Steward requests/Permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
< Steward requests
(Redirected from Srp)
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.

Cross-wiki requests
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.

Status:    Done

Thanks.--Filipinayzd (talk) 10:30, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 6 months to expire on 2025-09-06. 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) 11:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Lukjsly@madwiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

I would like to re-new my adminship on madwikipedia for a year. Thank you. Lukjsly (talk) 06:29, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2026-03-08. 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. —MdsShakil (talk) 14:23, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

99of9@wikifunctions

[edit]
Status:    Done

Please extend administrator rights per successfull local election. Considering the amount of participation, you may want to consider permanent rights this time. Ameisenigel (talk) 05:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done - Granted permanently considering previous tenures and that WF is likely large enough for permanent administrators at the moment. EPIC (talk) 08:09, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

MustafaCavlak@tr.wiktionary

[edit]
Status:    Done

I would like to access administrator rights after a successful local election. MustafaCavlak (talk) 12:15, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted permanently. ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 20:46, 9 March 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.

Bennylin@idwiki

[edit]
Status:    Done

2FA (re)enabled. Please re-enabled my idwiki, jvwiki, and my jvwikisource request per request. Thanks. ✒ Bennylin 07:05, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Restored your IA flags on idwiki and jvwiki, and granted on jvwikisource with the same expiration as your sysop flag. EPIC (talk) 07:12, 7 March 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.

0xDeadbeef@en.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

The Arbitration Committee has appointed 0xDeadbeef as a CheckUser. Please add them to the user group.

On behalf of the Committee, Sdrqaz (talk) 02:39, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done Welcome to the team! Contacting list admins for the rest as well. EPIC (talk) 07:07, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Johannes89@meta

[edit]
Status:    Done

With unanimous support and minimum number of votes surpassing the requirements in WM:CU, Johannes89 has been elected as a Meta CheckUser. M/ (talk) 07:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done and as a steward, there should be no further accesses to handle here. EPIC (talk) 07:33, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Moneytrees@en.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

The Arbitration Committee has appointed Moneytrees as an Oversighter. Please add him to the user group.

On behalf of the Committee, Sdrqaz (talk) 04:13, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Pinging @Krd: for VRT access. —MdsShakil (talk) 06:54, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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.

