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.

 |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.

 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = meta.wikimedia <!-- 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|+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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.

Global IP block exempt for Huggums537

Status:    In progress

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Dustfreeworld

Status:    In progress

I cannot edit any page anymore even though I’ve logged in. I’m the main contributor of the page Coco Lee but can’t edit it now. Please help, thanks! --Dustfreeworld (talk) 22:58, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there just a bit more information. I don’t have broadband access at home and I mostly edit on mobile (4G). I don’t use proxies. There might be once or twice that I forgot to log in and edited as IPs, but all other edits were made as a logged-in user.
And now that I can’t edit anymore (except here at meta), should I try using public Wi-Fi? Would that affect my request here? That’s very inconvenient anyway, because I’m not sure which public wifi would work, and that means I can’t edit at home…
Thanks again. Dustfreeworld (talk) 11:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
