Global rename for TenWhile6
- Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)

Dear Wikimedians, I would like to ask for global rename rights. My home wiki dewiki has just three users active in renaming. After consulting with Itti, MBq and Squasher they would be happy to get some help. I have familiarized myself with the global rename policy and our dewiki guidelines and hope for your support. Thanks, --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 20:09, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

- Question: de:Special:Diff/238053681 Do you already make decision before officially confirmed? Do we rename a 10 year old 2 edit account with no content edits per a request in English on the German Wikipedia? --Krd 10:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @Krd, many thanks for the questions.
- 1) since last month I am watching the dewiki rename page and also looked at the archives to get Experience on how to deal with those Requests. The Question under the request was not made by a renamer, it is „only“ a dewiki sysop. The Problem is, That the Account is Not responding, so yesterday I Made a Suggestion on how to Deal With this specific Request. No user including our GRNs objected so I Said That it would be Good to Wait a week and then renaming the user. That shouldnt Look like a decision, I just took the initiative. And, if I will be elected, I will maybe make a no/yes decision on That, but without GRN i am only acting there As a normal, dewiki contributor. For an example, I also helped another User this Week [1]
- 2) Per Intro of WP:BÄ, no, because the homewiki is enwiki and he isnt contributing on dewiki… but if the contributor is speaking German and having More edits in dewp than on enwiki, it was like a greyzone and was Done by one of our GRNs this month. example From september I hold contact to all three GRNs and will ask them for help if I am unsure / in such unclear / greyzone Requests. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 10:27, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- to 1) But I unterstand that it was not well worded and could be misunterstood as a decision, so I clarified that its not a decision. [2] A GRN already answered and decided to skip the week waiting time I suggested (not needed). Thanks for the Feedback, feel free to ask of you still have questions or concerns.

- Global user: Huggums537 (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
Hello. I was finally granted the exemption on my local enWiki, and I had also previously requested here, but the request here went dormant due to the long backlog at my local Wiki. My request here was dependent on getting approval on my local Wiki. I'm resubmitting my request here on the same premise as the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 12:15, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
I think it might also be a good idea to ping @Base and Vermont: since they participated in the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
I guess I should add that there have been no changes since the previous request. I still travel for work on public wifi with the same concerns for security and privacy mentioned in the previous request. Thanks. Huggums537 (talk) 06:49, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

For context: The IP range of a /16 subnet was moved to a German ISP blocking every customer that receives an IP from this subnet.

I cannot edit any page anymore even though I’ve logged in. I’m the main contributor of the page Coco Lee but can’t edit it now. Please help, thanks! --Dustfreeworld (talk) 22:58, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
- Hi there just a bit more information. I don’t have broadband access at home and I mostly edit on mobile (4G). I don’t use proxies. There might be once or twice that I forgot to log in and edited as IPs, but all other edits were made as a logged-in user.
- And now that I can’t edit anymore (except here at meta), should I try using public Wi-Fi? Would that affect my request here? That’s very inconvenient anyway, because I’m not sure which public wifi would work, and that means I can’t edit at home…
- Thanks again. Dustfreeworld (talk) 11:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

CAPTCHA Exemption for Deauthorized
- Global user: Deauthorized (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
I am requesting a captcha exemption to aid in my (admittingly pretty recent) use of TwinkleGlobal, as I tend to get stopped by captchas on most wikis. I did try using global SUL to mitigate this, but some wikis do require some edits alongside being registered before being autoconfirmed, which tends to be the ones that I encounter most of the time. I'm not a spam-bot either, if that needs to be said. Thanks. --Deauthorized (talk) 04:18, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

I'm an admin and abuse filter editor on plwiki. My main activity on wiki is the maintenance of technical pages, incl. abuse filters. Since the global filters are now applied to large wikis, it would be helpful for me to see what kinds of vandalisms are already covered by them and to suggest improvements (and/or flag potential false positives).
