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:

  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.

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 stewards(_AT_)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.
Instructions for making a request

  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

 |domain    = global<!--don't change this line-->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}
}}

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.

Requests for global rename permissions

Steward requests/Global permissions/Global renamers

Global rename for Gestrid

Not ending before 28 August 2016 20:53 UTC

I would like to help out with rename requests, specifically ones on my "home project" of English Wikipedia. As someone who helps at something enwiki calls the Teahouse, I run into quite a few new users with usernames that may need to be changed (ex. promotional usernames). (The Teahouse is a place specifically designed for new users to ask questions in a safe place and get answers from experienced editors, just so you all know.) I would like to not only direct those users to the rename request page, but also help them through the process. (I'd like to remind people that, for new users, most renames can't be done through the special page, as they have most likely not registered an email address.) I believe I would be suitable for this responsibility and privilege because I have had experience with quite a lot of new users, both the good kind (legitimate editors) and bad kind (vandals, questionable editors, sockpuppets, and the like). I've also been through the process (using the special page), so I know how it works on the renamed user's end. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them. I've watchlisted this page while this "not-vote" (as we English Wikipedians call it) is going on.
Thank you for your consideration. -- Gestrid (talk) 20:53, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't want to give out a hard number, but 1600 is too low. It's not just overall experience, it's demonstrating trust and that you will use the tools according to policy, even in difficult cases. --Rschen7754 23:55, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • How much experience do you have successfully referring people to CHU or the request form? I agree with Rschen though that I would prefer to see much more experience generally before granting these advanced permissions. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 23:56, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
