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}}}} ===
{{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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

Stewards
When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.

}}
:''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.

Global IP block exempt for Guxiangli Tongguan

Status:    In progress

Hello everybody. I am a Chinese student living in Australia. I haven't been able to edit lately because of many blocked IP blocks. Therefore, I would like everyone to exempt me from IP. I need to always mask my IP address for reasons of my personal security and privacy. However, I am unable to make contributions to Wikimedia projects when I am logged in and accessing the Internet via an IP that happens to be blocked. I would greatly appreciate it if I were granted an exemption, so that I may continue to contribute to Wikimedia projects. I do not have any other account on Wikimedia projects.--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 03:58, 30 December 2021 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]

Identical. Stang 19:18, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Stang. Hi, sometimes I get blocked from editing when using VPN with the reason using an open proxy. I use a VPN when visiting the website that get blocked (i.e. reddit) by government when I need to get the news from there and update Wikipedia articles. It's annoying that I always have to turn off my VPN whenever I want to edit on Wikipedia. I often edit on (id|jv)(wiki|wiktionary), and less on Commons, Old Wikisource, and Wikidata for interlanguage linking. Therefore I need a global IP block exemption, and I promise I will use it carefully and will not abuse it. Thanks!--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 07:31, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]
@Guxiangli Tongguan: You are currently residing in Australia so you shouldn't have any issue accessing Wikipedia without the VPN active. So long as you continue using your account and edit while logged in, your IP information is not public. Please disable your VPN/proxy in order to access Wikipedia. Operator873 connect 07:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Do also see the section on RFH @Operator873. This user seemed according to Sotiale to be an known user on commons. I think a grant will be unsafe but I really can't tell without any additional information. My 2 cents. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 08:57, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I left wikimedia Commons near 1 month ago, now I spend more time on wiktionary and Chinese wikipedia, but I'm studying abroad in Australia so I'm busy. So the number of edits is not much (sometime edit).--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 10:12, 1 January 2022 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]
Hi Guxiangli Tongguan, you need to explain why a proxy is needed if you edit in Australia. Also, if you want to edit Chinese Wikipedia, you need a local flag. Please visit this page for how to request such exemption. Stang 01:31, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thanh you.--Guxiangli Tongguan (talk) 10:48, 2 January 2022 (UTC)Guxiangli Tongguan[reply]

Global IP block exempt for LeetGuy9915A

Status:    In progress

Hello! I'm a Wikipedia user from mainland China, as everyone knows, it's nearly impossible for people to access the websites such as Google in mainland China, so I can't help but use VPN to cross network blocks or limitations. That's why I'm here to apply for a global IP exemption. Although it would be hard for me to visit Wikipedia often, I will still try my best to contribute to it! I'm very appreciative of your help! --LeetGuy9915A (talk) 05:19, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@LeetGuy9915A: Which wikis do you intend to edit? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 14:58, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for 来斤小仓鼠吧

Status:    In progress

This is a Wikipedia user from mainland China. Due to my schoolwork, my account did not contribute any edit this semester and my block exempt has been canceled. The block has made a huge impediment on my edit on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Hooping to get the exemption back soon to restart my edit plan this vacation ASAP. Best wishes. --来斤小仓鼠吧 (talk) 09:44, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@来斤小仓鼠吧: Global exemptions don't override local blocks. If you are facing local blocks, it would be best to get local IPBE. If it's more global blocks, let us know. -- Amanda (aka DQ) 22:16, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for MafumafuJK

Status:    In progress

I am an editor from China, as the IP address of the proxy I use changes every time, sometimes it is blocked and sometimes it is not. Because of this, every time I edit wikidata I get blocked, so I've come to apply. (The reason for editing wikidata is to add Interlanguage links.), thanks, --MafumafuJK (talk) 14:12, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Tamzin

Status:    Withdrawn

Copying the request I made on my talkpage, now that I've been given the perm locally:

Hello, friends! Due to an electrical issue in my home, I'm currently routing all of my editing through a mobile hotspot on my phone, and am unlucky enough to be using T-Mobile, which often has large ranges blocked. And as it happens, Operator873 just gblocked 2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • guc • checkip) for a year. While I can probably get access to other networks to make an edit here and an edit there, or just wait and hope T-Mobile cycles me onto an unblocked range, I was hoping to get short-term global IPBE, since otherwise there's really no guaranteed way to make frequent edits.

I currently run a bot on enwiki, where all bots have bundled IPBE, and in the past have been a sysop (desysopped in good standing) on Wikidata, where all sysops have bundled IPBE, so I'd hope that I'm trusted enough to have this right for a bit. The electricians think they may be able to fix things today or tomorrow, but I'd hate to ask for just 24-48h of IPBE and then be told it'll actually be longer, and have to bother a steward again, so to play it safe I'm requesting global IPBE for 1 week. Thanks. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (she/they) 19:00, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mea Culpa. Many apologies. Operator873 connect 20:28, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
