This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Krd(talk | contribs) at 08:02, 21 October 2021(requesting removal of global VRT permissions agents flag for Moheen). 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.
Strong support despite failing an RfA on Commons five times for absolutely ridiculous reasons, Jeff G is still quite active x-wiki despite not being a sysop on a medium/large wiki and can easily be trusted. Thanks for volunteering :-) (or if I may use "ツ") SHB2000 (talk | contibs) 01:21, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I know your hardwork in crosswiki areas, and I personally trust you. My Question: is what rename area experience you have, and like which project you want to help out. Sorry Jeff but I hope you understand these are my regular questions to any non-admin who applies here. I don't think commons have a username change page so I cannot gauge your activity in rename - related areas without asking. Thanks for the willingness to help.

@Camouflaged Mirage: Thanks for asking. Renaming experience on WMF wikis is rather hard to get, due to the catch-22 of "you can't have the job if you have no experience, and you can't get experience if you don't have the job". However, I got enough to receive "The Working Man's Barnstar" for my "diligent efforts clerking the username change requests pages".[1] I also have opined on at least one username change for another person at SRUC[2] and at Talk:Steward requests/Username changes.[3] Also: my personal experience in using "Jeff G. en" to get the account of the former "Jeff G." here on Meta usurped to the current "Jeff G. (usurped)" in 2007[4][5][6], getting my account "JeffGent" on English Wikipedia renamed to "Jeff G."[7], 200+ account creations on English Wikipedia[8], and filing reports which led to the Foundation Global Ban of Hasive[9]; my Admin experience on Beta Commons, Wikimedia Outreach, the Test and Test2 Wikipedias, RationalWiki.org, TheTestWiki.org, Deletionpedia.org, and various Wikia Fandom wikis; my Bureaucrat experience on Test2 Wikipedia, TheTestWiki.org, Deletionpedia.org, and various Wikia Fandom wikis; and my non-wiki Network Admin, Private IP Registrar, Help Desk, Technician, and Consultant experience at Canon USA and other client and employer networks in the New York Metro Area have all helped me to prepare for such a precise, detail-oriented role. This is a global right, which will help out all projects, but the main interests of most of the Wikimedians I have helped have been on Commons and English Wikipedia. -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 14:06, 19 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jeff G. Thank you for your very in depth reply, I didn't know your extensive history on enwp (candidates from en will typically allude to when they apply). Support. Thanks for helping out. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:30, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
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.
Instructions for making a request
Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
To request global IP block exemption
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.
=== Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!--don't change this line-->
|domain = global<!--don't change this line-->
|user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}
}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~
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.
I use Safari on my Mac and iPad to access Wikimedia. Recent global blocking has blocked editing from these devices. I'm temporarily logged in from Google Chrome, but I still want to edit in the familiar safari, so I request the global IP block exemption flag.
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and INDICATE you have read the Help page.
If the request page is currently protected, please file as an edit request on the talk page.
=== 2FA Tester for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===

The request will be approved if there is no reason not to grant one. A steward will review the request.
