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}}}} ===

 |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.

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]

Abusefilter helper for Abusefilter global search service account

Status:    In progress

Hello everyone! I'm currently developing a tool for AbuseFilter developers, to make it easier to query all Wikimedia abuse filters. This is useful, because it allows to fix filters that would be affected by a breaking change in AF's code. The tool will be available at https://search-filters.toolforge.org. Because fetching all filters takes about ten minutes, I'm caching all filters in the tool's database, which makes all searches to run smoothly. To avoid putting any credentials for my steward account at toolforge, I want to use this service account instead. This account will only fetch all abuse filters to a database, and then the tool can run queries over it.

Thanks, Martin Urbanec writing via --Abusefilter global search service account (talk) 21:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I confirm this is my account. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Seems reasonable, basically a bot account and assuming that continuing access would require that the operator continues to have or exceed the access of the account I support this. — xaosflux Talk 21:22, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Xaosflux: for the record, the intent is to use the tool to expose the results via toolforge to users other than the operator --DannyS712 (talk) 21:44, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    That's right. Note the tool isn't available to anyone who doesn't have abusefilter-view and abusefilter-view-private across all wikis (right now, stewards, global AF helpers, and global AF maintainers). --Martin Urbanec (talk) 21:55, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support This tool brings a huge improvement to the process used to find filters that are going to be affected by backend changes. As such, I believe that it should always be in condition to operate quickly, efficiently, and without hacks (like Martin using his personal account). --Daimona Eaytoy (talk) 23:12, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
