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 sysop for Turkmen

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 11 July 2019 21:11 UTC

Hello. I'am a global rollbacker, and a sysop on three Azerbaijani Wikiprojects (Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikisource) and Turkmen Wikipedia.

Sometimes after reverting vandal edits and add the "delete" template vandals don't stop vandalizing. They remove the "delete" template from the page, continue vandalizing, or create unnecessary pages. I think this right will be effective for me to combat such edits carried out by users/IPs in Wikipedias with inactive sysops, or for someone who is not a sysop.

Thanks--Turkmen talk 21:11, 27 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Turkmen, I think you can report such cases to Global sysops who are active on IRC or in SRM page. These issues are common during crosswiki patrol especially while dealing with LTAs.--BRP ever 11:18, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Support At the time of my vote, he is op on 6 wikis and rb on so many others. I bet that he will know how untangle on other wikis and in other languages. Whole confidence on an obvious application, quite simply. Salam əleykum. —Eihel (talk) 00:12, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Weak support. Turkmen is doing fine as a Global Rollbacker and did not have much experience yet. I don't see a real demonstrated need for the tool (the example quoted of continual vandalism is something many GR, including me faced). In addition, the tenure as a GR is extremely short as well as I don't see very active crosswiki vandalism combating (as compared to the rest of the GS when they stand for candidacy). However, his multiple temporary permissions which he didn't abuse them is a sign that more tools to them will not be a harm. As what I said in my GR application, I believe candidates who know the tool shouldn't be denied based on a weak index / matrix. This is what leaned me to support rather than remains on the fence. A caveat for them, GS is a very powerful tool (and my homewiki is a GS wiki so I am very concerned) so please use it judiciously. All the best. --Cohaf (talk) 06:55, 28 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"IMO test edit" is trashing the wikis in a way. Especially the wikis with less sysop activity, or no sysops at all. Users or IPs can test their acitivity on wikis' general draft pages or test wikis. Be sure that, from my adminship experience, I know that they ask about it, or search themselves. Edits like these are only vandalistic in nature. The article that I deleted without explanation was an article that was written in English language, in Uzbek Wikipedia. Thus, I added the "Delete" template without any explanation. Sometimes, while looking at wikis with SW Viewer, I'am alone and because of that, to not have anything pass by without my review, I edit oftenly. And this is why I added that template fast, and closed my tab. I can understand and speak the Uzbek language. I probably look at the last changes page of that wiki daily. This is why I can be active more comfortably in Uzbek Wikipedia, rather than other Wikipedia projects.--Turkmen talk 14:23, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
For English articles, somewiki like zh will allow for 14 days to translate or else deletion, so I am a little puzzled. I now know it is a wiki you understood the language, it's better then. I don't think they are truly vandalism but they aren't useful, this I agree. Thanks Turkmen for explaining. I think I am more reassured now. Fair explanation given. --Cohaf (talk) 15:10, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Dear @Cohaf:, thank you. :)--Turkmen talk 15:57, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @TonyBallioni: and @Ajraddatz:. First of all, thank you for your attention. But I think there is no need to worry. When I was nominated for this right, I understood the seriousness of the law. That is, I know that the wrong actions can create problems for me in the future. However, when I get new rights in a project, I look at the behavior of other administrators and users and practice it. I actively participate in projects such as Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wiktionary, Wikisource and Wikinews (Azerbaijan Wikinews now in Incubator). That is, I know about many projects. I think the number of global administrators is small. Some are not active at all. This weakens the effective fight against vandalism. I think that if I become a global administrator, I can more effectively deal with users and IP addresses who continue their vandalism. In this way, I can reduce the burden of global administrators and global rolbackers. I can do it. Kind regards, :) Turkmen talk 19:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I do think that a few more months of cross-wiki work would be beneficial so you could learn more about the way things are done outside the azwiki community. I've noticed a few times recently when you've said/done things that, while being normal on your home project, are frowned upon here. That said, I am fairly confident that you'll be able to use the sysop tools properly and won't abuse them, so I am not opposing. – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:45, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ajraddatz sums up my views fairly well, but I also don’t really see the point in neutral votes/comments. If this passes, I’ll be very happy for you, and if it doesn’t, I expect I’ll support again in a few months, but I do think a few months more experience would help you :) TonyBallioni (talk) 15:45, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Global sysop for BRPever

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 15 July 2019 13:50 UTC

Hello everyone, I am BRPever. I am an SWMT patroller active in crosswiki anti-vandalism and anti-spam works. These tools will help me in dealing with vandalism and spam on small wikis. I can also read Devanagari and have basic knowledge of many languages written in it. Thank you!--BRP ever 13:50, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Global abuse filter helper for Praxidicae

Status:    In progress
Not ending before 11 July 2019 13:35 UTC

Hi everyone, I'm requesting global abuse filter helper to assist in my normal activities as a global sysop. I have held abuse filter helper for over a year on enwiki and I often request details and changes to filters globally. I primarily utilize them for tracking abuse and spam and think it would be immensely helpful. Praxidicae (talk) 13:35, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: Sure. I asked for them to be removed because I am taking an indefinite leave on enwiki because of all the recent drama. I realized after my request to remove them I should have kept EFH there (and plan to request it back) because it's useful to me globally as well, but the tl;dr is really what I said above. Praxidicae (talk) 13:57, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can confirm this was why the removal was requested. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:07, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict.) @Praxidicae: thank you for the reply, in the trust-but-verify mantra I did contact the admin that processed your removal, who has confirmed it was a self-request. This access will "work" on enwiki as it is truly global, though if you resume regular contributions there you may want to pick back up the local group. Best regards, — xaosflux Talk 14:09, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
