Steward requests/Global permissions
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 מקף
- Global user: מקף (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 29 October 2023 02:14 UTC
- Hi,I fight and revert cross-wiki vandalism, both as part of SWMT and randomly (= xwiki vandals I encounter when they pop-in the local projects I'm active in, as well as Wikiproject:Antispam, and somtimes even requests submitted on SR/G by anothers and still need help to be reverted).
Currently I can rollback only in some of the local projects I'm active in (HeWiki, Commons), and the permission will allow me to operate easily (and with similar efficient speed) in others as well.I know the policy and have read it carefully. If the permission is granted, I will make sure to use it carefully in clear cases of vandalism. In any other case I will continue to use the undo button or TwinkleGlobal, as usual.Thank you for your consideration, · מקף Hyphen ෴ · 02:14, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

- @Hi, thanks for the question. I will try to answer, at least from my perspective - it was a silly mistake that resulted from a lack of thought. I wanted to add a photo that received a commendation grade on a local community contest (And was taken by a fairly well-known Hebrew Wikipedian, along with many other pictures that were not related to the same subject), and I didn't think it might have the dimension of a slight apprehension for commercial advertising. To be clear - I have no interest in the subject of the photo and I don't even know what event is documented in it (only where). This photo seemed to me a nice and very high quality one, enough to put it into many article & langs. As soon as I saw that those edits were restored, I stopped, and when I realized the reason, I thanked one of the restorers (I myself hold fairly strict positions regarding publishing as well as conflict of interest/paid editing.).

Global rename for Moheen

- User: Moheen (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 2 November 2023 21:21 UTC
Hi folks, I'd like to nominate myself as a global renamer. I made my first request in 2017 and served as a member of the global renamer until 2022 and helped 38 users change their names. My right was revoked as I was unexpectedly busy with personal and mental reasons during the pandemic. There is regular traffic on our local request page, and I would like to help aswiki, bpywiki and satwiki as well. I'm aware of all relevant GRP policies as well as their scope. Since 2010, I have been an active Wikimedian on several projects (sometimes as SWMT member), and currently have sysop rights on Bengali Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons; additionally serving as a VRT agent. Thanks. ~Moheen (keep talking) 21:22, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

{{s}} LGTM, welcome back --DannyS712 (talk) 00:45, 21 October 2023 (UTC)- In light of the user's new indef block on enwiki, I have been forced to reconsider. On the one hand, global renaming is entirely separate from copyright rules and there is no indication that I have seen that the renaming rights were misused previously. But, it does speak to the user's ability to follow policies. Unlike most cases where someone is requesting advanced rights, here the user has a clear track record with those exact rights that can be used to evaluate the request. The closest parallel that comes to mind is w:Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Floquenbeam 2/Bureaucrat chat - given a history of using the rights properly, if that can be used to outweigh objections over recent actions. To me, I believe that despite the indef block (which the requesting user here has not yet responded to on enwiki) it should not prevent Moheen from carrying out global renames, but I'm reducing my support to a Weak support in light of the block. --DannyS712 (talk) 19:17, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

- Strong oppose After observing this user for the last several years both on and offwiki and working with them in the same community, even in the same geographic region allowed me to get an in depth idea of this user's behavior that is quite problematic. A user, who got blocked on enwiki three times in the last ten years should get enough time and chance to rethink of their approach (Though how a user who got blocked indef for violating a basic rule of wp like CV on enwiki is still the sysop on another language wp and even on commons where CV can be fatal, can be of another discussion in the relevant wikis or even on meta if needed). Aside from the enwiki indefinite block, their abuse of advanced rights in several wikis, nitpicking, newcomer biting (which may be harmful if this user is granted global rename rights), abusive offwiki behavior left me only one option and that is a strong oppose. I hope that they take a few more years to regain the broken trust and keep satisfactory track record of good editing and then they can apply for advanced rights later. -- BIDROHI Hello.. 13:51, 26 October 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)
I noticed this hasn't been answered in a very long while. Am I not allowed to make a new request based on a previous request by simply linking to the previous request if nothing has changed?

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)
- 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…
