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}}}} ===

 |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 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]

Global rename for Vincent Vega

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 19 October 2021 15:21 UTC’'

Dear Wikimedians. I am Vincent Vega (former Chansey) from Trwiki. I am a local sysop and info-tr VRT volunteer. I am native Turkish speaker and en-3. According to list today we have 3 Turkish speaker (tr-N, tr-4 and tr-1) and I would like to assist them.

I am 7 y.o. in Wikimedia project, I contributed projects especially after 2016. When I create times from trwiki, I am trying to work crosswiki.

I am aware that lots of blockings happen in trwiki for inappropriate username selection, I would like to assist them and complete “block-rename-unblock” cycle myself, especially for Turkish spoken users. I believe I can handle and I have enough knowledge about Wikimedia renaming policy.

This is my second request, you can access first one (withdrawed) via this link. I am still standing behind my words.

Regards. Vincent Vega (talk) 15:21, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I should have written more clearly. This is my fault SHB2000 sorry. There is no correlation between my x-wiki contributions and GR things. I meant "I usually contributing in my home wiki especially on sysop works, when I find free time I work x-wiki". I know for GR requests x-wiki works are valuable. I only mentioned that. Nothing more. Thanks for giving chance to explain. Vincent Vega (talk) 21:57, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Otherwise, I see no issues so Support Support. SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 22:31, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support Impressed with the tenacity to try to RFA 4 times and passed. I think most of the concerns with regard to the 1st application is resolved, and I do think tr needs more renamers due to their username policies. Anyway meets my usual criterion that an active large / medium wiki sysop that is good standing should be automatically granted this tool if it aid in their work. Thanks for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support per Camouflaged Mirage. Thank you for services. --Victor Trevor (talk) 16:41, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for DarkMatterMan4500

Status:    In progress

I can't edit on English Wikipedia as I was apparently affected by an IP block. Is there anyway that this could work so I won't have to be affected by this anymore? --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 22:24, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Global IPBE only works for global blocks. If you are affected by a local block, you need to apply for IPBE there. If it's a global block, please explain the nature of the block. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 00:57, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Abusefilter helper for Sargento de Hierro

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 16 October 2021 17:00 UTC

I am applying for this permission to help with matters related to private filters, specially in Spanish projects. I am active in the resolution of false positive reports of the filters on eswiki (es:Wikipedia:Filtro de ediciones/Portal/Reporte de falsos positivos), and I would like to also be able to solve the reports related to private filters, as well as analyze them to propose changes. I will also be able to help with filters on small wikis. I think that I have the necessary knowledge to have this permission, and I think that I am ready for it. Thank you.

Me postulo a este permiso para echar una mano en los asuntos relacionados con los filtros privados, especialmente en los proyectos en español. Soy activo en la resolución de reportes de falsos positivos de los filtros en eswiki (es:Wikipedia:Filtro de ediciones/Portal/Reporte de falsos positivos), y me gustaría poder resolver también los reportes relacionados con filtros privados, así como analizarlos para poder proponer cambios. También podré ayudar con los filtros en wikis pequeñas. Creo que tengo los conocimientos necesarios para tener este permiso, y considero que estoy preparado para ello. Muchas gracias.

  • Oppose Oppose you are really only active on your homewiki, this global permission is a bit excessive - perhaps you could ask eswiki to give you access to w:es:Wikipedia:Administradores_de_filtros for helping on that project? — xaosflux Talk 17:11, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose The candidate says they'd like to use the permission on Spanish projects, however, they currently don't have similar permissions at any of the Spanish-language projects. I think requesting an equivalent permission at eswiki should be the first step, before requesting the permission globally. Thank you for your understanding, and good luck. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 17:11, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The abusefilter-helper group doesn’t exists locally, the similar right (abusefilter manager) alllow users to modify abuse filters, and I think that abusefilter-helper is a previous step because abusefilter-manager access requires more experience in abuse filter area. Sgd • Talk 17:20, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I should point out that (abusefilter manager) is barely granted on eswiki, only to filter syntax experts.MONUMENTA (talk) 17:32, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
