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. I contribute trwiki (sysop, CU), wikidata and meta (GR). Also I am using SWViewer for monitoring small wikis and reverting vandalism. Especially I need this flag for small wikis which I did not get any confirmed rights. Sometimes I get trouble. Thanks for your comments. Vincent Vega msg?12:24, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Of course it is Yahya I am an active renamer. The problem is when I try to use SWViewer I can not revert vandalism. So that times I needed this flag, especially on small wikis. I am using it when I available not always. If you say these edits are not too much, I can understand. Vincent Vega msg?17:18, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I know, because I have used tool for a bit more than 1 year. But in some wikis especially small ones I can not revert edits via SWViewer. Nowadays these errors' frequency rised, that's why I am here. My intention is avoiding abuse filter preventation or CAPTCHA validation. Vincent Vega msg?18:48, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Although the user definitely has limited cross-wiki experience in regard to fighting vandalism, all such edits were okay and I generally believe that the user is trusted enough for this rights--reNVoy(user talk)19:30, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

:''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.

:''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.
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 want to add a passkey (that is, WebAuthn) to my account as a second-factor, in lieu of the ability to use it as a primary factor. Due to the nature of passkeys, I am not at risk of losing the key anymore than than I am of losing my password. See this task for context on that.--Saklad5 (talk) 18:08, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NB: For WebAuthn, if your physical authentication device (i.e. Yubikey) is lost or broken, it's really troublesome to get it reset. Stang18:37, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I got a notice on Wikiquote called "There have been multiple failed attempts to log in to your account from a new device since the last time you logged in. If it wasn't you, please make sure your account has a strong password.", it seemed someone tried to hack in my account, I need 2FA to ensure security, thanks, --Lemonaka (talk) 20:42, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.

Support – User already holds several advanced permissions, which shows they can be trusted. –FlyingAce✈hello 03:49, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
