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.
Oppose. I don't see a reason, plus I am not seeing any of the cross-wiki experience that one needs for global rollback. You may want to get some experience joining the SWMT and reapplying later. Leaderboard (talk) 08:29, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @נריה קלר:, you do not need global rollback to "tour" the sites or perform basic antivandalism (the Undo tool is available). GR is normally for users who already have some experience in reverting cross-wiki vandalism. Leaderboard (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I know I do not have to, but it's more convenient. This permission can not be harmful (especially for a contributing user), and I ask that you change the vote. נריה קלר (talk) 15:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@נריה קלר: In practice, undo works well enough for reverting vandalism (as someone who does occasional crosswiki anti-vandalism). The community normally requests some experience in this field before requesting global rollback (which is the reason I haven't applied for it). If you want to take this route, SWMT is a helpful place to start. Leaderboard (talk) 15:41, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm already using it, but much more convenient that I can recover easily, because I before I restore the corruption I click on "difference", and then it is consumed. נריה קלר (talk) 15:47, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not a serious application without giving any rationale. Touring clearly isn't one. Being a sysop I think you will know that when we apply for something, clearly we need to give some reason except like say autopatrol which doesn't have much effect on editing. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@נריה קלר The issue here is that you do not have a track record. Vandalism in projects can take many forms, and we need to see a track record to be comfortable to grant such permission. I will suggest what Leaderboard said above and come back say 3-6 months later, and you will then be a good candidate. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:45, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712, I monitor all wiki sites, and this permission will help me. Although I did not monitor much, but later I intend to monitor more, and even if I have the permission I will be more comfortable. נריה קלר (talk) 15:41, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get discouraged by this but IMHO it would be great if you do patrol small wiki for few months and request for GR after some experience. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK. I've heard everything you told me, and I'm taking down the request. A few more months I will turn here again, and I will ask again. thank you for the detailed explanation! נריה קלר (talk) 15:50, 22 March 2021 (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.
Support Of course, meets my usual criterion that a medium/large size wiki sysop which is in good standing locally and is active should be granted the tools upon request (or even bundled), they are admin/crat at enwp, thanks for volunteering.

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.

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.
It would be helpful if I could edit again with my company notebook which seems to use the global IP range 163.116.178.0/24 and remarks 'no open proxies'. Thanks. --PeterZF (talk) 18:05, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My current IP address is 89.163.214.101 and the blocked range is 89.163.128.0/17, so I am unable to edit. I am able to edit this, through an alternate IP. It would be really helpful if a global IP block exemption can be granted. Thank you. 🔥शब्दशोधक🔥04:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
