Requests for permissions

Archives (current)→

This page enables stewards to handle permissions requests, including the giving and taking of administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight rights, for all Wikimedia wikis which do not have a local permissions procedure. 'If your wiki has a local bureaucrat, submit your request to that user or to the relevant local request page (see the index of request pages). Requests for bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and CheckUser queries belong elsewhere.

For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the #wikimedia-stewards IRC channel (see a web-based IRC client). In emergencies only, type !steward in the channel to inform stewards that you need help.

Please only make requests here after gaining the approval of your local community.

When requesting permissions, copy and paste the following text into the correct section. Please fill in all the required fields -- language code, link to the local request, and link to your local user page. Without this information, a steward cannot process your request.

Requests

Administrator access

See administrator for information about the position. Requests for temporary permissions and removal of access belong in other sections.

Czech Wiktionary

Hi, I'd like to request permission for Czech Wiktionary since three sysops are inactive and fourth is semi-active and will become pretty inactive soon so he asked for help. I've got support from him.

• Language Code: cs
• Local Request Link: wikt:cs:Wiktionary:Správci#Danny B.
• Local User Page: wikt:cs:Uživatel:Danny B. which is forward to w:cs:Wikipedista:Danny B.

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Chuvash wikipedia

I request bureaucrat access. By the current moment: Administrator (more 1 year)

• Language Code: cv
• Local Request Link: cv:Википеди:Бюрократсем
• Local User Page: cv:Хутшăнакан:PCode

Thank you. PCode 08:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Please provide a link showing the support of your community. guillom 09:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

OK? PCode 13:22, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Since you have created this page today, you will be granted these rights in about 7 days (the time for your community to show its support). guillom 13:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

CheckUser access

To request CheckUser information, see Request for CheckUser information. This is the place to request CheckUser access. Note that temporary CheckUser access is not permitted.

Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current policy regarding bestowal of status before giving the status. Breaching these rules may be cause for removing your steward access. When you give someone CheckUser, please list them on CheckUser, ask them to subscribe to checkuser-l, and email checkuser-l-owner@wikipedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information).

Regarding wikipedia english; I am requesting CheckUser access. I am currently concentrating on clearing as many backlogs as possible, and I believe that CheckUser would be useful for me to continue this trend. CheckUser access would be strictly in line with my personal neutrality policy (link available upon request at my English user account), and the privacy policy of the Wikimedia Foundation. Experience has already been gained in this area - I am a current standby clerk for the Requests for CheckUser page at Wikipedia en.

Could you please point us to the appointment by the arbcom? Thanks. Effeietsanders 22:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Policy on en is that you must request this from the Arbitration Committee. Contact one of the members of the committee by private email or on IRC. Bastique 22:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Contact is currently being initiated - I have contacted a member of the ArbCom via email. Regards, Anthonycfc ^{[T • C]} 19:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Oversight access

Do not initiate an oversight request here. The Arbitration Committee will make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki (this process is currently for en-Wikipedia only).

Stewards: When you give someone oversight access, list them on Hiding revisions.

no current requests.

Removal of access

You may request that your own access be removed here; stewards will grant such requests immediately if you provide proof that you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki. This may be accomplished most easily by placing a note in English on your local talk page confirming your request.

To request the removal of another user's status, you must gain consensus on the local wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When there is community consensus that the user's access should be removed, a trusted person from that wiki should provide a link here to the discussion, a very brief explanation of the reason for the request, and summarize the results of discussion.

Temporary permissions for emergency or technical purposes

If you are requesting administrator status to make a translation of the wiki interface, see also the BetaWiki project, which seeks to make a neutral MediaWiki translation that will then be default for all wikis. That is more useful than only making a local translation. You can ask questions in the IRC channel or in the mailing list. See also MediaWiki localisation.

Stewards: Currently active temporary permissions are listed at /Approved temporary. When granting a request, please copy the request to the appropriate section there, and clearly state the date of removal.

Samoan Wikipedia

I request temporary sysop access on Samoan Wikipedia.

• Language Code: sm
• Local User Page: Jose77.

I have attained some Samoan translations from a native speaker and I wish to translate the interface into Samoan and also to delete the vandalised pages.

Thank you very much . --Jose77 08:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Done, granted temporary adminship for three months. MaxSem 12:20, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

User rename requests

If your project has a bureaucrat, contact that user to request a username change; do not place a request here.

no current requests.

Miscellaneous requests

Requests that don't fit in other sections belong here. Note that the following types of requests belong on separate pages: bot status, URL blacklisting and whitelisting, and requests for CheckUser queries.

no current requests.
