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).

Global rollback for Kostas20142
- Global user: Kostas20142 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 2 April 2020 22:09 UTC
I have been active (again) for the last few months in xwiki patrolling, and having this permission would be useful for me. I am a rollbacker in various projects and Wikidata sysop (since early march). I have read and understood the relevant policies. --Kostas20142 (talk) 22:09, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support Checking their contributions, there is more than sufficient activity, trustworthiness, and responsibility to grant the tool. Thank you for volunteering, Vermont (talk) 23:44, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support No concerns - contribs look good and their activity is consistent enough for the tool. Although recent, trusted admin on a larger project. ~riley (talk) 23:48, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Global rename for Phjtieudoc
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
- User: Phjtieudoc (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
- 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)
- 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)
- Oppose same as above. If the claim is that you’ll be using it to support one language group that’s great, but I would prefer to see
+sysop
on that project to show the trust of the local community. No familiarity with renames or naming policy on more than one project makes lake of sysop there a no-go from me. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:31, 21 March 2020 (UTC) - Support Per 1997kB. I think they should be okay despite not a sysop as they are quite active at local venue. We need vi renamers too. If they are clerking without good clue at the local venue, I think they will be prohibited long ago which they aren't so they are sort of okay.Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:25, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support cons : Not an admin, Pros : Language skill + Have experience as clerk.--AldnonymousBicara? 17:40, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support per 1997KB.--BRP ever 04:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support Not a local admin, but experience as a clerk. Contributions on the viwiki page look good. – Ajraddatz (talk) 20:46, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support, per above. —Sgd. Hasley 14:31, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support, even though I agree that you should try to get adminship. Leaderboard (talk) 05:55, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- Support I prefer prospective global renamers to be an administrator elsewhere, but I'm willing to make an exception this time as they have good experience as a clerk and giving them the tools will benefit Vietnamese Wikipedia. Jianhui67 talk★contribs 12:32, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I wish all the best for Wikipedia and every of is editors, even if I don't pass, I will continue to use Wikipedia and be thankful to everybody who made it possible.

Global abuse filter helper for CptViraj
- Global user: CptViraj (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- Yes. -- CptViraj (📧) 03:20, 19 March 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose not needed for the stated reasons. I’m uncomfortable giving access to global view rights for private filters on major projects solely for the purpose of tracking down spambots, which are easily identifiable on behaviour alone. Private logs on large wikis contain some sensitive data, and I really don’t see the need for you to have access to those. Sorry, nothing against you personally, but a basic principle of IT control is to limit access to people who have a need and I really don’t see this as a need. If we were talking about working with severely abusive LTAs, sure, but I don’t see this as particularly important to give for garden variety spambots. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:36, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose I'm with TonyBallioni on this one - only projects requester is really active on are enwiki (which has this available as a local group) and commonswiki where it is hard to research contributions as they appear to be editing as a high-speed unflagged bot. This isn't a very serious permission, but would want to see someone involved with edit filters on a content project first. — xaosflux Talk 14:00, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
