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.
Hello everyone! I would like request for global rollback permission. I'm a member of SWMT and I'm using SWViewer. Since I started using this tool I was made over 1000 actions. GR right would be help me to revert vandalism, spam or unconstructive edits. Rzuwig►07:56, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

=== Global sysop for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===

:''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.
Hi. I wanted to request the global sysop rights a couple of weeks from now rather than at this time in order to fully ensure that I will be active from now on - but upon urges from some well-established colleagues, this and this, I've came to the conclusion that it is better for me to request my global sysop rights back. There is simply a lot of cleanup that needs to be done in a lot of wikis that I would love to help out in. I've also thought carefully about my activity and I can assure all of my fellow editors that I've officially returned back to standard activity. I hereby request the community's trust again for the global sysop toolkit. Thanks! —Atcovi(Talk - Contribs)02:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support · Trusted, they were a GS before and are surely doing good work currently. But I feel you should have waited atleast two-three weeks after getting GR. -- CptViraj (talk) 04:22, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support Why wait for 2-3 weeks where they are already trusted, and they voluntarily give up their tool. If we are to convince people to do so rather than hang on to their tools by doing the bare minimum (and inflate the number of rights owners), we need to make the getting back of the tools easy. I will think something like voluntarily giving up can be given back within a couple of months per a simple request not a vote will be good, but my 2 cents only. It will be much different if someone was to be removed for inactivity and coming back immediately to ask back the tools, that's not too good. Thanks for volunteering.Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:19, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support as one of those colleagues suggesting requesting the rights back now, and as Camouflaged Mirage explains timing isn't a concern --DannyS712 (talk) 19:04, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking about requesting this for some time already, but I chose to wait for a bit more to make sure I am able to maintain a decent activity level. I have been global sysop 2 times before (see the chart on the Global sysop page). Both times I gave them up voluntarily due to time constraints. Back then time management was a problem for me, but that's something I have worked on these past years. In regards to activity you can frequently find my name on the Global sysops/Requests page. As also mentioned in Atcovi request for global sysop, there is a lot of work that falls on the shoulders on the global sysops, especially considering the diminishing number of global sysops that are active recently. I would like to help wherever I can to keep the projects a nice place without the spam and vandalism. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer them. Kind regards, Wiki13(talk)15:50, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support No issues too, relatively active in meta after getting the mops. We do need to make regaining rights easier to encourage people to give up voluntarily to reduce security risk and other issues. Thanks for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 16:11, 4 November 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.
