Steward requests/Global permissions

Shortcut:
SRGP

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.

Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

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:H:i, j F Y (T)|+5 days}}''

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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS

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 sysops policy.

Stewards: When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops mailing list.

Please note that Global sysops discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

You have a global account ;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;

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. If you previously requested that right, please add a link to the previous discussion(s).

}}
::''Not ending before {{subst:#time:H:i, j F Y (T)|+2 week}}''

The request will be approved if consensus to do so exists after a period of consideration of no less than two weeks (no exceptions are allowed no matter how obvious the result may seem).

Global sysop for Operator873

Status: In progress

Global user: Operator873 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)

Not ending before 11 July 2020 02:18 UTC

Greetings and salutations. I'm requesting the global sysop toolkit in order further expand my efforts against global spam, LTAs, and, occasionally, low level vandalism. I have found a lot of pleasure in seeking out hidden spam links and combating spambot activities. The bulk of my xwiki activity is related to this end and therefore does not reflect actual edits as evidenced by my frequent requests on SR/G. However, with the global sysop tool set, I'd be able to take more direct action on the items I find. I'm currently a Sysop and CheckUser on the Simple English Wikipedia and the writer/owner of GlobalSysBot (the Global Sysop Bot). Thank you for your kind consideration. Operator873^talkconnect 02:18, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support Operator's a very competent and trusted user, to whom the GS toolkit will be very welcome. His contributions to the GS workflow with the GlobalSysBot are great. Though his edits may not reflect that, he's very active crosswiki, mainly fighting spam, which we are always needing help on. Good luck! —Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} 02:43, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Global rename for Nadzik

Status: Done

Wiki: meta.wikimedia.org (list 'crats • bot policy • summary • 'crats rights)
User: Nadzik (talk • edits • logs • UserRights • activity • CentralAuth • email • verify 2FA)

Not ending before 8 July 2020 11:51 UTC

Hi! I would like to request global renamer permissions. I am an active editor on pl.wikipedia and Wikidata. Recently I've started editing af.wikipedia and joined Small Wiki Monitoring Team. I've read and learned the Global rename policy, I've also read the past requests (both accepted and rejected), in order to familiarize myself with the type of job I would be responsible for. For the moment there is only one polish speaking Global renamer and due to her duties, she has not been active in the last few months. Due to a large number of GLAM accounts on pl.wiki I would also be able to help them locally, as they are usually not experienced users and the thought of META is usually overwhelming for them. I could handle the rename requests as the summer just started and I've got some more free time. I will resign these permissions when they are no longer needed or when I won't be able to use them actively. I hope that my intentions are clear, I would be happy to answer any questions if necessary. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 11:51, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Hello Nadzik, Glad to see this nomination. Could you please show any examples where you have helped with rename request or those GLAM related request on plwiki? Also could you please link where those local GLAM related request on plwiki are handled. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 06:40, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi @1997kB:, nice to see you in yet another place! I haven't had a pleasure to help any accounts just yet. Plwiki is in a interesting situation, as there used to be a page where one would contact local bureaucrats, but it hasn't been in use since 2014. It depends on a workload, but if it was necessary, I guess we could think about bringing it back to life (like enwiki page dedicated to that). Right now accounts are mostly reported to Administrators' Noticeboard and are warned with this template. Recently we had a big discussion on plwiki about the names of the accounts that are created (some of them use names of the GLAM institutions that they represent, which is against our policy), which sparked after the official account of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland was blocked for not following our policy. Cheers! Nadzik (talk) 11:06, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Fatima Al Khalidi (talk) 01:23, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Although there's no red flags, but I also don't see anything in favour despite the need of linguistic diversity in our team. I usually look for some experience in renaming related areas or sysop so that they can use rename with those rename blocks—both of which are absent here. Also on the one side you referenced that big discussion but you didn't even participated in it, which to me is not satisfying. BTW thanks for the answer to question though! ‐‐1997kB (talk) 14:58, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global IP block exemption

Instructions for making a request

Before requesting global IP block exemption, make sure that:

You have a global account ;
You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
