Steward requests/Global permissions
← Requests and proposals | Steward requests (Global permissions) | latest archive→ |
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). Quick navigation: |

Global rollback for NGC 54[edit]
- Global user: NGC 54 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 3 December 2023 15:51 UTC
I do counter-vandalism work via SWViewer and TwinkleGlobal, and the global rolbacker rights would aid me. I have read the Global rollback policy. I became a wikimedian 4 years ago and a rowiki sysop 3 years ago. --NGC 54 (talk|contribs) 15:51, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- Edit war? —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 16:04, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Yahya: If you mean that I should have stopped reverting once I have seen that the vandal was insistent and once I have seen that the vandal has been reported, and that I should have instead left the global sysops / stewards manage the vandal from now on, yes, I admit my wrong. If you mean something else, please explain. --NGC 54 (talk|contribs) 11:44, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Oppose as NGC 54 probably didn't bother reverting vandalism and spam on most small wikis (other than the Romanian language small wikis), and GR is a very high-trust global permission, as this will allow you to mark rollbacks as bot edits (with a certain script), not leave redirects when moving pages, etc. You are expected to revert just obvious vandalism and spam, not edit war. – 64andtim (talk to me!) 04:57, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Support no concerns. --Mtarch11 (talk) 06:14, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Support - XXBlackburnXx (talk) 06:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Neutral The edit war is problematic, but it was back in September. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 12:29, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Support, because the edit war issue seems to be an isolated mistake and there isn't any other issue. Leaderboard (talk) 14:22, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
Support LGTM. --LR0725 ( Talk / Contribs ) 06:13, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Neutral Nadzik (talk) 18:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Weak support Besides the ones NGC 54 mentions, I found other edit-war, such as @sat.wikipedia.org. However, the candidate seems to understand the points made, so I don't oppose. --Tmv (talk) 22:51, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Support I just see one mistake --Ameisenigel (talk) 16:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
Weak support --V0lkanic (talk) 11:48, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Meiko21[edit]
- Global user: Meiko21 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello, I have recently had to use VPN and Proxy to contribute because the internet connection where I live is inherently poor and often intermittent. Because of using VPN, many times when I access projects I cannot edit them (Except for Vietnamese Wikipedia). I wish I was granted this permission so that I can contribute to many global projects of the organization. Thank you! --Meiko 10:04, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- We would need more details and it would likely involve us needing to speak about details you would not want public. Either a UTRS request or an email would be appropriate. -- Amanda (she/her) 15:54, 23 October 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Pp01902[edit]
- Global user: Pp01902 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Due to my ISP, I end-up encountering IP block, I understand that IP blocks are sometimes necessary to maintain the integrity and security of the Wikimedia. Attaching the IP:185.177.124.0/22 and error Link. Hence I'm requesting the IP block exempt right for my account to keep up the good work. Thanks, thanks, --Pp01902 (talk) 11:24, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Per UTRS #81565 --DeltaQuadBot (talk) 14:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- I was suddenly blocked for no reason. I think it's probably because someone else did something to get blocked using the same IP address, but I haven't done anything in particular to get banned. Hayabusannnnnn (talk) 14:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for 安眠3[edit]
- Global user: 安眠3 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I am in China and have to use technology to change ip addresses to access Wikipedia, so I need to apply for an Ip exemption as a way to edit all versions of Wikipedia.—安眠3 (talk) 07:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
- @安眠3 Hi, you have local IPBE on Chinese Wikipedia, why you need a global IPBE? Lemonaka (talk) 08:13, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
Done added for 12 months, feel free to apply for renewal if needed prior to expiration. — xaosflux Talk 15:01, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Ansony89[edit]
- Global user: Ansony89 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I am an extended confirmed user of Chinese Wikipedia and English Wikipedia, and a rollbacker of Chinese Wikipedia. Since I live in mainland China, I have to use a VPN entirely to edit (or even access) Wikipedia article and any other Wikimedia related pages. And when I'm using a VPN, I'm often blocked from editing due to my IP address. And the IP addresses I use are usually blocked globally, not just locally. So here I ask for permission to get a global exemption from global blocks , thank you! --Ansony89 (talk) 16:07, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
Global IP block exempt for Jasskurn[edit]
- Global user: Jasskurn (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I'm located in the UK. I use a VPN and therefore can not edit. I'm asking for an exemption for the following reasons. The reason I use a VPN is due to British Legislation - [Powers Act 2016] which is now coming into effect. As the Wiki page shows, the legislation forces British ISP's to record and store for 1 year, all internet traffic metadata. The data is in practice easily accessible by a vast range of British organisations from National Crime Agency to the Welsh Ambulance service. An effective loophole means the data recording rules don't apply to VPNs. I have personal reasons for not having my wiki editing to to be recorded. I also do not trust my ISP to securely store this data. I'm am happy to explain the personal reasons if they are not recorded here.
All previous data I have added is linked to contributions to OpenStreetMap, and OpenStreetMaps use of wikidata and commons for extra info links. My account on OpenStreetMap is JassKurn , thanks, --Jasskurn (talk) 16:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

2FA Tester for OdinintheNorth[edit]
- Global user: OdinintheNorth (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I would like to enable 2FA for better account security as I have become more active on the site in the past year. My account is also extended confirmed on the English Wikipedia now and I'd feel better if I had 2FA enabled. I use this on a lot of sites so I'm familiar with the setup and tradeoffs. Thank you - OdinintheNorth (talk) 15:36, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @OdinintheNorth: Have you read the help page and are you aware of the risk in case of loss of your scratch codes? --Superpes15 (talk) 11:52, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
2FA Tester for Zoranb[edit]
