Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Advanced permissions

This page is for requesting advanced permissions like the CheckUser & Suppressor permission and for community discussion regarding it. For other permissions, see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions. For requests for removal of permission, see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Removal.

Paste the following at the end of the page. No need to put a signature.

{{subst:Requests for permissions/Discussed request
| checkuser  = <!-- Type "yes" without quote marks, if requesting for Suppressor permission -->
| suppressor = <!-- Type "yes" without quote marks, if requesting for CheckUser permission -->
| number     = <!-- If this isn't your first request for that permission, put the number of request here -->
| reason     = <!-- Write your reason for requesting the permission here-->
}}

To become a CheckUser or Suppressor, one must get at least 80% of the non-neutral vote in favour with at least 25 votes cast. These permission requests may be granted or rejected by any global steward. If consensus is achieved within 14 days after requesting, ask global stewards to grant the permission ^{(for CheckUser|for Suppressor)} with a link to this page, who will then evaluate your application.

CheckUser: At any given moment, there should always be 2 CheckUsers or none at all. See meta:CheckUsers for more details.
Suppressor: At any given moment, there should always be 2 Suppressors or none at all. They must be both 18 years of age and of legal age in their jurisdiction, and willing to sign the Wikimedia Foundation's confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information. See meta:Suppressors for more details.

Temporary permissions: Temporary CheckUser or Suppressor permission may also be granted by global stewards if adequate need can be exhibited. Such rights will be revoked as soon as the need for such right is over.

Closer's instructions: When closing a request, use {{subst:successful rfp top | Summary here }} or {{subst:unsuccessful rfp top | Summary here }} as appropriate at the top of the request, and {{subst:rfp bottom}} at the bottom of the request.
