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 rename for Wealszy

Status:    Not done
Not ending before 16 May 2023 16:21 UTC

Hello. Necessary to respond to requests to change certain names and usernames on the local wiki. Wealszy (talk) 16:21, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak oppose because you haven’t given a reason of why you need/want the rights or why you are qualified to be granted them. You have ~9,000 contributions globally which I find to be quite low. In your request you also state that you want to “ change certain names and usernames on the local wiki.” You rename users globally, so that doesn’t make any sense. I would reapply again once you have over 10,000 global edits and when you are capable of explaining to the community that you are qualified and why you need the rights. Illusion Flame (talk) 22:07, 2 May 2023 (UTC) Neutral Neutral because there are translation issues that prevent me from accurately assessing the candidate. Illusion Flame (talk) 11:02, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    FWIW I don't think you can rightfully assess the (in)experience of a user with multiple thousands of edits just by checking their edit count against an idiosyncratic threshold, nor do I see why, were the user indeed inexperienced, this should magically change from a 10% increase in that number. As for the concern concerning the nomination, I pinged the user below for clarification and would advise against piling on before we get a response. ~~~~
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)     15:38, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    If we receive a response, I will happily change my !vote, but until then it stays. Illusion Flame (talk) 21:41, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @1234qwer1234qwer4: The respond we received says “I need this permission to rename articles” This isn’t even correct. Illusion Flame (talk) 01:25, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose, it’s not necessary, and there’s no reason for you to need the rights, especially when it’s not exactly the least damaging right. Zippybonzo (talk) 17:51, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Please give a valid reason. Tryvix t 15:21, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Adding a ping: @Wealszy, could you clarify what you plan to be working on and what your experience for this permission has been so far? ~~~~
    User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk)     15:26, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Comment Hello again. I need this permission to rename articles on wikis that need to be renamed, and to respond to username change requests. By local wiki, I mean a wiki in any foreign language (for example: enwiki). Wealszy (talk) 17:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Question Question: I like to give you the chance to explain your request a bit more (like 1234qwer1234qwer4), before that, before that I can't really make a fair decision. --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 15:39, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for AramilFeraxa

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 1 June 2023 18:28 UTC

Hello there! I am here to request global rename permissions. I would like to support other global renamers, especially Polish ones (there are only 3 + steward and in fact 2 of them are active), as one of us recently lost these permissions. I have read the global rename policy, I can also assure you of my activity in using these permissions. I am a sysop on plwiki and a rollbacker on several wikis.

Requests for global IP block exemption

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

 |domain    = global<!--don't change this line-->

Global IP block exempt for Tanbiruzzaman

Status:    In progress

I'm a member of Small Wiki Monitoring Team, I work against vandalism through SWviewer. and most of the time I use VPN to play games (because Pubg is banned in my country), so while working against vandalism on small wikis I face failed undo most of the times. When I investigated over this, i found the ip blocked. So to work properly against vandalism in small wiki without global ip block exception, i need the permission. thanks, --Tanbiruzzaman (talk) 21:59, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Huggums537

Status:    In progress

Hi. I edit English Wikipedia and Commons plus a couple others now and again. My concerns are security and privacy. The Wikimedia sites are the only ones that make me turn off my VPNs or use non privacy-masking browsers (such as TOR etc.). I have two lengthy blocks on my record, but both of those blocks required a standard checkuser investigation, and no evidence of sockpuppeting has ever been found because it is just something I don't do. I've been back in good standing for probably at least two years now, and I made good on my promise to create a new article (2 of them now in fact). Also, if it helps, I did gain additional user rights after my unblock so this should promote the idea I can be a trusted user. I promise to use the exemption responsibly as a show of my gratitude for my continuous security to be enabled. I have also requested the exemption via email at the local level on English Wikipedia, but want to cover my bases for other places I might edit as well. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 10:00, 9 May 2023 (UTC) Updated on 10:28, 9 May 2023 (UTC) Updated again on 21:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC) Updated one final time on 21:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Given the block history mentioned, I would be most comfortable moving forward here after the local IP block exemption flag is granted (and you are likely to encounter local blocks not covered by GIPBE anyway). --Base (talk) 10:05, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. Thanks for responding. I'm still waiting for a reply from my local CU's, and I believe many of them are familiar with my unblocking situation as well so I agree they will be best to grant exemption first also. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 14:24, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Base, how long should we wait to hear from my local CU's, and how long do these requests usually stay open here? I've seen a couple that have been on here since mid-late April, but I have no idea how long the backlog is on my local CU's list because we send in emails for the request or use this "UTRS" ticketing/server system that normal users aren't able to see. I'd like to keep this open until hearing from them since I have linked to this discussion as part of my request to my local CU's, and I'd like to keep them in the loop without breaking any chains if possible.

Hi! I'm requesting the global abuse filter helper permission because I would like to view various other wikis' (some of which do not have the abuse filter helper right) private filters in order to improve Wikimedia Commons' filters.
