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 Tropicalkitty
- Global user: Tropicalkitty (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 30 January 2024 01:50 UTC
I would like to request global rollback as I can no longer access SWViewer, despite having sufficient global edit counts and advanced permissions on mediawikiwiki (which led to local rollback at commons and one other project, with enwikibooks by automatic criteria). I have been monitoring some projects a bit more over some consecutive month than I have in the last few years. Tropicalkitty (talk) 01:50, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- After further thought, there is another reason I would like global rollback: for recent changes itself when I’m on a particular wiki (not in the app) and the page history of like my user space or something on multiple wikis (in the case of disruption). Tropicalkitty (talk) 04:55, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support, very trusted user who fights enwiki and cross-wiki vandalism. – 64andtim (talk) 03:49, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment I am also unable to access swviewer now but I'm thinking that global rollback shouldn't be needed for every user of that tool. Philipnelson99 (talk) 04:19, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment to the comment above: while I agree that not every user who fights cross-wiki vandalism needs the global rollback permission to use SWViewer, apart from having to have rollback on their local wiki, it looks like SWViewer is working alright for me. – 64andtim (talk) 04:23, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- (somewhat off-topic) Try logging in, in a different browser. You'll get hit with an error saying you need local or global permissions to use the tool and there's no way to get around it as far as I can tell. I think that is the motivator behind this request from @Tropicalkitty. Philipnelson99 (talk) 04:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Left a related bug issue on Talk:SWViewer. – 64andtim (talk) 04:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

- Support. كريم رائد (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Most of my initial request comment was probably not sufficient enough as a request for any permissions, so I apologize for that. I did mention that I was a bit more active throughout multiple consecutive months than I had over a few years where I was just doing activities at the MediaWiki (documentation wiki). I had made a follow-up a few hours later mentioning that I would like to request GR in the event I’m just checking a wiki in particular by recent changes and for edits in my user space by others that are obviously in bad intentions (when just looking at the page history itself). I had also requested GR because I felt I had sufficient cross-wiki activity. Tropicalkitty (talk) 22:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Global sysop for Fehufanga

Hi, I'm Fehufanga. I'm an active SWMT patroller, sysop on simplewiki and idwiktionary (itself a GS wiki). I often find the need to use admin actions on GS wikis such as deleting pages and blocking users, so I am here to request Global Sysop rights.

Global CAPTCHA exemption for TechnoSquirrel69
- Global user: TechnoSquirrel69 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Reinstating my previous request as I was just prompted to complete a CAPTCHA twice on the Japanese Wikipedia. I am still expanding the number of wikis I patrol when I do cross-wiki counter-vandalism, so it's likely that I'm going to continue to encounter this issue as I move into the larger wikis which have edit count requirements for autoconfirmed. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:41, 28 January 2024 (UTC)
- Some projects explicitly ask to increase their threshold for auto-confirmation, generally large projects with active communities (as jawiki would be). We are not looking to bypass their decisions with what is meant to be a flag for certain accessibility reasons. You may ask those projects to confirm you early. — xaosflux Talk 01:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hello again, Xaosflux! To be clear, I'm not trying to game autoconfirmed on a wiki that's passed edit count requirements, I'm sure I'll get to that point eventually. I'm just trying not to be encumbered by a spam-protection measure, which should be acceptable under the suggestions provided by the CAPTCHA exemptions policy/guideline. I'd hope at this point that I have enough of a track record that spamming's not a concern! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
