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, though only stewards may use {{yes}} or {{no}} templates.
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.
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 rollback for TBloemink

Status:    In progress

I'd like to apply for global rollback rights, because I think global rollback would help me out fighting crosswiki vandalism (like spam or evw). I idle in most IRC channels that report crosswiki stuff (#cvn-sw, ##cvn-attacks, ##cvn-blocks and #wikimedia-stewards). While I don't have that many cross-wiki reverts, global rollback would certainly help with live spam attacks. Of course I double check an edit, and I only revert when it's clear vandalism.

I thank you for your consideration and your vote. Best regards, TBloemink talk 13:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Global rollback for Salebot

Status:    In progress

Salebot is an anti-vandalism bot running on frwiki and ptwiki. Since there is no way to grant it rollback rights only on the wikis where it operates, I'd like to grant it global rights. That way, instead of performing manual undos (downloading clean versions of pages and saving them over the vandalized contents), it can use the rollback API, which is a lot more efficient. --Salebot 21:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the bot owner, by the way. --Gribeco 21:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I understand why you would like to have global rollback, but it's only meant for reverting vandalism, see the Global rollback policy. Trijnstel 21:30, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is an anti-vandalism robot, which has been in operation for over 4 years on frwiki. --Gribeco 21:39, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose - too many false positives in my opinion, [1], [2], [3] in addition to Trijnstel's comment. Addihockey10 21:34, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support Totally supporting this request for rollback permission. Salebot has been working for years on frwiki and ptwiki, giving him this flag would be much easier than asking each community to vote for a local rollbacker status... Also, I would like to add that it is a simple technical request. As to false positives, global rollback or not, Salebot will keep reverting modifications detected as vandalisms. I see this argument as irrelevant here. Elfix 21:40, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, GR is not meant for this, the bot is not active cross-wiki. Savhñ 21:38, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Isn't requesting rollback on 700 wikis so you can use it on two serious overkill? Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:24, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, seems it would be more than two. Could you give us more information, like which wikis/languages it will be used on? Ajraddatz (Talk) 22:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    It is active on two wikis today. Since there is no way to grant local rollback status, I believe that my alternatives are either to ask for local sysop status, or to ask the local communities to establish a local rollback status and have it granted by the stewards, before I can ask for it to be granted to the bot. If there are other alternatives, I'd love to hear about them. --Gribeco 23:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I guess my other question would be why the bot needs rollback at all if it is functioning without it. I don't think the bot gets bored of using the undo API rather than the rollback... but I'm not an expert on complex bots, so I might be missing something here. While this is out of the gr scope, I'd be inclined to support this if there was a really good reason why the bot needs the rollback button. Ajraddatz (Talk) 00:35, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    It's for efficiency reasons: with undo, the bot has to download an entire copy of the clean version, and then upload it back as a new edit. This is cumbersome and time-consuming for large pages. This can lead to a snowball effect when there is heavy activity, which has forced me to stop running the bot on the toolserver, because processes were being killed once total resource usage exceeded toolserver limits. --Gribeco 04:07, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    That makes sense, I guess. I'd still like to explore the possibility of a local rollback flag before assigning it the global one, though I guess if that is too much work I'd support this. Ajraddatz (Talk) 04:37, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support Giving the global rollback status to the bot won't change anything about what it is already doing now, it will just make it easier and faster. This bot is the most efficient anti-vandalism user that we have on wiki.fr, I don't see any reason not to grant it the status. Udufruduhu 22:41, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question Question: Has this been discussed at fr. and pt.? What do they say? Seb az86556 01:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    I asked for local rollback rights on frwiki first, and was told by the bureaucrats that they did not have the ability to grant those specifically. --Gribeco 04:01, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Gribeco, are you sure it is not possible to assign it locally? Did fr.wiki sysops said why? I don't see any problem on doing it on pt.wiki after community approval. If there is any problem on assigning it locally, might be not a good idea to assign it globally.” Teles (T @ L C S) 16:54, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    frwiki has no local rollback group. Ajraddatz (Talk) 16:55, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Ouch. Well, then the technical impediment is only on fr.wiki.” Teles (T @ L C S) 17:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    So fr.wiki doesn't want rollback for anyone. Therefore, oppose. Seb az86556 21:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    frwiki does have rollback, but there is no group for only rollbacking. Also, some people on frwiki might find it excessive to give admin bit to a bot that only needs to rollback revisions. Note that, there is no specific rule about rollbacking here. Elfix 21:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose on principle, not the specifics of the bot. Having a bot with rollback means that the rollbacks are hidden, and to me that is undesirable to decide that at meta. If it is about local actions predominantly at a couple wikis, that is clearly local decision making and rollback can be granted by those communities if they see it as desirable. billinghurst sDrewth 02:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The bot has obviously been approved for use where it is being used, so why does it matter if the bot is using undo or rollback? The actual functioning of the bot isn't going to be changed - in fact, the lack of a difference is why I'm opposing this request right now. Whether rollbacks are hidden or undos are makes no difference since the exact same thing is happening, just in a different way. Ajraddatz (Talk) 02:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Salebot does not use the bot flag for undos, only for logging and notifying users. I would keep the bot flag off for rollbacks, since that gives patrollers the opportunity to double-check the bot edits. --Gribeco 04:01, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Requesting GR for only one wiki is out of the GR scope. Savhñ 21:01, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Comment I would like to see clarity on the proposal. Acting as a bot, but not with a bot flag, but instead a global rollback, Local community where bot applies has rollback, but not separately allocatable; another community does have rollback so it can be applied, no clarity on where else it is going to be or may be used, nor a comment on whether approval would be sought in other communities. No wonder I am confused, some clarity would help this poor soul. billinghurst sDrewth 05:04, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Agreed, giving him the global rollback status won't change anything but I wish this bot is a global anti-vandal bot to prevent the vandals and the bot has made over 1 million cross-wiki edits in total (mostly in fr and pt wiki) but actually I don't see any reason not to grant it the status but I wish this bot can do well. --Katarighe (Talk · Contributions · E-mail) 16:24, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose - for where the bot runs at this moment. Global rollback permission is not meant to be an alternative for wikis without local rollback group, we surely don't want to see other uses start to applying for gr like this. I'm happy to support if bot is globally active (and without much false positives too). --Bencmq 04:02, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Addihockey10

Status:    In progress

Hello, my username here is Addihockey10. I've been active in SWMT for quite awhile now, with a lot of experience in combating cross-wiki vandalism and spam. Note that some of those are deleted as they were spam/nonsense pages :-). You can find me on IRC in #wikimedia-stewards or e-mail if you prefer. I do not have a local sysop flag, however I have a fair knowledge of the bit. I can understand and speak french at an intermediate level, as well as having English as a native language. I operate two bots, sulutil:Addihockey10 (automated) and sulutil:AddihockeyBot. The former being one to replace raster images with their vectorized counterparts, and the latter an inactive crosswiki link bot. Thank you for your consideration. --Addihockey10 20:26, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
