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}}}} ===

|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.
Strong support Of course, active sysop in a large wiki. Per usual standards that any active sysop in large/medium wikis in good standing should be granted this right (or even bundled in their toolkit). They are active in SWMT and crosswiki, so no issues for them doing global queues either. Thanks for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Leaderboard For Global Renamers, the crosswiki experience I am looking for is slightly different from Global Rollbackers / Sysops. If the candidate is wanting the access for their homewiki, I am okay with 0 experience elsewhere. For candidate who wish to work on global queues or didn't indicate, I will want to look for some crosswiki experience, i.e. some experience with how global things works. They have tons of edits on enwp, over 200 plus on meta is enough for them to know somewhat how other wikis work in term of username policies and that is the "cross"-wiki experience I am looking for. Hope this explains. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:27, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Active user on some large wikis. There are some block what you done in accordance with the username policy on Commons. I have no reason for oppose. :) --Uncitoyentalk14:28, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, I would like to see a bit more cross wiki experience, but this is something user can learn "on the job". Good luck! Nadzik (talk) 16:57, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support, Trusted user wants to help so why not? I know they have little or no experience in this field but as Nadzik said "this is something user can learn on the job". I'm sure they won't break anything. Thanks for volunteering. -- CptViraj (talk) 08:09, 1 February 2021 (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.
Instructions for making a request
Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:

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.
Discussion: I live in China mainland and use proxy to access and edit Wikimedia Projects. Apart from Chinese Wikipedia, I also want to contribute on global projects such as Commons and Wikidata.The Wikipedia is blocked by the GFW ,so I need a global IP block exempt. Thanks.--Ewanma (talk) 02:35, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You may also consider asking for local permissions if needed, as the global one does not overide existing local blocks. RadiX∞16:56, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a short period of consideration. A steward will review the request.
So, basically the same rationale as Meta:RFA and Meta:Babel, but evidently the community does not think that limited adminship is the right role for me, and no consensus could be obtained for the other two. This leaves AFH as the only option. Please do not tell that I should be applying for Meta limited adminship (as I already did it), because in that case I'll be left with neither. Thanks in advance. --Leaderboard (talk) 08:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No issues. Yes I think this should be the best route. Anyway can someone verify the end date, there's an amendment for AFH to take 1 week, does it apply to this? Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:02, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
