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 Gumruch

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 6 April 2020 18:11 UTC

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. Hasley 18:32, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose 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]
  • Oppose Oppose NOTNOW. Good intention but way too early. We need to know that candidates know what vandalism in other languages they don't speak or read looks like and the only way is a track record where we can see your reverts in many other wikis. I know you are easily trusted, a mid size wiki sysop (we had a recent elected an excellent steward coming from your wiki) as well as multiple rights. I will say now is the demonstrated need component that needs to be shown. I will hope you are not discouraged and take some time doing actual reverts and come apply say in a month or two, and I will be happy to support then.Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 06:51, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose, I was about to give weak support because this user is a prolific crosswiki editor, then I check this user edit on 6 wiki, most of them are just gnome stuff, this user never have the experience reverting edits on language he doesn't know. Nor have the experience identifying subtle vandalism (article modification and creation) done on many language that done by LTA/Crosswiki spammer, nor have the experience reverting semi legit spam in many language.--AldnonymousBicara? 00:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Gwarp

Status:    In progress

Im currently using a proxy service to circumvent local internet censorship, it consists many servers spread on a list of cloud computing providers, including the one im currently using which is based on microsoft's azure cluster. the local authority regularly blocks foreign IPs that they think might be used as proxy servers, therefore these services generally provide many servers instead of a static one in case such event, which will be a major inconvenience. if you may, i would like to request an examption, thanks --Gwarp (talk) 21:58, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Qiyue2001

Status:    Already done

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]

@Qiyue2001: you already have GIPBE. However, as the flag doesn't exempt you from local blocks, you may need to contact a local sysop of the project you are trying to edit so they can grant you a local flag. —Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 16:27, 1 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global interface editor for ~riley

Status:    In progress
  • Global user: ~riley (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
  • Discussion: Hi all, in the last week I have been working on fixing hardcoded Mediawiki:Sidebars on projects that fall within the GS set (Ex. 1, Ex. 2, Ex. 3). I have fixed dozens of harcoded sidebars so far but there are more to be fixed on wikis outside of the GS set with some of the initial changes being made over 10 years ago. Updating these hardcoded sidebars allow users to read the sidebar in the language set in their user preferences rather than in the wiki's native language. Additionally, I have been doing translations of non-standard items so that English users can still read the sidebar to find resources such as the community noticeboard/forum. I meet the global user page requirements and have 2FA enabled. I don't plan to use these permissions for anything else. I have experience with interface-editor as part of the GS skillset and being an interface admin on Commons. ~riley (talk) 08:03, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global abuse filter maintainer for Xaosflux

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 11 April 2020 00:41 UTC

Hello all, now that Abuse filter maintainer has gone live following the recent vote, I'm throwing my hat in the ring. I've been an abuse filter editor on enwiki for many years, and have also been active here. I'm currently a global abuse filter helper and have used this to help consult with filters on other projects. It would be easier to be able to directly assist other projects on request (such as this request from sqwiki this week). While I do not enter code changes, I am active on phab regarding discussions in this area. I have 2FA enabled, and have identified to the foundation already. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your consideration. — xaosflux Talk 00:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
