Steward requests/Global permissions
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).

Global IP block exempt for Mirinano
- Global user: Mirinano (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
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.

- @Mirinano: this sounds like a feature you enabled?
You can turn off iCloud Private Relay in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Private Relay.
Apple Support article. — xaosflux Talk 13:50, 19 October 2021 (UTC)- @Xaosflux: Does that mean I have to turn on and off for each edit?--mirinano (talk) 10:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Mirinano That, or turn it off permanently (or use Google Chrome for editing). Vandals and other abusers frequently abuse open proxies (like iCloud Private Relay) to hide their own IP addresses, and since the IP address is one of the very few anti-abuse mechanisms vandal-fighters have available, such IP addresses are often indefinitely blocked under the provisions of the NOP policy. Martin Urbanec (talk) 10:54, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Martin Urbanec: hmmm... Okey, I understand that Apple iCloud Private Relay is treated as a proxy. If you say so, I'll turn this system off and edit. --mirinano (talk) 11:13, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Butcher2021
- Global user: Butcher2021 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I would like to edit from a country which has blocked wikipedia, thanks.--Butcher2021 (talk) 08:34, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
- You were previously asked which country it was. Could you reply to that please? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 15:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Butcher2021: How were you able to post here? -- Jeff G. ツ (please ping or talk to me) 20:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Probably through some vpn. --Zabe (talk) 20:48, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
- Depending on the country, Meta might also not be blocked (especially since it uses a different domain, wikimedia.org). ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 18:54, 22 October 2021 (UTC)- Sometimes meta is not blocked. I do not know how. Butcher2021 (talk) 20:39, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- Global blocks do not apply on Meta, so stewards might have forgotten to block on Meta or deliberately left it unblocked. ~~~~

Global IP block exempt for Rizīka
- Global user: Rizīka (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I`m in mainland China and I use VPN,but it always blocked ,so I ask to unblock. thanks, --Rizīka (talk) 13:03, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @Rizīka, it looks the majority of your edits are at English Wikipedia. Could you please first request a local exemption there? The process is explained at en:WP:IPECPROXY. Once the request is granted, we'll gladly consider granting a global exemption. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 16:42, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
Thanks.The reason I edit in EN Wikipedia is I didn`t know how to use vpn to get to Chinese Wikipedia. I really want to edit chinese wikipedia! Now I know how to use vpn, so I try to edit in Chinese wikipedia,but The ip is blocked .I also try to use the vpn edit the English Wikipedia ,but ip is blocked too!Rizīka (talk) 11:30, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
- @Rizīka Thanks for the reply. In that case, can you please request a Chinese Wikipedia exemption first? The e-mail address is unblock-zh@lists.wikimedia.org, see [1] for more information. Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
ok.I have just sent an email.I am waiting for the reply .ASAP.Thanks!Rizīka (talk) 12:09, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for 07
- Global user: 07 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I often contribute Wikipedia from public Wi-Fi, and I found out that the IP address of a Starbucks in Berlin, where I often contribute from was globally blocked because of being a webhost. For this reason, I demand a global IP block exempt, if possible. Thank you. --07 (talk) 16:26, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Ruincrez
- Global user: Ruincrez (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I am from Mainland China and need to use proxies to contribute wikipedia. I have IPBE in zhwp, but i sometimes need to edit wikidata and commons. The IP address that my proxy changes often, a lot of them are global blocked. This caused me a lot of trouble, and I had to try to reconnect many times before editing. I demand to be global IP block exempt if possible, thank you. --Ruincrez (talk) 04:22, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

2FA Tester for AramilFeraxa
- Global user: AramilFeraxa (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hi! I would like to ask You to enable 2FA for me. First of all, for security (for example today, after rollbacking vandalisms on plwiki someone tried to break into my account 9 times so I'd like to protect myself), I could test it by the way. I got acquainted with Help:Two-factor authentication and 2FA. Thanks, --Aramil Feraxa (Write to me!) 22:36, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
2FA Tester for Brcomp05
- Global user: Brcomp05 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Would like 2FA capability to help with testing and for the added security, thanks, --Brcomp05 (talk) 11:04, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
