This page is for requests to havestewards grant or revokeadministrator,bureaucrat,checkuser, andoversight rights onWikimedia projects whichdo not have a local permissions procedure. Minimum voting requirements are listedhere.
- Requests for bot flags are handled atSRB, and requests forglobal permissions are handled atSRGP.
- 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-stewardsconnectIRC 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 hereafter gaining the on-wiki approval of your local community.

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 forat least one week, butno 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.

Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must alsosign the confidentiality agreement with theWikimedia Foundation.

Doniyor Yóldoshev@kaawikipedia
[edit]Dear global wiki administrators, I have been a member of the wiki family for 3 years and 4 months, during which time I primarily worked for Kaawikipedia and Uzwikipedia. Until recently, I was an administrator at Kaawiki, but my term has expired. Today, I have submitted my candidacy again. Wikipedia is now growing, and I believe it needs more administrators to support new users. One of my goals as an administrator is to make extensive use of bots on Kaawiki. One of my goals as an administrator is to widely utilize the help of bots in Kawiki.Doniyor Yóldoshev (talk)05:08, 16 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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
- If you're requesting the removal ofyour 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(seeprevious discussion on 24 hour delays); the rights will not be restored by stewards once they are removed.
- To request the removal ofanother 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 aseparate list of these specific wikis.
- To request the removal ofanother user's permissions forinactivity, link to your local inactivity policy. If your site does not have inactivity policy, the global policyAdmin activity review applies.
- See theinstructions above for adding new requests. Please post new requests at the bottom of the section.

[edit]After 20 years colaborating in the project, I feel my administrative role in eswiktionary is over, and I don't identify with the current community. I prefer to relinquish these responsibilities and focus on other Wikimedia projects that resonate more with me. Thank you for considering my request.Taichi - (あ！)22:28, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
