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.

:''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.
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 administerators.I'm Li_Dicker from China.When I was searching a Chinese actress tonight,I found it annoying that someone write Taiwan as an independent county. From ancient China to this moment,Taiwan has been part of territory of China.At the same time,United Nations has admitted that Taiwan is part of China.But some reactionary try to prowork disord to separate my country and some Taiwan people can't recogoniese the fact so that they write Taiwan as Republic of China not People's Republic of China .Now,as a Chinese citizen,I have to correct this mistake.But because of having to use proxy software to access Wikipedia,I can't correct the website.I hope administrators can give me the right to correct these mistakes(https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%AE%8B%E8%8A%B8%E6%A8%BA#).Thanks for your cooperation.
Note:
I want to correct this mistake globally not just correct it on zhwiki.This is a global political problem.I want everyone have a correct cognition about Taiwan.As a Chinese,I obligated to correct these mistakes globally.Thanks for administrators and merry chrismas everyone.
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

Hello @Vikipolimer, Abuse filter helper permission is not needed to develop abuse filters (local permissions on the wiki is). I don't understand why do you need access private filters at all wikis? Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:04, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Martin Urbanec We can sometimes encounter cross-spam or vandalism on the local wiki, in this case, we overcome this with new filters, if I have a global reach, I can help technically both in the local wiki and where it is needed globally. 𝗩𝗶𝗸𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗿 ℣14:18, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vikipolimer Abuse filter helper is a read-only permission. It does not let you to edit any filters. For that reason, I'm still unable to understand your need for access. Oppose until need can be shown. Martin Urbanec (talk) 14:29, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
