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 -revi

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 25 March 2023 19:40 UTC

When I was resigning, I forgot to request my pre-steward global permissions to be restored. I don't recall if there is any precendent for this kind of request but I'm making a new request just to be safe. (If stewards thinks this can go through, feel free.) — regards, Revi 19:40, 20 March 2023 (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.

 |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|+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.

2FA Tester for Cjbulow

Status:    In progress

<Add an explanation here>, I always enable 2FA for any account I have on any site if it's available; this protects me as well as the site. Could you enable this for this Wiki account, thanks, --Cjbulow (talk) 15:52, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cjbulow, have you read the Help:Two-factor authentication page? --Base (talk) 02:03, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like to have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, it makes it less likely for my account to be compromised, which is good for me and the sites I use. Thank you! --TheSaneWriter (talk) 00:16, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @TheSaneWriter, can you please confirm you've read the help page and are familiar with the risks it mentions (namely that you might lose access to your account should you lose both your 2FA device and the scratch codes)? Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:51, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
