Administrator access

Manik Soren@sat.wikipedia.org

Recently Santali Wikipedia has been created. I was the test admin on incubator. Now an admin is needed in the new Santali Wikipedia for fixing basic things. Therefore I am requesting to grant myself as a temporary admin for this newly made wikipedia. --Manik Soren (talk) 14:59, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 1 month to expire on 2018-09-08. 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. --MF-W 16:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tuyenduong97@vi.wikivoyage.org

Currently, Vietnamese wikivoyage hasn't administrator, I want to be granted this right. Tuyenduong97 (talk) 23:48, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vietnamese wikivoyage is being vandalized [1], [2], but we don't have the authority to delete or at least hide those fault articles. A discussion is unlikely because only a few members often online. Please reply soon. Thanks! Tuyenduong97 (talk) 09:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Link to a local election page that has been open for at least seven days. -- Tegel _(Talk) 09:17, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tuyenduong97: please open a local discussion page to grant you sysop flag in vi.wikivoyage, even there's no contributes in the local discussion we'll grant you sysop flag after 7 days from the beginning of the local discussion --Alaa :)..! 09:18, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you! Tuyenduong97 (talk) 09:33, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 14 August --Alaa :)..! 10:01, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Sroy@ts.wikipedia

Please grant me the admin rights on the Xitsonga wiki. Discussion on the local wiki was posted on 2nd August, still no objection. Although knowing that ts_wiki is very small and thus admin rights are temporary but I want it for the longest duration possible. My two weeks experience clearly states that the community is very inactive and thus the RfA is just documentation. The only administrator ts:User:Thuvack has not edited since last week. So actually I feel, there's no one to approve me locally! Dr. Sroy (talk) 21:03, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 On hold until 9 August --Alaa :)..! 09:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@علاء: Today is 9th of August, and I'm having no information about this. Please let me know if I should get the flag... Dr. Sroy (talk) 16:33, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 3 months to expire on 2018-11-09. -- --Alaa :)..! 17:13, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mahir256@bn.wikisource

This is a request to renew my administrator privileges on the Bengali Wikisource as they have just expired today. Mahir256 (talk) 21:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GZWDer: he should open a local discussion page to grant the sysop flag , even there's no contributes in the local discussion we'll grant him sysop flag after 7 days from the beginning of the local discussion! --Alaa :)..! 08:32, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for 14 August (and 1st temp adminship is not 1 year). Stryn (talk) 16:20, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Icem4k@nywikipedia

I would like to request to be an admin at the Chi-Chewa Wikipedia to fix basic things, translate the main page of the site and also import stuff. I cannot provide a local discussion because there's hardly anyone active there. Chabota (talk) 20:39, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Still you should put a notice on a village pump or other appropriate forum and wait for one week. Ruslik (talk) 20:45, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ruslik Thank you will do so. Chabota (talk) 20:56, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Huỳnh Nhân-thập@viwikibooks

Huỳnh Nhân-thập ran for administrator a year ago but their candidacy went mostly unnoticed and didn't garner enough support. Within the last couple months, now that the requests for permissions page is linked more prominently, the discussion has received more attention. There seems to be a consensus that they should have administrator rights, despite the extraordinary length of this poll (by Vietnamese wiki standards, at least). – Minh Nguyễn ^💬 22:14, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Does he still want the permission? Sometimes they don't know they are getting the permission when the request is rescued from the realm of the forgotten. — regards, Revi 13:34, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he does. He has confirmed his election few day ago. --ThiênĐế98 (talk) 15:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Granted for 1 year to expire on 2019-08-13. — regards, Revi 17:31, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Nico@ro.wikipedia.org

His candidacy ran for 7 days, as requested, and has not encountered any opposition. I believe it can now be closed.--Strainu (talk) 13:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Wiki looks big enough for perma-sysop. — regards, Revi 13:38, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interface administrator access

Bureaucrat access

Itsmine@zh-classical.wikipedia

Per community discussion WAN233 (talk) 09:49, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that the community is large enough to have bureaucrats. Ruslik (talk) 20:39, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

lzh:維基大典:會館 has too many backlog complex discussions that need to be handled properly.They are all the best administrator at zh-classical wikipedia.Interface-admin needs to be elected.There will be many people in the election.Local bureaucrats can make community work efficiently--WAN233 (talk) 14:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, a community with only 4 sysops doesn't need bureaucrats. --MF-W 15:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of access

