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.

}}
::''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 sysop for Tulsi Bhagat

Status:    In progress

Transparency: Steward requests/Global permissions/2019-03#Global sysop for Tulsi Bhagat

Hello! Many thanks for putting your trust in me. To be honest, my activity is limited since I received GR. It's because of events and outreach i took part on (page is not up-to-date). Hopefully, I am active on various IRC channels and keep on monitoring xWiki for vandals, spam or LTAs. I've 0.65 xWikiness. I would like to request GS a bit to directly deal with spambots/xWikivandals/LTAs whenever they appears. I've read and understood the GS policy and information, and I assure you I will abide by it. Additionally, the timezone UTC+5:45 i am living in, will surely benefit. Also, I am experienced of using sysop toolkit being an admin here on Meta-Wiki, Wikimedia Commons, etc. I hope the community would give me chance to serve as a GS too.

PS, My name is Tulsi Bhagat, and I am not a cross-wiki abuse. Thank you for your consideration! Kind regards, — Tulsi Bhagat (contribs | talk) 09:32, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Chansey

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 1 April 2020 19:09 UTC

Hello. I am Chansey from trwiki. First of all I am neither a sysop nor bureaucrat. I am a local patrol. I am a Turkish native speaker also I can speak English. I like to help users on my home wiki and I describe myself a vandalism fighter. I like to contribute for establishing a healthy project for good purpose and I believe Wikipedia can improve with mutual communication. I realized that no user is global renamer who is Turkish native speaker (only one native speaker steward on duty). I would like to be volunteer for helping users who request for renaming, especially Turkish speakers. I read policy several times and its soul is not so much different from our local policy. Yes, I know we are a developing wiki (but have too much potential), there is not so much request from us, however it will change. Trwiki is expanding. You might concern about my edit counter on meta but I believe I should edit my home wiki first for gain experience and I know the Wiki system, I am a good reader. So I want to serve as a volunteer to all Wikipedia users globally. I encourage myself. Thanks for your precious comments in advance. Regards. Chansey (talk) 19:09, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question Question: @Chansey: Hey, Nice to see your willingness to offer help with username changes, but before I make my mind could you please show me any experience/incidents which indicates that you are aware with the process of name change not just the policy. Also could you please link me local page that handle name changes on trwiki as I am unable to find one. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:55, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @1997kB:. After Single User Login finalisation, renaming authorization has been withdrawn from local bureaucrat in trwiki. You can see explanation page there but in Turkish. So, I can not show you my expericence about renaming, I could not rename. Actually no one can (maybe a steward who I said above or bureaucrats who were active before SUL finalisation). Only global renamers and stewards can rename users. For example an active trwiki user changed username here also some of them are (1, 2) pending. However I can show you as an evidence of my knowledge about usernames. It is trwiki local user block request page. I requested lots of block for inappropriate user name (in Turkish: Uygunsuz KA or KA politikasına aykırılık). For example 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 etc, I can increase the numbers of my requests. I hope I could explain myself clearly... Thanks.Chansey (talk) 07:10, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Phjtieudoc

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 2 April 2020 04:17 UTC

Hello. I'm Phjtieudoc from the Vietnamese Wikipedia. I have joined Wikipedia since March 16th, 2017 and currently have more than 10000 edits on Vietnamese Wikipedia. I can speak Vietnamese and English. Currently I'm a Patroller on Wikipedia, which fight vandalism and tagging speedy deletion on articles, and helping the newcomers. For months, our "user renaming request" page have tons of requests on renaming. Thus we do have a global renamer who speaks Vietnamese but he usually don't active for personal reasons, and most of the global renamer couldn't speak Vietnamese, so it is hard for them to know the name changing reasons provided by users. I came here from 1997kB's recommendation and I'd like to volunteer to be the second renamer for the Vietnamese Wikipedia to complete those undone renaming request and respond them more quickly. I am often active on our home Wikipedia and want to make Wikipedia a better place for the users. I have read the terms & policies on meta and want to be another hand to reduce the works of global renamers, free them more times for editing. Thank you for your attention to this request, have a nice day and best regards! Phjtieudoc (talk) 04:17, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Support Well.. not a perfect candidate, but I am satisfied with their work on local venue-which receives good amount of requests and there's only one native renamer to handle them.
To the candidate, if this pass please proceed carefully and whenever have doubts, consult before act. Good luck! ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:01, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for FerdiBf

