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: Dynamic pages:

Meta-Wiki requests


Requests for global rollback permissions

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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

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 sysops policy.
Stewards
When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).
=== Global sysop 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|+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). 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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Requests for global rename permissions

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 rename policy and the global renamers policy page.
Stewards
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.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
  3. You have considered the addition of a user language box to your user page
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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).
=== Global rename for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = meta.wikimedia <!-- 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|+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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.

Global rename for Gerges

Hello, I would like to request this permission to help with user rename requests in arwiki and small projects. I have read and understood the Global Rename Policy and Global Rename Policy pages here as well as the corresponding guidelines in arwiki. --Gerges (talk) 21:28, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Kızıl

Not ending before 18 December 2024 20:37 UTC

Hi, I am part of the Patroller user group and currently manage translations on the Turkish Wikipedia. I am also an active contributor to Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.

On the Turkish Wikipedia, we often face problems with vandalism and usernames. To help overcome these difficulties, I would like to help correct inappropriate usernames and assist with user renaming requests.

I have thoroughly reviewed and understand the relevant policy pages and believe that this permission will allow me to better support the community.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Have a nice day. -- kızıl message 20:37, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Oppose, this is a good faith request, but it appears that the user has no clerking experience at all. Also User does not have sysop experience on homewiki or elsewhere. Also, trwiki's renaming venue appears to redirect users to sruc or the special page. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    After reading the comment below, I am reconsidering. Sysop rights aren't required, but that shows some sort of trust. I an happy to Support Support the nomination. ToadetteEdit (talk) 09:26, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Kızıl: the problem I see is that as you're not a sysop, I'm not entirely sure how much you can help on "correct inappropriate usernames" - can you clarify on that, and also why you're not a sysop on trwiki? Leaderboard (talk) 08:03, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again @Leaderboard and @ToadetteEdit. As far as I found out, I don't need to be an sysop to be a global renamer. Therefore, I was thinking that whether I was a sysop or not would not affect this permit application.
I'm not yet an sysop on Trwiki and I don't want to be for a while, it's not a community decision, it's my own wish. Most of the time, users may be sysops first and then apply for global renamer. But I don't prefer to follow that path. I want to contribute outside my homewiki, that's why I applied, and that's how I will gain this experience.
If I talk about my experience, I have been on Wikipedia for 1 year and 7 months. Contrary to popular belief, I have gained a lot of experience during this time. Apart from my rights on my homewiki, I also have minor rights on other projects. I speak English and Spanish.
Again, do you need to be an sysop to become a global renamer? As far as I know, no, there is no such requirement.
There are 3 global renamers on Trwiki, but two of them are almost inactive. At the same time, we face problems like sockpuppetry and vandalism very often. Thanks for your comments. -- kızıl message 09:11, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to be a sysop yes, but in that case users often tend to be hamstrung on what they can do (eg they cannot process unblock requests). That being said, Support Support as your reasoning is sensible. Leaderboard (talk) 09:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for ASid

Not ending before 19 December 2024 13:17 UTC

ːHello everyone, I decided to submit this request after considering it.

I am a designated Arbitrator on zhwiki and a member of the VRT. I would like to request permission to help with user rename requests in zhwiki, small projects, and requests of Special:GlobalRenameQueue, as well as help in the zhwiki Discord group about user rename requests (I am also a group administrator). In fact, I have often been helping others and providing support in the zhwiki Discord group. I have experience creating accounts in zhwiki as an IPBEG. I have read and understood the Global Renamer and Global Rename Policy, and I will ask other renamer if I encounter any problem or have any doubts when dealing with requests. In addition, I also have global anti-vandalism experience as a reference for this application.

However, I have a small question about Global rollback. I'm not sure if I am qualified and experienced enough to apply for global rollback. My global patrolling is not continuous, but I sometimes encounter situations where I need to use quick rollbacks. I hope someone can help clarify my doubt. I am asking this in my application because I can't find an appropriate place to ask it, and I apologize if it seems very strange to ask in this application.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best regards, ~~Sid~~ 13:17, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Support, the user is definitely trusted on their homewiki. As for the global rollback question, I have no concerns, though some people will say that your x-wiki is sproadic and low (104 undo operations on SWViewer, much more reverts using TwinkleGlobal). Maybe an additional month or two of consistent xwiki reverts will warrant you global rollback access at the very least. ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:27, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Ahecht

Not ending before 19 December 2024 17:37 UTC

I am a recently-appointed admin on the English Wikipedia, and I have been getting involved with the UAA process, which sometimes involves blocking users for inappropriate usernames. I'd like to also be able to handle those user's unblock requests, which usually involve a username change. I have read and understood the Global rename/renamers policy and corresponding English Wikipedia guidelines. -- Ahecht (TALK

Global IP block exempt for Faldi00

Hello

Currently, I am living in Russia. As you know, Russia has blocked several websites since 2022. These restrictions cause me to often use VPN to access blocked websites. Unfortunately, users cannot either editing or creating a page on Wikipedia with VPN. Although Wikipedia has not been blocked yet, however several important websites that can support me during the editing or creation of an article are blocked such as BBC.com, Archive.org, Rfel.org and others. Apart from that, there are several news that stated Russia wanted to block Wikipedia, although it has not materialized yet. Hence, I am requesting Global IP block exempt so that I can edit or create an article on Wikipedia without having turning off the VPN. Faldi00 (talk) 07:22, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please file a UTRS appeal? There are questions we need to ask that are better done not visible to everyone. -- Amanda (she/her) 16:06, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I just read your message so apologize for late reply. Yes, I have made a UTRS appeal. Faldi00 (talk) 06:34, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global IP block exempt for Player8635

I was blocked when logging into Wikimedia Commons

I hope I can log in to upload some resources (such as photos of my school) for use in the wiki, and I also hope to log in to participate in editing activities, but I only have access to the Chinese wiki now, and I hope to get a global IP exemption --Player8635 (talk) 14:32, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Player8635, have you tried local (commons) IP block exempt? As far as I can understand you, you only want to edit the chinese wikipedia and commons. More information: Commons:IP block exemption. TenWhile6 15:19, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did apply for a local IP exemption, but I was blocked by Wikimedia Commons when I was editing a realm, and I can't edit tasks like: "Add an image to an article without an illustration

Global IP block exempt for HugoKoo

As a Wikipedia editor, I reside in mainland China (PRC) generally, where access to Wikipedia is restricted. This necessitates the use of a proxy server with outside-the-state network to enable my contributions. Using a proxy can occasionally lead to complications with editing permissions due to the IP address associated with the server. Please be assured that this proxy server IP address is used exclusively for my personal using and will not be misused. Thanks. --Hokdung Koo↗️talk 14:28, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
