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).
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
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.
Dear wikimedians, I am part of the SWMT since March 2023 and I am an active cross-wiki and local patroller. I use SWViewer to patrol. I have the local rollback right on frwiki (that was given to me by community approbation), wikidata and commons. I have read the global rollback policy with the local policies and my account is protected by the 2FA (since I am EFM on frwiki). I have done near 800/ reverts and 140/ deletions request on small wikis although what matters for me in the patrol is quality; I always try to apply good faith, I always set a reason in my reverts and I am open to any remarks, and I always try to progress in the good way and to learn from my mistakes. I was less active at the beginning of the year due to medical reasons and work/studies, but I resumed my regular activity from the last year since I have more time. I think I am ready for having the global rollback right from now, and that could help me in cross-wiki patrolling and this is why I would like to suggest my request to the community and see your opinions about it. Best regards, ShifaYT✉Talk14:22, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looks good (et j'ai jamais vu l'utilisation de "approbation" en anglais, et j'ai trouvé qu'il est vraiment un mot et bien utilisé dans ce contexte... juste un fait intéressant pour moi hehe) – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

:''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.
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.

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.
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewardswikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.
Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.
If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see this instruction to request a local IP block exemption.

The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.
Hello fellow Wikipedia veterans, I am a Wikipedia editor from mainland China. Due to the firewall's IP restrictions, I have to use frequently changing IPs to access Wikipedia. I hope that I can pass the global IP exemption and do Wikipedia in each language. make some contributionArvinTing (talk) 16:44, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see, my IP was blocked when I used Wikipedia other than Chinese, because I applied for IP exemption for Chinese, and I cannot edit in any language except Chinese, so I came here to apply for IP global exemption, hoping that Wikipedia seniors will approve it.

I assume that this is a request for global IP block exemption and not global rollback, so I modified the request slightly and moved it to this section. EPIC (talk)18:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everyone. I am Codename Noreste and I'm an edit filter helper on the English Wikipedia. I have assisted with some Meta administrators (more specifically EPIC and SHB2000) to maintain some abuse filters that I created (344, 351, 354, 360, 362, 363, and more recently, 365), and with some other content projects' administrators and abuse filter editors when helping with filters (1292, 1308, and parts of 1319 on the English Wikipedia); I am also active in anti-vandalism/spam/LTA work, and I sometimes encounter private filter log entries in which I cannot view them (to identify if it's vandalism/spam or not). Having the global abuse filter helper right would also allow me to debug abuse filters and to troubleshoot any false positives.
I'm good with regular expressions and I understand the importance of not discussing private filters in public, I have fully read and understand the abuse filter helper page, and I have signed the confidentiality agreement for nonpublic information (verify). Thank you for your consideration. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk23:34, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support I've worked with them over the months and Codename has been very proactive in maintaining abuse filters; it's about time for the GAFH. --SHB2000 (t • c) 00:15, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll probably consider applying for regular adminship before the end of the year to maintain abuse filters. Currently, I'm applying for view-only access. Codename Noreste 🤔 Talk06:53, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
