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: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 sysop for Tanbiruzzaman

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 22 October 2024 16:08 UTC

Hello everyone. I am Tanbiruzzaman. As a regular contributor to the Wikimedia movement, I contribute to various projects as a member of the global rollbacker and VRT permissions team for quite a long time. These roles strengthened my ability to follow procedures and manage XWiki issues efficiently. I've always noticed that small wikis that don't have an active sysop often suffer from constant vandalism and spam. I need this flag to help protect GSwikis from abuse, and to give smallwiki communities the support they need. If I am granted the flag, I will help fill the gap of a caretaker across GS wikis. I am always committed to:

  1. Respect the policies and decisions of local communities.
  2. Use the tool only when necessary.
  3. Help the community to monitor any step taken by me, and if any wrong steps are taken by me in the consideration of the community, I'll figure out the solution.

I believe I can maintain the integrity of small wikis and support the work of local administrators across small wikis. I am always ready for any kind of feedback questions or comments. –TANBIRUZZAMAN (💬) 16:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Elli

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 22 October 2024 00:25 UTC

Hi everyone. I've been an admin at enwiki since June and enjoy helping with the unblock request backlog. In doing this, I've come across many cases where a rename (which the user has requested) is necessary for the user to be unblocked. I'd like to be able to action those requests. This is my main use for the permission, though I'd also be potentially interested in helping at w:WP:CHU on occasion.

I've read the relevant policies (Global renamers, Global rename policy, and for my work, w:Wikipedia:Username policy) and intend to abide by them. Though I don't expect it to happen often, if someone requesting a rename has significant contributions on a project other than enwiki, I'll do my best to make sure their requested name doesn't violate the policies of that wiki either. As for language, unfortunately I am only really fluent in English. Elli (talk) 00:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Faldi00

[edit]
Status:    In progress

Hello

Currently, I am living in Russia. As you know, Russia has blocked several websites since 2022. These restrictions cause me to often use VPN to access blocked websites. Unfortunately, users cannot either editing or creating a page on Wikipedia with VPN. Although Wikipedia has not been blocked yet, however several important websites that can support me during the editing or creation of an article are blocked such as BBC.com, Archive.org, Rfel.org and others. Apart from that, there are several news that stated Russia wanted to block Wikipedia, although it has not materialized yet. Hence, I am requesting Global IP block exempt so that I can edit or create an article on Wikipedia without having turning off the VPN. Faldi00 (talk) 07:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please file a UTRS appeal? There are questions we need to ask that are better done not visible to everyone. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Player8635

[edit]
Status:    In progress

I was blocked when logging into Wikimedia Commons

I hope I can log in to upload some resources (such as photos of my school) for use in the wiki, and I also hope to log in to participate in editing activities, but I only have access to the Chinese wiki now, and I hope to get a global IP exemption --Player8635 (talk) 14:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Player8635, have you tried local (commons) IP block exempt? As far as I can understand you, you only want to edit the chinese wikipedia and commons. More information: Commons:IP block exemption. TenWhile6 15:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global abusefilter helper for ShifaYT

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 12 October 2024 12:05 UTC

Hello. As an EFM on frwiki since May 2023 (my local request), I am regularly confronted to global filters false positives, and for most of them they are private filters that I can't see. I generally ask to my colleguales on frwiki with AFH like User:Jules* and User:Supertoff, or to User:Johannnes89 as a meta sysop, and it's not the first time, the last example is today [1]. If you want to see my local filters edits : [2] and my work on false positives in 2023 and in 2024. It could allow me to deal with global false positives on my homewiki, and assist easily metawiki sysops if there is a FP by knowning directly where the problem is to notify them. And by the same way, it could help me in local filters creation and general coordination like for cross-wiki vandals filters, since I already discussed about this for a LTA one day with cross-wiki colleguales. Best regards, ShifaYT ✉Talk 12:05, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

CAPTCHA exemption for ToadetteEdit

[edit]
Status:    In progress

Followup of the global rollback request not likely to pass (enwiki tban is a curse), I would like to request the simpler CAPTCHA exemption, as I often have to undo + enter CAPTCHA edits that removed external links, but also always on zhwiki (jawiki also have a similarity, requiring CAPTCHA for every edit, suspect $wgEmergencyCaptcha is enabled on thre two wikis), thanks, ToadetteEdit (talk) 06:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose No. Applying for another global permission right after your previous one failed is still a no from me. Previous issues are still outstanding (enwiki tban, that is) and I do not trust giving such a perm to someone who cannot be trusted to do what most other good-standing users could do on enwiki. --SHB2000 (t • c) 08:08, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The thing is that CAPTCHA-exemption is kind of narrow in its real use, and the community has occasionally frowned on using it as a backdoor for users that should have global rollback instead. That being said: I don't see a problem either way. Leaderboard (talk) 08:43, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Neutral Ferien, one below, described it pretty well. --TenWhile6 08:57, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure how to feel considering the fact your global rollback request just failed, I feel you should have waited a little bit rather than doing it straight away. I don't see a reason for opposing this request, but also don't want to encourage hat collection. --Ferien2 (talk) 09:07, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose given how you worded your withdraw in the last request, it looks like hat collecting to me. Zippybonzo (talk) 13:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support Although I was conflicted at first since this request is coming so soon after the failed one, I don't find much of an issue with it. If this permission is able to make Toadette more effective in doing anti-vandalism work, that seems like a net positive, so the worries about hat collecting don't really bother me. Ternera (talk) 15:49, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support this I am fine with. CAPTCHAs are annoying, there's a valid case here (someone active in xwiki cv work but without global rollback for reasons unrelated to their work in that area), I think we can grant this. I get a sense of over-eagerness about this user but not simple hat collecting, and at any rate CAPTCHA exemption isn't something to brag about. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:09, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose the claimed use cases of wanting to bypass captchas on 2 major non-GS wiki's that have specifically asked for their autoconfirm threshold to be raised doesn't sell me on why this flag primarily for visually impaired contributors is necessary. — xaosflux Talk 20:05, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose per Xaosflux --Ameisenigel (talk) 21:32, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support. While the rush for making multiple requests is a bit concerning, I do not see a problem with this request itself. CAPTCHA is intended for abuse prevention not punishment for those making legitimate edits. Since having the permission would help the editor in their work, I am supporting the request. – Ammarpad (talk) 22:37, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose * Pppery * it has begun 22:44, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Not yet due to some concerns (after the second withdrawn GR request and the rapid permission requests), and especially by SHB2000 and xaosflux. As I said before, please focus on more experience rather than hat collecting, and never let my advice discourage you again. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk 23:21, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support per Ammarpad. – DreamRimmer (talk) 07:57, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support I share the opinions per above; I find hat collecting concerning in general. However, I am not opposed to the request itself, per Ammarpad. I just wanted to say that rights don't give you more recognition for your work, with specific rights or not, your volunteering counts for the community as equal to everyone, so don't feel discouraged and take your time. And thank you for your volunteering . ShifaYT ✉Talk 15:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
