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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS
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 sysops policy.
Stewards
When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).
=== Global sysop 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|+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.

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

ADD Global IP block exempt for Marek Torba

Status:    Done

Hi, I would like to ask for an IP block exemption for the abovementioned user. As noted on his pl.wiki userpage, this is a staffer of a Polish museum (Wawel Royal Castle in Cracow), taking a part in the most recent GLAM partnership of Wikimedia Polska. The global IP block removal is vital for e.g. Commons work and upload. On behalf of the WMPL, aegis maelstrom δ 19:14, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Add Global IP block exempt for BrunoBoehmler

Status:    In progress

Ich bin viel mit VPN online und möchte auch ohne Probleme in Wikipedia editieren können, thanks, --BrunoBoehmler (talk) 18:29, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Question Why do you need to use a VPN with Wikipedia? --Martin Urbanec (talk) 13:14, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BrunoBoehmler, do you mind responding please? --Base (talk) 05:45, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have to use a VPN for Wikipedia, just for some other services. I don't always want to switch back and forth, that's all. Thank you in advance --BrunoBoehmler (talk) 15:30, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, I think turning it off and on is usually desired because this user right is mostly reserved for the people in the area where VPN is absolutely needed - like, in China (and Hong Kong) or Iran, you can be dragged into government torturing facility just because you "don't uphold the Government's truth". Or where the access to Wikipedia is blocked and you need a VPN to even read it (=China) — regards, Revi 15:55, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for LClightcat

Status:    Done

<Hello! I am a Chinese Wikipedia user LClightcat, because I live in mainland China, so I have to use agents to access and edit Wikipedia, but my agent will sometimes be banned. So, I hope I can get the whole domain IP block immunity.>，thank you, --LClightcat (talk) 13:43, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done Note this does not make you immune against local blocks - you would still need a local IPBE. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:59, 4 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for ColinPan1999

Status:    Withdrawn
