Steward requests/Global permissions

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
This is an archived version of this page, as edited by Stu (talk | contribs) at 18:31, 11 August 2022 (Requests for 2 Factor Auth tester permissions: request for User:Stu). It may differ significantly from the current version .
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

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:j F Y H:i|+5 days}} UTC''

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

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

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. Please note: Since 2019 all global sysops are required to have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Global sysop for QueerEcofeminist

Status: In progress
Not ending before 24 August 2022 17:55 UTC

Hello, thank you for reading my request. As I am fighting cross-wiki vandalism, cleaning copyvios, reverting bad edits for a while. Community granted me GR two years ago and being involved in the cross-wiki work has taught me to deal with vandalism and bad edits in those languages which I don't know. I have been sysop on two projects mrwikisource(Permanent) and mrwikibooks(temporary) for 2+years. So I know how to use and (definitely!)how not to use the sysop and interface sysop permissions. I take things slowly and when I am unsure I allow others to take up the task. And I know I won't miss use the permissions. thanks QueerEcofeminist🌈 17:55, 10 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]

Global IP block exempt for Gameknighter

Status: In progress

<Hi, would like to apply since i often use a VPN to access sites normally blocked for people from the EU due to lacking regard for GDPR compliance. This includes, as a relevant example, many American news sources for usage as part of my work on Wikipedia. Even if I have not used them yet, I very much intend to on the en-wiki. I know i am quite new and have done mostly small edits and copyediting or recently a translation to German on meta-wiki (see IP block exempt). Earlier today, while attempting to correct some spelling and grammar mistakes on an article in the German Wikipedia, I suddenly received a message about being blocked for 1 year due to usage of an open proxy. I quickly switched off the VPN, after which I could not find that block or notfication anymore. I first went to the local Administrator ’s site for requests of that Wiki, the de-wiki, and posted my request there, where an Admin (specifically Johannnes89 recomended me to instead apply here, see this thread>, thanks, --Gameknighter (talk) 17:56, 7 August 2022 (UTC) [reply ]
