Steward requests/Permissions

Shortcut:
RfP RFP

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.

Belorussian Normative Wikipedia

Hi! Belorussian Normative Wikipedia has recently opened and need an admin for proper work of the wiki. The local community, which had worked in the Incubator, already have made elections and proposed three members for admins: elections. They are:be:User:Yury Tarasievich, be:User:Yaroslav Zolotaryov, be:User:Mienski. We need at least one admin as soon as possible, because the Wiki is big and can not work properly without any adminship --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 12:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition to this wiki already has began vandal actions in the wiki, so we need any admin urgently. --Yaroslav Zolotaryov 12:32, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For what I can read in be:Вікіпэдыя:Суполка, elections begun today. It's common practice to allow at least 7 days for voting. --Paginazero - Ø 14:34, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All three made temporary sysops until they are (eventually) elected. If some of them doesn't get elected, the status will be removed in a week. Jon Harald Søby 14:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uyghur Wikipedia

I request sysop access for User:Barat on Uyghur Wikipedia. He is a native Uyghur and has been an active contributor on Uyghur Wikipedia.

Language Code: ug
Local Request Link: Wikipedia:Administrators - User:Barat
Local User Page: ug:User:Barat

Thankyou very much. --Jose77 22:33, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not done Don't request without following the rules. You made your request the 29 (not a week has even passed) and so far only you have supported the candidate. drini ^[es:]_[commons:] 22:43, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is because there is no Uyghur community on Uyghur Wikipedia; hence there is no one else to support him. Also, many of his friends living in China have told him that they were unable to access Uyghur Wikipedia. User:Barat is the only Uyghur contributor there. --Jose77 23:45, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the wiki is inactive, then a temporary sysophood should be granted. MOreover, he hasn't even confirmed he'd like to be a sysop, you just nominated him 3 days ago and informed him yesterday. It's the second time you nominate ombodu for uyghur wikipedia in a month, quite a lot for an inactive wiki is it?

Moreover, in the last 500 changes in the past 30 days are just 20 edits from Barat (other than you and bots). So what's the urgency? wait the full week and nominate again. But if the wiki is really that inactive, then you I suggest you to nominatie him for a temporary sysophood (btw, your's is about to expire this week). drini ^[es:]_[commons:] 00:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I will wait patiently for a week or several weeks if necessary. --Jose77 00:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bureaucrat access

See bureaucrat for information about the position.

Gujarati WIkipedia

Requesting Bureaucrat access. 'cause its a funny word to spell (seriously, to set bot flags).

I'm pretty much the only active sysop there at the moment. A few users keep contributing frequently.
Language Code: gu
Ref. Yann Forget (kinda funny putting a reference of someone whose name is forget! But thats only one of the million possible jokes you can make with it I guess :/ ). --Spundun 03:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Bureaucrat status granted to Spundun, although he missed a few million jokes about my name. ;oP Yann 08:15, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Forget thanks. :p ... Ok thats #2... I'm making steady progress. :D --Spundun 14:49, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bambara, Fulfulde and Wolof Wikipedia

I'm requesting bureaucrat status on these Wikipedias. I want to give bots bot status to make it easier to check the recent changes. I've been (the only) administrator on these Wikipedias since 2005 and there haven't been any complaints. I'm actively involved in the afrophonewikis list and there has been some (but not awesome) progress with these Wikipedias, especially the Wolof one. Guaka 14:02, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Language Code: bm, ff, wo
Local User Page: bm:User:Guaka, ff:User:Guaka, wo:User:Guaka

Please organize a vote on the wiki's mentionned, to let the community be able to approve or deny your request. Effeietsanders 14:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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).

Hello, The vote for CheckUser access on Commons seems quite successful. See commons:Commons:Administrators/Requests_and_votes/Yann_(rfcu). May I request another steward to give me CU rights? Thanks, Yann 21:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done Enjoy :) --Dbl2010 03:03, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

User:Jose77 on Uyghur (ug) Wikipedia

Discussion moved to Requests for comments/Jose77 on Uyghur Wikipedia. MaxSem 05:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I do not wish to move request back here, but now this user blocked me second time here for "hurting his feelings". This not fair, he accused me of being terrorist, erased evidence of such accusation without apology (but it still can find here), tells me my origin without knowing. I never accuse him of being terrorist, just of poorly administrator. Here I emphasise: user does not speak Uyghur according to own statement, and user was appointed administrator here without election. For this out-of-process block I request immediate desysopment.--توشقا 22:12, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, due to Jose77's misconduct in this dispute. Details on RFC. MaxSem 07:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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. Requests only need remain listed below for a few days, and may afterward be removed as long as they have been copied to the subpage.

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.
