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 Kostas20142

Status:    In progress
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)[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 User:W dvd

I haven't edited many articles and have gotten an edit wrong, I like editing the simple english Wikipedia and hope to cite things.

As you only contribute to Chinese Wikipedia, you'd better to apply for a local IP exemption. Ruslik (talk) 20:55, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, emailing unblock-zh(_AT_)lists.wikimedia.org is the right way to apply for that. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 15:13, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I've granted IPBE flag to the candidate based on local policy, but whether the request here should be closed is up to the steward.--Hamish 19:20, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eu necessito de uma isenção de bloqueio IP para editar sem interrupção através do bloco de faixa IP, pois estou sendo afetado por um bloco IP que me impede de editar com minha conta de login.

I'd like to use a VPN to contribute to WMF projects (for privacy reasons), and one of the IPs I will be mainly using falls in this blocked range.

Global abuse filter helper for CptViraj

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

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]
Granted This request has been received for about a week more than usual. As a result, there are valid concerns, and there is rough consensus for granting. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sotiale (talk) 11:43, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
