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 Nadzik

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 7 September 2020 07:21 UTC

Hi! I would like to apply for Global rollback flag. I've spent last few months as a member of the SWMT, monitoring small wikis and undoing spam and vandalism. Now that the summer has ended, I will start using SWViewer again in my work. I've been active in cross-wiki monitoring work for some time and already posses a rollback flag on some projects. GR flag would be a great help to me. --Nadzik (talk) 07:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 |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.

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for Superpes15

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 17 September 2020 16:57 UTC

Hi everyone, I'm Superpes15, I'm a rollbacker on wikidata and a sysop on it.wiki. I'm also a x-wiki patroller. As a patroller and administrator I have often dealt with users with inappropriate usernames. I've read several policies on inappropriate usernames and I think the itwiki policy is one of the most rigid (but effective against vandalism). I've read and understood the global rename policy and the global renamers policy and I think (and hope) that I can help out with renaming. Obviously, in case of doubt, I would always turn to the most experienced. Thanks for your comments and for attention. --Superpes15 (talk) 16:57, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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

Global IP block exempt for WangZhongXu1998

Status:    Done

I'm in mainland China, I would like to edit wikimedia project like wikipedia, wikinews, wikimedia commons, etc. via VPN, thank you--WangZhongXu1998 (talk) 17:06, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question Question: Can you access WM Commons and WP without VPN? If that is the case you can withdraw your request. PythonSwarm (talk) 23:56, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I can not access Wikipedia, Chinese Wikiquote and Wikimedia Commons without VPN. I'm using self-build VPN on Vultr VPS.
2001:19F0:7000:0:0:0:0:0/37‬, you have been blocked by ‪Martin Urbanec‬ until 17:47, 29 April 2023, because: No open proxy: email stewards@wikimedia.org should you be affected.

2401:C080:1C00:0:0:0:0:0/38‬, you have been blocked by ‪Martin Urbanec‬ until 11:39, 13 July 2023, because: Open proxy.

Support Support so he can access what he needs (: --Cocopuff2018 (talk) 01:26, 31 August 2020 (UTC) Support Support can still convert to oppose due to different comment.Tbiw (talk) 21:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done. WangZhongXu1998, please note that you might still encounter local IP blocks and you will have to ask for local IP block exemptions to override those. --Base (talk) 23:27, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for freehehe

Status:    Done

good day！i come from china,i want edit wikisource,but my ip is block.thank you—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Freehehe (talk)

Done. Freehehe, keep in mind that if you encounter local IP block somewhere you will have to ask for a local IPBE in addition to the global one. --Base (talk) 23:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

remove GIPBE for Percy TIAN

Status:    Done

Account was locked as comprised. It's over 6 months, no recovery yet. -- CptViraj (talk) 03:55, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Ruslik (talk) 20:26, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

remove GIPBE for Daniolitheone

Status:    Done

User indef blocked on Spanish Wikipedia as Vandalism-only account. -- CptViraj (talk) 06:23, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done, enwiki contribs also seem questionable to me, so looks like a valid case to remove. --Base (talk) 07:32, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for 慎言慎行老法师

Status:    In progress

I'm a mainland Chinese. I can only use Wikipedia through VPN. I feel sorry for my improper behavior i've just done in sco. I did so after hearing the recent funny news.I won't do such kind things again. I need gipbe, so that I can contribute in all kind of Chinese sites,including source,quote,etc.It would be too cumbersome to request for ipbe in all sites seperately. Please forgive me.--not a user:慎言慎行老法师寫維基？寫個屁！ 09:29, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I feel unease about this request and recommend against granting it, at least for now. Actions have consequences. You should've though of them before vandalizing a wiki in the middle of a crisis. Funny news? Certainly not. Feel free to request local IPBEs in the wikis you contribute the most (Disclosure: I was the steward that removed GIPBE so I don't think I should be deciding this). —MarcoAurelio (talk) 14:31, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2FA Tester for Poomrat.b

Status:    In progress

2FA is the standard security practice and I'm trying to enable one everywhere I can.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Poomrat.b (talk)
