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 rollback for Count Count
- Global user: Count Count (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 1 September 2023 14:00 UTC
Hi all! I would like to request global rollback rights for my crosswiki anti-vandalism and anti-spam work. While fighting spam I won't frequently use rollback, but the autoreviewrestore right is still beneficial for manual reverts in projects that use flagged revisions. For anti-vandalism work global rollback is very helpful for reverting high-velocity crosswiki vandals. Also I am getting a bit tired of filling out captchas.
I am a sysop and ex-arb on dewiki, rollbacker on enwiki and wikidata and global abuse filter helper. I have reviewed the global rollback policy. Thanks, --Count Count (talk) 14:00, 27 August 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)

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!

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)
- Thank you very much! I've applied for it locally. Yusancky (talk) 14:51, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
- Handled locally. — xaosflux Talk 13:09, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

- @人间百态: I have granted you IPBE flag locally, please check if it works well. Stang 13:07, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for giving me IPBE flag but I still apply for GIPBE. This is because I now need GIPBE for anti-sabotage on other sites.--人间百态,独尊变态(讨论) 07:22, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

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 local enWiki, and I had also previously requested here, but the request here went dormant due to the long backlog at my local Wiki. My request here was dependent on getting approval on my local 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)

Abuse filter helper for zzuuzz
- Global user: zzuuzz (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 20:16, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Hi. I'm mostly active on enwiki, where I'm an admin and checkuser. I usually find myself dealing with long term abuse and chronic disruption, much of which is cross-wiki. To help with this I'm requesting non-temporary global AFH in order to view filters and filter hits from other wikis. This will mostly be useful in informing sockpuppet investigations with a cross-wiki element and helping counter cross-wiki abuse. I've a lot of experience with the enwiki abuse filter, and I'm thinking there might also be some scope for some cross-wiki filter suggestions or coordination. Thanks. ---- zzuuzz (talk) 20:16, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
