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.

=== Global sysop for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===

|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.
I was once a global sysop for a while but resigned due to lack of availability. Now, I return and request the tools again because they are very useful in my work here. The reasons can be found in my first request. Open to questions and thank you for your attention. Rafael(stanglavine) msg18:12, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Welcome back, GR/GS might be (as permissions of some risk) better to be turned in when inactive with the proviso that should they be coming back, it will not be too hard to regain unless the resignation is under a cloud. No issues with me, thanks for volunteering again. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support It is good, that you decided to resign for the period of your inactivity. I do not see a reason why you should not be granted this flag. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 15:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per the usual standard that I use, if we can have some help from the sysop blocking the account to rename, why not. Which is why I am supportive of these perms to be bundled into +sysop toolkit for large wiki sysops (like en, ar, and in this case zh). Just to note that there are around 3 sysops at zh having the permission of GRename, so there shouldn't be a backlog for zh requests (and a few other renamers who understand zh). So what I hope is that these users can be more active (one of the last time we have a GR who got their rights removed for inactivity and then asked for it back, okay they are yet quite inactive). This is not a commentary based on anyone, but the belief that anyone asking for rights should be expected to use those rights (rights are not hats etc).

I'm very sorry to parallel this request, which is somewhat nonsense and inappropriate at this time, with another request from my wonderful colleague here. And I know it's only around 2 weeks since my GRo. But, honestly, I should have posted my application days ago, but I saw active Sotiale on our rename request page, hence the postponement. However, I think I need stand out and request to help local rename request, as well as for cross-wiki. I have comprehended the policys above and I consider I can handle the permission. Regards, Hamish07:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Seeing what I mentioned recently, it makes me feel like a celebrity? :P I've been processing requests on zhwiki with my poor Chinese skills, but sometimes when I receive a request from a blocked user, I thought it would be better if someone familiar with local policy would handle. I have received Hamish's rename request and processed the request several times, and I think Hamish will be able to perform the rename requests smoothly for zh community. --Sotiale (talk) 13:50, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support I'm not concerned about getting the global rollback flag recently, as its scope isn't related to the global renamer flag. Esteban16 (talk) 01:31, 4 June 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.
