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.

Global rollback for Pavlov2

Status:    Withdrawn
Not ending before 4 April 2022 16:43 UTC

Hello, I'm Pavlov2 whose home wiki is Chinese Wikipedia. I'm now a rollback in zhwiki and enwiki, and I'm also very active cross several wiki projects, fighting against vandalism and nominate for deletion of spams around them.

I'm now trying to get global rollback to fight against vandals that create or vandalize a lot of pages in short minutes using revert a lot or huggle, and hopefully I could get this right.

Many thanks for all!Pavlov2 16:43, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request withdrawn I am sorry, but after careful consideration of your suggestions and information, I withdraw my request. Apparently, multiple friends from various wikis have pointed out that it is too soon and the proposal will most likely not be successful. I am still very grateful to my friends for acknowledging my previous contributions or giving me various guidance, and I am deeply grateful to all of you again. I am deeply sorry that I wasted your time and energy. Pavlov2 13:05, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Nihonjoe

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 5 April 2022 00:53 UTC

I previously had global rename, but hadn't used it for a year so it was removed. I plan to be more involved in this now. In the years I previously had it (including when it was part of the English Wiki Bureaucrat role), I handled it well. Thanks! ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:53, 22 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi everyone. Due an invitation made by our fellow @Stanglavine:, I decide to open this request to become a global renamer. I've experience with advanced permissions such checkuser and oversight, as well being an ombudsman in 2019. I plan to help with rename request in my homewiki, and others too, when needed.

Hi everyone, I've been on Wikipedia for about 5 months and I felt the feeling of applying for a global renaming. I started to contribute in Turkish language, thanks in advance for your opinions.

  • Comment Comment Thanks for volunteering @Venomous lion:. Please consider that the global renamer flag is designed for experienced users. This is not because it's difficult to use, but because it's a very delicate and "dangerous" tool, and it's necessary that those who own it have at least a good knowledge of several guidelines (usually - but not necessarily - a global renamer is at least an administrators). I advise you to gain more experience and contribute in Wikimedia projects, it's not necessary to have permissions or flags to do so, each user can give a great help to the whole community. In the future, when you have a much greater experience, you will be able to apply again. I therefore suggest that you withdraw your request and continue to contribute to projects to learn more and more. Consider that all of us, from the most experienced to the least experienced, are learning new things every day. So in my opinion you can still learn a lot without needing to have the right to global renamer. Best regards! --Superpes15 (talk) 21:33, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, as Superpes15 says, not yet, but thank you for contributing to Wikipedia :) --Ferien (talk) 21:37, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the information, I'm withdrawing my request. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Venomous lion (talk) 21:40, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global IP block exemption

Shortcut:
SRIPBE
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
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 stewards(_AT_)wikimedia.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.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. 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.

Global IP block exempt for Joytz

Status:    In progress

I'm in China and need proxy to accelerate access to Wikipedia for educational purposes. Info: "Your current IP address is 172.104.127.197 and the block ID is #361743". I'm requesting for global IP block exemption permission., thanks, --Joytz (talk) 04:04, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Joytz: If you want to the edit Chinese Wikipedia, please follow the instruction on this page; if you want to edit the English Wikipedia, please read this section and send an email. Global IP block exemption permission does not allow you to edit either two sites. Stang 16:26, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I thought you need a global IP block exemption first and then you can request local IP block exemption? Joytz (talk) 03:37, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Also, should I be asking for this in case I need to edit in the future but cannot, or should I ask this only when there is something I want to edit now? Joytz (talk) 03:39, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, global IPBE is not a prerequisite for local IPBE. You could request for now if you though it is useful even in the future, but at least you need to clarify which project(s) you intended to edit. Stang 01:49, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Kaue548

Status:    Locally handled

When I try to edit from school I am blocked at all times and I can't edit my talk page or sandbox on en.Wikipedia it makes it quite hard to edit a draft I am working on. The school Wifi uses AWS for wifi and that makes it basically impossible for me to edit my draft. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kaue548 (talk)

abusefilter-maintainer for Xaosflux (2022)

Status:    In progress

Hi All, missed my renewal (this will be my third time) on this a few days ago. See last renewal here. Still slowing working through deprecated replacements and broken filters on small projects. As far as I'm aware there were no complaints about my use over the last year. Thank you for your consideration. — xaosflux Talk 14:02, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

global-interface-editor and abusefilter-maintainer for billinghurst (2022)

Status:    In progress

Ugh, these quietly expiring rights. Similarly to Xaosflux, here for a third successive time for the rights to view local filters results at local wikis and to support their maintenance.

My need is no different from previous requests, my volunteerism continues. There have been no other status changes in my roles as an advanced rights holder at wikis. There has been no particular change in community requirements or security that says that the tasks that I do are now redundant. Rights have been used in the past 12 months to support wikis to build and maintain their local abuse filters and their local js/css pages.  — billinghurst sDrewth 05:13, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
