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 requirements 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.
  • All processed requests are automatically archived after 24 hours of no activity. Use {{PinSRP}} on a request section to prevent it from being archived, or {{ArchiveNowSRP}} to archive a request section as soon as possible.

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.

Hi, I am requesting admin access to the hif Wikipedia again (I was previously an administrator on both hif Wikipedia and hif Wiktionary), as there is an urgent need for page cleanup and template imports. Many pages are outdated or contain non-relevant names and need to be fixed. Additionally, several important templates are missing, which is causing formatting and display errors across multiple articles. -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 14:50, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 2 years to expire on 2027-08-05. 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.
I do notice that you have also placed a request for IA, which I have not granted yet as your account does not have 2FA enabled as required. EPIC (talk) 09:46, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am requesting admin access to the Awadhi Wikipedia, which currently has no active administrators. I have previously served as an administrator on both hif Wikipedia and hif Wiktionary.Many pages are outdated or contain non-relevant names and need to be corrected. Several essential templates are missing, which is causing formatting and display issues across multiple articles. Additionally, admin rights will help in stopping vandalism, removing promotional content, and protecting important pages from frequent disruptive edits.

Thank you. -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 14:56, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am requesting admin access to the Fiji Hindi Wiktionary (hif.wiktionary). I have previously served as an administrator on both hif Wikipedia and hif Wiktionary.

Currently, there is no administrator on this project. Previously, I successfully installed the HotCat gadget on hif.wiktionary, which improved usability for category management.

There are several outdated and incorrect entries that need cleanup, along with missing templates affecting formatting and usability. Admin rights would also help me deal with recurring vandalism and promotional content, and to protect important pages where necessary.

Thank you. -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 15:00, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am requesting admin access on the Hausa Wikipedia (ha.wikipedia.org). I want to help with page cleanup, template imports, and improving formatting issues. I have been active in the community and wish to support the project with regular maintenance tasks and fighting vandalism. I believe this will improve the quality and organization of content on the site.

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-11-05. 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. AramilFeraxa (talk) 06:01, 5 August 2025 (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.

Making sure I'm reading this correct? That discussion appears to have 3/0/0 in support, however one is yourself and one is someone that seems to be saying they do not understand what they are supporting. — xaosflux Talk 13:29, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't sign up in the right place, thank you, I'll fix it. The section is small, so there aren't many active users. He writes that he doesn't quite understand the admin's responsibilities and capabilities. However, everything is clearly stated in the topic. Il Nur (talk) 15:55, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This user is sufficiently trusted, and besides, such sections of Wikipedia are relatively small. Incall talk 18:08, 1 August 2025 (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.
