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.
About me: Hi. Recently I've been interested in crosswiki patrolling using SWViewer. See my crossactivity here and, if you have editcountitis, my SUL here. I am obsessed with and using a lot of Javascript tools (despite knowing hardly nothing about JS), but they can't completely replace rollback, especially when I need to mass-revert some vandal's edits. Therefore, I request for GR permissions.
Language: Vietnamese is my first language. I'm quite good at reading English, but not really confident in speaking/writing. I can also read basic (Classical) Chinese (Hán tự/Hànzì/Kanji/Hanja). In short: vi, en-4 (reading), en-2.5 (speaking/writing), zh/lzh-0.5 (reading).
I know NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh well and they're a well trusted user. However, the large number of rights requested on Commons recently gave both Davey2010 and myself the concern of hatcollecting. In this case, I'm sure NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh doesn't have that intent, but I'd like to hear the opinion of others before voting. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs)10:55, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
My thoughts are the same as SHBs - Having looked at their contribs they've made reverts to different projects but I feel like they've only made those reverts for the sake of coming here, Again I also have a strong sense of HATCOLLECTING here however Given I don't know the user and don't edit here it would be unfair to immediately Oppose so wanted to see what others thought before !voting, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk11:39, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked some edits in bnwiki, although revert's looking good to me except this. I putup my opinion as Weak support based on too low crosswiki activity and concerns about hatcollecting -- MdsShakil (talk) 17:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I came across crosswiki actions, done by NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh quite often recently and my overall impression was good but, as always, I try to check some crosswiki actions in languages, I can understand and I have some concerns. First of all user got a warning from admin in slwiki for reverting good faith edits. Secondly, I found this, this and this edits that surely were not vandalism of some sort. Also I see that there was some confusion in this page in bgwiki, which is understandable, because you have no command of Slavic languages, but what's a point of patrolling them then? Based on everything above that's Weak oppose from me, because generally I see good potential but NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh needs to gain more experience and make conclusions.--Renvoy (talk) 09:16, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
About me: I started a cross-wiki review of climate disinformation and misinformation. We try to delete blatant misinformation and work together with the local communities / native speakers to improve less problematic text. Unsurprisingly, some climate change articles are semi-protected. I was wondering if I could get the global rollback right, as it includes autoconfirmed. I'm willing to promise that I will not use the rollback function. I think this project can be done in three months, so happy to have this right only for a limited time. Thanks

@Yahya: This request was made to circumvent local autoconfirmed restrictions by using the autopatrolautoconfirmed user right, as such, this has nothing to do with cross-wiki activity. --Minorax«¦talk¦»13:00, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This appears to be outside the scope of the global rollback permission. Optimally you should obtain autoconfirmed through local processes, usually just being registered for a few days. It is also generally a bad idea to edit content in an unfamiliar language, and I would recommend you prioritize working with local editors and native speakers over making removals yourself. Best, Vermont (talk) 21:36, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong opposeOppose Not only, as rightfully said by Vermont, this is "outside the scope of the global rollback permission" but even if you gain GR permission it does not guarantee you autopatrol rights in every and each wiki, because many of them do not use autopatrol, but autoreview feature instead. So, for example, after obtaining global rollback flag you still would not be autopatrolled in Hungarian, Belorussian, Bosnian, Arabic, Hindi and Farsi wikis (based on your list).--Renvoy (talk) 10:06, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This is requesting the ability to edit semi-protected pages, which is truly granted everywhere by being a global rollbacker, not the ability to have one's edits escape review. * Pppery *it has begun15:33, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I understand what you are doing but I think it would be better to try and get the articles unprotected or have tool use audited rather than going about it this way. --Rschen775419:30, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If the protection was inappropriate, bring it up with that administrator, and if the resolution is unsatisfactory, pursue further processes (i.e. community review/desysop). --Rschen775401:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

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.

Hello, I'm an administrator of Chinese Wikipedia. Due to the iCloud Private Relay, it was greatly hindered by me in global contributing, which also deeply troubled me, so I applied for a global IP block exemption, Thank you. --Subscriptshoe9 (talk) 05:53, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am an active editor in Chinese Wikipedia, as a user from mainland china, I have to use VPN to contribute. Although I have IP block exemption in zh-wiki, it's not enough, as you can check, I also edit in Wikidata , Wikimedia Commons and zh-Wikisource. So I'd like to apply a global IP block exemption. thanks, --Dkzzl (talk) 10:07, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
