Steward requests (Global permissions)

latest archive→

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

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

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: 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. 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.

Requests for global IP block exemption

Please be sure to follow the instructions below: Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewardswikimedia.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. Instructions for making a request 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. === Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} === {{sr-request |status = <!--don't change this line--> |domain = global<!--don't change this line--> |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} }} <Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~ 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.

Global IP block exempt for Heffalump1974

Currently can't edit articles on ru-wiki while using VPN (cause some Russian sites, even search engines and e-mail services are blocked due to complicated political affairs with the Ukraine, my home country), thanks, --Heffalump1974 (talk) 13:25, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

 Granted for 1 year to expire on 2019-01-27. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 13:25, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! Heffalump1974 (talk) 23:31, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Dqwyy

Status:    Done

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

Hi, I'm a Wikipedian from Mainland China, where Japanese Wikipedia was blocked recently. I make some cross-wiki contributions (not only at Japanese Wikipedia) with the help of proxy sometimes. I'm not sure whether other wikis will be blocked or not in the future. So I would like to get the global IPBE. Thanks. --dqwyy (talk) _{from zhwiki} 16:41, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Global rename for Nihlus

Status:    In progress

• Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
• User: Nihlus (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

Not ending before 5 February 2018 17:15 UTC

Hello everyone, I'm Nihlus. I'd like to help out the global renaming processing by going for the global renamer bit as I frequently come across requests that are awaiting a renamer response. I am mainly active on the English Wikipedia but would be able to handle requests in Spanish as well (en-N, es-2). I am an abuse filter helper on the English Wikipedia as well as an OTRS agent. Additionally, I have extensive first hand experience with the renaming process: meta, en-Simple, en-Usurp. Furthermore, I have worked behind the scenes with a Steward as well as a separate global renamer on building a solid understanding of the guidelines and learning how to deal with unusual or different requests since a lot of it goes off of the global renamer's judgment. Though it goes without saying, I am familiar with the Global Renamer Policy as well as the tools used to process global renames. Nihlus 17:15, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support - Nihlus has been heavily involved helping with requests on SRUC here, and on CHUS/CHUU on enwiki. He has a good grasp of the global renaming policy, and the practices that should be followed on both projects. I have no qualms about his ability to properly rename users. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:52, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Per Ajraddatz. Trusted and Experienced User. —Alvaro Molina (✉ - ✔) 21:57, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support actively involved on SRUC --Alaa :)..! 23:41, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, not now. You have less than 10k edits (9k on en), no x-wik ness, no sysop tools on a wiki, etc. Imho not experienced enough. --Steinsplitter (talk) 10:39, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Fine by me, and admin tools are (afaik) not required for the global rename right. Trijnstel_talk 14:02, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support definately. Clear need. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 14:11, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Strong support Clear need for the bit, and in my opinion, his experience is more than sufficient. The less than 10k is something irrelevant in my opinion; having 9,500 or 19,500 isn't big deal or relevant in any way with the ability to decide properly regarding rename requests. And the not a sysop part is of little importance to me. He has demonstrated with his work at the venues stated in his statement that he has solid judgment, so clearly support. --Kostas20142 (talk) 17:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support - there is no reason to oppose here. This user has enough experience to get this right. --Ks-M9 ^[disc.] 18:34, 23 January 2018 (UTC).
•  Support I have no concerns at all from my interactions with Nihlus, and I also trust ajr's judgement implicitly. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:08, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support per Ajraddatz. --Eurodyne (talk) 07:52, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Does a good job on the English Wikipedia. Sufficient knowledge, reliable. See no reason to oppose. Taketa (talk) 13:18, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Mahveotm (talk) 23:48, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Maybe can help handle request for renaming fastly. Murbaut (talk) 23:53, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
