Steward requests/Permissions
← Requests and proposals | Steward requests (Permissions) | latest archive→ |
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.
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]]").
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]
Administrator access[edit]
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-adminconnect.
- 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.

My adminship in Moroccan Arabic Wikipedia has expired. I would therefore request to extend it if possible to that I continue the administrative duties that I have. I have attached the community discussion where I have requested endorsement from active Wikipedians. -- Anass Sedrati (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

As my adminship period will end on 9-Mars 2022, and due to that I've been a Sysop for 3 consecutive periods, now I'd like to request a permanent adminship on the Egyptian Wikipedia project. The nomination was also locally announced on village pump, Thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by HitomiAkane (talk) 15:14, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

I would like to request re-adminship on Western Armenian Wikipedia. I've already previously served as admin for an annual term and would like to renew my request for adminship to be granted. The initial voting procedure can be viewed here. By becoming admin, I intend to fight vandalism, monitor verification of news and sources, and increase Wiki outreach to local communities. The intial vote was unanimous, hyperlinked above, as the most active HYW Wiki users were all in agreement for my adminship status. --Շահէն (talk) 11:37, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

- Hello @Շահէն, I don't see a fresh voting at the page you linked – I only see one from September 2021 (a request that's about half a year old). Can you please point me to a recent adminship request at hyw.wikipedia? If there was none and you wish to renew your adminship, can you start it please? Thanks, Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:36, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

I would like to request re-adminship on Western Armenian Wikipedia. I've already been an admin for an annual term and would like to renew it. I intend to continue to get involved in translation, help newbies, edit and correct articles. My mission is to preserve the Western Armenian language, history & culture and that by improving the Wikipedia platform and enhancing its outreach. The Western Armenian community collectively voted to remake me an admin.--Սեւան Դանիէլեան Մկրեան (talk) 19:27, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Interface administrator access[edit]
See Interface admin for information about this user group.
- If you need to accomplish one-time, non-recurring task, please request your task at Steward requests/Miscellaneous.
- 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.
Bureaucrat access[edit]
- 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]
- To request CheckUser information, see Steward requests/Checkuser. This is the place to request CheckUser access.
- Temporary CheckUser access is not permitted and temporary access 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. 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, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, notify listowners checkuser-l-owner
lists.wikimedia.org, and make sure they contact an op for access to #wikimedia-privacyconnect and #wikimedia-checkuserconnect.
Oversight access[edit]
- 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 .
- 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.
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:
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.
