Oversight policy/Contacting oversighters
Appearance
(Redirected from Oversight policy/Requests for oversight)
This page centralises the contact details for oversighters across all Wikimedia wikis. For wikis with local oversighters, please contact them privately. For wikis without local oversighters, please contact stewards privately.
Please do not post your request publicly.
All Wikimedia wikis
- Stewards can grant themselves temporary oversight access on individual wikis when needed.
- Please check if the wiki has their own local oversighters before approaching a steward; the list is below.
- Please do not put your request on the wiki or broadcast it on the public IRC channel. All requests should be made privately.
- Ombuds have the technical ability to view suppressed revisions.
IRC
- Users can contact stewards in the IRC channel #wikimedia-stewardsconnect. Please ask for a steward in the channel, then make your request in a private message to that steward. Do not broadcast the request in the public channel. In emergencies type
!steward
, to get the attention of a steward. For normal requests type instead@steward
. Then, in any case, write directly to the steward; usually just clicking on their name.
- Send an email to the stewards' VRT private queue at stewards-oversightwikimediaorg (direct wiki interface), or
- send an email to any steward privately using Special:EmailUser.
