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.

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.

Global sysop for Renvoy

Status:    In progress

Hi folks! It had been a year since I have unsuccessfully requested global sysop rights, however much has changed in the past year. I have been appointed to the Ombuds commission by the WMF and gained more admin experience since I am again a temporary admin on ukwiki. I am continuing to do much cross-wiki patrolling and spam seeking. Global sysop rights would have helped massively in my work. Thanks.--reNVoy (user talk) 10:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse filter helper for Count Count

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 11:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

I am an admin and former arb on dewiki and familiar with abuse filters having written and modified a few, though that was some time ago. Now that global filters are being applied on dewiki I would like to help with any problems that occur in particular investigating false positives or suggesting improvements. I have read Abuse filter helpers. --Count Count (talk) 11:02, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global interface editor for Matma Rex

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Done
Not ending before 21:10, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Here we go again. I am a MediaWiki developer and I use these rights occasionally to fix local on-wiki styles and scripts to keep them compatible with software changes. A recent example: phab:T325391#8659336. My previous requests: [1]. Thanks. Matma Rex (talk) 21:10, 7 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Granted for 2 years to expire on 2025-07-13. --Mykola 13:11, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Abusefilter maintainer for Daimona Eaytoy

Status:    In progress

I was appointed last year, but the membership expired a few months ago. I am therefore applying again, for the same reasons as last time: according to the AbuseFilter dashboard on logstash, there are several filters that need to be fixed/tweaked. I would use my rights to make maintenance edits as needed, without behaviour changes. I might also use them for maintenance edits to global filters, though I'm planning to make an RfA for that, because I might also have to change the behaviour for some of them (e.g., to avoid false positives). I fulfill the requirements given that I am an administrator on my home wiki (itwiki), have created/maintained a bunch of filters there, and have made lots of contributions to the AF codebase (although I'd no longer say I'm an active maintainer). Thanks, --Daimona Eaytoy (talk) 16:36, 8 July 2023‎ (UTC)[reply]
