This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Krd(talk | contribs) at 15:15, 15 August 2021(requesting removal of global VRT permissions agents flag for KRLS). It may differ significantly from the current version.
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}}}} ===
{{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|+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.
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.
Similar to the request about User:Zbobai above—they both mostly want to contribute new content in the Tyap language in the Incubator, and also content about their culture to Commons, English Wikipedia, and Wikidata, hence they need a global exemption and not something in a particular wiki. He cannot do it because his IP range is blocked, but he's not the vandal. He cannot make the request himself because he's blocked. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 08:04, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Amire80: Hello. May I know why their IP range is blocked? If it is an open proxy or VPN, please explain why they should use it as well(eg. certain countries restrict access to Wikipedia). --Sotiale (talk) 09:58, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have created my Wikipedia account a few minutes ago and would like to harden it with multi-factor authentication before I forget, thanks, --0x2b3bfa0 (talk) 16:42, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to possess 2FA permissions as I prefer to use it with any account that I can. I am primarily a user of the English Wikipedia. I have read the associated help page regarding 2FA. Notably, I understand that my account will be inaccessible if I lose access to the device and the scratch codes, and that 2FA for Wikimedia is still in testing. I am unaware of this may be an issue, but to make the life of a steward easier if it is, I have an active local usurpation request on the English Wikipedia. Thank you for your time! --Sirdog9002 (talk) 02:03, 15 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

=== <Add requested permission here> for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request

}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~
The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a short period of consideration. A steward will review the request.
Discussion: Hi, I already had this permission five times or more, but it was always automatically removed after some time, I would like to have it again, because it helps me maintain Huggle and its configuration pages and templates, which are all over Wikimedia projects, and often protected, thanks.
