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}}}} ===

|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|+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.
Since starting on Wikipedia I've always valued the hard work the Wikipedians with certain permissions do. I've been striving for this goal for the past month in hope that I may one day, reach the point of becoming a bureaucrat, and I believe it starts today. I believe I should have these rights as it is a step forward in the process of becoming a respected member of the community. I will put hard work into the process, and taking breaks when needed. I will hold myself accountable for my actions and become a valued aspect of the community. Thank you, Go-Tsumaroki (talk) 22:51, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose Most of your contributions were in early days. The number of contributions on your user pages is around 150. The total contributions on your home wiki are 774 for now. The last 500 contributions have been made almost in the last 1 week. I can't see that you understand the rules (especially: username policy) from your contributions for now. It's too early for global renamer. --Uncitoyentalk23:19, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose outside of this request on meta and deleted images on commons, only 776 edits made, all on enwiki. I've been striving for this goal for the past month in hope that I may one day, reach the point of becoming a bureaucrat, and I believe it starts today. I believe I should have these rights as it is a step forward in the process of becoming a respected member of the community. - this is hat collecting. --DannyS712 (talk) 23:28, 24 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose, sorry but your comment makes it seem like your goal on Wikipedia is to gain different permissions. You lack edits on which I could base my judgment, you also lack cross-wiki experience. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 10:50, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In case it isn't clear, Wikimedia projects have a very different culture than most workplaces. Striving to get the biggest hats (userrights) is often looked down upon, and for good reason. We're here to collate and curate free knowledge, not improve personal standing. Rights are given to people whose work requires it, and who are trusted by their community with those userrights. It isn't a form of promotion or path to an ultimate end, other than the ultimate end of the sum of all human knowledge. Regards, Vermont (talk) 10:56, 25 September 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.

The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.
Hello. War (2020 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict) broke out in the area where I lived, and the Internet began to be restricted. I use a forced VPN. Thank you.--Turkmentalk22:36, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
