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.
Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global sysop discussions require no fewer 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.
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.

Global IP block exempt for Lanwi1

Status:    On hold

Because of the Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China and Great Firewall of China, I can't access to Wikimedia Projects some page directly, so I need to use proxy visit wikipedia sometimes. I have 4700+ edits in zhwp and 1550+ edits in jawp without block record. thanks, --Lanwi1 (talk) 09:39, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Support If so then you have support from me. --Kolega2357 (talk) 09:46, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From checking meta data, I don't see that you are blocked. If you are still getting blocked, would you be so kind as to email to stewards the block text, and we can review it there. — billinghurst sDrewth 14:50, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because the GFW block Wikipedia HTTPS links, so I need to use open proxy edit Wikimedia Projects. --Lanwi1 (talk) 16:28, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
billinghurst meant that he didn't see your IP used on meta being globally blocked. --Bencmq (talk) 09:05, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I use IP is 65.49.*.*. --Lanwi1(Talk) 09:40, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I use IP really has been blocked. ([1], etc.)--Lanwi1(Talk) 12:37, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Qwerty Binary

Status:    In progress

Dear stewards,

I have been an editor since ages and have a handful of edits. I often edit from computers on a college/university network with a shared IP. Universities being what they are, the IP address is frequently blocked and for long durations. So that I might be able to edit while on the college/university network, I am thus requesting a global IP block exemption and would appreciate your kindness.

My apologies if this isn't the right template or in the right section. Any additional help is very welcome.

Much thanks and kind regards. -QB --Qwerty (talk) 10:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me like you mainly edit the English Wikipedia? Maybe it's best to seek a local IP block exemption first. If it's granted, and you wish to extend your activities to other wikis at some time, a global IPBE can be considered. --MF-W 14:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, MF-Warburg, and thank you for your reply. Oh, that sounds like a good and reasonable idea and I'll give that a go first.
If I were to request IP block exemption from Wiki Commons, however, would I have to request that independently at Wiki Commons as well? --Qwerty (talk) 08:08, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at commons:Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard I think. --MF-W 14:56, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Mehdi

Status:    In progress

Hi, I'm active user in commons and fa.wp. In Iran the Iranian government filtered lots of pictures, images and pages of Wikimedia projects! So i should use a proxy (many kinds) for working and editing in commons and other projects of Foundation! I have this right in commons and fa.wp locally but I have file mover right in commons and some times i have to rename and move files to new name in other projects but it is impossible for me when I'm connected to the internet with blocked IPs! I need Global IP block exempt right for edit pages and files without problem! thanks, --MehdiTalk 14:56, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global editinterface for JAn Dudík

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Not done

I want to ask for global editinterface rights. I want to use them for removing old-style interwiki links on locked pages (usually templates). These links are mostly present in Wikidata and on some smaller wikis there remains only few locked pages with this links [2]. Estimated period for these rights is till end 2013. thanks, --JAn Dudík (talk) 06:38, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Comment This request seems to be a bit out of scope for global editinterface to me, as it was created to allow editing the interface mainly (also important css and js pages etc.), not simply protected main space pages. --MF-W 21:28, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is also my feeling but according to Interface editors "[t]hey maintain templates and the site's JavaScript (*.js) and Cascading Style Sheets (*.css) resources". I don't know whether removing interwiki links falls under template maintaining, though. This task seems to fall more under the GS scope, if I understand that correctly. Vogone talk 21:47, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes... templates...! You can manage the interwiki links alongside maintaining the templates themselves, I think. But seen separately, I agree that this seems to be more a task for Global Sysops. Projects where GSes don't have access can probably be assumed to have the local capacity to deal with these links. --MF-W 14:21, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • When I wanted global sysop rights for similar task (maintaining interwiki in locked pages), you (MF-W) said that „Maybe the global editinterface right would fit better to what you want to do.“ [3]. So, which one is the proper?JAn Dudík (talk) 11:08, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hm, I wanted to express that I think here this is a task global sysops can do, without it necessarily being their main task or a task for which Global Sysop rights should be given. The discussion you link to was in 2010, I suppose my opinion on what Global Editinterface should be used for may have changed; and/or I didn't particularly think about the permissibility of using GEI for this when writing that. --MF-W 18:33, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not done due to lack of support. --Bencmq (talk) 13:40, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Global editinterface for 99of9

Status:    Done

I'd like an extension of my global editinterface rights. I was granted them a year ago, and have been translating the sidebars of any non-English wiki I visit into English. I have not encountered any problem in the last year, and so if you are willing, I would like to continue doing this task. It's not high-volume work, but I think it's useful. In terms of trustworthiness, I'm a bureaucrat on Commons, and have never been warned or blocked on any project. --99of9 (talk) 19:53, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Extended for 1 year. This activity does not seem to have created any problems including in large wikis. Ruslik (talk) 16:55, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks all. --99of9 (talk) 20:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
