'''InterfaceGlobal interface editors''' are trusted users who can edit all pages including the [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Namespaces#MediaWiki|MediaWiki namespace]] on all wikis. They maintain templates and the site's JavaScript (<code>*.js</code>) and Cascading Style Sheets (<code>*.css</code>) resources. This permission is enabled on every public Wikimedia wiki that shares access via CentralAuth and SUL, and is only to be used for non-controversial maintenance, or by request of the local community. Since users in this group can seriously disrupt Wikimedia wikis if used incorrectly, the interface editor permission is only assigned to users who have a strong track record in maintaining code and scripts.

This global group, named "'''{{int:|group-global-interface-editor}}'''" (<code>global-interface-editor</code>, also known as '''global interface admins'''), is enabled on every Wikimedia wiki that shares access via CentralAuth and SUL (<small>including [[Special:MyLanguage/Closed wiki|locked (closed) wikis]] and excluding [[Special:MyLanguage/private wikis|private]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/fishbowl|fishbowl]] wikis</small>). Projects may not opt out. However, global interface editors '''must not''' make any controversial edits to the interface on projects where they are not in a local user group that grants this user right.

InterfaceGlobal interface editors should avoid making routine changes to the interface on larger wikis without prior agreement. Projects with established communities and processes for maintaining scripts should be avoided. Wikimedia Foundation staff who are editing the interface as part of their official duties are exempt, as the Wikimedia Foundation has its own internal policy regarding staff and user permissions.

If disputes arise with local communities, all efforts must be taken to resolve the issue(s) calmly. If in doubt, global interface editors are advised to post advanced notice of their edits to the local community via a community noticeboard, explaining what the edits will achieve. If disputes still cannot be resolved, a [[request for comment|request for comment]] may be initiated, or a review may be requested from any steward.

</div>

InterfaceGlobal interface editors should also create a [[Special:MyLanguage/Global user pages|global user page]] where they explain that they have these global permissions and how they may be used (i.e. by linking to this page).
