Steward requests/header: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 17:58, 21 February 2025

This page lists request pages for tasks that require Stewards', or, in a limited number of circumstances, Global Administrators' intervention. If in doubt, please try the community portal (or if local to meta, administrators' noticeboard) first, and you will be directed here if the matter requires a Steward.

Please choose the most appropriate page for your request from the list below. If nothing seems to fit, you can file under Miscellaneous.

+This page can be used to request that a Steward conduct a [[CheckUser]] investigation into sockpuppetry or abuse of multiple accounts.
 Please compile and present any evidence that would help with this and ensure you are reporting abusive behavior: CheckUser is a sensitive tool and we do not use it lightly. Include as many references as possible such as overlaps in editing styles, grammar, edit summaries, or even SocialProfile data and any other tells that make it clear there is an issue to be looked into further for confirmation. Failure to do this may result in delays or a decline.

-This page can be used to request [[Disabling an account#Vanishes|Account Vanishes]], [[global locks]] (including self-locks), [[Global blocks|global IP blocks]], or for either of these to be removed. If reporting vandalism-only accounts, make sure they fit the global standard definition for vandalism-only accounts: there must be no or almost no constructive editing behavior, and the disruptive behavior should be occurring on multiple wikis.

-Please note that accounts on Miraheze cannot be fully deleted! The closest to this is to submit a GDPR request to [[Trust and Safety]]. This will lock the account, strip all attached personal data, and anonymize the username. This will not remove edit history.

   |restrictions=; Welcome to restricted wiki setting changes requests!
-This page can be used to request that [[Stewards]] change a setting that is restricted and cannot be changed by bureaucrats, including generation of image dumps on Special:DataDump, enabling or disabling extensions that require a Steward to enable them (such as Cargo, Semantic MediaWiki), and [[Dormancy Policy#Exemptions|Dormancy Policy exemptions]].

-Caveats for certain requests!
-* '''ReplaceText''': The wiki must have been created after May 11th, 2024.
-* '''Semantic Mediawiki''': These requests require a tech-steward, or for the steward to work with tech to complete. May be slower to process.
-* '''CirrusSearch''': Most wikis can request this without issue, though wikis with extreme page/file counts (>10k+) may encounter performance challenges.
-* '''Removing /wiki/''': Request at your own risk: this could result in link breakage under odd conditions. Should work and auto redirect by default though.
-* '''Dormancy policy exemptions''': Please review the [[Dormancy Policy#Exemptions|Dormancy Policy]].
-* '''Other extensions and settings''': Generally restricted for technical reasons. Please ask if you are curious. Not every restriction may be listed, this will be corrected as cases come up.
 '''To make a request''', copy the following code and '''place it at the very bottom of this page'''. Replace every section as needed:

 * '''If you are already a bureaucrat''': Visit Special:ManageWiki on your own wiki and uncheck *closed*. You will be set from there.
