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.
Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global renamer and global sysop discussions require no fewer than 2 weeks.

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 [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request

|domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->

::''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 (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.

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a short period of consideration (typically 5 days). 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 live in Turkey. I can not make changes to Wikidata and Commons projects because Wikipedia is disabled in my country. --Ali Haydar (talk) 17:34, 23 April 2018 (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 spend a lot of my time on en-wiki reviewing username blocks, and would be able to ease the workload of other en-wiki global renamers if I had this right. However, please note that I'm not especially active on other Wikimedia sites, and that while I'm extremely familiar with the en-wiki username policies I won't necessarily be au fait with those outside my local wiki - so I will probably stick to non-contentious local renames as much as possible.

Support. We get a large number of unblock requests on en.wiki which require renaming, and an admin being able to do the rename and the unblock at the same time makes it easier for the blocked editor (with the arcane 2-step process being quite confusing), and it helps reduce the burden at the global rename queues. Yunshui is one of our most prolific admins working on unblocks, has a lot of experience, and is as trustworthy as any other I know. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:45, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Support Absolutely. One of our most trusted admins and functionaries. No reservations at all. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:06, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Support Gods yes. per above.Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:16, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Support trusted user who can probably figure out how to rename users properly. That said, it strikes me that enwiki is making work for itself - if you simply add a link to Special:GlobalRenameRequest for users who are blocked because of their username then every admin active in unblocks wouldn't need to also be a global renamer (inspired by @Matiia:). – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:28, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
That's an interesting suggestion - as most admins seem to use the Twinkle tool, it would only need the link to be added to the appropriate Twinkle block messages and the blocked editor could request a name change first. Having said that, it's sometimes surprising how many times blocked editors suggest new names which are still unsuitable on en.wiki (but might be fine elsewhere - eg company names on de.wiki). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:48, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
Support both the nominator and the candidate are trusted and respect member of English whose works I admire. Wikicology (talk) 01:48, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Support OTRS access and checkuser + oversight on enwiki? Most definitely trusted enough for the rename tool. —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 16:51, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
While I have no interest in renaming except on the English Wikipedia, it would streamline processing user name unblock requests on English Wikipedia. Now I must unblock and ask the requester to wait further for renaming. I could do it all in a single page visit, thus lifting the load from others.Dlohcierekim (talk) 12:42, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

Support--One of our most experienced admins as to spam-u-blocks, which often requires a rename, while unblocking.And as Boeing said, one of the most trust-worth sysops.Winged Blades of Godric (talk) 13:19, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Support Same as with Boing!: there are a relatively small number of us who regularly work unblocks on en.wiki, and renames are one of the most frequent unblock request types. Dloh has a need here, and it would be useful for him. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:07, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

That said, it strikes me that enwiki is making work for itself - if you simply add a link to Special:GlobalRenameRequest for users who are blocked because of their username then every admin active in unblocks wouldn't need to also be a global renamer (inspired by @Matiia:). – Ajraddatz (talk) 16:28, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Support Active and trusted. –Ammarpad (talk) 01:22, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
Support Feels a bit quid pro quo to support here since Dloh has already supported my own request, above, but I'll pile on... Yunshui (talk) 08:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello. I want this permission to respond to solicitations on lusophone projects, mainly pt.Wikipédia. I'm sysop on this wiki and the requests on pt:Wikipédia:Renomeação de conta are serviced by only two users, and there is a constant flow of requests. This is the reason for my request. I'm stay openned to questions. Thanks! Stanglavine (talk) 20:03, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Support seems trustworthy enough to hold the permission. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
