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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS
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 sysops policy.

}}
:''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.

While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.

Global rename for DreamRimmer

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 12 January 2024 15:48 UTC


Hello everyone, I withdrew my previous request 80 days ago to gain more experience and make improvements. Now, I am reapplying for the global rename rights. I would like to assist with requests from English and Indic wikis as well as Meta. I am well-informed about the global and local username rename policies and assure you that I will use this tool responsibly. I hope to have your support for this request. Thank you! – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:48, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question Question: What kind of rename experience do you have? I'm still not seeing any particular experience in the area, and while I'm not opposed because of a lack of current admin rights, I'm not sure I see any demonstrated need here for global renamer rights. I've looked through rename pages on your top projects (which is enwiki and meta? hiwiki doesn't seem to have a dedicated rename page unless I'm not seeing it) and you have zero contributions to en:Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or en:Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. EggRoll97 (talk) 18:14, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am familiar with the global and local rename policies. Since I am not a renamer, it doesn't make sense for me to handle or comment on en:Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple or en:Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations. I regularly clerk at en:WP:UAA and also help with bot false positive reports. Additionally, I observe from rename logs. As you mentioned the demonstrated need, I have been actively looking to help in rename requests for many months. – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:47, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of rename experience, I am not currently a renamer, and I haven't processed any requests yet. However, I possess knowledge about usernames and the rename process. For instance, I understand what kinds of usernames are acceptable and what kinds are not. While Hiwiki doesn't have a dedicated venue for renames, I am willing to assist with any Indic requests in the queue. – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:57, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Weak support I'm convinced you probably know what you're doing, and you do have both cross-wiki experience and specific experience at UAA, but Simple and Usurpations do have clerking instructions, and I can't strengthen the support any more without at least some experience in those areas. Given that global renamer isn't exactly wiki-breaking stuff here, I don't see a need to be a sysop to have it. Helps, but probably shouldn't be necessary.

Global rename for Ingenuity

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 19 January 2024 16:07 UTC

Hello! I'm Ingenuity, an administrator on enwiki, and I'd like to request this permission mainly to deal with unblock requests (though I may assist with the general queue as well). Our unblock backlog has been growing for a while now, and many of the requests require a rename to handle. I have a good understanding of both the global rename policy as well as enwiki's local username policy. Thanks, Ingenuity (talk) 16:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Bradv

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 21 January 2024 03:33 UTC

I am an administrator, checkuser, and oversighter on enwiki and I would like this right to be able to help with unblock requests. Currently, requests involving a rename are the only ones I cannot help with. I am familiar with the global and local username policies. I hope it's not a problem that I have had very little involvement on other wikis, but if it helps I am trying to learn both Spanish and French. Thank you for considering me. – bradv🍁 03:33, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Meiko21

Status:    On hold

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]

We would need more details and it would likely involve us needing to speak about details you would not want public. Either a UTRS request or an email would be appropriate. -- Amanda (she/her) 15:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Jasskurn

Status:    In progress

I'm located in the UK. I use a VPN and therefore can not edit. I'm asking for an exemption for the following reasons. The reason I use a VPN is due to British Legislation - [Powers Act 2016] which is now coming into effect. As the Wiki page shows, the legislation forces British ISP's to record and store for 1 year, all internet traffic metadata. The data is in practice easily accessible by a vast range of British organisations from National Crime Agency to the Welsh Ambulance service. An effective loophole means the data recording rules don't apply to VPNs. I have personal reasons for not having my wiki editing to to be recorded. I also do not trust my ISP to securely store this data. I'm am happy to explain the personal reasons if they are not recorded here.

All previous data I have added is linked to contributions to OpenStreetMap, and OpenStreetMaps use of wikidata and commons for extra info links. My account on OpenStreetMap is JassKurn , thanks, --Jasskurn (talk) 16:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
