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}}}} ===
{{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 rollback for Fehufanga

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 28 September 2022 12:26 UTC

Hello, I'm Fehufanga, and I'm requesting global rollback rights. Often, when I am patrolling the recent changes on the English Wikipedia or the Simple English Wikipedia, I'd encounter problematic users whose edits need to be reverted across multiple projects. Global rollback would be very useful to me, as I often encounter CAPTCHAs when reverting edits, or TwinkleGlobal fails to load. I will not use global rollback in content disputes. Thank you for your consideration.--*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 12:26, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Stang

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 24 September 2022 23:22 UTC 30 September 2022 23:22 UTC
I have gone ahead and extended the discussion period as true discussion did not start until the 16th September, almost a week after the nomination was placed. -- Amanda (she/her) 08:52, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Language: zh-N, en-2
  • Personal info: Hello everyone, this is Stang, I'm here to request global-sysop access to help with blocking LTAs and spambots on small wikis, protecting related vandalized pages, rollbacking edit tests, and apparent vandalism.
I have been editing Wikipedia since 2015 and my home wiki is Chinese Wikipedia. I'm also active on many other big or small projects, where I mainly perform maintenance works, translate multilingual pages, and do a small amount of content contribution. I hold rollback flags on multiple sites, which is helpful when performing mass rollback on a particular user's edits. Speaking about experiences related to waving a mop, I have been a sysop on the Chinese Wikipedia from 2016 till 2021, and currently a sysop on the Beta Wikiversity (since 2016), Wikidata, and MediaWiki wiki (both since this year). Although the experience related to performing administrative actions is not enough compared to other previous candidates, I feel that I have sufficient ability to identify vandalism and spam, and I know what to do when such bad kinds of stuff come into my eye.
During the past year, I made a number of requests on GSR page, and left some messages on the GS IRC channel. Sometimes it's not that easy to reach an online GS, and I thought in such cases I could give a hand. I use tools like SWViewer and TwinkleGlobal to quickly spot suspicious edits; most of the time when I am online, I could be reached in channel #wikimedia-stewards and #wikimedia-gs. I am also willing to process some simple requests posted on SRM.
I have read and understand policy restricted GS's scope, and have 2FA enabled on my account; for transparency, I was affected by a recent office action. Thanks. Stang 23:22, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Dancewithdevil

Status:    In progress

Hello. I need this right because of some existing problem with my internet and in order to continue to contribute. Of course, I problem a lot without this right. I request your evaluation. Good days. Thanks. Kind regards, Dancewithdevil (talk) 15:27, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dancewithdevil, could you clarify how are these rights supposed to help you with your internet problems? --Base (talk) 22:56, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Base, I am using VPN. Dancewithdevil (talk) 23:25, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The current block on azwiki is concerning for me to consider block exemption. Since Wikipedia doesn't allow anonymizing proxies or VPNs, I advise you to try turning your VPN off to resolve the issue. If there is a reason you require the VPN to access Wikimedia projects, please contact the Stewards on UTRS. Operator873 connect 07:54, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Operator873, the block has nothing to do with it. The block was unfounded and almost all the admins objected to it, and then the blocker reduced the time. You can look. Actually, I had this right on the local wikipedia for a long time, but it was unfoundedly taken from me. I made a request and my reasons were unfounded and ignored. Understanding was not shown and the right was not given to me. I don't know the reason either. I use VPN because my internet has access restrictions. So I use VPN most of the time and I contribute to more than one Wikipedia project. In short, I need this right in order to continue my contributions. P.S. I have this right on Tr Wikipedia. You can check. Thanks. Dancewithdevil (talk) 10:57, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Base, Operator873, what should I do now? I already told you the reason. What will you decide? Dancewithdevil (talk) 11:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Base, can you have a look here too? Dancewithdevil (talk) 14:41, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure about your case so I would prefer for other people to take a look. --Base (talk) 11:17, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Guyuan66

Status:    In progress

I am in Chinese Mainland, and the circumvention tool I am using has been blocked by the IP of your platform, and I hope to obtain immunity from IP blocking

What projects are you going to edit? Ruslik (talk) 09:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for 不慎言行非法师魔女

Status:    In progress

This is a request on behalf of the user concerned. This user want to add interwiki links to Wikidata but IP is globally blocked (as an open proxy). The user can not edit Meta-Wiki either. Note previous request at Steward_requests/Global_permissions/2020-09#Global_IP_block_exempt_for_慎言慎行老法师. The user is currently blocked in scowiki but can not appeal there either because of the global block.--GZWDer (talk) 16:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@不慎言行非法师魔女: I grant you IPBE flag on wikidata. If you need to edit other projects, this request could be kept opening. Stang 16:56, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
