Steward requests/Global permissions

Shortcut:
SRGP

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.

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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

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 sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.

Please note that Global sysops 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 a global account ;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).

 |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.

Requests for global rename permissions

Shortcut:
SRGREN

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.

}}
:''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''

While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.

Requests for global IP block exemption

Shortcut:
SRIPBE

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

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 stewards

wikimedia.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

Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:

You have a global account ;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

To request global IP block exemption: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.

}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~

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.

Global IP block exempt for Heffalump1974

Status: In progress

Global user: Heffalump1974 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

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]

2FA Tester for Jsooter

Status: Not done

Global user: Jsooter (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

To increase the security of my account, I request access to 2FA. I use 1Password to store 2FA codes (it prompted this request).

2FA Tester for Snowmanonahoe

Status: Done

Global user: Snowmanonahoe (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

I have read the help page. You don’t have to read the rest of this ramble, it’s just a funny story. I’ve recently discovered that for 3 years, a recycled password from when I was dumb and lazy that is also the password to my password manager and my email account—both of which had no other safeguards—has been exposed in a data breach of Club Penguin for multiple years. I never even noticed I was using a recycled password once I started caring about account security because my browser always autofilled it. None of my accounts on any site that matters to me have been hacked ever. To thank The Gods Of Web Security for their blessing, I’m frantically turning on 2FA on as many websites as possible. Thanks, --Snowmanonahoe (talk) 03:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done -- Amanda (she/her) 05:25, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global AFH for Fehufanga

Status: In progress

Global user: Fehufanga (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Hello, I am here to request the Global Abuse Filter Helper rights. I am an admin on the Simple English Wikipedia (a Wiki covered by the GAF), where I have created and maintained abuse filters, an admin on the Indonesian Wiktionary, which has only nine local abuse filters and relies on the GAF, and an abuse filter helper on the English Wikipedia. I also do cross-wiki patrolling for vandalism and sometimes I'd encounter an account blocked for tripping an abuse filter. It would be useful to me to see the edit filters that the user triggered, especially if they are LTA filters. Thank you for your consideration. ----*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 06:52, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
