This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback, global sysop) and make a request below. Explain why membership is needed for that group, and detail prior experience or qualifications.
This is not a vote and any active Wikimedia editor may participate in the discussion.
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

Shortcut:
SRGR

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.

Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

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 {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than 5 days (with rare exceptions , no matter how obvious the result may seem). 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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

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 sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on [[<tvar name="T:GS">Template:List of global sysops</tvar>|Users with global sysop access]] and ask them to subscribe to the [[<tvar name="2">mail:global-sysops</tvar>|global sysops mailing list]].</translate>

Please note that Global sysops discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Requests for global editinterface permissions

Steward requests/Global permissions/GEI-Header

Global editinterface for Beau

Note : This section won't be automatically archived by the bot

Status: Done

Global user: Beau (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I want to assist in resolving bugzilla:37156. I will post notification when I finish, thanks, --Beau (talk) 12:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You probably need local sysop access? Ruslik (talk) 13:10, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only short term access was required. Added, then removed in short succession. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:14, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global IP block exemption

Shortcut:
SRIPBE

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review [[<tvar name="GIBE">Global IP block exemption</tvar>|Global IP block exemption]]. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewards

wikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.

Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.</translate>

<translate> If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see [[<tvar name="ipbe">zh:WP:IPBEMAIL</tvar>|this instruction]] to request a local IP block exemption. </translate>

<translate> Instructions for making a request</translate>

<translate> Before requesting global IP block exemption, 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 request global IP block exemption: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.</translate>

}}
<translate><!--T:6-->
<Add an explanation here>, thanks</translate>, --~~~~

<translate> The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.</translate>

Global IP block exempt for Shujenchang

Status: Done

Global user: Shujenchang (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I contribute to Chinese Wikipedia and live in China now. Because of the internet censorship in China, I often have to visit Wikimedia projects via VPN or proxy, but many IPs of proxies such as Freegate is blocked by many Wikimedia projects. Besides that, I've already have IP block exempt permission in zh.wikipedia, but sometimes I need to edit files or articles on Commons or other language Wikipedia. So I want to have the permission of global IP block exempt. Thanks. --Shujenchang (talk) 10:28, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You can use HTTPS to bypass the Firewall. Bencmq (talk) 13:32, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes HTTPS is blocked too by my ISP. --Shujenchang (talk) 15:29, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can see six successful uses of IP addresses, none of which is blocked. I understand that this is a negative check for the of existence a block, however, I don't see anything. Would you be able to contact one of the stewards with evidence of a block. Thanks. — billinghurst sDrewth 13:28, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Besides, to connect to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc more conveniently, I always keep my VPN connected. I use VPNChina most time, whose IP address is 67.215.241.74, which is blocked by many Wikimedia Projects as an open proxy IP address. Without this permission, I have to disconnect the VPN when edit Wikimedia Projects (even sometimes I cannot visit Wiki without VPN at all, even though using HTTPS), then connect VPN again after my edit. It is very inconvenient! So I think I really need this permission to make me convenient. Thanks. --Shujenchang (talk) 13:38, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The screenshot below can be a evidence of the block of my VPN's IP address. --Shujenchang (talk) 13:59, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And here's evidence of the block by my ISP even though use HTTPS sometimes.

DoneThanks for the extra information, it puts context around the matter. Generally with local blocks we would prefer to see local solutions, rather than central remediation, though on this occasion I have done it. — billinghurst sDrewth 16:32, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot! --Shujenchang (talk) 19:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
