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.

Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests

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 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

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.

Administrator access

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.

Bokareis@gotwiki

Status:    Done

Unfortunately permanent adminship isn't possible due to the size of our Wiki, but adminship is necessary to deal with things like vandalism and cleaning up the Wikipedia. Bokareis (talk) 20:14, 19 November 2018 (UTC)reply

 On hold until 27 November 2018 to allow one full week of discussion since your announcement. Best regards, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:07, 20 November 2018 (UTC)reply
@Bokareis: Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2019-11-27. 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. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:23, 27 November 2018 (UTC)reply

amended number of supports mentioned above, it's 5 not 4.--Cohaf (talk) 01:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)reply

Status:    In progress

I request to continue my adminship with one another year, until 31 December 2019. I am yet an administrator since July 2017 and I have been re-elected (reconfirmed) since. The community reconfirmed it again this time. Ymnes (talk) 12:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)reply

Garam@ko.wiktionary

Status:    In progress

Hello. I was elected administrator in re-election (3:0:0) as per vote rule during a 2 weeks on Korean Wiktionary. Thanks. --Garam (talk) 10:48, 25 November 2018 (UTC)reply

Hello, I am inclined to grant your request but would it possible for you to tell me why did you block this ip? Mardetanha talk 07:58, 27 November 2018 (UTC)reply
@Mardetanha: There are many reasons for this block. First, the mobile IP want to cause trouble. Please see wikt:ko:분류토론:한자 부수 (wikt:ko:special:diff/3965486/3965491). As you can see, first time this IP had rude attitudes. And special:diff/3967600, special:diff/3967601 and special:diff/3967602 look like normal contribution. But please add the article titles. Then, it is slander my name "Garam" (가람). Above all things, I suspect this IP is one of some mobile IP address ranges who blocked in Korean projects (ex: #1 and w:ko:위키백과:관리자_알림판/보존문서/보존2#2017-12-03 대역 차단 알림 etc), because this IP's pattern in Korean Wiktionary is similar to the IP address ranges. So, I blocked the mobile IP. I hope that this answers your question. Thanks. --Garam (talk) 09:18, 27 November 2018 (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.
  • Since 2026, all bureaucrats are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

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.
  • Since 2026, all CheckUsers are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.

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-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 .
  • Since 2026, all oversighters are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled. Please, enable it before posting your request here.
  • When a new user is assigned to this group, please add them to this list.

!Silent was approved for another one-year term as Oversight at Portuguese Wikipedia. Thanks in advance. Érico (talk) 19:30, 23 November 2018 (UTC)reply

@Érico and !Silent: Please make sure to sign the updated confidentiality agreement (see previously send email). Trijnsteltalk 19:33, 23 November 2018 (UTC)reply
@Trijnstel: Signed. !Silent (talk) 00:10, 24 November 2018 (UTC)reply

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.

Miscellaneous requests

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.

  • SRGP — Global permissions
