Steward requests/Global permissions

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 Fehufanga

Not ending before 1 February 2024 13:17 UTC

Hi, I'm Fehufanga. I'm an active SWMT patroller, sysop on simplewiki and idwiktionary (itself a GS wiki). I often find the need to use admin actions on GS wikis such as deleting pages and blocking users, so I am here to request Global Sysop rights. Thank you for your consideration.--*Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page ♮ 13:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Global CAPTCHA exemption for TechnoSquirrel69

Status:    In progress

Reinstating my previous request as I was just prompted to complete a CAPTCHA twice on the Japanese Wikipedia. I am still expanding the number of wikis I patrol when I do cross-wiki counter-vandalism, so it's likely that I'm going to continue to encounter this issue as I move into the larger wikis which have edit count requirements for autoconfirmed. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:41, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some projects explicitly ask to increase their threshold for auto-confirmation, generally large projects with active communities (as jawiki would be). We are not looking to bypass their decisions with what is meant to be a flag for certain accessibility reasons. You may ask those projects to confirm you early. — xaosflux Talk 01:53, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again, Xaosflux! To be clear, I'm not trying to game autoconfirmed on a wiki that's passed edit count requirements, I'm sure I'll get to that point eventually. I'm just trying not to be encumbered by a spam-protection measure, which should be acceptable under the suggestions provided by the CAPTCHA exemptions policy/guideline. I'd hope at this point that I have enough of a track record that spamming's not a concern! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:22, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
