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.
Hi, I am requesting global rollback permission. I have been helping track and report xwiki abusers for years and heavily engaged in patrolling across small wikis recently. It would be helpful if I were technically viewed as autoconfirmed globally and were exempted from captchas and abusefilters (in cases like seemingly "mass remove" when reverting disruptive mass addition). I am aware that the good way to use this tool is using it only on those extremely obvious vandalism that can be decided without knowledge of the language. Thanks for you consideration.--Tiger (talk) 23:34, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support: the performance on the zhwiki demonstrates that the applicant is highly trustworthy with ample experience shown in various edits in xwiki. —BorschtsTalk18:25, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

=== Global sysop 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|+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.
Hello everyone! I am active in Hebrew wikis and Small Wiki Monitoring Team. I am sysop and interface-admin at hewikisource and also global rollback. I would like to help in changing global names in Meta, in Hebrew wikis and in general... I have read the policy pages, and I secure my account properly (2FA). Thank you!

Question: Isn't I would like to help in changing global names in Meta... somewhat ambiguous? Global Rename is about renaming users. Could you please be more specific in your request about what you want to achieve by having this flag? ─ The Aafī(talk)13:05, 3 April 2023 (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

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 am a college student and so there are multiple other people located at this IP address. I am currently blocked because one of those people was vandalizing wiki, thanks, --— The preceding unsigned comment was added by MTRIProd (talk)
Please I'd like to request an IP block exemption as I get blocked on multiple occasions probably due to the IP of the country I'm based in. This has become a problem as it has interfered with my edits on several times, thanks, --Godstime Elijah (talk) 06:02, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did a local investigation on enwiki. You haven't been affected by a global block there for 3 months. They are all local blocks. You need to follow w:WP:IPBE. Global IPBE will not be able to help you in this matter. -- Amanda (she/her)19:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
