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.

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 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

[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.

[edit]
Status:    Redundant

My adminiship has expired and I want to apply for a new one Yasanto Lase (talk) 14:33, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yasanto Lase: Your adminship has not expired. The sysop rights are still valid until 10:02, 13 September 2025, so there is nothing for us to do here. Please seek a renewal once expired. EPIC (talk) 14:37, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abdes101@ary.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

I'd like to request adminship in the Darija wikipedia for one year duration Abdes101 (talk) 15:37, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 3 months to expire on 2025-01-10. 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.
Given the amount of votes in the request, and that this is your first time with sysop rights on the project, I will start with three months. If all goes well, we can consider extending for a longer period of time in the future. EPIC (talk) 15:45, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ariandi Lie@su.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Not done

Hello, I'd like to apply for adminship. My adminship was expired on 5 October and I want to apply new one. Thank you. Ariandi Lie Talk with me 19:09, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I hate to be a bummer, but the discussion needs to run for at least one week before a request is posted here. You started the discussion today, meaning you should place your request on this page on October 17 at the earliest. Closing as not done/unactionable for now, please return here in a week and place your request on this page if there are no objections by then. Also courtesy pinging @Kumincir: as a local bureaucrat, in case they would be able to grant the rights this time. EPIC (talk) 21:39, 10 October 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.

Status:    In progress

I would like to request administrator and interface administrator rights for the Assamese Wikiquote project. Thank you. -chanakyakdas (talk) 02:02, 11 October 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.

Kruusamägi@ee.wikimedia

[edit]
Status:    Not done

Kruusamägi (talk) 08:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC) (executive director of Wikimedia Eesti)[reply]

@Kruusamägi: Have you asked the local bureaucrat, Adeliine, who was relatively recently active? EPIC (talk) 08:51, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She has not been responsive. This is also why there is increasing backlog on maintenance. Kruusamägi (talk) 08:59, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I will send them an email to notify them of this request, so waiting for a week. If Adeliine does not respond then I believe we would still be able to grant this request from the stewards' side since MVR does not apply being a chapter wiki, but I would at the least want to see approval from one of the board members of WMEE if so. Therefore also courtesy pinging @Castellum and Melilac: as WMEE board members. EPIC (talk) 09:02, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I receieved a response from the local bureaucrat, indicating that this will be appropriately handled locally. As such, I am closing as Not done. EPIC (talk) 20:11, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Maxim@en.wikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

Maxim has resigned from the Arbitration Committee and confirmed by email to the Committee that he intends to relinquish access to CheckUser and Oversight.

In accordance with ArbCom procedure ("At the end of their term, outgoing arbitrators will: [...] have their CheckUser and Oversight permissions removed unless the outgoing arbitrator requests to retain one or both of them"), please remove the CheckUser and Oversight permissions (and not other permissions). For the Arbitration Committee, KevinL (aka L235 · t) 14:01, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks for their service. Pinging @Krd: to remove VRT access, and also notifying list admins. EPIC (talk) 14:06, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Removed global-temporary-account-viewer as user is no longer a CU/OS on any production project. (Ping to @EPIC: - as you are very active in this area), I suppose we're going to have to manually deal with this group until phab:T376315 gets done. — xaosflux Talk 15:34, 6 October 2024 (UTC))[reply]
I had forgotten about that, thanks! EPIC (talk) 17:48, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Status:    Done

Due to our policy, please remove administrator access due to lack of log admin action for 365 days. (The policy requires both edit and log action). AramilFeraxa (Talk) 10:07, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - may I ask where the admin action requirement is mentioned? My translator only got it to the requirement being an undeleted edit in mainspace in the last 365 days, and I see the last edit they performed in mainspace was 26 June this year. EPIC (talk) 10:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC In the first frame: Wobec administratorów (A) i biurokratów (B), którzy przez 365 dni nie wykonają nieusuniętej edycji w przestrzeni głównej Wikipedii i widocznej w logach akcji związanej z posiadanymi uprawnieniami administratora, wszczynana jest opisana niżej procedura odbierania uprawnień, which means (in bold): ...do not make an undeleted edit in the Wikipedia main space and visible in the logs an action related to their administrator rights. AramilFeraxa (Talk) 10:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification, Done with thanks for their service. (I'm not counting the MediaWiki edit on 12 July as that was only a result of the user removing themselves as a mentor) EPIC (talk) 10:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
