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).
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
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.
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]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Support good cross-wiki work. Hat collecting is, as usual, a non-issue for me since global rollback causes incredibly little harm when unused. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:33, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I have a global account since 2008. I am a sysop on cs-wiki and regular cross-wiki contributor flagged with editor/autopatrolled/autoreview rights on 11 other wikis. Global rollback would be usefull for me as I usually check global contributions of local vandal IPs. I have read and understood the rollback rules. Thank you. Gumruch (talk) 18:11, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
GUC doesn't show a big recent cross-wiki activity. Most global contributions are not related to xwiki patrol. Could you please give me some examples? —Sgd.Hasley18:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose In the last six months, I count less than 5 reverts outside of your home wiki. Global rollback is for users "who make heavy use of revert on many wikis"; your request rationale reads that you are requesting the right to help you revert global edits on the off-chance a local vandal has also vandalized elsewhere. While your work is appreciated, undo or user scripts are sufficent in this case. ~riley(talk)18:33, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 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.
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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. Jianhui67talk★contribs12:32, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewardswikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.
Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.
If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see this instruction to request a local IP block exemption.

A proxy is needed to edit any wikimedia-affiliated wikis in PRC due to the cencorship. I have had IPBE on zhwiki years ago, and now I would request a global permission to edit on other wikis, thanks, --Qiyue2001 (talk) 10:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion: Hi, I had this permission four times or more, but it was always automatically removed after some time, I would like to have it again, because it helps me maintain Huggle and its configuration pages and templates, which are all over Wikimedia projects, and often protected, thanks.

Support doesn't look like the rights are used much (examples might be nice!), but for the primary maintainer of a massively used program I'm comfortable with giving this access for the few times when it is needed. – Ajraddatz (talk) 15:42, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Long pattern of hat collecting that results in minor to no usage of such roles once obtained. Nihlus 16:44, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
