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-stewards^connect 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.

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.

If you are requesting adminship to handle one time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see Steward requests/Miscellaneous.

MediaWiki interface translations are done at translatewiki.net. Please do not request administrator access solely for that purpose; your request will be declined.

Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see IRC/wikimedia-admin for information about joining #wikimedia-admin^connect.

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.

KSFT@jbo.wikipedia

Status: Locally handled

Wiki: jbo.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
User: KSFT (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
Discussion: jbo:Wikipedia:admine#KSFT

I'm not sure what to put here. Both of the people who replied to my request supported it. Let me know if I'm leaving something out. KSFT (talk) 22:13, 1 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please contact the local bureaucrat, jbo:User:PierreAbbat, first to see if he is going to address your request. If it turns out he is inactive and doesn't respond to queries, stewards can step in. --MF-W 02:46, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@MF-Warburg: I attempted to contact him about a week ago, but it seems like he's inactive. KSFT (talk) 03:04, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have pinged the 'crat at enWP. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:12, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He responded and has made me an admin, so I guess this can be closed, although he's still inactive on jbowikipedia. KSFT (talk) 12:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brilliant. It might be a good idea to indicate locally that the request is closed as well. --MF-W 22:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not much to say. I have been granted temporary adminship several times in the past. I suppose it'll remain as such again. Malafaya (talk) 16:40, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In progress… open through 2015-10-4. -- Avi (talk) 17:52, 2 October 2015 (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.

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation. An email template is available for requesting new users to identify.

When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list. Subscription to checkuser-l will be handled by list owners. Make sure new users contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacy^connect and #wikimedia-checkuser^connect.

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-stewards^connect 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 .

Stewards: Before granting this permission to a user, please check the current policy and make sure that the user has signed the confidentiality agreement with the Wikimedia Foundation.

When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

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.

HEADNOTE. The removal of unused global renamer rights is on hold while a logging issue is being resolved. — billinghurst sDrewth 02:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
