, 13 October 2007 (GMT)
- Hi! To translate the interface, BetaWiki is by far the best place to do it, you should not do it on the local project. As for bureaucrat access, a wiki doesn't really need a bureaucrat until it has about 5–6 administrators; until then, the number of bureaucrat actions needed is very small, and can be performed by stewards instead. To become an administrator, you should initiate a vote, and let it stay open for at least a week before requesting access here. Thanks, Jon Harald Søby 11:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Not done -- Bureaucrats are needed if there are more and more tasks to be done.

- Local User Page: ce:User:Girdi
Salam. I'd like to request a CheckUser access on t he Chechen Wikipedia. There is no current local community at the time, only active editors such as me and well, not very active at the moment Mega Programmar. I have done a lot on the Chechen wikipedia, and I'd like to do more. I am currently a Bereaucrat and Sysop there. The link above will take you to the Administrators page, where it can be confirmed I am indeed a Bereaucrat and sysop. Thanks! --Girdi 15:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- The Checkuser policy requires that there needs to be at least two checkusers on any given wiki and these need to be elected by the community. (Therefore, the stewards cannot grant this request.) If you need a CheckUser done for some reason, please put them on Requests for CheckUser information and a steward will perform the check for you. Cbrown1023 talk 16:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Please standby with this vote for a little bit. I have contacted the other bereaucrat about this. I think two checkusers would be better to have on Chechen wiki at the moment. Thank you for the information sir. :) --Girdi 16:12, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- You'll need approval from the local community (25 votes), and you're required to have two or more checkusers at any time. Majorly (talk) 16:17, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hello Majorly, the problem with it is we don't have that big of a local community, only 2 or 3 active people. Which since a new term of university commenced, activeness has declined for us. Although I am talking with Mega programmar, the other active beraucrat to try to have 2 checkusers on the CE wiki at the same time. We will see. :) --Girdi 16:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- If only two or three are active, you don't need local checkusers. You'll have to ask stewards :) Majorly (talk) 16:32, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well it is always good to think of the future. :) And it saves inconvience for Stewards, I am sure they have more important work to do then to worry about a 150 article Chechen wiki project. (didnt mean this in a rude way, hence that please!) :) --Girdi 16:56, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Those are the rules, unfortunately. You need support from 25 users on both CheckUser requests otherwise you'll just have to let stewards do it for you. --Deskana 09:19, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Not done Checkuser gives access to some private information, and therefore we are very cautious to whom we grand access. Therefore one of the requirements is that only "large" communities can elect checkusers. The threshold has been set on 25 pro-voters. I hope for your understanding.

Shijualex@Malayalam Wikipedia
Hello!
I'm Shiju Alex an admin in Malayalam Wikipedia. Recently I was elected as a sysop in Malayalam Wikipedia with the mission of creating Special upload pages in Malayalam Wikipedia. (As in the English Wikipedia (for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-ownwork).)
But when I started working on the project I came to know that there are some bugs in the wikimedia software because of which I will not be able to create those special upload pages. I have logged a bug for the same in Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11538). But I have not received any response for this bug from the developers.
So I do not find any meaning in continuing as sysop since I will not be able to create those special upload pages. So please remove my sysop rights. I will be continue working as a normal user in Malayalam Wikipedia. Thank you.

Wikibooks in Romanian
I request permanent sysop access on ro.wikibooks. The current administrators have been inactive for nearly one year now. I have been a major (and at times sole) contributor. We also need a new namespace: Raft (meaning bookshelf) and we need to rename the english namespace Wikibooks with the romanian Wikimanuale.

- Please gather first consensus among the community for your permanent sysopship. For new namespaces: gather local consensus, then please file the request on http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org . Same goes for the renaming process. Effeietsanders 11:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks but no thanks! I am not going to make another request, because I am only waisting my time with you. Which kind of consensus should I gather if there is no community there? They left one year ago and no one is left. Have you even read my request? And about the renaming process why is it so hard to change some english words into romanian ones? --Emily007 15:29, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

- Yes, I did read your request. But I can't grand you permanent sysopship with no community consensus. Obviously, if there is no community at all, there is no consensus possible indeed, but then there is no permanent adminship possible either. And please don't spit on me because of the hard-to-change software. It is just the way MediaWiki, the software, works, whether we like it or not. If you really want that to change, you might want to consider joining the developers team on mediawiki.org and help developing the software. You will, however, need coding skills for that. For now,

I counted about 1,500 pages on that wiki which only consist of categories or templates (and thus are essentially empty) (see new:Special:Shortpages.

- I've put deletion templates on some empty pages in ks.wikipedia, where it seems the same person is sysop, and I was not blocked for it, rather thanked (those pages probably were not made by him though).
- Please assume good faith, and talk to him about it rather than force mass deletion. All though empty articles seems useless there is no rule against it (that I know of), and hopefully he has plans about giving them (more) content. --Jorunn 13:02, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- You have strange problems... Are You active in this community? Then maybe You should rather not request pages that are not obviously vandalism for deletion here.

- PS: I checked the Russian Wiktionary because you mentioned it. They contain content (I could only find 4 or 5 speedy candidates, no more) so I would leave them alone if I were a sysop on the Russian Wiktionary. -- Prince Kassad 14:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

We could have done it ourselves, but the bureaucrat who promoted must have not read the instructions on how to do it on the talk page...

- No, I didn't do it wrong. Bots need to be approved by BRFA to get bog flagging, and in order to pass the approvals process it needs to do a trial, for which it requires admin rights. Not that it matters anyway, it's been flagged now per my requests on the Requests for Bot Flagging page. --Deskana 18:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

- The bots main aim is to delete and fix Broken redirects which doesn't really need to be visible to the community since its just general cleanup work--Cometstyles 12:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
