Steward requests/Global permissions
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).

Global sysop for Savh
- Global user: Savh (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 5 March 2021 22:36 UTC
Hi, I'd like to re-apply to the Global Sysop group. I previously was one from July 2011 onwards, nearly ten years ago. I was later elected steward in 2014, and resigned from that position in 2017. The last couple of months I have been quite active again as a part of the SWMT (now using SWViewer), and I think having access to the Global Sysop toolset would be beneficial to intervene in certain situations without the need to call on others for deletions and blocks. As mentioned in my past requests, I'm bilingual Dutch & Spanish, and understand a few other Latin and Germanic languages. Aside from my global activities, I'm a sysop on the Spanish Wikipedia and on the Spanish Wikibooks. Savhñ 22:36, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Hello everyone. I would like to help users through renaming process especially users by Thai community. I understand that no global renamers who have Thai language skill at this time (see User talk:Geonuch#Renaming) and my home wiki (Thai Wikipedia) has a frequent problem that needs to request for changing username (such as, [1], [2], [3], [4], etc.). I'm active on many Thai Wikimedia projects and have sysop right on thwiki, thwikibooks, and thwikisource. I have understood global rename policy and hope that I will be of benefit of the community.

- @Super Wang Any updates on the local IPBE situation. I didn't see any zhwp IPBE granted.

- @Camouflaged Mirage: User has not reqested for local IPBE yet, maybe they don't know how to. I don't think it's unreasonable to grant them GIPBE either. As GIPBE doesn't make one immune of local IP block,
I'm suggesting them applying for a local IPBE flag additionally.--Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 11:43, 15 February 2021 (UTC)- Given that this user edited today, they don't seem to be affected by local IP blocks, I won't suggest local IPBE. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 11:45, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
- @Super Wang I will guess the local IPBE can be applied if there is a local block issue as they seems to suggest it's just a global block they need to exempt from. Will appreciate your help to guide the user on local situation, or I can leave them a message if needed but since you are on it, let me defer to you first. Thanks.

- @Camouflaged Mirage: I noted that this user uses Traditional Chinese, which indicates they are from HK, Macau or Taiwan (but they didn't disclose). I guess they don't need to bypass GFW, just need to evade global IP block, so GIPBE is enough. And yes, I've been enthusiastic about helping people for local IPBE, so I will help them apply for local IPBE flag in case they are in need. --Super Wang hates PC You hate, too? 11:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I'd like to request a renewal of my global-interface-editor permission.
