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.

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

 |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.

Global IP block exempt for 荣智浩

Status:    In progress

<我是中国大陆用户，需要解锁全域IP>，谢谢, --荣智浩 (talk) 12:11, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

你确认你遇到的是全域封禁吗？你在commoms上也遇到过这种现象吗？如果没有的话，我建议你在中文维基本地申请IP封禁豁免。另外你需要用英语解释你遇到的情况。—Techyan（Talk） 06:01, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Horzagger

Status:    In progress

Hello, I am a nomad worker around the world and I very often connect on the Net with unsecured connections, then I prefer to use a VPN, and I use Tor in some regions of the world. I need to be allowed to connect with my VPN and with Tor on Wikipedia. (I have sign up on fr.wikipedia with my VPN, and I want to participate on several wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation). Thanks, --Horzagger (talk) 03:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Horzagger: All your edits are only to this cite? Ruslik (talk) 09:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruslik0: Hello, sorry I'm new on Wikipedia, and I can't edit because all the IP addresses I'm probably going to use are blocked on Wikipedia. --Horzagger (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Horzagger: Which project do you plan to contribute to? --Jyothis (talk) 15:26, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for CoconutLord80

Status:    In progress

<(Sorry for spelling errors) I use Cloudflare's DNS service 1.1.1.1 , as well as a VPN ocaionaly. I love editing Wikipedia and making it a better sight. My ISP's DNS is extremely slow so it is extremely hard for me to edit without 1.1.1.1. I need this exemption because otherwise, I will not be able to edit Wikipedia and make it better. I hope that you will understand my situation and help me. >, thanks, --~~~~

You can use 1.1.1.1 DNS service without the VPN by selecting "1.1.1.1" and not "1.1.1.1 with WARP+" option in the settings of your 1.1.1.1 app. If your DNS is the only problem, you can simply use the 1.1.1.1 settings without the VPN. Is it sufficient or do you still need VPN after trying that options? — regards, Revi 01:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Even though your mobile OS will report you have connected to "VPN server", for simple 1.1.1.1 settings, it only routes DNS traffic to Cloudflare, and all other traffic doesn't route Cloudflare. WARP+ routes all traffic through Cloudflare.) — regards, Revi 01:12, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
