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 rename for Xaosflux

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 9 March 2020 03:33 UTC
Hello all, I'm a bureaucrat, admin, and oversighter from enwiki and local meta-wiki oversighter and admin. I am familiar with the policy and am available to help with the rename queue. As a local oversighter, we occasionally get requests referring to the private rename system (generally declining with explanations) so being able to see the comments from Special:GlobalRenameRequests would be useful when processing such requests as well. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration, — xaosflux Talk 03:33, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Global IP block exempt for Borschts

Status:    Done

Hi there, I want to request the Global IP-exempt right because I usually use the public library's computer to contribute, but many of the public library's IP is blocked both locally and globally, also, because of my family reason, I usually go to Shenzhen, that's mean i need to use the proxy tools to contribute, similarly, many of the proxy tool's IP is blocked both locally and globally.--BorschtsTalk 10:30, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for AsharaDayne

Status:    In progress

Hello, I come from China Mainland. I am an active editor of Chinese Wikipedia. For reasons known to all, I need a VPN to login in it currently. I need the permission for editing links on Wikidata. Thanks. --AsharaDayne (talk) 09:14, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AsharaDayne, could you comment your English Wikipedia block, please? --Base (talk) 08:18, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Base, I had some edit wars with other editors because I didn't know the rules at that time. But the reason why they banned me was unacceptableby, the administrator of English Wikipedia thought I was another user's dummy account according to en:Wikipedia:The duck test. AsharaDayne (talk) 11:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@AsharaDayne: The block should be appealled to Unblock Ticket Request System. You should explicitly state whether you are the alleged sock master in your unblock request. (You are not banned.)--GZWDer (talk) 16:10, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@GZWDer:, Thanks, I will try it. AsharaDayne (talk) 07:48, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Davidwhy

Status:    In progress

Hello! I am from China Mainland. Because zh.wikipedia.org is blocked on the China GFW, I cannot access Wikipedia without an open proxy or a VPN. I had, and will, only edit when there is some small minor errors. So, if you could give me a global IP block exempt, I would be very grateful. Thanks, --DavidwhyDavidwhy (talk) 03:58, 15 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davidwhy, do you intend to edit other wikis than zh.wikipedia.org? If not, a local Chinese Wikipedia exemption, zh:Wikipedia:IP封禁例外, would do you a better job than the global one. --Base (talk) 14:15, 16 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for nobuts

Status:    In progress

Hi, I've been a registered editor since 2007, but currently I reside in China where Wikipedia is blocked, so I have to use a proxy/VPN to browse and edit here. I previously submitted a request when I was blocked while editing English Wikipedia and my request was granted and now I'm able to edit English Wikipedia. Today I wanted to minor-edit a translated page of Chinese Wikipedia and realized that my IP is blocked for Chinese Wikipedia, so I'm not sure if I need to request here for global permission. Thanks, cheers!

Please, login and confirm this request. Ruslik (talk) 13:50, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Minorax fixed your request. ~riley (talk) 22:40, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You have very few global edits, and it seems like you may only intend to edit enwiki. If that is the case, we have our own process at en:WP:IPBE which seems more applicable. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 06:12, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Dthomsen8: Is this global or local block that effects you? Ruslik (talk) 12:44, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, I can edit here and on en.wikipedia, so I am fine.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 17:38, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Not done per above comment. Request locally if needed. Jon Kolbert (talk) 04:00, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a zh-wikipedia editor from China mainland. And because of GFW I can't gain access to Wikipedia without a proxy.

Global interface editor for Sophivorus

Status:    On hold
Not ending before 14 February 2020 22:41 UTC

Hi! I'd like to request a renewal of my global-interface-editor permission. The main reason is because I maintain the ProveIt gadget on 40+ wikis. I haven't done many changes in the last few months but I have done several changes earlier in 2019 and I plan to do more in 2020. Furthremore, I'm working on other scripts that I hope to be able to spread to other wikis and promote to gadgets if the communities agree. Thanks! Sophivorus (talk) 22:41, 9 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The previous term ends on that date. Ruslik (talk) 20:17, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
