I believe that being able to create upload campaigns for these periodic initiatives will make it easier for people to upload their content while also lessening any potential burden on volunteers. Creating a campaign has, in fact, been suggested for both of our previous campaigns in discussions on Commons' Village Pump. (1, 2) |

Morten has a formal relationship with me and the Research dept. at the Wikimedia Foundation. The access duration would be tied to Morten's current MOU/NDA with the Wikimedia Foundation. The deleted text will be extracted on a stat* machines within our analytics cluster, and we’ll probably train models and perform analyses on the same machine, so the text won’t be copied anywhere else. | Other/Special (See use case) |
| AVasanth (WMF) | 2017-08-09 | Since we have a global audience that would benefit from different language versions of pages like guides, newsletters and processes, and there are coordinators who are willing to do the translations, the only thing in between us is we can't get the pages marked for translations, not in time. Also, the queue for translation is quite long, it prevents us from effectively reaching out and being of use to our potential audience. | M:Translation Admin |

| NTymkiv (WMF) | 2016-07-12 | I would like to request an admin flag on wikimediafoundation.org to help with cleaning there (for example, with Category:Deletion requests etc).

| Delphine (WMF) | 2016-07-01 | My work on meta has increased a lot in the past few days, and will surely increase even more. Which leads to moving pages around, deleting old redirects and obsolete templates etc. I therefore write to ask to have admin rights on meta, so that I don't leave a mess behind me when I'm crazily editing away portal pages for the FDC (and whatnots). I was an admin on meta with my volunteer account for... 10 years I suppose (User:notafish), I am still an admin on Commons and while I have to read all the translations pages thoroughly to understand how that really works, I believe I have a bit of experience. | M:Sysop |

| Mvolz (WMF) | 2016-05-25 | I need full edit permissions on all language wikis for the Template namespace. I need to edit template data in these templates in order to properly configure citoid on these wikis. Here is the phabricator task to do so: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114515 Often these are editable but on some language wikis they are locked for editing.
I've been getting a colleague to do some on wiki edits for me and he finally got fed up and suggested I get my own permissions :). It would be also great if I had the ability to edit MediaWiki namespace on all language wikis. This is to configure this message and this message only on all wikis: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json |

| MeganHernandez (WMF) | 2013-01-24 | I work on the WMF fundraising team as Head of Annual Fundraiser. As part of my job, I am expected to create and manage banners and central notice campaigns. | M:Central Notice Admin |
| Jon (WMF) | 2012-10-31 | As a software developer within the WMF Mobile team Jon does work on css and js for the mobile site. He often needs to make small tweaks to ensure that site wide code continues to work on mobile or to help community members when they are having issues making unique mobile changes. | G:Interface Editor |
| Jdforrester (WMF) | As part of my "Admin tools" work, I need to be able to view/edit/see the logs of (a) AbuseFilters on meta and (b) the new global AbuseFilters once they're there too.
Right now I believe (a) is only given to meta +sysops, +Stewards and +Sysadmins; (b) is only given to +sysadmins for now and will be given to +Stewards in a few days/weeks once we're sure it works. However, as I'm in none of these groups I can't test that the features work and help work out what's gone wrong if the tool breaks, which is a bit of a pain. Some options:
NOTE: +SYSADMIN WAS GRANTED |
G:Sysadmin | |
| Reedy (WMF) | Reedy is required as part of his role to do global maintenance work across any and all of the WMF wikis. This means that he needs global editinterface and other rights available in the sysadmin group of rights. | G:Sysadmin | |
| Ryan Kaldari (WMF) | As a senior developer Ryan needs rights for troubleshooting and testing purposes | G:Sysadmin | |
| Guillaume (WMF) | As part of his job Guillaume is frequently asked to use the extended user rights of his staff account on Meta-Wiki and cross project , e.g. to manage translations in the Translate Extension, send translation notifications, post and manage movement-wide announcements using the CentralNotice extension or other systems, and import pages. Based on his language and community knowledge, he also uses
global staff rights in order to occasionally help the LCA team with timely requests - specifically those sent to the emergency@ contact point and referring to French-language wikis - where Oversight and/or Checkuser rights are needed to evaluate information that had to be hidden from public view. |
