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 rename for Ulubatli Hasan

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 20 September 2021 02:43 UTC

Hello everybody. I'd like to request global rename permission to assist rename request and my main focus would be urwiki where I'm serving as a eliminator since september 2020 (voting). I've been assisting admins since I became eliminator on ur wiki and saving pages from vandalism. I'm requesting this flag because there is no global renamer on ur wiki that's why we often face issues and had directed users to request on meta for renaming. Thank you... Hasan (talk) 02:43, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(Edit: Per below clarification, I will Oppose Oppose this as the lack of sysop rights on a content project. The reason I'm opposing because of lack of sysop rights is because if they have all the rights of an admin, why aren't they an admin yet? SHB2000 (talk | contibs))
I suppose this is a group which allows for actions related to page deletion, but not other admin permissions. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SHB2000 I think Eliminator gives every admin task except giving rights to users and renaming. I have deleted/undeleted, protected/unprotected, blocked/unblocked. It also allows user (who has this flag) to edit protected pages on admin level or protect pages on admin level. Hasan (talk) 15:38, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Giving rights to users is for bureaucrats (but some rights can be given by admins) and renaming users is only for global renamers. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 22:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Camouflaged Mirage, I didn't know that. Before making request I checked every admins global flag but I didn't find anyone who has global renamer user group. Could you please name him? Thanks Hasan (talk) 08:12, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ulubatli Hasan Hello, what I mean is that there is already a renamer who claims they can understand ur per this list and is there any big backlogs coming from ur which the global queue system is unable to clear. I am all for someone who have unique language skills, but my thinking is that is there a need for one more user holding a flag if the load isn't that high in the first place? Just my thoughts. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:51, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage I'm thinking the same too. If Ulubatli Hasan is trusted enough with the tools of a sysop kit, then why are they not a sysop? It's something that has got me concerned that we're missing something here. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 09:39, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SHB2000 I've not applied adminship because of previous two nominations (first and second) where users (mostly admins) have rejected both nominations saying that there is no need for more admins... Hasan (talk) 13:34, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There shouldn't be such restrictions for admins. Only 'crats. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 22:48, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And on your second adminship nom, google translate gives me: The user does not currently meet admin standards. . That's a clear no. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 22:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@SHB2000: You are misunderstanding I think, the nomination they linked are of different users and I think they meant to say that as those two other user got no support from current admins, it implied to them that there's no need for more admins, so they never applied. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 05:30, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose When a user is not a sysop, I personally look if the user is helping in renaming related areas but it looks like they have no experience in such areas, so I am hesitant if they know how the renaming works. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:43, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support -Maffeth.opiana (talk) 14:56, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support These eliminator rights contain the key admin tools: block, protect and delete. Quite a few global renamers rename users who may need a rename after a block. The other tools involved in the admin toolkit (abuse filter, user rights etc.) aren't as relevant to what a global renamer actually does. So whilst Ulubatli Hasan doesn't have "sysop" rights, and therefore may not fulfill some people's criteria, the experience in other sysop areas is not/not as relevant to the global renamer rights, so I am supporting. --Ferien (talk) 19:33, 10 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Sojol Rana

Status:    In progress

Hi, I'm from Bangladesh. I regularly contribute BN wiki, EN wiki, Wikidata, and Commons. Internet Archive is blocked by the government in our country, which I use to add references to an article. So that I use VPN to access the Internet Archive to contribute on Wikis. Sometimes I also use public wifi to contribute on Wikis and I found both of these two (VPN, public wifi) are blocked on Wikis. So I need this permission to contribute on Wikis, thanks
