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).

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
|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.

}}
:''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).

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. Competent and trustworthy. I see no reason for opposing. Thanks for all your work. Sgd. —Hasley 20:46, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Support. No objections. --Wiki13(talk) 20:52, 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)
Don't see in what way that should be relevant to this request, if I'm going to be honest. Wiki13(talk) 10:05, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
Note: SRGP aren't a vote. So there is no reason for this strike, anyone can vote here if I am not wrong. No comments w.r.t. the relevance though. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 15:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
Support Cpt.Viraj is an active and experienced Wikimedian according to my observations. I think he can handle this. chansey message? 11:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
Support obviously too. JavaHurricane 06:18, 25 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 am living in China mainland, and I have edited Wikipedia a lot. Now I need to continue editing enwiki and zhwiki in this country, so I need IPBE. Sincerely, Thanks.--看到有人在上网 (talk) 13:55, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
When reviewing new articles at zhwiki I tried to link them to Wikidata database but failed due to using a open proxy to bypass the Firewall so that I can access Wikipedia. Thanks. -- AlexisZhang 16:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Removed two, already has bits.
Waiting for missing signature, rest done. Not marking as done to prevent bot thinking this was done. (Done guys are marked as on hold) — regards, Revi 15:59, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Faendalimas does not have 2FA enabled. WMF requires 2FA on for OC. — regards, Revi 16:04, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Also Moheen and ProtoplasmaKid. — regards, Revi 16:09, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
@Faendalimas, Moheen, and ProtoplasmaKid: Please enable 2FA from Special:Preferences. WMF requires 2FA to be enabled at all times while you hold some user rights, such as OC. We are not able to grant you OC permission until you have 2FA set. — regards, Revi 16:10, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Mine should be sorted now, thanks. Cheers Scott Thomson (Faendalimas) talk 18:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Faendalimas done, Moheen waiting for WMF to add to IN. — regards, Revi 18:46, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Ouch, WMF added the signature while I was typing it. Moheen added. That leaves ProtoplasmaKid to the queue. After adding 2FA, please post in this page because we will need to perform another 2FA check (this is not automatic). — regards, Revi 18:47, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
