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.

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

:''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.
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}}}} ===

:''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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.
Hi all, I would like to help with rename requests. I am a sysop on zh.wikipedia (permanent) and zh.wikinews (temporary), and am mainly active on the zh (Chinese) Wikimedia projects. Currently there are only 6 global renamers who can understand "zh": two of them are only zh-1, and most of the remaining ones are not enough active on zh projects to deal with the renaming requests on zh:WP:UC, and thus such requests on zhwiki would mostly have to be forward to meta (for example Special:Diff/23451181). Furthermore, since not all zh users are able to read and/or write in English, with an active zh-speaking global renamer their needs could be served better. I am aware of the policy on username and rename on zhwiki and globally, and I will not misuse the tool. Thanks for your consideration.- Peacearth (talk) 13:14, 23 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.
Instructions for making a request

=== Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===

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'm ru-wiki sysop and has modest contribution in wikidata. Due to some personal issues, my only machine capable of debugging wikidata scripts is a VM hosted at Hetzner with an IP address in the globally blocked range 65.21.0.0/16. IP-Block-Exempt will definitely help me here, thanks, --Ghuron (talk) 16:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, apparently I need a longer version. I am #19 in wikidata top contributors list. I am loading a lot of statements to wikidata using publicly available databases. In order to do that I need a couple of scripts, that utilize wikidata API. Normally I run those scripts under labs account, but sometimes I have to debug them on a windows machine that is capable enough to run PyCharm. As a Russian citizen, who don't want to sponsor Putin's aggression against Ukraine, I had to move to the EU. At the moment the only powerful machine available at my disposal is a windows VM hosted at Hetzner (this message I'm typing on my chromebook, that is too weak to run python). This VM is legitimately blocked as a part of 65.21.0.0/16 range, because normal users aren't supposed to edit from the hosting machine. Unfortunately my request for local (wikidata) IPBlock-exempt request was rejected by @Stang, because he believes it violates local policy. I'm not familiar with those policies, so I'm asking for a global flag here. Ghuron (talk) 18:23, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest this global right not be used to circumvent local policy. Since you only seem to need it for Wikidata, a local flag there would indeed be the way to go. ~~~~ User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)12:31, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Reply that you were sent back from this page stating that for an exempt for 1 project, you need to be on that project and not here. Mbch331 (talk) 13:46, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, i'd like to request GIPBE because my home is using the ISP which is their IP range blocked globally (182.253.0.0/16). It would be helpful as i sometimes contributing across Wikimedia Project. Thanks, --Veracious (talk) 06:26, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
