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 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 [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!-- don't change this line -->
|domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->
|user name = Username
}}
::''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 (other than requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, no other 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.
Hello! I am asking this because I would like to fight vandals on all wikis, not just simple. If I got this role, I think I would do a great job at reverting vandalism. Thank you. --Derpdart56 (talk) 16:19, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose You have edits on 5 wikis only yet. You are already rollbacker on Simple English Wikipedia (you are most active only here). If you want to fight against vandals in all wikis, you have to show us this according to contributing to many wikis. If you regularly revert edits in dozens of wikis for a month or two, you will be more easily selected when you are nominated yourself again. --Uncitoyentalk 16:30, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Per Uncitoyen, you are only active in reverting on simplewiki. Revert on enwiki, wikiquote, and wikibooks, for example, and you will have easy access to global rollback. Hope that helps, BlackWidowMovie0 (talk) 16:47, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Not the best of advice, I will say join SWMT and revert heavily on multiple wikis for around 2-3 months, you will be a good candidate. For enwiki, there are local rollback available, and wikibooks have automatic promotion to reviewer which include rollback after around 100 edits or so (roughly there are some finer details). I will recommend reverting on wikis that don't have local rollback rights and in multiple language. The whole point we want to see is that candidates use heavily rollback on wikis that are in languages they don't know, and in as many types of wikis as possible (like wikiquotes, wiktionaries, wikiversities etc). This is just for us to trust them in holding the permission in all wikis as no doubt you are trusted as local rollbacker, but not all projects are the same, someone with GR incorrectly rollback in some languages they don't understand can cause not only local damage, but also the image of global community on these projects will be affected (i.e. we will be seen poorly in these communities sight). I hope you understand, thank you for volunteering, I find this too soon regrettably. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 17:18, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose as per the obvious lack of experience. I would suggest gaining experience via SWMT or getting rollback locally on the wiki's you want to use it on. --Wiki13(talk) 17:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Not yet, sorry. As others said, I recommend getting some experience first. This is with no prejudice to a reapplication once you have some experience. Leaderboard (talk) 17:36, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose Please gain your experience on the "small wikis" first. --Saroj Uprety (talk) 17:45, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose, you have edited on only one wiki, other projects have only a few real edits. You are a rollbacker on a wiki that historically gave that permission to anyone who would ask. Please gain some experience and do some cross-wiki work, then maybe we talk about GR. Nadzik (talk) 19:20, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose - What you do on the Simple English Wikipedia is great. However, you need to do cross-Wiki work in other languages, maybe join the SWMT. Belwine • 💬 • 📜 19:57, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose - sadly there is barely any X-wiki activity. --IWI (talk) 21:09, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

=== Global sysop for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!-- don't change this line -->
|domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->
|user name = Username
}}
:''Not ending before {{subst:#time:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''
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.
Hello everyone. I have been contributing to different Wikimedia projects for 10 years. For the last year, my free time has increased due to Covid-19, so I generally started to contribute more to wiki projects. Since 2014, I have had admin experiences on different wiki projects (Turkish Wikinews, Turkish Wikisource, Wikimedia Turkey, Turkish Wiktionary). I have been an administrator on Turkish Wikipedia for 5 years and have been a checkuser for the last year there. I'm a global renamer for the last 6 months. Before I became a global renamer, I did cross-wiki activity on 290 wikis as far as I was calculated. Although this number isn't more than 350 wikis at the moment, I think it is close to this number. Maybe these numbers may be small for someones, because these are subjective. But for the last 6 months, I have been trying to make requests on the SRG and global sysop requests. Generally I tried to keep my cross-wiki activity balanced. I have been serving as a Meta-admin for 2 weeks. Also I am 6th non-global sysop user have the most edits for the last 10 months, since Global sysops/Requests was opened. See: [1] My cross-wiki activity has decreased a little over the last month because my real life, but it won't cause a huge inactivity. Last year and this year, some global sysops were also removed per inactivity policy as usual. I think this year I will be more helpful for other global sysops and small wikis with the effect of the pandemic. 2FA is open already. Thanks for your comments and questions. --Uncitoyentalk 20:33, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Support Of course, functionary on homewiki (CU) as well as multiple sysop positions, active in xwiki patrolling and competent in all aspect of admin actions, thanks for volunteering. Just a sidenote: I am higher in the GS/R reporting list. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 20:38, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
You too can be a candidate one day. Because you are one of the most active global rollbackers on Meta. Thank you. --Uncitoyentalk 20:42, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
I am contented with the tools I had for now, thanks :) Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 20:43, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Support, yes. --mirinano (talk) 23:59, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi. I started my SWMT work in October 2019, became a global rollbacker in February 2020 and an abuse filter helper in March 2020. I'm a sysop on Commons and here on Meta. I've made some mistakes in my journey, like this and this but percentages of mistakes is significantly low, also I've always apologized and have tried to revert the mistake. I'm available on the Freenode IRC under the nick CptViraj and/or sometimes Firaag and have frequently used #wikimedia-gsconnect and #wikimedia-stewardsconnect to report abuse. My SWMT activity had dropped moderately in last few months because of the new roles I got and some RL issues but I believe I now have enough time to actively work on anti-vandalism/spam, GS tools will help me to quickly block vandals, spammers and LTAs, I'll also help at GSR and SRM. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 04:32, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Support No concerns. ミラP@Miraclepine 04:57, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Support He has at least one edit on at least 244 wikis. Some of these are wikis with global renamer edits. But since some wikis didn't have live edits (probably they are deleted edits), I can say that he did a good job. I can see that he is rollbacking every month in this year with the cross-wiki activity tool. He is active on cross-wiki and has admin experience. Good luck. --Uncitoyentalk 07:10, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
Support. Stryn (talk) 07:13, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
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.
