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 Ferien

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 4 October 2021 16:01 UTC

Hello everyone. I have been active in SWMT work, reverting in about 150 different wikis, mainly using SWViewer. I have experience with rollback on a few wikis: English Wikipedia, Simple English Wikipedia and Simple Wiktionary. I am requesting global rollback as it would make reverting cross-wiki vandalism easier. Thank you! --Ferien (talk) 16:01, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Ulubatli Hasan

Please use |text= instead of |1=!

Status:    Done
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. (edit: I've never applied for adminship. Both nominations are of different users).. 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]

Global rename for NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 13 October 2021 06:29 UTC

Hello. Since both Vietnamese-speaking global renamers (Alphama and Trần Nguyễn Minh Huy) are having their Wikibreak and that vi:Wikipedia:Đổi tên người dùng is full of pending requests, I would like to request for global rename flag. I have fully read and understand the relevant policies. My languages are vi-n and en-3. Unnamed UserName me 06:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Question Question: For non sysop users, my usual question will be: What experiences you have with renaming, I seen you transfer some request from the local page to SRUC recently, but then it is quite recent. Do you have some long term experiences. In addition, if one of the vi renamers will to endorse you this will make the support easy. Thanks for volunteering anyway. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:16, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Since my account was created about 6 months ago, I can't say that I have long-term experiences. My very first edit at vi:WP:DTND was made on May 27. Normally, Alphama will reply as soon as possible, and being a native Vietnamese himself he doesn't need a clerk. However, recently, he was quite busy, and I voluntarily took care of those requests (I read the renaming policies a long time before that due to curiosity). Unnamed UserName me 15:30, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I see. Alphama I had seen cleared those. I am just a little uneasy to grant such sensitive rights to a 5 month old account however, so Neutral Neutral but thank you for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:16, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support Easy support. He is a very quick learner and versatile contributor of Vi Wikipedia, contributing in many areas such as templates, bot, AfD, discussions, many high quality articles and so on. Plus, there is a void that needs to be filled (Alphama & Minh Huy are off for quite some time). Nguyentrongphu (talk) 08:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  1. While the two renamers are on a wikibreak, wikibreak ≠ retired.
  2. The OP isn't a sysop on any WMF project.
But apart from that, I don't have any issues. --SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 09:32, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for NhacNy2412

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 15 October 2021 10:52 UTC

In the same way as NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh indicated above, two global renamers who know Vietnamese are presently both very busy, Vietnamese Wikipedia requires volunteers to help with backlog requests as well as new requests. I've been on Wiki for over two years and have some familiarity with it. Although I'm not a sysop, I've been an eliminator of Vietnamese Wikipedia since January of this year and am quite aware of the rules and tools. I think this tool will not be too difficult for me. Thank you. ༒ Nhac Ny ༒ Talk to me ♥ 10:52, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Camouflaged Mirage I simply want to be humble for a moment. Of course, I am confident enough to stand for election. Anyway, because my major is constantly exposed to new tools, I'm no stranger to them. Thanks for the question. ༒ Nhac Ny ༒ Talk to me ♥ 12:58, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@NhacNy2412 I mean what experiences you have with renaming. Pardon me but this is my usual question to non-admin candidates. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:01, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Camouflaged Mirage Sorry for not understanding your question. Although I am rarely engaged to the page vi:Wikipedia:Đổi tên người dùng, I do keep a close eye on this site and how Alphama handled the requests. Furthermore, I remind members whose names are in violation on a frequent basis that they must alter their names or report the infraction to an administrator if the violation persists (of course I have read and understood the relevant regulations). ༒ Nhac Ny ༒ Talk to me ♥ 13:10, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I see no reason to oppose and since eliminator is some position of trust and they seem to know somewhat about renaming, I will Support Support for now. Another vi renamer surely will help somehow, please use the tool carefully and I really hope you will stay active. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:14, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your trust. I will always try to stay active like now. ༒ Nhac Ny ༒ Talk to me ♥ 13:22, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
