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.

Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.
Hello everyone! I would like to file this request for obtaining GS right. I have been a member of SWMT for a considerable time now, fighting vandalism across hundreds of projects. I frequently appear on GSR and SRG pages, cooperating with many users on that matter and status of global sysop would definitely help that. Outside my cross-wiki actions, I am sysop on Ukrainian Wikibooks and in February-March, I conducted a successful temporary adminship on a major project - Ukrainian Wikipedia. I hope I am trusted enough for this role. Thanks.--reNVoy(user talk)10:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose You are elected/acting as an admin on Ukrainian Wikipedia only for one months, also your adminship in ukwikibooks has not passed one years. For my view, i think you have need more administrative experience. Thanks for volunteering —MdsShakil (talk) 12:33, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose not enough experience with administrator tools. I suggest you try to become a permanent sysop on any content projects first. — xaosfluxTalk13:23, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I can support this user. During this short time that he was a temporary administrator he made many useful adminactions. In general, Renvoy is a competent user who will definitely not have problems with these buttons, and given his frequent requests to global sysops, this will greatly facilitate his work and benefit the community. --Mykolatalk15:01, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
{{neutral}} Many good requests at GSR (~450), but your crosswiki matrix is on the low side. You are also a bit inexperienced as a sysop, as mentioned by MdsShakil and Xaosflux. I can't support for now, but will not oppose either. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh17:14, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as I am familiar with the user from his involvement in Ukrainian projects, per Mykola7, I am sure that the user is both trusted and experienced enough, both technically and socially to wield the rights. --Base (talk) 18:05, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
{{neutral}}Support (changed !vote, see below 16:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)) I do think that people with GS should hold sysop rights on one wiki, but there is a ton of crosswiki experience and SWMT work that push me towards support. Neutral at the moment but would strongly support if Renvoy had sysop on a wiki. Thank you for volunteering. --Ferien (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No sorry, I hadn't seen the part about you being a temporary admin above. I don't see any problem in you having GS rights now. --Ferien (talk) 16:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose - I think Renvoy will become a good GS in the future, but would like to see some more administrative experience. --Daniuu (talk) 21:42, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I see no problem with the lack of adminship on big projects, and know (of) multiple users who were appointed global sysops without being a local sysop anywhere. All I see is good experience with crosswiki patrolling over an extended period of time, including lots of requests on the relevant venues, and no other reason for concern. Therefore I support. ~~~~ User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)02:31, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
1234qwer1234qwer4 summed my views on the Global Sysop prerequisites perfectly. I do like to see extensive sort of cross-wiki counter-vandalism activity and a good amount of SRG reports. Technical toolset experience can be gained through the Global Rollbackers role or a combination of local rollbacker and/or sysop. In other words, one or the other. A Global Sysop is, after all, acts as a sysop on opted-in wikis with few active local sysops or no local sysops, so, by definition, I'm not certain why we'd need to require local sysop on at least one wiki. Sure, it can be useful for identifying technical proficiency, but it is not the only method for this. So, as with 1234qwer1234qwer4, I support per the same rationale. Dmehus (talk) 03:05, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support strong xwiki/swmt experience. Local adminship is not a prerequisite, the role of global sysop is quite different. – Ajraddatz (talk) 02:32, 6 July 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.

