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.
Hello everyone, I would like be able to also use global rollback. I have been active in fighting cross wiki vandalisme for two years almost on a daily basis. I have rollback rights on nl-wiki and actively am fighting spam and vandalism as can be seen in my logs. I report spambots, revert vandalism and help out with fighting sockpoppet spam/advertising farms. I fully understand the right and will only use it to revert obvious vandalism and spam of course. I hope you can evaluate this request and my contributions and trust me to use the right for the good of the wikipedia projects. Thank you. Hoyanova (talk) 06:37, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Edit count a bit low (62 wikis so far, excluding nlwiki, enwiki, Meta and Commons), the majority of which are CSD tagging of articles by LTAs. Some remained or were fulfilled, some other were reverted, e.g. eswiki, nowiki, plwiki. Your reverts are good, albeit sometimes unnecessary. In general, I think you're good enough for me to support. Just a recommendation: if possible, please use clearer edit summary; I doubt if everyone can understand rv cw ls. Also, while checking your contributions, I found something you might want to have a re-look: yuewiki, cywiki, lvwiki. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh13:25, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose/Oppose Sorry but I feel you need some more experience as there are a few strange reverts, and there isn't as much cross-wiki experience as I would like. Thanks for volunteering and thank you for your help in anti-vandalism! -Ferien (talk) 17:08, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Some of the links shared here are quite recent and look like red flags to me. Please be more careful in the future and come back after gaining more experience. Thanks, ~~~~ User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)19:58, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Please let me know what the red flags are I have answered above about some concerns and am very careful usually. Regards, Hoyanova (talk) 07:04, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, I would like to ask the community for global rollback rights. I'm frequently active in fighting crosswiki spam, and regularly use tools such as SWViewer & Huggle to fight vandalism. I already have rollback rights in deWP (where I'm a sysop) and in enWP. I'm familiar with GR guidelines and promise to only rollback clear vandalism & spam. Thanks for your feedback! --Johannnes89 (talk) 12:41, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
I am a Chinese user. Because the government has blocked the Wikiproject, I have to use the proxy server to participate in the Wikiproject. I get blocked when editing Wikidata and other Wikiprojects. --dxmaimxd (talk) 11:05, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I know well, please don't answer me automatically. I am under indefinite block in fawiki by a unilateral charge of a local bureaucrat. All local channels of conversation are closed, I can't edit talk page, i emailed some sysop, no anwer. There is nothing but lack of responsibility there, I got blocked because of Sunfyre's sockophobic view on every Iranian Arab user. --Ruwaym (talk) 22:57, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh So, where is the correct plase? I can even prove that I was spied on, I ask Metawiki to investigate the misusing of access by User Sunfyre. This cannot be done locally due to the lack of democracy and widespread repression andfawiki community unfamiliarity with the liberal world. It's not just about me, you will find more things. Thanks. Ruwaym (talk) 23:07, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruwaym: As I have told you multiple times at the RfC page, I have no interest in your problem. Here's a list of places to appeal: blocking admin, admins' noticeboard, ArbCom and RfC on Meta. Stewards cannot intervene and override local consensus. Yes, the system may sounds problematic but this is how it goes. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh23:13, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh Even if a bureaucrat do missuse his acess? Even if systematic harassment of admins is done? I went all the ways you said. What has become clear to me is this: Metawiki only cares about Chinese and Russian Wikipedis for global intervention, but when it comes to Fawikipedia, everything is as beautiful as Persian carpets. Ruwaym (talk) 23:24, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
To everyone who concerns: The fundamental values of the Wikimedia Foundation are widely and systematically violated in Persian Wikipedia by some long-time access-holders. My own case is just an example. I can share more informations. Ruwaym (talk) 23:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Ruwaym: If there is no consensus stewards cannot intervene. They are not the last place to go when all attempts to achieve consensus have failed – they cannot and do not have the authority to decide what large projects do all by themselves. Remember also that we, including me and you, are volunteers; we are free to pay attention to whatever we want to. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh23:30, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh That is why I moved to fa.wikiquote, enjoying my volunteer work there, where I can be more "similar" to Chyah, she was so active there. No one can stop me. You know what, I will make something like Deceased editors, but about alives who got suppressed, harassed, neglected, But they have made useful contributions and written many articles, they have not sought more access, they moved from one wiki to another, they have not retired from editing. They are our "hero"s, we, ordinary users. Ruwaym (talk) 23:46, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
