Steward requests
(Permissions)

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 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 (see the
index of request pages
). Requests for
bot status
, URL
blacklisting
and
whitelisting
, and
CheckUser queries
belong elsewhere.
Interface-translations are done at
Betawiki
For urgent requests, such as to combat large-scale vandalism on a small wiki, contact a steward in the
#wikimedia-stewards
connect
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 on-wiki approval of your local community

Using this page
Place the following code at the bottom of the appropriate section below:
====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
|status =
|domain =
|user name =
|discussion=
}}
Thank you! ~~~~
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"). Leave it blank and list them yourself if you're requesting access for multiple bots.
'discussion': a link to the local vote or discussion about the rights change (for example, "[[ex:Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship#ExampleUser]]").
If anything is missing from your request, a steward will request more information.
Confirmation of identity
Certain permissions (notably
CheckUser
and
Oversight
) additionally require users to
confirm their identity
. Users requesting these permissions must make a request below, and must also submit the relevant identification to the
Foundation
. The request is placed on hold temporarily, until receipt has been formally confirmed by the
office
Instructions for how you can confirm your identity can be found at:
Steward handbook/email templates
For stewards:

Administrator access
See
administrator
for information about the position. Requests for
temporary permissions
and
removal of access
belong in other sections. Admins doing cross-wiki work may wish to see

Hello,
two votes are very few, and he nearly has no edits, I suggest a temporary period of three months (it is technically the same and can be prolonged).

Hi, my candidature was nominated according to
my work
in
Georgian Wikipedia
and not in wikiquote, but your suggestion is quite acceptable. In addition there are 6 votes now. Kind regards

Hello to You both, thanks for the update.
Looking at the voting shows that most of the voters have very few contributions, please note that I do not put in question Your credibility or reputation, Rastrelli F, it is just that a voting is (or should be) a quality control. On a smaller project where not many users are evaluating the candidates contributions, a temporary status can be helpful.
In the light that the only sysop is supporting Your request and also another user with lots of contributions, I would suggest to grant a temporary period of three months and if the voting does not change to contra until then the status should be made permanent.
What do You think about that? Other stewards opinions are welcomed on this also if they disagree ;)
Best regards, --

Hello Jagwar. We can not grant permanent adminship unless the community has approved this. If there aren't yet enough people to do that on the Malagasy Wiktionary, please can you apply for temporary adminship instead (see section below) and make an announcement on the Wiktionary about this (for example on a village pump or other community discussion page).

Thanks a lot, Jagwar, I temporarily created a redirect to
wikt:mg:wikibolana:Community Portal
, so it can be reached via the navigation on the left. Please note, that the word "wikibolana:" is not the current namespace-prefix for "Wiktionary:" therefore entries named "wikibolana:..." are in the main namespace. If You are interested in translating the interface and also namespace names please be welcomed to sign up at
betawiki:

Bureaucrat access
See
bureaucrat
for information about the position. In principle, requests for temporary bureaucrat access are not granted.
CheckUser access
To request CheckUser
information
, see
Meta:Requests for CheckUser information
This is the place to request CheckUser
access
. Note that temporary CheckUser access is
not permitted
and the temporary status is only used by Stewards.
Stewards: When someone asks for CheckUser status, please check the current
policy
regarding bestowal of status
before
giving the status. The current mail template to use to request identification from the new CU can be found
here
. Do not grant CheckUser access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the
Identification noticeboard
. 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
, email checkuser-l-owner
lists.wikimedia.org so that the listadmins know the person is allowed on the mailing list (the list may contain confidential information), and make sure they contact
an op
for access to
#wikimedia-checkuser
Oversight access
As with Checkuser, do not initiate a request for oversight access here
. You need to work through your local wiki. Some wikis have elections. Some wikis have their Arbitration Committee make the request once there is consensus on the local wiki. The request should show a link to the local wiki election results, or be made on behalf of an ArbCom by a member of that ArbCom, whichever is applicable.
Stewards: Do not grant Oversight access unless the user is identified to the foundation, which will be announced on the
Identification noticeboard
. When you give someone oversight access, list them on

Per Commons community vote, which as required, lasted at least 2 weeks, and as required, had at least 25 support votes and at least 80% support (in this case 33 supports, no neutral, no oppose), it is requested that Rama be made an oversighter at Commons, once Rama has identified at the
Identification_noticeboard
. (as of this writing, Rama has been told about the requirement but the noticeboard does not yet show him) Thanks! (and Happy New Year!) ++

Removal of access
If you're requesting the removal of
your own
status, make sure you're logged in to a
global account
or
place an English note on your local user talk page to prove you own both accounts (and add the diff link of your local confirmation edit to the 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.
In either case, copy and paste the following text into the correct section (see
instructions above
).
====user name@xxproject====
{{sr-request
|status =
|domain =
|user name =
|discussion=
}}

Temporary permissions or emergency or technical access
If you are requesting administrator status to translate the wiki interface, this should done at the
BetaWiki project
instead (see
mw:localisation
). You can ask questions in the
IRC channel
or on the
mailing list
If you are requesting adminship to handle one-time vandalism incidents or clearing a deletion backlog, please see
Vandalism reports
and
Multilingual speedy deletions
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
. If you want to have your Meta username changed, please go to
Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat
. If you want to have changed a username on a Wikimedia wiki without bureaucrats, please go to
Requests for username changes
(Existing requests have been moved to the appropriate page.)
Reminder
Import
rights can be granted by stewards only, not bureaucrats, so the automatic list of local bureaucrats is irrelevant for this; please show a link to a consensus if the wiki has a community.
Usurpation requests should be placed at
Steward requests/Usurpation
Username changes should be placed at

And, please note that you have to file a bug on bugzilla to get source wikis for import enabled. (I read your request as being for transwiki import rights, not for XML file import, right?) --

Either / or (XML or souce/dest (transwiki)). Transwiki import is preferred, should I file a big request now, or wait a week?

Uhm, no he has not, if he has import he can import xml files from anywhere, if he wants transwiki, he needs sysop rights and file a bugzilla request to specify the wiki where he can import from directly. Best regards, --

The XML import will work then. In this manner, I can export pages from WMF Wiki into Simple. I'll visit back on 8 Jan (unless I see or have questions). Thanks!
