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.

 |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.

 |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.

Global IP block exempt for Heffalump1974

Status:    In progress

Being a bilingual Russian- & Ukrainian-speaking Ukrainian citizen I have to use VPN to work with certain Russian web-sites, during these periods Wikipedia' security system stops me from making edits. Five years ago I have alreay asked some of your Stewards to let me write here without using that stupid mode "VPN ON, checking some ru-sites, VPN OFF, editing, repeat ad libitum". I wonder if checking my WP-Loyalty (kidding) takes such a long period. Have you finally come to any conclusion, pls do inform me about it. Mind that I'm only a humble editor/translator, and I do not understand your specific terms and procedures, just tell me if it is possible for me to continue my edits without being block and where should I sign my name with blood (kidding again). Heffalump1974 (talk) 23:19, 11 April 2023 (UTC) P.S. I don't know the meaning of "...changed global group membership for Heffalump1974 from (none) to global-ipblock-exempt (Special:Permalink/17681404, for one year", 'cause after that nothing has changed that year.[reply]

@Heffalump1974: Global IP block exemption only helps with global IP blocks. As far as I know many proxys are being blocked locally at ruwiki – global IP block exemption wouldn't help there. If you couldn't edit using VPN during your year with global IP block exemption you might need a local exemption. Per ru:Википедия:Исключение из IP-блокировок it seems you need to ask at ru:Википедия:Проверка участников/Запросы на флаг ipblock-exempt Johannnes89 (talk) 05:53, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for User:冷傲绅士

Status:    In progress

I am an internet user based in China. Accessing Wikimedia-related websites in China requires the use of VPN or proxy. However, these tools may be blocked or restricted, and I may encounter difficulties in accessing and editing content on Wikimedia sites. Therefore, I am requesting a global IP ban exemption from Wikimedia so that I can access Wikimedia sites and edit related content when necessary. I promise to comply with all Wikimedia policies and regulations, and to make every effort to protect the content and resources on Wikimedia sites, refrain from any harmful behavior, and not interfere with other users' use. I am well aware that obtaining a global IP ban exemption is a serious responsibility and privilege, and I will not abuse this exemption and will actively contribute to the Wikimedia community. --冷傲绅士 (talk) 07:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