MIKHEIL@ka.wikipedia

According to local policy If an administrator within 3 months doesn't make 500 edits and 50 sysop actions, sysop rights will be removed without voting. In several three-month periods he has not made the required 500 edit (January-March, February-April, March-May, April-June, also 17 April to 17 July). There is also consensus in KaWiki, please have a look at the last activities in this discussion. Deu. 06:26, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

By decision of the majority of Georgian Wikipedians, MIKHEIL remains the administrator of the Georgian Wikipedia. Please refuse and close this request. Thanks --Mehman 97 20:25, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Piwaiwaka@mi.wikipedia

User Piwaiwaka at mi (Māori Wikipedia) Re the comment on my talk page there, I request removal of my administrator rights for reason of inactivity, which I don’t see changing and I believe that the Wikipedia is served better when administrators are members of the currently active community. Thank you Piwaiwaka (talk) 06:13, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note to stewards: this needs to be noted at Admin activity review/2017/Data when this is done. --Rschen7754 06:28, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Piwaiwaka, thanks for your service as an admin. I removed your rights. --MF-W 15:36, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

vlsergey@ru.wikipedia

Local bureaucrats refused to remove flag from my account at ruwiki. Please, just do it. Vlsergey (talk) 06:25, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please hold this request on 3 days, this a emotions. Thanks. // Просьба отложить решение на 3 дня, это на эмоциях на фоне конфликта в рувики. Спасибо. [3] -- dima_st_bk 06:38, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Being a member of Arbitration Committee (ru:Википедия:Арбитражный комитет), I would like to ask for putting this particular request on hold, as well as any similar requests coming from ruwiki within next a couple of weeks. The thing is there is an active conflict between some sysops, engineers and bureaucrats in ruwiki, which is related to the new technical flag (interface-admin) to be given to a couple of non-technical sysops, and which results into emotional reactions. A couple of active editors already requested to remove their flags in ruwiki, and local bureaucrats indeed refused to do that. Vlsergey is only one of them, and the only one who decided to get in touch with Stewards. But just so you know the order of magnitude, 5 out of 10 existing engineers in ruwiki requested the flags to be removed, so you can only imagine what would happen to the technical side of ruwiki if all of these requests were executed. I believe we will address the issues with the interface-admin flag within next 2 weeks, have the community to approve the related rules and policies, and after that engineers and sysops will be able to make well thought-out decisions. --Good Will Hunting (talk) 06:44, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

6 of 10, and 2 more on hold. --Serhio Magpie (talk) 06:49, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done there's 5 bureaucrats, so it should be handled locally --Alaa :)..! 07:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Additional explanation: Stewards do not perform actions on wikis with ability to self-manage, unless there is emergency ("crat says no" is not an emergency) or all the crats are gone for a long time (at least 6 months - 1 year). Not the case here. — regards, Revi 10:59, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@-revi and علاء: The following is not meant to suggest that you act contrary to an explicit request from ruwiki's ArbCom at all. But if @Good Will Hunting had not appeared, I do not see where policy would allow anybody to force a user to hold rights that s/he does not want to keep.

We have a 24-hour hold rule here for resignations of rights, and for good reason. But if someone wishes to resign rights on a self-managing wiki, and bureaucrats fail to act within (3 days?)(7 days?)(surely something longer than 24 hours), then in my opinion stewards actually should act. This is not like most other situations where we normally don't want stewards to act when 'crats can. This is a case of a user not being permitted to voluntarily give up rights. And as long as we're satisfied there has been a cooling off period, we should facilitate that. StevenJ81 (talk) 21:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Policy(+"If there are any doubts as to whether or not an action should be performed, stewards should not act unless it is an emergency or there are no active local users to do it.") is that we do not intervene on the projects with active crats, so it's unactionable. — regards, Revi 01:00, 14 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Gopala Krishna A@knwiki

Dear Stewards, I will be conducting workshops in Kannada Wikipedia frequently. Since participants face difficulties in the workshop to create an account I would like to request for account creator right on [kn.wikipedia.org].
