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 DutchTina

Status:    Done
Not ending before 26 June 2020 16:26 UTC

I can't use SWViewer anymore since I don't have rollback anymore because I quit being a sysop at my former homewiki. I was planning to do some xwiki patrolling again today (and in the future) but this error showed up. I would love to spent my vacation being useful against xwiki vandalism again. :) DutchTina (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Samuele2002

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 30 June 2020 21:07 UTC

Hello everyone I'm Samuele2002 I'm global rollbacker since 2017 and I'm very active in the fight against vandalism and cross-wiki spam. I am requesting global sysop permissions to help deal more effectively with vandalism and spam on small wikis, to help small wikis without local admin and to give help in the management of requests on GSR [1]. Thanks. --Samuele2002 (Talk!) 21:07, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for Nadzik

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 8 July 2020 11:51 UTC

Hi! I would like to request global renamer permissions. I am an active editor on pl.wikipedia and Wikidata. Recently I've started editing af.wikipedia and joined Small Wiki Monitoring Team. I've read and learned the Global rename policy, I've also read the past requests (both accepted and rejected), in order to familiarize myself with the type of job I would be responsible for. For the moment there is only one polish speaking Global renamer and due to her duties, she has not been active in the last few months. Due to a large number of GLAM accounts on pl.wiki I would also be able to help them locally, as they are usually not experienced users and the thought of META is usually overwhelming for them. I could handle the rename requests as the summer just started and I've got some more free time. I will resign these permissions when they are no longer needed or when I won't be able to use them actively. I hope that my intentions are clear, I would be happy to answer any questions if necessary. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 11:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global abuse filter helper for ZI Jony

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Status:    Withdrawn

I'm active on several Wikimedia projects. I'd like to request GAFH to view private filters and private log entries. This will allow me to view details of private abuselog, and will assist me in tracking vandals/spam and reporting them. Thanks! -- Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 16:59, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Eh...your reason for requesting the userright would appear to be circular. In what manner will the ability to access private abuse filters assist your anti-spam capabilities, and why is whatever increase in information you would obtain worth surrendering to you the unadulaterated knowledge of every targeted vandalism/spam filter on all public projects? Best, Vermont (talk) 17:18, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Vermont, thanks for asking. When I'm dealing abuse and spam I use Special:AbuseLog and report to wiki sysops and/or SRG. There are some private abuse filters on the some wikis and some are global. Sometimes abuse filter didn't stop the edit, that I can see the diff amd report them. Abuse filters with detailed log entry can make sure that I'm reporting for action the account is correct. Thanks! Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 19:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Your message neglects to address any substance of my concerns and your penultimate sentence is nearly completely unintelligibe. From what you have written, the most I can gather is you seemingly hold the belief that this userright will help you to pursue antivandalism more efficiently; I contest this notion, as the only result will be you being able to view private filters, a change with no effect on the typical antivandalism workflow regardless of project or style. Such filters do not hide edits, and rather hide what triggers them, usually for amply good reason. As such, I Oppose Oppose granting you this userright. Vermont (talk) 03:22, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Yet another feather for the hat. I see no demonstrated need for this nor that the user has any trusted rights on any project. filters are rather sensitive and they often contain an amount of PII and I would oppose anyone receiving this right without having adequate (demonstrated) trust from the community. Praxidicae (talk) 18:10, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Praxidicae, you know that GAFH doesn't have any right to modify filters, it just gives right to view private filters and private log entries. What do you mean by "adequate trust from the community"? Thanks! Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 19:33, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose. Praxidicae has a great point here: some filters contain some amounts of PII, and, as such, users with this right need to be very trusted by the community, which, unfortunately, is not your case. Also, per Vermont, being able to view the filters will change nothing in your antivandalism efforts. —Thanks for the fish! talk•contribs 03:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Request withdrawn as suggested above, will gain more trust to re-apply. Thanks! Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 05:57, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
