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.

Global rollback for 511KeV

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 18 November 2023 17:54 UTC

Hello, I'm actively volunteering with the SWMT to combat cross-wiki vandalism. While I currently utilize the undo button to address instances of vandalism across various projects, its effectiveness diminishes in cases of multiple edit vandalism. Hence, I am seeking access to the global rollback tool to enhance my capabilities in anti-vandalism efforts. I understand the importance of using this tool judiciously and commit to doing so. Drawing from my experience on En Wiki and Ks Wiki, I am confident in navigating its usage responsibly. I pledge to adhere strictly to the guidelines outlined in the Global rollback policy, recognizing that any misuse may lead to the revocation of these rights and, in severe cases, result in a block. Thankyou. signed, 511KeV (talk) 17:54, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for LR0725

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 22 November 2023 05:54 UTC

Hello, I am here to request global sysop permission. I'm now working for global rollbacker, Korean Wikipedia sysop, and Korean Wikisource sysop. When dealing with many LTAs, I feel that I need to block that LTA accounts or IPs or protect pages on small wikis, which are vulnerable for vandalism especially.

Also, I am patrolling all the other Korean Wikimedia projects (wiktionary, wikiquote, wikibooks, and wikinews) regularly, and LTAs at Korean Wikipedia sometimes make vandalism on other projects, too. There is 1 sysop for each projects, but kowiktionary doesn't have any sysop currently. It is hard to create appropriate admin vote as there is no active user now, so I want to patrol small wikis and Korean Wikimedia projects by gaining global sysop permission. Thanks for your consideration!

You can see my works as sysop if you want: kowiki, kowikisource. --LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 05:55, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I read GS page several times and enabled 2FA. Thanks! LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 06:13, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there an update on this? UTRS has seen no changes yet AmandaNP apparently tried to change blocks of the relevant IP range. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:GlobalBlockList?ip=154.49.0.0%2F16

For context: The IP range of a /16 subnet was moved to a German ISP blocking every customer that receives an IP from this subnet.

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]
We would need to know more about what block is affecting you. If you wish not to disclose your IP, please use UTRS for accounts. -- Amanda (she/her) 13:51, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I think this is the block that affect me:
[1]
I’ve posted at UTRS as instructed, I can’t find it’s link to my appeal to post here though. Dustfreeworld (talk) 15:00, 3 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dustfreeworld: I don't see any blocks that affect accounts. They only affect you logged out. -- Amanda (she/her) 15:48, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes that global block I mentioned above doesn’t affect me anymore on English Wikipedia now (when logged in). It did affect me previously. It seems that the block was modified on 4 Sep after my post above, please see: [2]. On a side note, I never have access to the Wikipedia Library even when logged in. Also, I can never edit the Chinese Wikipedia (no matter logged in or logged out); there seems to be more than one/two blocks over my IP range. Thanks again for the help :) Dustfreeworld (talk) 09:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, these local blocks (English Wikipedia), anon. only, which affected my IP range seemed to have expired recently on 28 Oct. So now only the block from Chinese Wikipedia and the modified global block are acting on my IP range. I’m not sure I understand fully the differences between the different blocks. It looks complex to me. But I’m fine now as long as I can edit the English Wikipedia :) I’m not keen on editing the Chinese Wikipedia, though it would also be great if I can help translating some articles. And access to the Wikipedia Library is of course a plus. Dustfreeworld (talk) 16:51, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
BTW I tried editing a page on the Chinese Wikipedia and this is the block ID: #370824 . Dustfreeworld (talk) 17:01, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do please note that global IPBEs do not exempt you from local blocks (see zh:WP:GIPBE). You will have to apply for local IPBEs to edit on enwiki and zhwiki if your IP address is locally blocked there. LuciferianThomas 02:58, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have recently had to use VPN and Proxy to contribute because the internet connection where I live is inherently poor and often intermittent. Because of using VPN, many times when I access projects I cannot edit them (Except for Vietnamese Wikipedia). I wish I was granted this permission so that I can contribute to many global projects of the organization. Thank you! --Meiko 10:04, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
