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.
Hello everyone, thanks for reading my request. I have been active in cross-wiki maintenance and antiabuse tasks for a bit over a year, and became an admin on Meta-Wiki in May 2021. Since then I have gained a lot of experience in dealing with small wikis, submitting numerous reports to GSR as well as indirectly interacting with them by editing global abuse filters and the title blacklist. To act more efficiently in these areas, I would like to request global sysop permissions, and have also been encouraged to do so by a couple other editors. More recently I was granted syop access on Commons, so I believe I am trusted enough for this role. I am familiar with the GS policy and am only going to use the tools in uncontroversial situations where no local admins are available, as I already do with my requests. Thank you for your consideration. ~~~~ User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)16:43, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support plenty of GSR requests, active, trusted user, admin on multiple bigger wikis... no negatives here. --Ferien (talk) 16:50, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When you give someone global rename rights, please add them to the list of global renamers and ask them to subscribe to the global renamers' mailing list.

=== Global rename for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===

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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.
Greetings! Sorry I restart request this right to help rename the user. I know I shouldn't restart it too fast, but I noticed the local Renameuser-er in zhwiki is not working for a long time and there have been some requests not be handled
(btw, a request is for personal privacy and I guess long-term help from non-local rename-ers is not a long-term solution). I often help users rename on IRC, Telegram and Discord, to be honest, I active in local rename requests recently. I have read the global rename policy and the local rename policy in full, and I would like this right to assist with local rename requests. Thanks. BureibuNeko (talk) 13:54, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Global rename permissions is one of the sensitive permission that's exist in Wikimedia wikis. I fell comfortable to support a candidate who are Sysop of at least an Wikimedia wiki. Oppose for now --MdsShakil (talk) 15:09, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You're back after a month and have made 22 edits to zh:WP:更改用户名 since then. I don't see any substantial changes in your experience nor skills, and therefore will not change my mind: Weak oppose, may revise if a renamer from zhwiki approve your candidacy.

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.
Instructions for making a request

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.
Requests for 2 Factor Auth tester permissions
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.
Testing this service may result in the loss of your access and is not recommended for inexperienced users.
Instructions for making a request
Before requesting 2FA tester global permissions, make sure that:
I think security is paramount to everyone, but especially to me, because I have many sensitive data on various websites, some of which also have 2FA. I've recently been hacked from Facebook and Instagram, and, though I recovered them, I want to discourage future attempts. As such, I need to enable 2FA also on this website, thanks, --Luigi rovatti (talk) 10:58, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I highly value account security and believe two-factor authentication is essential in ensuring digital security. Not being able to access 2FA on Wikipedia/Wikimedia means I can't ensure my security when editing Wikipedia. It also means the encyclopedia has more risks for being vandalized (having autoconfirmed and extended confirmed access). I'd appreciate it if I could get the permission. Thanks in advance. --Amadeus1999 (talk) 17:53, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support I can't even remember if any of your requests at GSR were declined. Good user with huge experience, definitely worth a GS flag. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 16:54, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
