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).

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}}}} ===

Global sysop for Aqurs1

edit
The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Not done
Not ending before 12:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello. I'm Aqurs1, a global rollbacker and a sysop in Chinese Wikivoyage. As a SWMT member, I'm active in anti-vandalism and cleaning spam, especially in small wikis with no or less admins. I'm here requesting global sysop right as it can help my work be more efficient when I patrol small wikis (just like what I did in fawikt and other small wikis), I would also like to offer help in Global_sysops/Speedy_delete_requests and GSR where I made over 1500+ edits. The reason I made this application is also because multiple colleagues encouraged me to do so.

I already read and I'm familiar with local policies related to GS. If I'm granted the right, I will take it slowly to learn the toolkits and will not hesitate to ask questions to other GS or stewards if I have any doubts or concerns. 2FA is enabled. Thanks for your consideration~ --aqurs 🍧 12:35, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reconfirming my !vote. Although the mentioned iswiki incident is concerning, I believe that both parties need to improve. While I respect the opinions of BRP and Ferien, Aqurs1's cross-wiki work and dedication lead me to trust that they will be cautious and will not repeat this when collaborating with cross-wiki communities in the future. Dealing with cross-wiki abusers is a tough job; however, it must be handled with proper care and respect for the communities involved. I believe they will take this incident as a learning opportunity. – DreamRimmer (talk) 14:28, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose I'd say not now. Initially, I was going to support but the recent iswiki incident has been making me think otherwise. I expect GS to have a certain level of diplomacy skills; this situation was clearly inappropriately handled. If the user is not globally banned or wmf banned, the project has the autonomy over how they handle the content unless it is clearly inappropriate. A mass revert, followed by the argument with local admin who is telling you the edits are fine is by no means acceptable for this role. While I do find few comments by local admin unacceptable for a collaborative community; I think the other involved users also played a part for things to get that far. Thus, the oppose.-BRP ever 09:06, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks for feedback. Initially, I do not have any argument against my block. Since the block reason was 'content removal', I was just clarifying what I did actually, and I would fully respect their judgment if they consider those edits are appropriate for the community and advise against reverting them. However, the lack of communication before the block, did made me confused. The 'argument' part would be in Snævar's talk page, and that's not related of my block, it's because I believe their attitude is problematic. While I think the situation could have been managed better, but both sides need to put effort to improve it. aqurs 🍧 09:36, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Notice or warning aren't always necessary before blocks; it usually depends on the community. From what I see you asked local admin for clarification on block reason, which they did. But I do not see you acknowledge any mistake or error from your part there. Normally, unlock requests (at least on my home wikis) starts with understanding of the issue, followed by corrective measures. BRP ever 09:56, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •   Oppose Sorry, no. The concerns voiced above are clearly problematic, as is you telling a local administrator that what you said above only that show you are refusing to follow policy and assume good faith, in defense of another global rollbacker stating Please stop giving bot permissions to accounts of long term abusers. Uljas kai is a sockpuppet of Risto hot sir, so it should be blocked on sight AND NOT given flood permissions. You are a guest helping out on a wiki that has local administrators. If they don't feel the need to get rid of someone, that needs to be the end of it, and you have not demonstrated a sufficient understanding of the expected behavior of global rollbackers. The behavior seen in that incident isn't behavior I think is really compatible with that of a holder of global rights. EggRoll97 (talk) 03:14, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    'Refusing to follow policy and assume good faith' part is for threatening with the word 'block your ass', and the policy is linked to WP:ATTACK on Icelandic Wikipedia version, I really cannot AGF to them if they made harassment like that, as it should goes for both way. If they don't feel the need to get rid of someone, that's completely fine, but the serious thing is don't grant LTA bot or flooder flag, if they think it's not harmful, at least it affected our work. Although that's just a reminder of course, and we can do nothing if they still grant flags to LTA. If you believe that it's a major red flag, I'll respect your decision anyway. aqurs 🍧 