This page hosts requests for global permissions. To make a request, read the relevant policy (global rollback , global sysop , global rename , …) 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 and global interface editor requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion while abuse filter helper and maintainer requests require no fewer than 7 days. Global renamer and global sysop requests require no fewer than 2 weeks of discussion. For requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, they may be closed by a steward without further discussion (after a reasonable amount of input).

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.
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 Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. 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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).
=== Global sysop 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|+2 week}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (no exceptions are allowed 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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Global editinterface for Nirmos

Status:    In progress

Hi. I would like to be a global interface editor to update old JavaScript. Nirmos (talk) 13:00, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is urgent. Many projects will be in script error later this month if no one does anything. I would like to fix as many projects as I can before that happens. Nirmos (talk) 17:12, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, these requests are typically open for 5 days. If there are urgent problems that need fixing, post a request on SRM. I also don't understand what you plan on doing - can you provide more specific details of what old JS you want to update, and where? Ajraddatz (talk) 17:13, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ajraddatz: The technical details are that all global variables (except mw) will be removed. You can read more here:
This needs to be done on all projects. Nirmos (talk) 17:21, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I guess that all other interface editors are aware of this too, right? —MarcoAurelio 17:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a joke. I need to start working now to minimize the destruction when this hits. Nirmos (talk) 17:46, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This right isn't a joke either. As you can understand, we can't approve this without community consensus and favourable comments. Thanks for your understanding. —MarcoAurelio 18:19, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support from myself. The requestee seems to be well-intentioned and competent enough to make the changes. If this is such a large problem though, there should probably be coordination with other volunteers and perhaps help from the WMF. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:23, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you aware it is discouraged to make use of this permission without asking the local communities in case they are not small? --Vogone (talk) 23:19, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Unconvinced that the user is willing to tread carefully and work cooperatively with local communities, given the "urgent" need to "minimize the destruction". Usually when I've seen this sort of rationale, this "reason" is used to stonewall the local community into submission. --Rschen7754 07:31, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose I'm not convinced that the user has enough JS experience, nor am I convinced that (as Rschen7754 says right above me) that the user will be careful enough with this right especially in the communities that dislike outsiders mucking around with their stuff. If the need is so pressing, as Nirmos claims it is, certainly there are stewards and/or others who have a proven track record with this right that can make the needed fixes.
