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).

Requests for global rollback permissions

Shortcut:
SRGR
Please be sure to follow the instructions below:
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions, and not doing so would reflect poorly on your suitability.
Please also review the Global rollback policy.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that: You have sufficient activity to meet the requirements to be allocated the global rollback flag

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 {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = global <!-- don't change this line -->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} <!-- don't change this line unless you're nominating another user -->
}}
::''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 (with rare exceptions , 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.

Global rollback for Kyube

Global rollback for Some Gadget Geek

Status:    Not done
Not ending before 15 February 2017 14:14 UTC

Hello, I have been actively performing rollbacks on Wikipedia on mainly the English and Simple English Wikipedias. However, I also do occasionally rollback suspicious edits on other language wikis, the most active being frwiki, nlwiki, dewiki, and eswiki. Having one global rollback right on all the wikis will allow me to save the hassle of having to use a tedious undo feature which often results in edit conflicts should the disruptive activity continue, or I be beaten to the revert. Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Some Gadget Geek (talk) 14:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Amire80

Status:    Done
Not ending before 2 February 2017 22:11 UTC

I've been an editor in Wikipedia, Wikisource, and several other projects in Hebrew, English, and Russian since 2004. I'm a sysop in English Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikisource, and Hebrew Wiktionary. I'm a also a translator in translatewiki.net since 2009, and a MediaWiki developer since 2011. In real life I am a staff member of the Wikimedia Foundation, but I am making this request with my volunteer community account and on my own behalf. I am fluent in Russian, Hebrew, and English, mostly fluent in Catalan, and can read Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese fairly well.

The reason for making this request is that I am frequently asked by editors on smaller wikis to find why are some functions on their sites don't work: Bashkir, Mari, Sakha, Marathi, Kabardian, and others, and sometimes also larger ones like Belarusian, Indonesian, Georgian, and Japanese. Almost always the reason is incorrect JavaScript code in Common.js, user scripts, or gadgets, or an incorrect AbuseFilter. To actually get it fixed I need to wait for the local administrator to make the fix, and then to test the fix, and ask for more corrections if needed. This is a slow and inefficient cycle, especially considering timezone differences.

Every now and then I also notice pages on small wikis that are clearly inappropriate (spam, wrong language, copyvio, etc.), and I mark the for deletion.

Thank you for consideration. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 22:11, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Atcovi

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 12 February 2017 03:15 UTC

I'd like to request this right due to my increase need. I've been actively working on SWMT work for the last two months, and I've came across two wikis that I'd like to share as examples: vi.wikibooks and tl.wikibooks. At the Vietnamese Wikibooks, there are over 300 pages that have been blanked by this IP that actively contributes there. I would like to determine (instead of flooding #wikimedia-gs) whether these pages are worthy of deletion for no content, or the last contributor should be reverted and the original content be restored. At tl.wikibooks, several IPs come onto the website and vandalize several pages: (mainly: https://tl.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Noli_Me_Tangere/Kabanata_41_:_Dalawang_Dalaw&curid=3018&action=history and https://tl.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Tagalog/Pang-uri&action=history). I'd like to patrol this wiki and delete pages that are worthy of deletion. Obviously, these are only two examples and my work is not going to be entangled on these 2 specific wikis.

In addition, I would also like to block users. Recently I had to revert over 20 edits of page-blankers on ko projects, see: https://ko.wiktionary.org/wiki/%ED%8A%B9%EC%88%98:%EA%B8%B0%EC%97%AC/Atcovi and https://ko.wikibooks.org/wiki/%ED%8A%B9%EC%88%98:%EA%B8%B0%EC%97%AC/Atcovi). In the future, I'd like to put an immediate stop onto these vandals rather than wait for another global sysop to do it.

I hope that I am elected as a global sysop because I have shown, with evidence, a true need for this right. Thanks. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 03:15, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral Neutral I do not see a demonstrated global need, however, I do not doubt that it would do a good job. I would like to see more opinions. File:Alvaro Molina.png Alvaro Molina (Let's Talk) 03:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Neutral I need to think about this one. You've done fine as a global rollbacker but global sysop is hard to monitor (misuse of the right can go undetected for a long time), and the past issues of 2013-2014 give me pause. --Rschen7754 08:03, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose There are still a few points (e.g. distinguishing what is a good wiki for a GS to act on or not) where I do not feel comfortable granting access, but I see most of the reasons why previous requests (for any other permission) were rejected no longer apply. Considering the great development and maturing over the past years, I suppose a further request in 1-2 years could be ready to be granted. For the current need, however, I would suggest requesting temporary local adminship on the two wikis in question in order clean up. Kind regards, --Vogone (talk) 09:31, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear, I'm aware of what wikis are for GS and not (I've read https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_sysops#Scope). Here, I'll show why vo.wikibooks would be a GS wiki. This is because all of these wikis have inactive admins, see https://vi.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=%C4%90%E1%BA%B7c_bi%E1%BB%87t%3ADanh_s%C3%A1ch_th%C3%A0nh_vi%C3%AAn&username=&group=sysop&limit=50 (Mxn, last contributed nearly a year ago, with admin action the same). I thought I'd clarify this, because I believe I do know which wiki is GS and which is not. EDIT: I'd also like to clarify that I would like to work globally as a sysop, not on these wikis I've listed... these were just examples. I think requesting local adminship on four wikis would seem hat-collectish of me. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:26, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
ks-M9 do you mean you don't see me using this right on any other wiki? I have sysop rights on en.wikibooks for nearly two years now, if that is what you are referring to. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 15:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

MF-W, "that he is yet again requesting here shows that." I don't understand. Is there something wrong me with me requesting gs rights? And I don't understand "again". Please explain so I can improve, I am open for criticism. Thanks. --Atcovi (Talk - Contribs) 03:02, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Should I link to your previous requests? --MF-W 16:46, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for Billinghurst

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 1 March 2017 01:38 UTC

Hi to all. I am looking to do some xwikisource work, or at least to be able to work with the smaller WS communities in that space to resolve some issues. I could apply for Global interface editors to do the WSes work, however, it is probably okay for to just put my hand up for GS rights as I have continued doing holistic anti-spam work through AbuseLog/Title blacklist/Spamblocklist/COIBot. I am an active and experience editor and administrator across many wikis; currently have five admin rights (enWS, enWP, C, M, MW) plus GR. I have had other advanced admin rights and believe that I have acted responsibly with those rights and can demonstrate that I can act appropriately with communities while holding advanced rights. I am not looking to do more in the SWMT, though as bibs and bobs pop up, I would deal with them directly rather than mark for others. Anyway, I will throw it over to the community and check back in a couple of weeks. If you have any questions please do ask, and please do ping me as I am not actively following this page. Thanks.  — billinghurst sDrewth 01:38, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for Kipala

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 16 February 2017 11:20 UTC

I request global rename permission. I have been admin and bureaucrat on swwiki for several years. Presently we have nobody who can do rename. As we start a series of workshops etc. this will bring groups of newbies where the point of name choice and regrets pops up. Furthermore we usually work from same IP for 1 workshop and will have to prepare accounts for participants to use to avoid the mass account creation problem. Looks easier to have some prepared accounts ready to start with which later can be renamed. And I have read the Global rename policy and believe to have understood it.