03:55, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    You're still saying don't grant LTA bot or flooder flag. Granting of permission flags is at the discretion of the local administrators, and the demand made by A09 was delivered in a way that began the conversation confrontationally. You defended that "reminder", and I maintain that impacts my assessment of your judgement and communicative abilities as a global rollbacker. EggRoll97 (talk) 04:01, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd hate to break it to you, but I'm sure being on Meta-Wiki, you'll probably have found on by now that not everyone is a native English speaker. I'm not saying the way Aqurs1 responded was perfect (I certainly would've used phrasing that's a bit more calmer, but I'm also an en-N speaker), but they are also not a native English speaker and expecting them to be spot-on with communication in English goes against the entire principle of the Wikimedia Community aiming to cater to a diverse range of linguistic abilities – all the more so when the phrasing Aqurs1 used was still within the bounds of what's considered civil. I will also say it's pretty disappointing on your end to expect everyone to have that ability. //shb (t • c) 10:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Aqurs1 did not need to chime into that debate at all. They had the option to simply ignore the talk page in its entirety and remain uninvolved, but decided to chime in regardless. That is a decision that doesn't require linguistic ability to be able to make. Your point is correct that the comment they made was civil. My point is that they do not need to get involved at all. It was fully an option for them to let the discussion between A09 and Snævar continue and come to a natural end, without their involvement. EggRoll97 (talk) 02:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If block your ass is truly such an offensive comment that you cannot even bare to assume good faith that the admin could just be having a bad day, how do you intend to deal with the more emotionally charged situations global sysops face? Global sysops have to collaborate with smaller wiki admins, not find themselves in conflict with them. If a single comment stops you from assuming good faith, that shows a poor ability to work through conflict because as much as you seem to like to point to AGF, you're simply not following it. The moment you assume bad faith because of a single bad comment, as you've now explicitly stated you have (I really cannot AGF to them), your assumption of good faith has gone out the window. How can you even point to AGF when you are actively refusing to follow it yourself? --Ferien (talk) 08:40, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support no concerns. I don't see any problems on iswiki: they are the usual problems, already seen and poorly addressed by some small wiki. --Mtarch11 (talk) 04:33, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Neutral--Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 06:26, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks to those who opposed here, which made me think more about it, and let me had some reflect to myself. My main point would be AGF is a two-way street. I believe iswiki should treat all users equally, from those with zero edits to admins and bureaucrats. But when they threatened to block A09 with a statement like that, in my view, is not conducive to collaborative communities like Wikimedia. I always strive to act in good faith, and my replies to the iswiki admins were made in that spirit.
I am aware of my mistakes in the conversation, that I left confrontational comments to the local sysop, which is not ideal. My stance for the future is clear: I apologies on that, and I will not repeat this type of behavior moving forward.
Not trying to convince anyone or what, but it happened, at least this is the best thing I can do here. aqurs 🍧 14:10, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request is on hold for steward discussion pending closure. EPIC (talk) 12:35, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As per discussions among stewards, this request is unsuccessful. The main rationale for this decision is due to the concerns raised, and the opposition that has come up because of it, which has lead us to ultimately close as no consensus to promote. On the other hand, I'd like to apologize for the delay in closing this request - limited participation and mixed opinions lead to the closure having been delayed.

Global rename for Iming

Not ending before 04:58, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello everyone, I am an edit filter manager on Chinese Wikipedia, I've read the policies and guidelines about rename, and I'd like to help process rename requests on zhwiki and global rename requests written in Chinese. I noticed that the global community expects the requester of this right to have advanced permissions on their home wiki, I'm not sure whether the edit filter manager permission meets this requirement or not, but based on enwiki, I believe it does. So I have submitted my request here. If it does not meet the requirement, I'll withdraw it. Thank you! :) Yours sincerely, Iming 彼女の愛は、甘くて痛い。 04:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
