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 Streetdeck

Please use |text= instead of |1=!

Status:    Done
Not ending before 24 May 2020 10:58 UTC

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.

Global rollback for Naleksuh

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 29 May 2020 21:36 UTC

Hello, I am requesting Global Rollback as I currently reverting vandalism and LTAs across a string of multiple different wikis, and am currently a strong target for LTAs as the crafter of certain scripts and owner of LTA Wiki (private). See for example, this most recent attack on WikiSpecies, where I was being targetted and nothing to do but undo, until a steward later intervened. I would like to request global rollback to avoid requesting under every wiki and / or being a strong target in wikis I have never edited before. I do note the above of frowning on edit warring with LTAs in petty situations like talk pages, it's something I've done before but have stopped. I do believe in reverting without mercy in mainspace pages or any other high-traffic page (such as w:Project:Vandalism and such). Please consider this request carefully, and let me know if you have any questions. Naleksuh (talk) 21:36, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Oppose let me start off by saying that you for your counter-vandalism work. However, you registered your account in march of this year, and outside of the wikis where you have rollback, I see the following undos:
    • 1 on urwiki
    • a number of wikispecies, all on the same day for one vandal
    • three here on meta
    • 13 on enwiki
    Local rollback can be obtained on both enwiki and meta. In short, I'm not seeing a need for global rollback rights at this time. I suggest reapplying in the future after spending more time on cross-wiki counter vandalism. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 23:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Too little experience using revert xwiki for rollback at the moment. Please get more experience reverting across language barriers. Most successful candidates can demonstrate both a width of experience (across multiple projects, usually at least 20+) and depth (many reverts overall). – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:21, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: This is worded like an oppose, but your edit summary is "c" which stands for Comment. Can you clarify your view here? Naleksuh (talk) 23:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think my comment is very clear. These are consensus-building exercises, not straight votes, and I prefer to raise concerns without an oppose "vote" because I appreciate that you are a volunteer and offering to help out here. That said, I think you should get more experience before getting for these rights. Regards, – Ajraddatz (talk) 00:34, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thanks for clarifying. While I'm aware consensus is not the same as voting (if it was, then not putting Support Support or Oppose Oppose would void what you said entirely), however, your feedback has been appreciated. I am currently working into ways to expand into many different projects, both by editing them and by stuff I create covering any project. Naleksuh (talk) 01:11, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Not enough experience for a global permission. As was stated before, you have only been around for two and a half months. Also, edit warring on simple.wiki[1] was warned for it[2]. Although, you have stated that you have stopped edit warring and the referenced action has not been repeated. As for reverting LTAs and other blatant vandals on wikis where you do not have rollback, you could always use Twinkle's rollback feature. It's not as fast as regular rollback, but it is faster then undo. In short, WP:NOTQUITEYET. Don't let this discourage you from making a request in the future though. I have seen your antivandalism work, and while I am impressed, especially by your quick responses to LTA attacks, I just think you need more experience reverting vandalism across multiple wikis. 207.157.220.8 01:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose. I appreciate your work on simple and all, but I'm not seeing a satisfactory enough level of activity or experience for a global role quite yet. Hiàn (talk) 01:54, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Neutral Normally I would drive by strong support for global rollbacker request, but in this case, I'm seeing some convincing arguments by the opposes. If you really want to become a global rollbacker, just use Global Twinkle. 101 global rollbackers with it. Can I Log In (talk) 05:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Can I Log In: GR have more access than the Global TW and please don't drive by support for GR, this can be problematic at times although being a sunshine supporter isn't really bad. . Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:01, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's only one technical difference. Using Huggle on enwiki requiring generic rollback. That's it. GR and Global TW both can do rollback. What am I missing? Can I Log In (talk) 16:25, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
        • @Can I Log In: Not entirely true, GRs have supressredirect, markbotedits and other rights. Minor yes but the threshold of trust needs to be higher than generic TW Global as such rights if used incorrectly, although can be easily reverted, can cause disruption. I won't go through how each can be abused per BEANS. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:30, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well when you look deep, there's
            • View detailed abuse log entries (abusefilter-log-detail)
            • Not be affected by IP-based rate limits (autoconfirmed)
            • Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol)
            • Auto-review on rollback (autoreviewrestore)
            • Edit pages protected as "Allow only autoconfirmed users" (editsemiprotected)
            • Mark rolled-back edits as bot edits (markbotedits)
            • Move pages (move)
            • Move pages with stable versions (movestable)
            • Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit)
            • Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page (rollback)
            • Perform CAPTCHA-triggering actions without having to go through the CAPTCHA (skipcaptcha)
            • Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect)
          • So you pretty much become a global rollbacker AND (auto)confirmed user. And in addition, 5 non-rollback and (auto)confirmed user rights. The more you know. Can I Log In (talk) 16:45, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose not now--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 08:07, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose On simple they have had a propensity to revert war with editors. While removing vandalism is necessary, doing so 5+ times in a row seconds apart is not necessarily helpful, just step away and get an admin to help block the account. Revert warring in that manor just encourages them to continue. But really as most of the others have said the main issue is lack of x-wiki experience. -Djsasso (talk) 12:05, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
