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.

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 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     =
  |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.

Mazbel@glwikibooks

Status:    On hold

Mazbel (Talk) 18:03, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I happened to notice that you were desysopped for cause on another wiki some years ago [1]. Although I'm inclined to grant this since it was quite some time ago, I'm going to place this  On hold pending discussion. EPIC (talk) 18:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC: Yes, old story, time of immaturity. I believe that after 10 years of what I have done, the lesson has been learned as I have gained more experience in Wiki projects. If you consider it appropriate, I authorize you to perform CU revision if pertinent. --Mazbel (Talk) 19:15, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Allanur77@tkwikipedia

[edit]
Status:    Done

Allanur77 (talk) 09:13, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Granted for 1 year to expire on 2025-08-12. 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. EPIC (talk) 09:18, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Tahnks! Allanur77 (talk) 08:55, 13 August 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.

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.

Over the past few years, I have not been active in the Wikimedia movement due to many other commitments. Having those rights may become a liability to me and the community if my account is compromised, especially for id.wikipedia where I have interface-admin rights. Therefore, I'd like those rights removed from those wikis (sysop on id.wikibooks, sysop on id.wikiquote, sysop on id.wiktionary, sysop and interface-admin on id.wikipedia). Thanks Kenrick95 (talk) 03:27, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done with thanks to Vito for his long service. Emailing CU list admins to remove complimentary accesses. EPIC (talk) 15:48, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(conflicted)Pls put "On hold", the request isn't neither from ad admin or a burocrat. It seems that Vituzzu has used his rights. Just a moment, to rpvide logs. --M/ (talk) 15:50, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC, Pls see: here. --M/ (talk) 15:53, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Since the removal was disputed, I have restored the rights for now and placed the request on hold until this has been clarified. Sorry for the inconvenience - I was not aware that an admin has to make the request. EPIC (talk) 15:55, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Usually it is not necessary, any trusted user can make a removal request here, provided that stated conditions are true. You can see yourself that this is a logged admin action and therefore the flag cannot be removed per policy but only upon a community non-confidence vote or further inactivity. Thank you. M/ (talk) 15:59, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks; I checked the log but somehow I had misread it as 8 February, not 8 August. Maybe I'm too tired. Anyways, Not done then - appears the inactivity policy is met for now. EPIC (talk) 16:16, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC @M7 Sorry for the inconvenience. I had read the "user contributions", and they said last contribution was around 9 feb. I didnt read the "registri" page. Sorry again! Ashoppio (talk) 16:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wiki: sr.wikipedia.org (list 'crats • no standard bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
  • User: Dungodung (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
  • Discussion: Because the FelixBot controlled by Filip Maljković is engaged in the mass removal of the Short description template from the content of the article, and the clear task for which this bot was assigned the flag does not include the deletion of the template from the content of the article, noting that any mass removal of content is a form of vandalism. The bot was hired after a vote was taken on a proposal to delete the Short Description template that had no community participation because a Notice on the main page was not set. Request here.

  • The de-sysop vote just started, but it needs to run for at least one week (or longer in case there is a local policy on de-adminship votes mandating a longer vote). Please wait until they have ended, and feel free to re-report should the discussions be successful. So for now I am closing this as Not done. EPIC (talk) 02:36, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian Wikipedia is known for pushing right-wing politics. You can see this article in the newspapper addressing that issue. Many administrators on that project, including Ranko, reject the fact that Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia. They act as if Wikipedia is a government-run project. Therefore, they can't help but advocate for values that are in contrast to the principles of Wikipedia. What's even interesting, many of them have been blocked on English Wikipedia for causing trouble there. So essentially you can tell that Serbian Wikipedia is run by outlaws from English Wikipedia. They barricaded themselves on Serbian Wikipedia and turn the project into a little fortress. If you want this project to live on, you must at least relieve these administrators off their precious rights, or otherwise you risk the project turning into an impregnable fortress of nationalism.--Lookeetch (talk) 10:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, unfortunately, unless the community has explicitly voted to remove the rights, in emergencies, or in case of resignation, we cannot strip users of their permissions. Should this de-sysop vote be successful, we could remove the rights, but until then there is no action that can be taken by us. EPIC (talk) 10:42, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you just let a bunch of renegades take over the project. You could really pay attention to what is going on there. It's in the interest of the project. There will be many more cases of people seeking justice here. Mark my words.--Lookeetch (talk) 11:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Stewards' role is to enact consensus, not serve as arbitrators for the global Wikimedia community. For cases where local procedures fail, the global RfC process can be used to collect input from the cross-wiki community or propose global bans (such as in the case of Croatian Wikipedia). ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 11:56, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, local procedures are failing. A few administrators have usurped the projects for their own needs. As for other users who are not involved in the administration, they are constantly terorized by them. As is the case with Zoran Filipović.--Lookeetch (talk) 12:10, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again, this is not the venue for this kind of allegations. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:38, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where is it, then? Sooner or later someone will have to put the maddness of those administrations to an end. They are a real manace to the project. Once outlaws, always outlaws.--Lookeetch (talk) 13:06, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the same reason as above I also have to mark this as Not done. Outside of community consensus, resignation or emergencies, we cannot be removing users from their advanced permissions. So, you will need to open a local vote of confidence at srwiki. EPIC (talk) 13:01, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello steward EPIC, that's the LTA Velimir Ivanovic/Kolega2357. Feel free to consult this section as to why he's mad at me since yesterday. :-) نوفاك اتشمان (talk) 13:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the info. OK, Not done in either case. EPIC (talk) 13:19, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@EPIC As checkuser on Serbian Wikipedia, I would like to, please, request for all the requests made by Mr. Zoran Filipović to be disregarded. This user has had numerour issues with bunch of different users (including myself at certain points of time) and every time if it does not go his way, he goes ballistic and starts requesting removal of access to specific admins or users wherever he can. As a source of proof, take a look at his requests for Acaalexaca and Zoranzoki21.
Filip (@Dungodung) has been at Serbian Wikipedia and nobody has ever had issues with him and the only reason why Mr. Filipovic has had issue with him is because he is, very clearly, obsessed with statistics and numbers to the point where he will do whatever it takes to "get to the top".
If you could, please, disregard his requests, that will be greatly appreciated. Боки ✉ 18:26, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The requests are declined, so yes, as long as no consensus exists, the requests will be disregarded. EPIC (talk) 19:04, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
