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 DannyS712

Status:    In progress

Hi all. I'd like to request global rollback to better help with combating vandalism and long term abuse across multiple projects. I

  • Am a sysop on mediawiki and english wikiversity
  • Hold rollback rights on multiple other projects where they are available to non-admins, and make use of the rights
  • Am a part of the small wiki monitoring team, and use SWViewer to help patrol, among other things
  • Have read and understand the policy governing global rollback
  • Know to be cautious when I don't know a language, and if in doubt leave edits for someone else to examine

Please let me know if you have any questions for me. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 06:50, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rollback for CptViraj

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 2 February 2020 07:10 UTC

Hi, I'm active member of SWMT since October 2019, I'm active in crosswiki vandalism/spam patrolling. I think global rollbacker will definitely help me in my work. I've read and I understand the global rollback policy. Thankyou! -- CptViraj (📧) 07:10, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for Ritchie333

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 29 January 2020 18:14 UTC

I am a longstanding (if sometimes controversial) admin on the English Wikipedia, and sometimes deal with unblock requests for username changes. I have recently advised somebody to contact a global renamer as part of the procedure to unblock them, and having seen a protege of mine acquire global renamer rights here, it seems like a reasonable idea to request them myself. I have 2FA enabled. Ritchie333 (talk) 18:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for فيصل

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 5 February 2020 11:05 UTC

Hello, I'm an editor and sysop in ar.wiki (my home wiki), I was a global rename in May 2018, but I was inactive for almost 2 months then I decided to remove my global rename, and I will be back when I will be active, and now I'm active (as I graduated from the university). Anyway, we are on ar.wiki suffer from user names that violates our local username policy, in this time we have only 3 GR, and one of them is not active, and I think we need more GR to deal with the renaming accounts. so having the ability to perform these renames would enhance my ability to preform this work and help in it. I read Global rename policy, and Global renamers (I will focus essentially on requests on Arabic Wikipedia) so since I'm available on a daily basis, and there doesn't seem to be a reason that would prevent me from participating daily for the time being. Thank you.--Faisal talk 11:05, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Levg

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 10 February 2020 11:15 UTC

Hi, I am admin, bureaucrat and oversight on ru-wikipedia. Had global renamer flag until 2016 when it was revoked due to prolonged period of inactivity. Since I have returned to normal level of activity and my colleagues feel that another renamer will be useful, I am requesting this flag again. I intend to use it only for rename requests submitted on ru–wikipedia. Thanks. --Levg (talk) 11:15, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting global IP block exemption, 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 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}}}} ===

<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 kiyoweap

Status:    Done

When I enabled the upgraded Norton's "VPN protection" utility, I was reassigned an IP in a blocked range (which I emailed to "stewards"). I prefer to be able to edit without disabling. I have made regular contributions on en and ja wikipedia, enough to persuade wiki that I deserve the JSTOR access pass. --Kiyoweap (talk) 11:06, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Peterwu2019

Status:    In progress

I'm in Mainland China, where most Wikis are blocked. I'm using VPN to use them. But I want to take part in them and try to edit. But the full blockade of all Wikis really bothers me. My IP address is hidden through the VPN, so I can't provide it in the unblock request. Because of the IP range block, I can't even write any words in my talk page, I even can't show my unblock request there, thus I can never contribute, though I'm also a victim. I hope to unblock, though it's neither your error nor my fault. If you can consider unblocking, it can be really great. If the unblock can cause problems, I'll also respect your decisions , thanks, --Peterwu2019 (talk) 07:30, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Global IP block exempt for Betty

Status:    In progress

Hi, I'm from mainland China and can't access wiki without using a proxy. The IP of the proxy seems to be blocked. Can you give me exemption so I can keep contributing to wiki? Thanks! --Betty (talk) 03:13, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