Status:    In progress

My IP is blocked and the alledged reason is "Open Proxy". I am an author in the German wikipedia with more than 18k edits and more than 400 articles. I have no idea, why this block applies to me. I am not aware of anything that I could have done wrong. It happens from time to time that I am blocked for a short while which is very annoying. A global exemption would be very helpful, thanks --FerdiBf (talk) 19:12, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not that I have any issue with granting you the exemption, but maybe you use a VPN or similar tool? Would you be willing to share the error message to stewards@wikimedia.org, so we can check the block was really placed correctly, and that you are, for some reason, indeed connecting via an open proxy? --Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:27, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the German error message:

It basically says that I would use "open proxies", whatever this exactly may mean. I even don't know what I could change. This differs from an earlier message which proposed to ask for an exception and which had directed me to this page. That's the current status. Presently I cannot make any edits. Any hint what I could do would be highly appreciated.--FerdiBf (talk) 16:42, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It worked fine for a few days but now the blocked status is back. Please help.--FerdiBf (talk) 18:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There is a log of Vituzzu's rangeblock here. The WHOIS indicates this site is hosted at leaseweb.com, a web host. You are probably employing a VPN service (en:Avira) that is hosted at leaseweb. Somebody logging onto English Wikipedia through a web host would risk having their connection blocked under the en:WP:OP rules. Though I don't deal with VPNs very often, my guess is that the reputation of the VPN could make a difference. To avoid the block you can probably connect to Wikipedia directly, without using the VPN. Since Wikipedia access is encrypted, it protects you against some of the same issues as a VPN would. EdJohnston (talk) 00:07, 14 March 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 Dark Eagle

API high limit requestors for DannyS712

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Done

Hi. I'd like to request global API high limit requestors rights. Since the documentation for this right is fairly brief, I'll explain what it does: it grants the user apihighlimits, which allows querying for more data at once via the api. I do a lot of queries via the api, both in the course of my normal editing and when troubleshooting my bots, and this will simply make things easier for me. The sole way it can be abused that I see (not posting per BEANS) does not apply to me. It is already included in the global sysops and global bots groups (among others) and generally bundled with sysop and bot access. It does not grant any extra editing powers or on-wiki functionality, but rather makes api queries easier by increasing the maximum batch size. I'm happy to answer any questions. Since there is no established policy that I could find regarding access to this right, there is no "not ending before ___" included at the top of this request, but it is not urgent. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 19:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DannyS712: What you need to run the API queries on? Can it be run on / via mediawiki where you are a sysop? If it's so sensitive per BEANS feel free to drop me an email. Regards,--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Eg querying lint errors or searching in ways that the GUI doesn't support. While I am a sysop on a few sites, as far as I know apihighlimits does not work cross-domain, so no, this cannot be done from those wikis to query others. (The BEANS think is a way to abuse the right, and it doesn't apply to me). Does this answer your question? --DannyS712 (talk) 10:20, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712: Oh okay, sort of get it. You are not considering a bot account for those queries? --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:21, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, since I don't need the rights for editing, and it doesn't make sense to switch accounts, make the query, and then switch back to my account to use the results. --DannyS712 (talk) 10:22, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Support Then. I guess will be temp access?--Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 10:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Um, this isn't a temporary use (I guess eventually I'll stop editing as much, but I don't plan on that being any time soon) - each query is only run a few times, but I was hoping for this to be permanent (I know, uncharted territory, no established policy, ... :( ) --DannyS712 (talk) 10:25, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global abuse filter helper for CptViraj

Status:    In progress

Hii, I'm active in dealing with spambots, I report them to SRG frequently. I use Special:AbuseLog to track them. There are some private spambot abuse filters on some wikis and some are global. With GAFH I will be able to see details of private abuselog. This is will definitely assist me in tracking spambots and reporting them to stews. Thankyou. -- CptViraj (📧) 08:51, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Even without this right you can still use Special:AbuseLog to track vandalism. Do you have any experience working with abuse filters? --DannyS712 (talk) 20:30, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes abuse filters track non-spambots, so with detailed log entry I can make sure that I'm reporting the correct account. I don't have any experience in managing abuse filters but GAFH doesn't have any right to modify filters, it just gives right to view private filters and private log entries. -- CptViraj (📧) 03:14, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
If the abuse filter didn't stop the edit, you can see the diff. So is this to track and report vandals that were not able to successfully save edits? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:15, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. -- CptViraj (📧) 03:20, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