春卷柯南@zh.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Not done

I am here to submit my resignation as a Chinese Wikipedia administrator in order toexamine the community members' trust on me via another RfA. Over the past few years, as the only incumbent sysop who has been disciplined, I believe I no longer meet the community's expectations for administrators in terms of character, activity, and competence. Most of my recent activities can be done without administrator privileges. Rather than waiting to be removed, I have chosen to step down voluntarily. After resigning, I will continue working on the Chinese version of The Wikipedia Adventure as an interface administrator. Depending on my mood and the community's trust in me, I may choose to run for adminship again in the future or gradually withdraw from the community due to exhaustion. This decision is final, and I ask that no one celebrate or provoke me after my departure.--Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:02, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold for 1 day, standard for resignation of advanced permissions. EPIC (talk) 23:05, 27 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree with your decision, but I respect it. Note that Bagida520 (the original person who had made that report) has already been indeffed for incivility.
Thank you for what you have contributed to the community. zhwiki will miss your service as an excellent administrator. 0xDeadbeef (talk) 08:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@春卷柯南: I do not think you should resign over these kinds of small problem. Please reconsider! —— Eric Liu（Talk） 21:19, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the time is up. I'm not sure if 0xDeadbeef's objection was solely based on the fact that another user—who isn’t on good terms with me—has been indeffed. In my resignation notice at zhwiki I said I won't reconsider, but I also implicitly said that if the UCoC is not fully operational or is dysfunctional, either globally or specifically on zh.wiki (which I also cited in my resignation notice), my resignation may ran into problems. To put it in a Chinese proverb: "虎落平陽被犬欺".
Moreover, many users who previously had communication issues with the community—especially those who caused me distress—have since been banned by the local community. This has given me the impression that the community’s ability to handle user behavior issues has significantly improved compared to 2021.--Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:14, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The "on hold" time isn't restrictive as long as the removal hasn't been carried, in my view.
Do you still want your permissions removed or you want to withdraw the request and think about it more? KonstantinaG07 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I would try to have some more talks with them; for now, I’d like to continue putting my request on hold. Spring Roll Conan ( Teahouse · Contributions ) 23:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There's now a local discuusion, so I do think the honourable friend from zhwiki should withdraw their request at this point. —— Eric Liu（Talk） 06:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I oppose. The waiting period of one day has already ended. Please respect this person's decision and immediately revoke their admin privileges. If every time a group of users comes out to plead for them, will the privileges never be revoked, even after ten years?The admin decided to resign on their own. Why is a local discussion necessary?Does he need unanimous approval from the community to resign?
反對，一天的等待時間已經結束了，請尊重此人的決定馬上撤銷此人的管理員權限，如果每一次都有一班用戶跑出來挽留他的話 是不是十年都不會被取消權限？管理員自行決定請辭 為什麼要進行本地討論？是需要社群投票一致同意他才能辭職嗎 119.234.4.223 14:05, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to mark this as Not done at this time. It has now been a week and the user has stated that they would like some more time to consider this, and until they make any final decision, I find it best to simply close this request and let the user place a new section here in the future if they do ultimately decide to resign. EPIC (talk) 14:17, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple removal@sr.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Not done
I don't see any local consensus for removals in the linked discussion? Even if it does exist, the de-sysop process at srwiki also seems to be listed at sr:Википедија:Захтеви за администрирање#Захтеви за уклањање овлашћења which doesn't seem to have been followed here. EPIC (talk) 08:12, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Request here, monitoring in category Вишеструко уклањање 2, attached the link in sr:Википедија:Захтеви за администрирање#Захтеви за уклањање овлашћења. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 09:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ђидо has deleted the link on the page sr:Википедија:Захтеви за администрирање#Захтеви за уклањање овлашћења. I'm not interested in reverting this change because it will be undone. I've done everything necessary. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 10:22, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ранко Николић deleted the request to remove admin rights and did not allow the community to express their views and votes. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
dungodung has permanently blocked the account of this user on the Serbian-language Wikipedia, who publicly declares herself as a non-binary person, while the community is expressing its opinion on the issue of removing administrative rights from this admin. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is a joint action by several administrators based on the fact that editors are not allowed to express their views, thoughts and voices. This editor experienced multiple humiliations, belittling, humiliation and discriminatory treatment from administrators during a discussion initiated by Ranko Nikolić, and was ultimately humiliated by having her account permanently blocked on the grounds that she was a troll, and she was only expressing her opinion. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, user Filipović Z., 1 you've been submitting many unfounded and premature requests, both globally (on Meta-Wiki/SRP) and locally (on sr.wiki), for removal of Serbian administrators, bureaucrats, and patrollers since *16:08, 30 October 2021*, 2 but did you really learn nothing from all of them yet? Also, is this multiple-removal request your way of thanking me/us for removing/hiding various personal attacks/harassment and doxxing (PII), committed by the Serbian LTA duo Velimir/Vladimir, and directed at you (and at us, too), as well as blocking them and protecting those currently critical pages...? 3 4 5 6 نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 12:41, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
User Filipović Zoran is permanent wiki vacation. User Зорана Филиповић additional account of this main account and I publicly declared myself as a non-binary person. If you are interested in talking Filipović Zoran talk to him but he's on permanent wiki vacation so he doesn't answer. I am a brand new account, you are referring to the wrong account. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 22:59, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done the request didn't properly follow local procedures and apparently this request is part of a local conflict, there's no local consensus to remove the permissions. --Johannnes89 (talk) 13:16, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The request properly followed local procedures that the aforementioned administrators overturned, which is contrary to the Guidelines. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 23:03, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This is not a local conflict, this is an indication of the ongoing irregularities of a group of administrators who have assumed more authority and whose actions, which in many respects are treated as vandalism, are leading to an accelerated decline that results in the abandonment of further contributions by members of the community of very active editors who make 100 or more changes per month. At this point I can only name 4 such editors who don't have privileges. The conclusion is simple: the Serbian-language Wikipedia does not have a community of editors, it has a community of administrators who have taken over all aspects of the functioning of this wiki. This is not a local conflict, this is an indication of this type of irregularity, which must be prevented. Зорана Филиповић (talk) 23:21, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If there are systemic issues with a project, U4C cases or Requests for comment might be what you are looking for. Johannnes89 (talk) 00:13, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do not feed the troll. Ty. — Sadko (words are wind) 01:25, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Svartava@metawiki

[edit]
Status:    In progress

I would like to be removed from temporary account IP viewer user group on Meta as they are redundant to sysop now. Thanks. Svārtava (tɕ) 03:07, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Svartava As an automatically given userright, you need this since if you were to be desysopped for whatever reason, you can continue viewing temp IP addresses. Leaderboard (talk) 05:14, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I would just prefer to have this removed if this request is permissible. In the case of desysopping it could be reconsidered at that moment if it is needed. Seeing also that almost all sysops don't have this right. Svārtava (tɕ) 06:13, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Svartava The reason "almost all sysops don't have this right" is because they become sysop before the right was introduced. If/when they get desysopped, the temp account IP viewer will automatically be added if applicable. It's just like how extendedconfirmed works on en.wikipedia (and other rights that are automatically given in a similar manner). Leaderboard (talk) 06:48, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is no harm in keeping this right.--Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 07:15, 9 March 2025 (UTC) [reply]
I don't think this needs to be removed, but if Svartava wants it removed I'm not going to object to it either. Just my comment here, I'll leave it to another steward to decide. EPIC (talk) 07:41, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
