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}}}} ===

 |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 sysop for Renvoy

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 13 July 2022 10:25 UTC

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]

Global rename for 511KeV

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Not done
Not ending before 6 July 2022 08:21 UTC

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]

Not done There is not sufficient consensus to promote 511KeV to a global renamer. The policy requires a support margin of at least 80 % for promotion, and this request doesn't meet that criteria. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 08:06, 7 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]

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-->

<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 dxmaimxd

Status:    Not done

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. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 05:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for binguimath

Status:    Not done

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]

If you edit English Wikipedia, you need a local exemption there. Ruslik (talk) 13:50, 26 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. Best, Martin Urbanec (talk) 04:57, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Achiri Bitamsimli

Status:    Not done

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]
Not done No follow-up. --Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for CyberTroopers

Status:    Not done

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]
@Martin Urbanec: This is my IP address: 124.217.247.167. It's on the blocklist. CyberTroopers (talk) 02:06, 4 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CyberTroopers as that IP is not blocked here, or globally, this should be able to be resolved locally. You can request enwiki IPBE via their w:en:Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System. — xaosflux Talk 14:19, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Not done There is no global block on the IP in question, so global exemption won't be sufficient (despite its name, it doesn't make holders immune from all blocks, only global blocks, issued by a steward). Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:55, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Dušan Kreheľ (bot)

Status:    Not done

I have the VPS server on IP address 2a03:b0c0:3:d0::16f9:2001, and i wanna the change page. I got this message when changing.

Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis. The block was made by Sakretsu (meta.wikimedia.org). The reason given is Open proxy: See the help page if you are affected. * Start of block: 2022年1月21日 (金) 17:26 * Expiry of block: 2023年1月21日 (土) 17:26 Your current IP address is 2a03:b0c0:3:d0::16f9:2001 and the blocked range is 2A03:B0C0:3:D0:0:0:0:0/64. Please include all above details in any queries you make. If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the No open proxies global policy. Otherwise, to discuss the block please post a request for review on Meta-Wiki or send an email to the stewards VRT queue at "stewards@wikimedia.org" including all above details.

Thanks, --Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 07:03, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Dušan Kreheľ You can't be serious... I asked you a certain question in your previous (G)IPBE request below three times, without getting a reply. Instead, you withdrew the request, only to refill it within a couple of minutes. Let me ask it for the last time (future requests w/o an answer will be declined): "Which project(s) is this an issue at?"
@Dušan Kreheľ To nemůžeš myslet vážně... V tvé předchozí žádosti o výjimku jsem položil jasnou otázku, na kterou jsem zatím neobdržel odpověď. Namísto toho jsi žádost vzal zpět, abys ji mohl podat znovu. Položím svou otázku nyní naposledy (další žádosti bez odpovědi budou rovnou zamítnuté): Na jakém projektu se s tímto problémem potýkáš? Martin Urbanec (talk) 07:51, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: My message output is from zhwiki top.
Ten výpis je zo zhwiki. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 07:58, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dušan Kreheľ Not done V takovém případě musím žádost zamítnout. Tebou zmíněná IP adresa je na zhwiki zablokovaná také lokálně, a proto globální výjimka nepomůže. Doporučuji buď požádat o místní výjimku na čínské Wikipedii, anebo o přístup k Toolforge, pokud jej nemáš (editace z Toolforge jsou povolené na všech projektech Wikimedia). Děkuji za pochopení, Martin Urbanec (talk) 08:12, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ipblock-exempt for Dušan Kreheľ (bot)

Status:    Withdrawn

I wanna the IP block exempt for my bot Dušan Kreheľ (bot) to use even commercial VPS, thanks, --Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 18:05, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Dušan Kreheľ, can you please clarify which kind of an IP block exemption you need, the IP address of the VPS, and the project(s) your bot will be (or is) editing? Martin Urbanec (talk) 20:40, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: Tak IP6: 2A03:B0C0:3:D0:0:0:0:0/64. No predstavoval som si to tak, že aby to fungovalo univerzálne. Dostane to členstvo, a ten používateľ sa môže pristupovať z hocikadiaľ. A aby to pravidlo neobmedzovalo používateľa na žiadnu lokálnu Wikipédiu. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 17:19, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ahoj @Dušan Kreheľ, taková skupina bohužel neexistuje . Existují pouze místní/lokální výjimky z bloků, které fungují pouze na jednom konkrétním projektu, ale zato jsou účinné proti všem druhům bloků (ať už lokálním, nebo globálním). Pak existuje (trochu nešťastně pojmenovaná) globální výjimka, která sice funguje na všech projektech, ale zato funguje jen proti globálním blokům (tj. blokům, které nastavil některý steward). Abych Ti mohl pomoci, potřebuji vědět, na jakých projektech bot má v plánu editovat. Děkuji, Martin Urbanec (talk) 19:55, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Martin Urbanec: Ok. Tak ja chcem tu výnimku voči globálnym blockom. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 22:11, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dušan Kreheľ Výjimky jsou udělované v situacích, kdy jsou potřeba k vyřešení problému, ne ve chvílích, kdy někdo prohlásí, že "výjimku chce". Znovu opakuji otázku: Na jakých projektech s botem v tuto chvíli narážíš na problém? Martin Urbanec (talk) 23:41, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I stoping this request. You can close. Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 06:48, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
