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).
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
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.
I started at de-wiki in 2008 and today I mainly work at R/C at de-wiki and check contributions for global implications.
I am unable to remove advertising or abusive contributions in a number of wikis as there are local restrictions for users to revert or to change user pages.
In my effort to address vandalism global rollback permission would be very helpful. Pentachlorphenol (talk) 20:12, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Thank you for your volunteering! You certainly appear to be a trusted user. However, your recent cross-wiki activity appears to be quite low. I don't think it would be a problem for you to hold this permission, but generally, GR requires more recent cross-wiki activity IMO. 𝓰𝓲𝓷𝓪𝓪𝓷(T/C)04:42, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While there's a need, cross activity is low. You need to demonstrate trust across wikis because this permissions will grant you, most importantly, rollback and autopatrolled everywhere. 🪶-TΛNBIRUZZΛMΛN (💬) 06:43, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Because of the reason provided + Johannes' endorsement. It's difficult for me to just say "keep contributing" when they are facing problems doing just that. Leaderboard (talk) 18:09, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per ginaan. Would probably support after 1 more month of consistent x-wiki activity, though. // shb (t • c)11:21, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support We should not be giving rights to users who do not have a clear need, but it seems like the candidate has a long tenure on Wikimedia and with their requesting rationale and endorsement from a trusted steward, I'm fine with this request.

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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).
=== Global sysop 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)|+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). 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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.
When you give someone global rename rights, please add them to the list of global renamers and ask them to subscribe to the global renamers' mailing list.

=== Global rename for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ==={{sr-request|status =<!-- don't change this line -->|domain = meta.wikimedia <!-- 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)|+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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewardswikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.
Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.
If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see this instruction to request a local IP block exemption.

Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.
=== Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ==={{sr-request|status =<!--don't change this line-->|domain = global<!--don't change this line-->|user name ={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~
The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.
I edit across the Wiki project from several IP addresses, including my work which contains at least one IP address that has been globally blocked by my colleagues poor maturity. I already have Global IP address exemption, but just received notification that it will expire in a week. This is a request for continuation of exemption, thanks, --Chaheel Riens (talk) 21:03, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a reason to think that you still have an underlying hardblock, as blocks typically expire. The address you made this request from is not blocked. — xaosfluxTalk14:25, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The IP address range from which I most frequently edit Wikimedia sites is subject to an IP block as my employer uses zScaler proxy. I currently have a Global IP Block Exemption, which will expire on 2025-12-11. I'd like the exemption to be extended for as long as possible. --Rupert Clayton (talk) 22:57, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

=== 2FA Tester for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ==={{sr-request|status =<!--don't change this line-->|domain = global <!--don't change this line-->|user name ={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~
The request will be approved if there is no reason not to grant one. A steward will review the request.
Since December 2025, Wikimedia has rolled out 2FA privileges to all users. Before requesting 2FA tester here, please check whether you already can enable 2FA via Special:AccountSecurity.
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions.
