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).

- Global user: Bukky658 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Per UTRS #75447 --DeltaQuadBot (talk) 12:00, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- I kindly write to follow up with my appeal for a Global IP Block exemption. Bukky658 (talk) 15:35, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Xiaoluobo58
- Global user: Xiaoluobo58 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
由于身在中国,不得不使用代理,本人需要用维基数据添加页面描述,麻烦通过,谢谢--Xiaoluobo58 (talk) 10:35, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Xiaoluobo58: You already have a Wikidata IPBE. Do you still need this? -- Amanda (she/her) 07:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Xiaoluobo58, can you please answer Amanda's question above please? For the record, local IPBE's a stronger permission than the global exemption. If you're still seeing a block error, please share the error message here, so we can better assist you. Thanks! Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:16, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for 慕尼黑啤酒
- Global user: 慕尼黑啤酒 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I encountered problems when adding Interlanguage links, and I couldn't access wikidata, so need to request for Global IP block exempt. --慕尼黑啤酒 (talk) 00:55, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
- @慕尼黑啤酒: Exact same thing as above, you have local IPBE. Do you still need this? -- Amanda (she/her) 08:02, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- @AmandaNP: Yes, I need global permission, thanks.--慕尼黑啤酒 (talk) 09:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- @慕尼黑啤酒: Fair, but why though? -- Amanda (she/her) 14:42, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- @AmandaNP: As I said above, I can't access to www.wikidata.org, so I can't add Interlanguage links, which is a problem for my daily editing and translation work. I'm guessing it's because I'm missing some sort of permission?--慕尼黑啤酒 (talk) 00:47, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- What is the error? Because you have local IPBE. You can't do better than local IPBE. -- Amanda (she/her) 01:51, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @慕尼黑啤酒, can you answer Amanda's question above please? For the record, local IP block exemption is "stronger" than the global one, and if the local IPBE didn't resolve the issue, it's likely something else plays a role. Please share the error message here please, so we can assist you better. Thanks! Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:15, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Hyruspex
- Global user: Hyruspex (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I keep being blocked randomly (not all the time) when I use my phoen to download photos during events. As I very often use my phoe connection to contribute I request a global IP exempt block, thanks, --Hyruspex (talk) 17:38, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- As with others, we need more explanation of the block you are facing. Please file a UTRS ticket or email the stewards. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:14, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Hyruspex Hi, pinging you in case you didn't see Amanda's reply. I'll be closing your request as not done if no further explanation is mentioned. If the reason need to stay private, please email stewards@wikimedia.org (and ideally, put the ticket ID here, so we can easily find the mail -- ticket ID should come via an automated email). Thanks! Martin Urbanec (talk) 11:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- Pinging @Nattes à chat instead, as the requestor got renamed in the meantime. Martin Urbanec (talk) 12:13, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for SIR SUCCESS (NAA JAHINFO)
- Global user: SIR SUCCESS (NAA JAHINFO) (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
<Add an explanation here> As a dedicated Wikimedian (SIR SUCCESS - NAA JAHINFO), I seek IP block exemption to ensure uninterrupted contributions on Wikipedia. With a positive track record, responsible usage, and commitment to security, this exemption will enable me to contribute seamlessly and uphold the platform's integrity. , thanks, --SIR SUCCESS (NAA JAHINFO) (talk) 00:01, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- We don't just hand out GIPBE. You will need to specify why you need it. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:12, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Yusancky
- Global user: Yusancky (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello. Since I'm from China, I can only access Wikipedia through a proxy server. About two months ago, I successfully applied for blocking exemption for the Chinese Wikipedia, and later I was autoconfirmed. Here, I would like to request global IP blocking exemption to correct and improve part of the English Wikipedia about spaceflight. Thanks. --Yusancky (talk) 12:22, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Yusancky: A global exemption will not help you on the English Wikipedia. They block proxies a lot more than we do globally. GIPBE only affects global blocks, where local IPBE affects local and global blocks. My suggestion is you apply for it locally. -- Amanda (she/her) 17:43, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
Global IP Block Exempt for Will Thompson

Global IP block exempt for Huggums537
- Global user: Huggums537 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello. I was finally granted the exemption on my home enWiki, and I had also previously requested here, but the request here went dormant due to the long backlog at my home Wiki. My request here was dependent on getting approval on my home Wiki. I'm resubmitting my request here on the same premise as the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 12:15, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
I think it might also be a good idea to ping @Base and Vermont: since they participated in the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
I guess I should add that there have been no changes since the previous request. I still travel for work on public wifi with the same concerns for security and privacy mentioned in the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 06:49, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

I would like to further secure my wikipedia account.

I'd like to add MFA feature to my wikimedia account to ensure that the access to my account will be solidly secured. I've read the information of H:2FA and fully understood the risk of losing access to my account if my MFA device is lost or in-accessible. Thanks in advance. --HotaruTalk 20:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
