Hi, I have read the help page (on en.wikipedia and meta-wiki) about 2FA, and I am fairly cybersecurity focused (honestly kind of annoyed that I can't easily use multiple proxies on Wikipedia) and would like to enable it, thanks, --BentleyBaley (talk) 00:25, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

What do you expect this will do regarding using proxies? — xaosflux Talk 00:44, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Nothing with that specifically, just an off-handed comment that got in my head after scrolling passed the Global IP Block Exempt requests; I really don't need that though. I simply like to use TOTP because it's like a million times more secure BentleyBaley (talk) 00:58, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Requests for other global permissions

Global edit interface for Krinkle (renewal)

The following request is closed. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Status:    Done
Not ending before 08:18, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, it's that time again! I use the global interface editor permissions to develop various gadgets and help maintain other gadgets and site scripts across the wikis, especially in response to changes made to the MediaWiki software, to ensure they remain compatible and follow best practices for performance and security, and any carry out changes as requested by local communities. I've actively served in this role for over ten years since 2011 (search, 2019 renewal, 2020 two-year renewal, 2022 three-year renewal), which expires this month. I would like to continue this work. Thanks! --Krinkle (talk) 08:18, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Status:    Done

Hello! I got a nifty reminder from Global reminder bot that my Global interface editor rights will soon expire. I'd like to request a longer appointment, or if permissible and should you have my trust, to retain these rights indefinitely. See xtools:globalcontribs/MusikAnimal/8 for some examples of my somewhat sporadic, but ongoing global interface editing. In addition to helping out fixing scripts, deprecations, etc. on an ad-hoc basis, I maintain several "global" gadgets that occasionally require me to manage their local gadget definitions. See previous requests [1][2][3] and my 2020–23 stewardship. In full transparency, I note that I also hold global-edit-interface rights with my staff account (solely for editing in a staff capacity). — MusikAnimal talk 01:27, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Jackyming

Status:    Not done

I need to use a VPN to edit Wikipedia. I would like to add language linkss this ___location, but since I'm using a proxy/VPN, I have been blocked from performing this action. I am requesting this permission for approximately two weeks. After that, I will return to a country where I can freely edit Wikipedia without the need for a VPN.

Your IP address is in a range that has been blocked on all Wikimedia Foundation wikis.
The block was made by ‪AmandaNP‬. The reason given is No open proxies .
Start of block: 2024-5-5 15:21
Expiry of block: 2026-5-5- 15:21
Your current IP address is 209.141.42.49. The blocked range is 209.141.32.0/19. If you believe you were blocked by mistake, you can find additional information and instructions in the Stewards Block Wizard. --Jackyming 13:49, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I have already been granted this permission on the main projects where I contribute, but some smaller Wikipedia projects do not have active administrators to authorize it. Therefore, I need this permission. I assure you that I will not misuse it. Jackyming 13:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I just discovered that I'm not allowed anymore to edit any WMF project where I'm not an admin. This is probably caused by the fact that I've recently started to use a VPN for privacy reasons. Using a not yet globally blocked IP address I'm able to file this request: could I please get an IP block exemption? The block is very unhelpful for my cross-wiki activities.

  Request withdrawn Hello, I would like to request the cancellation of my global block exemption request. After studying the issue in more detail, with the support of an experienced Wikipedia user on the use of VPNs, I understand that technically it would not be possible to obtain this status due to violation of operator guidelines, as analyzed by the steward. I prefer not to go into details, as this is a case that has already been analyzed by the UTRS. In any case, I reaffirm my commitment to continue contributing to Wikimedia projects, regardless of whether the block exemption status is not granted. Thank you.

Global IP block exempt for Peterxy12

Status:    Not done

Dear Administrators,

I am writing to request an exemption from the global IP block currently affecting my contributions. My editing activity is conducted from the following IP address 103.135.102.86 Reason for Request: I use this IP because Wikipedia blocked by gfw, I have consistently adhered to Wikipedia’s policies, as demonstrated by my past editorial record, and I intend to continue doing so.

I understand that this exemption is granted at the discretion of the administrators and may be reviewed periodically. I commit to following all established guidelines and will notify you if my circumstances change.

