For adminship requests on this wiki see Requests for adminship.
For an archive of granted/denied requests on this page, see Requests for permissions/Archive1.

This is a central page to request permissions for sysop status, bureaucrat status or bot status on one of the Wikimedia projects, where no local means exist to do so yet.

If your wiki has a request for adminship page and a bureaucrat (a bureaucrat is able to make people sysop on the local wiki), please use your local page. If not, use this page.

For urgent access (to combat ongoing large-scale vandalism), you may ask on the IRC channels #mediawiki or #wikipedia on irc.freenode.net (users angela, anthere or engels).

Techniques to give status are described on m:stewards.

How to request status

When you make your request to be sysop, please follow the following steps

Step 1 : Have a valid local admin page.

if an admin page does not exist on your project, please create this page. Add on this page:
- Basic explanations of what a sysop is and what a sysop can do
- Add a list of admins and bureaucrats on your wiki,
- Add your name among those requesting sysophood on the admin page
- then link the local admin page to this page (Requests for permissions)
- and the conditions needed to become a sysop and the discussions (approval or disapproval) about a new candidate (larger wikis only)

Step 2 : mention your language code, and your project

Step 3 : give your user name on the project.

These three steps are mandatory. No request will be fullfilled if this is not provided.

The stewards will probably add a message on your admin page to mention you were named sysop without vote. If you wish that this message is posted in local language, please translate it. Thanks for the stewards

Current requests for permissions

Please specify whether you are asking for adminship on Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikiquote, or Wikibooks. Please note that all adminships are subject to approval by the community. If you are granted adminship and a complaint is later filed against you, this may be revoked immediately pending a vote (like en:WP:RFA) to ensure the community on your wiki supports your request.

To repair Ankowes's actions (see below), I wish to be made temporarily a sysop on br: My account there is br:User:R. R 17:13, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Looxix repaired everything and told me he'd watch what happens on br:. Therefore, I cancel my request. R 22:50, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Removal of access

Self-deadminship, or removal of bot flags from your bot can be requested here, and will be granted immediately. You may be asked to prove you are the same user on meta as on your local wiki first. To request the removal of sysop access from another user, please gain consensus on this on your own wiki first. All discussion must be kept on your local wiki. When it is finished and there is a community consensus to desysop a user, a trusted person from that wiki should just provide a link here to the discussion and a very brief explanation of what the results of that were.

I request an emergency un-sysopping of br:User:Ankowes, who's gone on a deleting rampage with insulting comments. See br:Wikipedia:Deletion log. R 16:56, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Done and gone to see what happened. -- Looxix 21:35, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I request my un-sysoping on bg.wiktionary, bg.wikiquote and bg.wikibooks (everywhere: user:5ko). The projects are getting bigger, there is much more to do on Wikipedia than before and I also need to take a short break and to lower my addiction. I wish to keep my adminship on bg.wikipedia. --5ko 07:59, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Requests for Bot status

To register a bot, please mention its name and the local wiki on which it will work here.

Warning : for some big wikipedias, such as en:, you will need to specifically request an authorization over there. See en:Wikipedia talk:Bots for approval by a sysop and then ask for the bot flag here.

Bot policies: de en

Note to stewards: Bot policy on Wiktionary (in particular en.wiktionary) is under discussion so bots should not be made without approval of the appropriate wiki. See Beer parlour.

I request bot status for ConBot in de wiki. ConBot will first due interwikiwork, later he should analyze Content for spelling mistakes by the idea of the operator from the BWBot. For translation please give me a hint on my discussion page. Greetings, Conny 09:17, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC).
- I see no discussion of this, and no edits by the bot. I would prefer that you either show me an announcement of intention to have it registered as a bot on de: (without too much objection), or that you start doing some edits with it, so that I can take non-objection to those edits as evidence that your bot is wanted on de:. - Andre Engels 11:08, 31 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ok, thank you, Conny 17:11, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC).

Good morning Andre,
I did like you said some changes. I thought that work could start only with bot status. I talked in past before starting over in chat to some Wikipedians and wrote abouth my plans on the BotPage too. Thanks and waitn for instructions, Conny 05:13, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC).

Linefeedproblems will be fixed soon, means that interwiki.py should not make a change, when no other changes needed beside the free line for the interwikilinks, Greetings Conny 18:47, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC).

I hereby humbly request bot status for HippieBot on the English Wiktionary. I am one of the ones holding the discussion on the Beer parlour and on HippieBot's pages. I am happy to await the outcome of those discussions before being granted bot status but thought I'd like to make my request official now that I have discovered the process. — Hippietrail 13:49, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Is there any consensus on Wiktionary about this yet? Angela 03:16, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Current temporary sysops for emergency or technical purposes

GerardM@cswiktionary to clear some things up with the permission of the two existing admins. Angela 19:03, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Yann on http://sa.wikipedia.org to do a bit of cleaning there. Angela 21:44, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)
myself on brwiki to see what have been deleted. -- Looxix 21:28, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