Please note that global renamer discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

I have been an administrator on the English language Wikipedia for nearly 14 years and an active contributor to several other Wikimedia projects. On en-wp I frequently patrol the Usernames for Admin Attention (UAA) board. On that project we have many users who subsequently request an unblock and rename, following action taken at UAA. I would like to be a global renamer so that I can assist with that backlog of unblock requests, renaming users and granting unblocks where appropriate, as an extension to the work I do at UAA. Waggers (talk) 13:37, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Support Seems trusted, enwp sysop, per my usual standards that GR should be given to large / medium wiki sysops upon request (I don't mind bundle it with their toolkit) who is in good standing (prima facie I don't see any issues, willing to be corrected) and is active (seen their contribs, relatively okay in recent activity). GR isn't a big deal anyway for such cases. Since they are making username blocks, this is welcomed as it reduces work for other renamers, thank you for volunteering. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 13:47, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Strong support Waggers is an admin on English Wikipedia for 14 years. I think Waggers is very successful. The blocks that he/she gives for inappropriate usernames and his/her contributions on UAA are also clear. I am sure he/she will be a good job, especially with requests for the English Wikipedia. Good luck. --Uncitoyentalk 15:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Support easily meets my criteria. --IWI (talk) 16:05, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
One question I want to ask is whether there is a shortage of global renamers that causes difficulty in this user's case. Leaderboard (talk) 17:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Leaderboard, good question. Arguably not; at the time of writing there are 93 requests for unblock on en-wp, 13 of which include a request to change the username on unblocking. Of those, all bar one have had some kind of response and that one was only requested earlier today, so actually we're doing quite well at responding to those requests. However there's a difference between responding to a request to check that a user understands why they were blocked and why a change in username is necessary, and being able to action that once they have demonstrated that understanding, and I'd like to be able to help out with the latter - but it's not a disaster if I can't. Waggers (talk) 23:09, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
Support Great user with huge xwiki contributions --Matttest (talk) 09:29, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
Sorry to ask, what is the user huge xwiki contributions, I see only contributions to commons, enwp, some en projects, and wikidata. Anyway, unless if the candidate wants to work on global queue, xwiki experience doesn't matter for GRN IMO. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:55, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I think that as a new user, they might not understand what we meant by xwiki, xwiki we mean that cross-wiki, i.e. contributions across multiple wikis of multiple language and multiple types of project (like wikipedias, wikitionaries etc), hope this clarifies. :) Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:04, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I have seen that there are lots of rename requests on Chinese Wikipedia, English Wikipedia and here - Meta. I need this right to help renaming username and I have read the global rename policy. --FindBestWorld (talk) 08:51, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm CU, 'crat, admin and oversight in Persian Wikipedia (and have been admin for 12 years now), also have been global renamer since its inception (in 2015 IIRC). I'm also helping Wikimedia in technical spaces in my volunteer capacity (trying to keep track of them in here) and would like to have the right to help clean up deprecated js/css or fix performance and security issues in small wikis. For example, currently phab:T72470 but stuff like that comes up a lot. Hope that'd be okay for you. Amir (talk) 21:31, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Support bit of a pile on, small wikis can use the help for sure. Did this start as a GS request - because wouldn't that have more fit the small wiki use case declared though? — xaosfluxTalk 03:45, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
I guess yes, based on history. However, GIE seems to be more suitable for this use case as it's editing the interface IMO, GS is more of uncontroversial counter-vandalism and spam which this isn't. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
To better facilitate my work as a system administrator, I would like to be granted the global `sysadmin` group to my volunteer account.
