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).

=== Global sysop 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)|+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). 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 IP block exemption

Shortcut:
SRIPBE

Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewards(_AT_)wikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.

Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.

If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see this instruction to request a local 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;

To request global IP block exemption: Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.

=== Global IP block exempt for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status = <!--don't change this line-->
 |domain = global<!--don't change this line-->
 |user name = {{subst:REVISIONUSER}}
}}
<Add an explanation here>, thanks, --~~~~

The request will be approved if there is demonstrated need for the permission, such as bypassing a global block from someone who is not the intended target.

Global IP block exempt for Liouxiao

Status: In progress

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

Hi, my VPN IP address (162.220.14.232) is in the block IP range, I cannot edit articles (especially at zh.wikisource.org) most of time in the past several months. Could you unblock the IP address of 162.220.14.232? Or could you at least unblock it only with a logged-in user (like me)? Thanks, --Liouxiao (talk) 12:53, 4 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Global IP block exempt for Horzagger

Status: In progress

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

Hello, I am a nomad worker around the world and I very often connect on the Net with unsecured connections, then I prefer to use a VPN, and I use Tor in some regions of the world. I need to be allowed to connect with my VPN and with Tor on Wikipedia. (I have sign up on fr.wikipedia with my VPN, and I want to participate on several wikis of the Wikimedia Foundation). Thanks, --Horzagger (talk) 03:36, 5 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

@Horzagger: All your edits are only to this cite? Ruslik (talk) 09:32, 11 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

@Ruslik0: Hello, sorry I'm new on Wikipedia, and I can't edit because all the IP addresses I'm probably going to use are blocked on Wikipedia. --Horzagger (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

Global IP block exempt for CoconutLord80

Status: In progress

Global user: CoconutLord80 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )

<(Sorry for spelling errors) I use Cloudflare's DNS service 1.1.1.1 , as well as a VPN ocaionaly. I love editing Wikipedia and making it a better sight. My ISP's DNS is extremely slow so it is extremely hard for me to edit without 1.1.1.1. I need this exemption because otherwise, I will not be able to edit Wikipedia and make it better. I hope that you will understand my situation and help me. >, thanks, --~~~~

You can use 1.1.1.1 DNS service without the VPN by selecting "1.1.1.1" and not "1.1.1.1 with WARP+" option in the settings of your 1.1.1.1 app. If your DNS is the only problem, you can simply use the 1.1.1.1 settings without the VPN. Is it sufficient or do you still need VPN after trying that options? — regards, Revi 01:11, 21 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

(Even though your mobile OS will report you have connected to "VPN server", for simple 1.1.1.1 settings, it only routes DNS traffic to Cloudflare, and all other traffic doesn't route Cloudflare. WARP+ routes all traffic through Cloudflare.) — regards, Revi 01:12, 21 December 2019 (UTC) [reply ]

Global IP block exempt for 它是我 and Prins Jan de 1e

Status: Done

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

Please permit me to edit with the IP block exempt. I am using an open proxy due to the fact that I connect to internet using a VPN connection which is permanent on our home-router. Due to the nature of VPN, it is likely that my IP-address will often change. My main account is 'Itsme' and that account has already been granted permission to edit with the IP block exempt (a few years ago) for other reasons. I mainly have been active on the dutch Wikipedia under my main account 'Itsme' and as my sock puppets '它是我' and 'Prins Jan de 1e'. Thanks, --它是我 (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

I confirm that both '它是我' and 'Prins Jan de 1e' are my sock puppets.Itsme (talk) 14:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Global IP block exempt for User:OxonAlex

Status: In progress

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

I quite often attempt to edit using public WiFi on trains, but find these IPs to be globally blocked quite frequently. For example, I'm currently editing from 35.178.115.66, which is rangeblocked, and used by en:Avanti West Coast's WiFi network. I have also had the same problem on other operators. Not really a massive issue, but would be convenient to be able to edit from these networks.

Global IP block exempt for 恨国党非蠢即坏

Status: In progress

Global user: 恨国党非蠢即坏 (edits ^(alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )

I would like to contribute to en:wikt (edits I've made). But I need an open VPN to connect now. Please give me an IP block exemption. Thanks, --恨国党非蠢即坏 (talk) 10:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

You should request local ipbe on the enwiktonary. I don't found any xwiki edits. So gipbe may not be a good solution for you. Renamed user uofgjwfojfowubwofemipvwjboiw (talk) 11:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

@User:Renamed user uofgjwfojfowubwofemipvwjboiw But I am sure I am blocked by a global ban. A global exemption is a natural solution to a global ban. If the ban on me is undue on en.wikt, so it should be elsewhere. And I may edit on some more wiki projects in the future. 恨国党非蠢即坏 (talk) 19:14, 3 January 2020 (UTC) [reply ]

Please allow me to use it to enhance my account security. Many thanks ahead. I confirm I read the instructions how to use 2FA here on Wikpedia.
