This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop) and make a request below.

Global rollback requests generally require no less than 5 days of discussion, while global sysop discussions last no less than 2 weeks.

Requests for global rollback permissions

Please be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability. Please also review the Global rollback policy. Instructions for making a request  Before requesting, make sure that: You have a global account; You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account; To make a request Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain of why you need the access and why you're suitable. === Global rollback for [[User:Foo|Foo]] === {{sr-request |status = <!-- don't change this line --> |domain = global <!-- don't change this line --> |user name = Username }} The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration no less than 5 days. This is not a vote, and all input is welcome. Stewards will determine whether consensus exists; when doing so it is likely that the weight given to the input of those involved in cross-wiki work will be most influential.

Global rollback for AndrewN

Status:    In progress

• Global user: AndrewN (SULinfo • edits • CA • global groups • crosswiki-ness • crossactivity)

Planning to become involved with the m:SWMT, and would like to have access to the same tools I have on ENWP (my primary wiki). Have had RB on ENWP for 2 years, no issues, revocations, etc. No blocks, no AN/I. Thanks. AndrewN (talk) 02:37, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Oppose. Sorry, but not enough cross-wiki activity yet. -- Tegel _(Talk) 02:58, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

We tend to like to see some actual SWMT activity first so we know how you can revert in languages that you don't understand. Please get some experience with that first and then re-apply for this. Ajraddatz (Talk) 04:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

&   13 edits outside of homewiki, none of them reverts. As I often suggest to people asking for global rollback without the necessary crosswiki experience, I would suggest using a global.js solution and TWINKLE, it provides you with the core part of the GR toolset and it's what several users use without issues :) Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 06:26, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I've now made a page detailing the process of setting up TWINKLE to work on all wikis at User:Snowolf/How to globally TWINKLE which you might find useful. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 07:07, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Oppose I've seen you on IRC, but I expect much more edits on foreign wikis than that, especially vandalism tagging/reverts in foreign languages.--Jasper Deng (talk) 17:38, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Agreed with above. You could actually use some more crosswiki experience before getting this right. -Barras talk 20:02, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

A request

Firstly, I understand I'm not following the instructions, which would reflect very poorly upon me if I were requesting this for myself. However, as I'm not requesting it for myself, I don't think the template is appropriate anyway. Basically could someone please look at w:Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Who_would_like_to_do_their_good_deed_for_the_day? ASAP - there's a Syrian guy and apparently he just can't edit because Syrian editors are being monitored on Wikipedia. Egg Centric (talk) 21:42, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Local IPBE should be enough. Global IPBE only affects global blocks. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 21:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Apparently one needs both a global IPBE and a local IPBE in such a situation. Sigh. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 21:48, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Cheers Snowolf. Does w:User:DeltaQuad know that? I'll also alert him to this of course, cause I've no idea what the Syrian chap's status is (and presumably it's rouhgly 3am there anyway) Egg Centric (talk) 23:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

With regards to this specific user, they will not need a global IPBE as there is no global block affecting the range this user is trying to edit on. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 00:04, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
