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.

Global rollback for Synoman Barris

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 3 January 2022 21:13 UTC

Hello everyone, I would like to present myself to the community to volunteer for the role of a global Rollbacker. Firstly, I have been active in fighting cross wiki spam and vandalism in most wikis using the abuse log and SW viewer on almost a daily basis. I have a broad understanding on the use of rollback since am a Rollbacker in three projects. Secondly,I understand that this right will grant me autopatrol in all wikis and therefore I'll only revert clear cut vandalism and spam using it ( it would also be nice to not be stopped by the filters everytime I mark a userpage for spam) I ask the community to evaluate my contributions and trust me enough with this permission not to abuse it but to use it for the good of the projects. Cheers --MeganB... …till the end 21:13, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Guxiangli Tongguan

Status:    In progress

Hello everybody. I am a Chinese student living in Australia. I haven't been able to edit lately because of many blocked IP blocks. Therefore, I would like everyone to exempt me from IP. I need to always mask my IP address for reasons of my personal security and privacy. However, I am unable to make contributions to Wikimedia projects when I am logged in and accessing the Internet via an IP that happens to be blocked. I would greatly appreciate it if I were granted an exemption, so that I may continue to contribute to Wikimedia projects. I do not have any other account on Wikimedia projects.--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]

Identical. Stang 19:18, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Stang. Hi, sometimes I get blocked from editing when using VPN with the reason using an open proxy. I use a VPN when visiting the website that get blocked (i.e. reddit) by government when I need to get the news from there and update Wikipedia articles. It's annoying that I always have to turn off my VPN whenever I want to edit on Wikipedia. I often edit on (id|jv)(wiki|wiktionary), and less on Commons, Old Wikisource, and Wikidata for interlanguage linking. Therefore I need a global IP block exemption, and I promise I will use it carefully and will not abuse it. Thanks!--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 07:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]
@Guxiangli Tongguan: You are currently residing in Australia so you shouldn't have any issue accessing Wikipedia without the VPN active. So long as you continue using your account and edit while logged in, your IP information is not public. Please disable your VPN/proxy in order to access Wikipedia.

Hi Guxiangli Tongguan, you need to explain why a proxy is needed if you edit in Australia. Also, if you want to edit Chinese Wikipedia, you need a local flag. Please visit this page for how to request such exemption. Stang 01:31, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Hoshimgg

Status:    In progress

I want to edit this page(https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BF%AE%E6%94%B9%E6%A2%9D%E4%BB%B6%E5%88%A4%E6%96%B7%E8%A6%86%E8%93%8B), but I am in Mainland China, so I cannot edit. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hoshimgg (talk) 06:22, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You should ask for a local exemption first. Ruslik (talk) 20:49, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Li_Dicker

Status:    In progress

Hello administerators.I'm Li_Dicker from China.When I was searching a Chinese actress tonight,I found it annoying that someone write Taiwan as an independent county. From ancient China to this moment,Taiwan has been part of territory of China.At the same time,United Nations has admitted that Taiwan is part of China.But some reactionary try to prowork disord to separate my country and some Taiwan people can't recogoniese the fact so that they write Taiwan as Republic of China not People's Republic of China .Now,as a Chinese citizen,I have to correct this mistake.But because of having to use proxy software to access Wikipedia,I can't correct the website.I hope administrators can give me the right to correct these mistakes(https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%8B%E8%8A%B8%E6%A8%BA#).Thanks for your cooperation.

Note: I want to correct this mistake globally not just correct it on zhwiki.This is a global political problem.I want everyone have a correct cognition about Taiwan.As a Chinese, I obligated to correct these mistakes globally.Thanks for administrators and merry chrismas everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone！！--—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Li Dicker (talk) 15:01, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For zhwiki, you should try and get the local exemptions first. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 13:05, 24 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Din-nani1

Status:    In progress

Hello All Administrators, This is Abdul-Rasheed Yussif, User:Din-nani1 from Ghana. I am a Co-Founder of Dagbani Wikimedians User Group. Through hard work we have been given a new language Wikipedia i.e Dagbani Wikipedia. With this, there are a lot of newcomers that still need skills to be able to contribute to Wikimedia projects. I am one of the trainers of such contributors and usually juggle among the various Wikimedia projects in order to help editors to be able gain the relevant knowledge and skills required to contribute to the various projects of Wikimedia, this usually lands me into my IP address being blocked. It is for this reason that I request for Global IP Block exemption.Din-nani1 (talk) 06:57, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Din-nani1, thanks for the message! If you're using a VPN service, I recommend to disable it -- that should make you able to edit freely. If you're not using a VPN, I'd like to ask you to share the IP address you use, so we can investigate the block. If you don't want to do that publicly, you can email stewards(_AT_)wikimedia.org instead (just note the ticket number here [will come in an automated response], so we can follow-up quickly). Thanks!

@Base and Ruslik0: Hello, could one of you please help with this request? It looks the requestor wants to test something, but I've little to zero idea what is the test about. Thanks, --Martin Urbanec (talk) 20:36, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They want to have 2FA tester assigned to User 909080978978 so that they test how it works first. But Riurik is also the user that has requested me to lock WMFOffice on my talk page and asked all sorts of pointless questions so I am not sure where on the spectrum of "well this would not hurt" and "is this just another pointless thing?" to place this request. --Base (talk) 21:29, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global Interface Editor for Ladsgroup (extension)

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 2 January 2022 01:51 UTC

Hi, I have had this right since Jan 2021 (discussion) and has done over 100,000 edits to fix deprecated javascript usages across all wikis. It enabled us to finally remove and close several really long standing tickets with next to none disruption like phab:T72470 (after seven years) and phab:T280944 (four years since upgrade to jq 3). I have reduced number of deprecation warnings from 20M per day to 1M per day (graph of 1:100 sampling). I'm planning to do more cleanups and then removals to make the site faster for everyone, including phab:T193314 and phab:T130879 and keeping the right would be useful for me. thanks, --Amir (talk) 01:51, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
