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

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

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 sysops policy.
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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Requests for global rename permissions

While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.

Global rename for CROIX

Not ending before 8 May 2022 15:52 UTC

I am applying for global rename permissions because many people go through the stress of having a “bad name” that they would like to get rid of. In fact, I experienced this, and I want to help others who may want to change their usernames. A little bit of information about me is that I am from Codrington, Antigua and Barbuda, and I am very interested in politics and demography. I think I am a qualified candidate because…

  • I would have a very quick response time, as I spend most of my day working on a Wikimedia projects.
  • I am online whenever I can access the internet.
  • Although I cannot say I am perfect, I am getting better at dealing with people who may be a little angry.
  • When dealing with requests, I will be as neutral as possible, and, unless the name may be interpreted as offensive by others, give them the username they would like.
  • I also think I am experienced, being an active editor for over a year now.
  • I understand this is an important rule, and that it can be abused, this is why I will avoid using the role unless I absolutely need to, or if a user requests a new username.

In conclusion, these are the reasons why I think I am a qualified candidate for this role. I remind you not to confuse me with “Croix”, my username is all uppercase. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by CROIX (talk) 15:59, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Oppose Sorry, but you have 1.214 global contributions, you are new user and you haven't admin rights on a Wikimedia wiki. AlPaD (talk) 17:58, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose --MdsShakil (talk) 18:17, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Neutral Global renamer is a minor role, akin to the VRT permissions agent role. One does not need to have sysop let alone bureaucrat rights for this role. This is a good-faith request, so I cannot oppose this, but that being said, I'm not seeing enough global activity to justify supporting. Dmehus (talk) 20:24, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose If anyone hasn't sysop rights in any Wikimedia projects, then we expect enough global activities for the GR rights. —Yahya (talkcontribs.) 22:05, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Neutral I don't care about whether you are an admin or not, but since there is no evidence of experience I cannot support. On enwiki you have 5 edits in project namespace, 3 deleted, 2 at Wikiprojects; I don't think that is sufficient to prove that you have experienced the administrative aspect of Wikimedia of which GRN is a part. You are welcomed to re-request any time when you think you're truly ready for it. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 00:35, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Global rename is a very sensitive permission with effects over all Wikimedia project and without any trusted role already, I can't support this request. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 02:21, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose no demonstrated need nor trust at a whopping 1200 edits across all projects and less than a dozen on projects that aren't hte users homewiki. Praxidicae (talk) 20:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose per above. Concerns with limited experience on WMF projects and no demonstrated need for the tool. -FASTILY 22:08, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose thank you for volunteering, but I think don't have enough experience dealing with WMF hosted community users yet. — xaosflux Talk 18:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done — closing as an unlikely to pass under any circumstances request. CROIX, thank you for volunteering and please do not let this discourage you. Your help is welcome but for now you should get more experience interacting with the community, both on your home English Wikipedia and cross-wiki. For the latter your may for example consider joining small wiki monitoring team. --Base (talk) 10:37, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
