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}}}} ===

 |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 rename for Hide on Rosé

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 26 February 2024 13:04 UTC

Hi everyone. I'm Hide on Rosé, orginally known as Vanhdeeptryy and Tryvix1509. Currently I'm a eliminator at vi.wikipedia and a global rollbacker. Previously I served as a VRT member (info-vi and permissions). I would like to help at local request for username change at viwiki, and therefore I’m requesting for the global renamer right. Per Administration page, viwiki has 3 global renamers, but Alphama has resignated as a sysop, so he is less active on viwiki request page; Trần Nguyễn Minh Huy's right has been removed due to inactivity. NhacNy2412 is the only active user on viwiki, but not very often, because she is also busy writing new articles, editing and doing other maintenance tasks. Therefore, I would like to be granted this right in order to help, not only at viwiki but also all Wikimedia communities. My language knowledge: vi-N, en-3, ko-0. Should you have any questions, let me know. Thanks! Hide on Rosé t 13:04, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2FA Tester for Jklamo

Status:    In progress

I want to secure my account because I've had experienced several attempts to take control of my account (most recently on wikidata). I also use 2FA on all important projects. I have read the rules and accept all risks. Thanks. --Jklamo (talk) 17:26, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jklamo just want to check in, appears you may be using your account for (semi)automated editing on wikidata, if you are using the API it will break unless you configure botpasswords or an oauth consumer. OK? (You can always disable your 2FA if it breaks things for you as well from the webui). — xaosflux Talk 19:55, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux You are right, I am using (semi)automated editing on wikidata. I'll check the tools I'm using to see if it's convenient to start using them with a bot or if they support ouath consumer, and let you know then. Jklamo (talk) 09:00, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTCHA exemption for Tmv

Status:    In progress

Hi all, I often use Twinke to rollback vandalism on several wikis, and in the process, I am sometimes prevented from smooth rollback by CAPTCHA annoyingly; for instance, on zhwiki, nowiki, itwiki and cawiki most recently, and you can find my edits using "undo" feature to enter the CAPTCHA on some of them. So I'd like to request CAPTCHA exemption (I think GR is not necessary for me right now). Thanks, --Tmv (talk) 11:09, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like you are having this problem primarily on projects that explicitly asked to not confirm people early, this accessibility feature isn't really for bypassing these local controls. — xaosflux Talk 15:08, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Xaosflux okay, so there's no way to avoid CAPTCHA except requesting confirmed flag on each wikis? --Tmv (talk) 11:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTCHA exemption for The Squirrel Conspiracy

Status:    In progress

I'm an admin on Commons and work heavily in closing DRs. CommonsDelinker has been down since the 15th and has periodically gone down before, so I've been using the justReplace script to perform global replacements under my own account, ahead of deleting duplicates and copyvios. Unfortunately, the script breaks (stops the entire replace, doesn't just bypass that one page/project) whenever it needs to replace a file on a project that requires a CAPTCHA, so I'd like to be able to bypass them. --The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 05:03, 21 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
