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 Jan Myšák

Status:    Done
Not ending before 7 April 2021 13:33 UTC

Hi, this is my second request for GR rights, three months after my previous one was deemed premature. I am an active member of the SWMT and revert cross-wiki vandalism using SWViewer. I patrol on larger projects too, namely cswiki (sysop), wikidata (rollbacker) and enwiki (Twinkle user).

Best, --Jan Myšák (talk) 13:33, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support Support Clearly learned from the feedback of the first request, which is nice to see. I have seen many examples of his anti-vandalism efforts at my homewikis. The edit matrix is also OK to me, and I think he is good to go this time. Leaderboard (talk) 15:15, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would gladly Support Support Jan Myšák, who has been a very helpful wikimedian looking after various wikis, reverting spam or requesting deletion of spam.

2FA Tester for Curb Safe Charmer

Status:    Done

I received an email today from WMF saying that there had been multiple failed attempts to log in to my account from a new device, so I thought I should set up 2FA as an extra layer of protection on top of having a strong password. I've read the help, and I use 2FA extensively on most of my other online accounts. --Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 14:27, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
