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 Eihel

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Done

Hello Community, Vandals and spams hunting is on my Wikimedia schedule and I am a member of SWMT. Global rollback would be useful to me for that. I understand the global rollback policy. Already having this right on a few other projects, I intend to continue patrolling with serenity. Cordially. —Eihel (talk) 16:53, 2 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Minorax

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 9 December 2020 01:33 UTC
Hi all, I’m Minorax. I was asked by several users to consider nominating myself for this. I’d like to request for the GS toolkit to help the current team in fighting spambots/vandals/LTAs. I’m a global rollbacker and a sysop on some projects so I believe that I’m able to act appropriately when needed. I’m not perfect but I am willing to learn and will ask others whenever I’m in doubt. Thank you. Minorax (talk) 01:33, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

We currently have a backlog on de.wiki and I would like to help. I'm a user since 2006 and also sysop for several years now on de-wiki. I'm also a member of OTRS. - Squasher (talk) 19:48, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Support even though you have a bad edit matrix, since the reason looks credible. Leaderboard (talk) 21:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support. A long time de.wiki contributor and a sysop on that project. I would like to see a bit more cross-wiki experience, but that can always be gained and should not decide such candidacy. Nadzik (talk) 11:15, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support Strong support What exactly have edit matrix had to do with Global Renamer, they just have to know their local username policy properly that's it, being a sysop proven the point that they are trusted. With the current norms that rename requests should be dealt with by locals, and there is backlog, the reason is obviously credible and valid. There is 0 need for crosswiki experience for GR unless they state they wanted to work for global queues, which they didn't. We should be glad for someone willing to take up the role and is somewhat active on their local project. Thanks for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:28, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support per CM. Sgd. —Hasley 12:44, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong support Strong support Squasher is a trusted user on dewiki. There are 7-8 global renamers that they have good German language knowledge. In the last 1-2 months, only 2 of them seem to be active. Others may be busy in real life. That's why our global renamers who speak no German have been closing for dewiki requests recently. Perhaps there are points where we can make wrong when job with German operations because we do not know this language/some rules of dewiki. German Wikipedia is one of the biggest Wikipedia, therefore we need experienced users for global renamers. --Uncitoyentalk 10:06, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
