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.

:''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.

Global rename for rubin16

Status:    Done
Not ending before 13 June 2021 08:51 UTC

I used to be a global renamer before in 2014-2018 and quite an active one (Global renamers/Stats). Before that I was a 'crat in ru.wiki (since 2010). I am familiar with the tool and want to help with processing the queue. I had a long wiki-break in 2017-2020, now I am back and want to contribute again. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rubin16 (talk) 08:52, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global interface editor for Matma Rex

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 12 June 2021 22:17 UTC

My permissions expired (again), but I would still find them useful (still), for example to fix phab:T281488. Previously requested here: [1]. By the way, this is the fifth time I'm requesting this permission. Matma Rex (talk) 22:17, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Leaderboard You might find it bureaucracy, but it is only following community-estabilished policies. The GIE policy clearly states GIE is supposed to be temporary permission (for "any period up to a year"). If you want to change that, I suggest you to start a RfC. Thanks. Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:38, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: As I read GIE, it says "by default"; does it not mean that stewards have the discretion to give indefinite rights if needed? Additionally, note "A longer appointment may be requested by long-term interface editors after several successful renewals". Leaderboard (talk) 06:39, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