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.
Hi everyone. Hope you all are doing well. I am here to request global rename permission to assist rename requests. I want to mostly focus on Ks Wiki, Ks Wikitionary and meta. I contribute to multiple projects including enwiki, kswiki, meta and others. I am also acting admin at ks wiki and a VRT member. I hope this tool can prove helpful. Rest assured, I won't misuse it. Thanks. 511KeV (talk) 08:33, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thankyou MdsShakil for your questions. We collectively use Admin noticeboard for a vide range of discussion. However we will create a separate page for this at Renaming Users. I have started the work and it will be completed in some days. 511KeV (talk) 17:53, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously administrator noticeboard is not useing for place rename request, i was little wonder that your linked page was just created after my question. —MdsShakil (talk) 05:13, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
For sure, Admin noticeboard is not the correct venue for such requests but in past Admin noticeboard has been used for a variety of requests. Yes, the page was created after your asked about it on the local ks Wiki as I also think such requests should be documented on a separate page. 511KeV (talk) 05:43, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the answer. I suggest you to answer directly of any questions at this type discussion in the future without any hesitation. Support and best wishes —MdsShakil (talk) 13:41, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose due to lack of being a permanent admin on any projects, and wanting to focus on requests from ...meta and others... so, basically from "everywhere"?? — xaosfluxTalk13:28, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Note that these were listed as the projects the user is active in, as explicitly opposed to what projects they want to focus on as part of their global renamer duties. ~~~~ User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)22:44, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is it's global user right so even if someone says they will handle request from their project, after getting they end up at totally unrelated venues. A prime example is enwiki's local page and I've seen people doing this. This only creates more problems as not everyone is aware of policies of each projects. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 00:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My primary oppose is the lack of being a permanent admin on any projects part - in general I look for someone to take on that sort of role in a content project before being a GR. — xaosfluxTalk18:03, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No permanent adminship but most importantly I don't see them active at venues they intend to help, especially meta. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 00:26, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have user account creator rights on mrwiki, testwiki and I have used those rights for various events and on enwiki as part of acc team. Additionally part of my anti spam and vandal work I have reported 320+ accounts for indef block only on enwiki under username policy violation. As well as numerous abusive usernames(a good number of out of my 400+ requests for gblock) for global lock too. I am also sysop on mrwikisource and mrwikibooks. So, I am aware of enwiki, commonswiki and global policy on username and rename. I know, What a is the abusive, problematic, and non-acceptable username for sure now. I would like to help with requests coming from Indic wikis. Having said all this, I know that I won't misuse the tool. thanks.QueerEcofeminist [they/them/their] 14:22, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Question, QueerEcofeminist, our discussion at WP:UAA about CellGuru got archived before you had a chance to respond. I'm concerned you're seeing promotional usernames where they aren't. How will you respond when confronted with users from wikis where corporate usernames are allowed? Cabayi (talk) 08:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I agree with you about this particular case of w:en:User:CellGuru that I was wrong/If we would have waited then we might have received more evidence too, but we stopped them at userspace only. I am sure all the reports I have filed at WP:UAA were not wrong all the way down? And about your question, I have already said I will handle mainly Indic wiki requests. And as per my knowledge there are no such policies which allow corporate usernames. And where I am unsure or unaware of policies I can always step back and allow others to take up that task. I will only handle those requests which I am sure of. thanks QueerEcofeminist [they/them/their] 09:16, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support LGTM. Meets my criteria of showing some semblance of regular, active cross-wiki activity together with evidence they're both technically competent and trusted. Dmehus (talk) 21:10, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
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.

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]
Hello @Dxmaimxd, thanks for your request. It looks the GIPBE request is one of your first edits. I recommend you to first request a local exemption at a wikiproject you'd like to edit, and requesting the global exemption later. zh:Wikipedia:IPBEMAIL has instructions for requesting an exemption on the Chinese Wikipedia.

Hi, I'm an English Wikipedia user living in China. Since I need a VPN to access the wikipedia, my account is blocked from editing the webpages. Can I request for a global IP block exempt? --binguimath (talk) 03:21, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When I was editing the English Wikipedia, the webpage shows that "This IP address range has been globally blocked...This block may be appealed at Global steward requests on Meta-Wiki." Namely, my IP was blocked from ALL wikiprojects, but not just English Wikipedia. And the instruction page suggested that I may apply for a global IP block exempt. Could you help me with this? Binguimath (talk) 18:49, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Binguimath, English Wikipedia blocks most VPNs locally as well. While the global IP exemption would exempt you from the global part, the local block will still stay. That's why @Ruslik0 said it won't work. A local exemption will be needed for VPN editing at en.wikipedia. Please see en:WP:IPECPROXY for details.

Hello! I am a member of Dagbani Wikimedians User Group in Ghana. I edits English wikipedia, Dagbani wikipedia, wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, wikivoyage, wikitionary and others. My IP address was blocked globally since last three months and anytime they give a date to unblock me they will end up extending the date. I am currently a facilitator of our user group, but since then I could not help anybody. I am appealing to you to kindly unblock me to enable me continue my work and contribute more on the wiki projects. Achiri Bitamsimli (talk) 13:04, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Achiri Bitamsimli, you already have the global exemption. If you still see an error message saying you were blocked, do you mind sharing the error message here, so we can review? In case you wish to keep it private, you can email stewards@wikimedia.org instead (and note the ticket number [which will come in an autoreply message] here, so we can connect both places together). Thanks, Martin Urbanec (talk) 04:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My IP address was blocked when I try to edit on the English Wikipedia, probably because it was misused by another user so that I was affected by it. I cannot inform the administrator there because I am barred from editing any page including discussion page. This happens when I use Wi-Fi, instead of a data connection. Hopefully it can be resolved quickly. Thanks, --CyberTroopers (talk) 14:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @CyberTroopers, considering the issue is at English Wikipedia, it is likely the global IP exemption won't work. Do you mind sharing the IP address here (it'll be public)? Alternatively, you can email stewards@wikimedia.org, send the IP address there and note the ticket number here (so we can have a look; ticket number will come in an autoreply). Thanks, Martin Urbanec (talk) 04:53, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
