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.
Hi everyone! I'm Streetdeck. I have been monitoring xwiki work by SWViewer for eight months. GR can make me do better and more easy to fight vandlism and long-term-abuse. I'm also a rollbacker in 4 wikiprojects. I think it's the time to requests for global rollback. And I have read the guidelines of global rollback. Regards, --WrightStreetdeck10:58, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Slightly weak one, while I see the index is a little high (0.76, I usually prefer 0.72) and the reverts are not that much, 76 projects with 1 revert or more, and 15 or so with 5 reverts or more is a little low. I will also note some of the reverts are done in edit warring with LTAs which isn't appropriate. There are a few projects that they can ask local rollback rights too. Having said that, I am confident that they will learn on the job and are trusted in several projects. I spot checked several projects and find their reverts accurate too. I will give a cautious support but will caution them to take this tool absolutely slowly as there can be some more subtle changes that seems vandalism but not vandalism. I also know them personally and find them a good Wikimedian in general, this is what lean me to support rather than neutral. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:18, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

:''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.
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.

I live in Chinese mainland, and cannot get access to Wikipedias without a proxy. I am mainly working on Chinese, Japanese & English Wikipedias, but I am often blocked. Thanks. --KONNOYumeto15:31, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I live in the Chinese mainland who can't establish a connection with the Wikimedia projects without a proxy server. I'm mainly working on Chinese Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimeta, but often blocked. Thanks. --AnYiLinTalk02:51, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
AnYiLin, Done, enjoy, but please note that you may still encounter local IP blocks, this flag will not protect against them and you will have to request local exemptions in such cases. --Base (talk) 03:19, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Due to Coronavirus Virus Pandemic, I'm facing problem using the Wikimedia and the recent Cyclone Amphan. so I have to access the Wikimedia through local cyber cafe or using the VPN. Due to the current scenario cyber cafe are not allowing to surf, And using the VPN it's says blocked. I'm worried I would have to leave Wikimedia, if not getting proper assistance.

Support while I do not see the right being heavily used, I still see more benefit in the user having them than not. --Base (talk) 05:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
