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.

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 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.
Confirmation of signing confidentiality agreement
Certain permissions (notablyCheckUser andOversight) additionallyrequire users to sign aconfidentiality agreement. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must alsosign the confidentiality agreement with theWikimedia Foundation. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until the receipt has beenformally confirmed by the Office.
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
SeeAdministrator for information about this user group.
- MediaWiki interface translations are done attranslatewiki.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 thesection 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. SeeSteward requests/Permissions/Minimum voting requirements.

- Did you open a local discussion? If not then please do so.EPIC (talk)11:01, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for linking to it now.
On hold until 17 July 2024.EPIC (talk)16:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Granted for 2 years to expire on2026-07-17. 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.- Note that diqwiktionary is not large enough to grant permanent adminship here, but given the past tenures and amount of voters I would call this enough for another two year term, which I am granting here.EPIC (talk)10:18, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you very much! --Mirzali (talk)10:29, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bernardo Botto@pt.wikivoyage
Bernardo Botto (talk)21:21, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- You currently have 12 edits on the project, most of them were made in December last year, and none between then and June this year (when the discussion was posted). I would want to seek a second opinion from another steward before granting this. On hold until then.EPIC (talk)21:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @EPIC: I understand completely. The wiki doesn't have any active administrators, so I requested the tool to perform administrative tasks. I know the pillars of Wikivoyage and i'm ready to work, so that's why I consider myself qualified. I'm also an autoreviewer and rollbacker editor on portuguese wikipedia. If necessary, temporary access can also be assigned.Bernardo Botto (talk)21:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Administrative tasks can usually be done by a global sysop when the wiki has no administrators. It's also common to be active on a project to get an idea of what tasks need to be done before becoming an administrator. Not saying that's how it always has to be, nor am I a steward. Just figured I would throw in my two cents.Ternera (talk)15:10, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ternera: Thx for your comment. I'm always looking at the project to see the problems of it, i know the problems of the project, and there's a lot, like, A LOT. How i said, a temporal role can be assigned too.Bernardo Botto (talk)16:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately the stewards came to the conclusion not to grant due to some factors, mainly due to low experience on the project. Thank you for volunteering, and feel free to reapply once more experience on the wiki has been gained.EPIC (talk)17:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @EPIC: I talked with people who edit in wikivoyages from another languages and i see that the portuguese project really need an editor with sysop permissions. I made an star guide (like a featured article in wikipedia), showing that i know well how the project works. I ask for a review of the decision. It could be temporary too, and it could remove my tool on the first swipe, I just want to help the project.Bernardo Botto (talk)23:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The not done marking was mostly due to low experience, but I can check with the others once more.EPIC (talk)18:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thx for the response. I showed my experience making a Star Guide (pt:voy:João Pessoa), and making more editions.Bernardo Botto (talk)20:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done confirming EPIC's decision after internal discussions with other stewards. Your star guide example ofpt:voy:João Pessoa doesn't inspire much confidence given that you didn't follow the nomination process required bypt:voy:Wikivoyage:Estrela andpt:voy:Wikivoyage:Nomeações para estrelas. Please take your time to gain more experience on ptwikivoyage and perhaps re-request in a couple of months. If the project needs administrative help, you can turn toGSR orSRM in the meantime. --Johannnes89 (talk)17:55, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Johannnes89: The nomination process doesn't work anymore, so the editor can auto-nominate the article.Bernardo Botto (talk)21:51, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not what the guidelines on the two pages I mentioned say (andpt:voy:Wikivoyage:Estado de artigos also says that star guide needs a nomination and only the other statuses can be set by any author without discussion). If existing rules don't work anymore, I would expect an admin (candidate) to seek consensus to officially change them.
- Anyway, this is not about the star guide: If the local community voted for you getting (temporary) adminship or if you had admin experience on pt sister projects, we could probably grant the permissions despite your low experience on ptwikivoyage. But given that both criteria are not met, the current experience level is too low for us to grant the permissions based on a request for adminship without participation.Johannnes89 (talk)05:59, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Johannnes89: The problem is: I'm the only active user of the project, so, it's impossible to make a star guide or change a politice with consense.Bernardo Botto (talk)14:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Even though many projects have different policies, one thing most of them have in common is that policies can be changed by starting a discussion, e.g. on a project's central discussion page likept:voy:Wikivoyage:Bar dos viajantes or the policy's talk page.
- If after reasonable time no-one has objected to a proposed rule change, it can be changed if no-one else is around to support the proposal (just like how it is possible to start a request for adminship, even if there are no other community members).Johannnes89 (talk)20:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wüstenspringmaus@la.wikiquote
Per policy for three months, I think. Thanks,Wüstenspringmaustalk09:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Two questions; one, do you understand the language of the project, and two, what will you need adminship for, also considering most of your edits were made recently? Thanks,EPIC (talk)09:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- HiEPIC, thank you for your questions. 1) Yes, I understand Latin (I forgot to add a babel to my userpage) and 2) With admin rights I mainly would translate/change some pages in MediaWiki-namespaces to Latin, for example[1] or[2], which I've also linked there. I would also delete some unuseful redirects. And yes, I haven't been active in the project that long, but I think I can still help as an administrator there. Regards,Wüstenspringmaustalk09:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your explanation, I will check with some others and come back in a while.EPIC (talk)11:57, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I've now been supported by a trusted user of the community now, see[3].Wüstenspringmaustalk09:33, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, enough for me. Granted for 3 months to expire on2024-10-13. 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.
- (I didn't get much response when bringing it up with the others but there were no explicit objections either so I think we are fine here, since there is also a supporter now)EPIC (talk)10:17, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Zulf@suwiki
hello, after I waited seven days for the administrator's rights request on Suwiki but no one visited it. I have previously made a previous requesthere but it was not granted for the reason that it is unfortunately too old in our standards at this point . the same as today's requests, as before, they are neglected and untouched, I will work there, such as editing mediawiki or importing and so on, which prompted me to ask for administrator rights because, for example, I want to movehere tohere but restricted. I hope my request can be understood and granted. Thanks🍃Zulf🍃talk01:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The local bureaucrat has edited the wiki since I last contacted them, therefore I will email them again and come back here in a week if there has been no response by then.EPIC (talk)01:05, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I have also contacted the bureaucratkumincir but did not respond when he was active[4]
🍃Zulf🍃talk01:10, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]- If a project has local bureaucrats, we usually defer to them for granting permissions. If local crats are inactive and/or don't react to talk page messages and mails for a couple of weeks, stewards can grant permissions instead (e.g. recently[5]). Given that you've done <250 suwiki edits before requesting adminship I'm not convinced you've got the necessary experience on that project.
- Therefore I would personally ask you to wait and get a couple of months more experience on suwiki, before I would consider granting admin permissions on a project with a bureaucrat. Of course Kumincir might choose to handle this differently if they do react to your message, but I tend to decline this from a steward's perspective.Johannnes89 (talk)18:18, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Johannnes89 Thank you for the explanation and opinion. but I defended it by saying that I have enough experience at IDwiki, because Suwiki is part of Wikimedia Indonesia so I think I am qualified enough to manage Suwiki. because Sundanese is complicated.🍃Zulf🍃talk00:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
