Steward requests/Global permissions
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).

- 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)

I was previously global renamer that got removed due to inactivity (about same reason as to why my GS removed due to inactivity), I'm asking this permission to be restored as there are no Indonesian global renamer available (except one who are currently on hiatus), and other global renamer had to ask rationale in Indonesian quite many times. I am also able to handle all request for most asian language. I am currently a Global Sysops, Indonesian Wikipedia Administrator and Meta Administrator, thank you.--AldnonymousBicara? 09:10, 1 March 2020 (UTC)

- 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)
- @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)
