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

[edit]
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:H:i, j F Y (T)|+5 days}}''

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 Jet Pilot

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 17:17, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jet Pilot. I'd like to request global rollback rights. I have around 16,000 global edits, and most of my cross-wiki activity consists of anti-vandalism work. I'm already experienced with the rollback tool, which I use on several projects where I have the local permission, such as the Spanish Wikipedia (my main wiki) and Meta-Wiki itself. I also use SWViewer regularly as part of my workflow - with my current username, I have logged 5,683 actions, and with my previous username ("Tres Libras") I performed an additional 3,418 actions. My main areas of [antivandalism] activity have been the Spanish, English, Simple English, French, and Bulgarian Wikipedias, as well as Meta-Wiki and MediaWiki. I also occasionally contribute to vandalism reports at GSR and sometimes at SRG. I'm open to feedback and willing to learn from any suggestions or concerns that may arise.

The main purpose of me to request this hat is to have ipinfo data access among all projects, which will help me do SWMT stuff. I think I'm experienced enough. If there's any question, feel free to ask. Stang 08:46, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for DreamRimmer

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 11:43, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I am requesting global sysop rights primarily to assist with Global sysops/Speedy delete requests and at GSR, where I have made over 2,240 reports. I withdrew my previous request 48 days ago to spend more time on cross-wiki activity.

I have knowledge of English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Punjabi, Fiji Hindi, and several other Indic languages, along with basic knowledge of some foreign languages. Thanks for your time! – DreamRimmer ■ 11:43, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. – Ajraddatz (talk) 14:36, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: Thank you for your questions. As a global sysop, if I come across a small wiki with three active admins, I would generally avoid taking administrative action, as that level of local activity is usually sufficient to handle maintenance work on a small wiki. If I happened to delete a spam page and was then contacted by a local admin asking me to stop and expressing a preference for the content to remain, I would not argue and would respect their decision, leaving it to the local community to determine what aligns with their policies. My role as a global sysop would be to assist with maintenance where there are few or no active admins, not to act as a final decision-maker on content matters.
In the second scenario involving suspected cross-wiki LTA account, even if the user has a history of global blocks or locks, I would carefully review their contributions and avoid removing content en masse. If some of their edits appear productive, I would avoid blanket reverts or deletions and instead inform the local community, allowing them to assess the situation and take action according to their standards. If there is no local community and I am not comfortable taking any admin action, I would seek opinions from fellow global sysops on the mailing list. – DreamRimmer ■ 15:55, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good answers! Support Support - no concerns. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Instructions for making a request

  1. You have a global account;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
  3. You have considered the addition of a user language box to your user page

 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->

::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:H:i, j F Y (T)|+2 week}}''

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).

Hello, I would like to request a renewal of my global IP block exemption.
