'''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) wikiwikis]]s 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.

Continued access to the interface is dependent on activity and community trust.

*'''Misuse or abuse''': If this permission is used for any actions which are controversial, such as major additions or removals to a site's interface, or continued disruption due to errors, access will be revoked by a steward. Requests can be made to any steward by placing a request on [[Steward requests/Permissions#Removal of access]] or, in emergencies, the {{irc|wikimedia-stewards}} IRC channel.

*'''Inactivity''': If an interface editor has made no global edits to the interface for six months, the permission may be revoked by a steward.<br /> Wikimedia Foundation staff accounts are exempt from this policy when the rights are assigned for WMF purposes, but the permission may be removed at the request of the Wikimedia Foundation when it is no longer needed.

Review of an interface editor's actions can be requested from any steward or via [[Requests for comment|Requests for comment]].

If disputes arise with local communities, all efforts must be taken to resolve the issue(s) calmly. If in doubt, 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.

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).
