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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS
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 sysops policy.
Stewards
When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
To make a request

 |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|+2 week}} UTC''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (no exceptions are allowed 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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

Global IP block exempt for Symantec51

Status:    In progress

Hi, while logging in from a university network, I encountered the following message - " Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis. The block was made by Vituzzu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is hosting service with open proxies such as 23.239.22.58. Start of block: 30 Oktober 2017 19.39 Expiry of block: 30 Oktober 2022 19.39 Your current IP address is 23.239.18.33 and the blocked range is 23.239.0.0/19. Please include all above details in any queries you make." Can you please provide IP-block exemption? Thanks for read my request, --Symantec51 (talk) 05:02, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

23.239.18.33 doesn't really seem to be part of university network - this IP address is assigned to Linode, a company that provides cloud for developers. Could you contact your university IT departament, please? They can email stewards@wikimedia.org with any questions or explanations. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:18, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for suggestion Martin, but need more time for take a process, I already inform that. Also I often attempt to edit using public WiFi on library or canteen, but find these IPs to be globally blocked quite frequently. I have also had the same problem on other operators. Not really a massive issue, but would be convenient to be able to edit from these networks. It will be great if I have a exemption, so I will be fine to edit wikipedia easily. Thanks for attention, please consider. Symantec51 (talk) 04:15, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Wleightond, 154.70.153.206

Status:    In progress

I'm not sure why I've been blocked... maybe my ISP has a weird NAT setup, 'cause I've been unable to edit ever since I've switched to them. I'm logged in on Wikipedia as Wleightond but can't log in here, so I think the signature may only show my IP. I can't reset my password because of this block, but in any case, when I try to edit a page on Wikipedia (while logged in), this is the error I'm getting:

Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis. The block was made by Jon Kolbert (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open Proxy: :Colocation webhost - Request an exemption if you are affected.
Start of block: 04:44, 28 February 2020
Expiry of block: 04:44, 28 February 2021
Your current IP address is 154.70.153.206 and the blocked range is 154.70.153.0/24.

Global abuse filter maintainer for Xaosflux

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

Global interface editor for Joanmp14

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Not done
Not ending before 10 April 2020 00:53 UTC

Hello everyone, I am requesting this permission in order to improve the Wikipedia [1] and Wiktionary [2] interfaces in the Tigrinya language and I want to help these wikiprojects prosper and be more recognized for their respective speakers. I have created the localized Wikipedia [3] and Wiktionary [4] logos for this language and would like to make them public, I also plan to create more logos for this language for other Wikimedia projects in the future. I have experience and knowledge with the CSS mechanism. Thanks, --Joanmp14 (talk) 00:53, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Joanmp14: I think you are looking for m:SRP where I moved your request. Given you only need it for two wikis, I would recommend you make to individual requests for the two wikis you wish them for. I already filed your ti.wikipedia request for you. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 23:57, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Renew global interface editor for Krenair

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 14 April 2020 19:39 UTC

I'd like to extend this original request (followed by this renewal and this renewal and probably another couple of renewals I've lost track of) for another year (or longer) please. I am a long-standing member of the wikimedia technical community, I have +2 rights on mediawiki/* in Gerrit, I'm a Cloud VPS/Toolforge global root, I'm an OTRS agent, a MediaWiki.org admin/bureaucrat, and have probably a few other important permissions that I use with care. One change I remember making in recent months with these rights (that I'll mention specifically due to its nature as a security fix) was covered in phab:T241950. --Krenair (talk • contribs) 19:39, 9 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