Thank you for your time and consideration. --Peterxy12 (talk) 13:11, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

  Not done the IP-range you're using is locally blocked at zhwiki (and a few other projects), there is no global block [5]. Global IPBE doesn't override local blocks, see IP block exempt#Global blocks. Your local exemption at zhwiki is sufficient, you would need local exemptions at projects like ruwiki if you want to edit there. The frequency of your requests for permissions [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] doesn't inspire confidence by the way. --Johannnes89 (talk) 13:39, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a global rollbacker and an administrator on English Wiktionary, Meta and MediaWiki. I received encouragement from several active cross-wiki patrollers and I am finally running for GS after some deliberation. I am active in patrolling cross-wiki and have also made numerous requests for global sysops at GSR, of which nearly all were accepted.

As indicated by my babel box, I have native and near-native proficiency in Hindi and English and have decent skill in Sanskrit as well; along with that I have quite interest in linguistics (as also seen in Wiktionary being my home wiki), due to which I have some basic knowledge of many other Indic languages (such as Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, etc.) as well as some Romance languages (such as French, Spanish, etc.). My experience in linguistics also helps me when making sense out of and dealing with languages which are completely new as well.

As a global sysop, my areas of working would include GSR and GSRSD along with my usual cross-wiki patrolling work where having administrator tools on small wikis would be quite effective for me as well as reducing the load for other global sysops. I have read the relevant policies (both global and local) and I understand the high-impact nature of GS permissions, considering which I will always tread mindfully and take care with whatever I am doing.

Thanks for considering! – Svārtava (tɕ) 14:04, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Greetings to all my fellow Wikipedists, I have been contributing to our encyclopedia as a Wikipedia volunteer for 1.5 years. I have the right to patrol and send mass messages on my local wiki, Turkish Wikipedia, during this time I have never abused the authority given to me on my local wiki, I have contributed to the world encyclopedia Wikipedia by working day and night. I have never hesitated to learn and ask questions; it is not a shame not to know something, it is a shame not to learn. I was trying to contribute to our encyclopedia on my local wiki, now I want to contribute globally and reduce the workload of my fellow Wikipedists in the renamer group because this is an encyclopedia that provides information to our world, so I am working and will work so that people learn correct and safe information and that Wikipedia is not damaged by bad users. Even if my application is negative, I will not give up Wikipedia projects and I will continue my struggle for humanity, best regards. YG1 (talk) 22:39, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

  •   Weak oppose  Oppose due to the lack of advanced perms anywhere. Thanks for volunteering, though. //shb (t • c) 22:46, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
    @SHB2000 Yes, you are right, I need to start learning from somewhere for me to develop so that I can experience and improve myself, it is true that I am inexperienced according to you at the moment, but you wanted to improve yourself like me at the time and you succeeded, I started on this path by taking this thought as inspiration. Thank you for your thought. YG1 (talk) 22:50, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
    I definitely would encourage you to rerun once you get advanced perms on your home wiki (which I assume is trwiki), however. :) //shb (t • c) 23:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
    Okay maybe not, after learning about your troubled history on trwiki. //shb (t • c) 07:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Weak oppose Speaking from personal experience—having gone through the same path myself—it's important to start by requesting advanced permissions gradually. This will help you become more confident and capable, especially since these tools are quite sensitive. It's best to gain experience and build trust by using the most essential permissions on your home wiki or wherever you are most active. —Meruleh {talk} 23:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Weak oppose per above. Borhan (talk) 04:35, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Strong oppose This user was recently unblocked on trwiki, and I have suspicions about why are requesting GR permissions. I believe it's still a bit early to grant these permissions and fully trust the user. bright mensaje 06:16, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Comment Could you explain a bit about your block log on trwiki for users who do not understand Turkish? I'm quite concerned about the number of blocks you have received there. Jianhui67 talk★contribs 06:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Strong oppose Hello everyone,
    I feel the need to draw attention to some important issues and offer a warning. I do not believe that YG1 requested this permission in good faith. He was recently unblocked from trwiki—earlier than he should have been. The reason for the block was vote canvassing. He did this to me in 2024: he asked me to support his application, I refused, and I reported him to the authorities. Later, he publicly shared some of my personal information on Wikipedia. That was the reason for the block. Therefore, I do not believe he is a suitable user for this or similar permissions.
    Furthermore, the GR permission has nothing to do with “bringing knowledge to our world” or “helping people learn accurate and safe information.” To be honest, these just sound like empty words to me. Due to unfortunate and demoralizing experiences I have had in the past, I would like to state here that I do not wish to engage with YG1, and I once again express my opposition to this request. -- kızıl message 07:11, 21 April 2025 (UTC)
  •   Oppose. The block concerns are too strong to ignore here - global renamer is a role that does involve working with private information, and I also felt that the statement was little more than fluff (though detailed reasoning isn't required in a role like this).
