I am a long-time Wikipedia editor. Occasionally, I find the IP address I am editing from has a block, even though I am logged in. This is annoying. I am currently affected by one of these blocks.

- Not done the block you ran in to is a local block, this flag will not help with that. When a local block is placed on a network address, the local administrators would need to exempt you (as the ones at your homewiki have done), or they can adjust the block. — xaosflux Talk 14:24, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to apply for global renamer permissions. My languages are hi-N, en-4, sa-2, pra-1. I have some basic understanding of other Indic languages like gu, mr, pa, bn, etc. due to interest in comparative historical linguistics and having enwiktionary as homewiki, as well as some Romance languages like fr, es; which I think would be useful for this right when dealing with usernames. Thanks, – Svārtava (t ɕ) 10:38, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

- I'd like to respond to the opposition that was caused by my too soon RFA request. I acknowledge that I was wrong in doing that but I would still like to help with renamings like initially stated in this GRN request.
- I am considering withdrawing but since only four days are remaining we can let it complete it's course. – Svārtava (t ɕ) 13:17, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Support Support - while I did feel like 3 advanced rights in 45 days was too fast, the OP has withdrawn one of them, and I do not see any benefit in "punishing" the user further. Leaderboard (talk) 13:18, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- It was never about "punishing" the user; permissions aren't anyone's rights and as A09 mentioned above, "they have not shown yet the need for the tools." --SHB2000 (t • c) 22:36, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- To be fair, what can they show? Someone applies for GR because they want to rename usernames... Leaderboard (talk) 03:19, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- I want to tell you two points: 1) You said that you weren't intending to punish the user, but by you (followed by others) opposing the RFA and changing to oppose in this candidacy is purely punitive in people's eyes. 2) How can it be that they have not shown the need for the tools? We can assume that if we granted the right to them, they would process the special:globalrenamequeue. While global renamers with Indic-language roots are always needed, I see no reason why we should oppose considering that they will not misuse the tool. As said, I am not convinced of the drama that you aroused yesterday. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:38, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- In what world is a change in vote considered punitive? I've tried avoid using this term for the better or worse, but I'll say it: hat collectors more or less cause more problems, and if requesting three significant advanced perms within 2 months is not an example of blatant hat collecting, then I don't know what is. I don't trust hat collectors because what's to say that you'd just process a few renames and then stop using the tool. GRN is still a rather sensitive permission and should only be for trusted users...and hat collecting is not a sign of trust; rather it gives the opposite impression.
- As for "As said, I [Toadette] am not convinced of the drama that you [SHB] aroused yesterday", I didn't know opposing an RfA and catching a user's red flags is the equivalent of starting drama. Not to mention the fact that OP had the choice to not rapidly request permissions – they very much had their chance to let this request pass, but instead they blew it. Not my problem for bringing up red flags, really. --SHB2000 (t • c) 07:55, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- @SHB2000: So to be clear, am I correct in understanding that the opposition to this particular GRN request is because of the RFA yesterday and the requesting rights in less time gives you the concern that I might be collecting them instead of actually intending to use them?
- Before the RFA there didn't seem to be so much opposition and as I can see there are a few precedents of getting GRN within two months of local sysop and I don't think I will process a few renames and then stop using it since I am fairly active to check rename requests frequently. – Svārtava (t ɕ) 09:00, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- If one is going to oppose a request and change their opinion in another is like they are not wanting to have the other userright that is succeeding be given to the candidate just because of the former request, therefore, the user feels a bit discouraged. Would you block a user just because they were recently unjustly blocked, and their contributions are in good faith? I know that you dislike hat collectors, but I believe in this case your sentiment began to drive users into changing their opinions, causing unnecessary drama, and so this will be 50/50 by three days. I do not want to make this discussion go deeper, just saying. ToadetteEdit (talk) 11:52, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- The hat collecting accusations are definitely discouraging. I don't mind if someone opposes on the grounds that I need more experience or points out any of my actions that are concerning to them and I am willing to learn from mistakes.
- Assuming that the requests are not in good faith is not appreciable. – Svārtava (t ɕ) 12:13, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- And people changing their opinions...is a bad thing? There is a clear difference between hat collecting and user blocks, so no, they're not comparable; again, what you call "causing unnecessary drama" is entirely on OP who had the choice to not request 3 advanced perms within 2 months. If anything, OP's insistence that their behaviour was not hat collecting (twice now, even though what was done was pretty indefensible) is also enough for me to oppose this request. --SHB2000 (t • c) 12:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have to agree with the OP here. The most in terms of the mistakes OP did was think that it's OK to get three advanced rights in 45 days. Pointed out that was not correct, and fine, they withdrew. People can change their opinion, but the grounds for the change is what made the OP unhappy. Getting two advanced rights in 45 days isn't what most would call hat-collecting, and my experience is that we start to call someone a hat-collector when they have requested many rights in a short period of time (and refused, usually) - this isn't the case with this user. SHB2000 didn't do anything wrong by pointing out the problem - people blindly changing their opinions and accusing the OP of hat-collecting just because of this is. Also: what is the community going to gain by having the OP wait for a few months for no reason? Leaderboard (talk) 13:06, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- If the OP didn't started the RFA, we wouldn't be discussing this right now. I am not blaming you, but telling you in good faith that the OP and yourself didn't do anything wrong. In fact, nobody did not do anything wrong. By the way, the fact that users did change their opinion due to the OP being a hat collector, and that your sentiment is the base of others' changed opinion should not be related to the actual need for the tools shown by this editor, which is valid. As I said, I do not want to further deepen the discussion, so let this be the last. My apologies if I said something wrong, as I do not intend to accuse anyone involved. We should generally not bring up other requests for permissions, but I should agree with what it is said above. ToadetteEdit (talk) 14:41, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- If no one did ever anything wrong, why are you problematising it? Points have been made, and no one is trying to punish Svartava. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but a fair informing is expected, hence changes in votes are not some extraordinary action. A09 |(pogovor) 15:15, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
- It was never about "punishing" the user; permissions aren't anyone's rights and as A09 mentioned above, "they have not shown yet the need for the tools." --SHB2000 (t • c) 22:36, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Not done Unfortunately, in this request we have 32 supports and 9 opposes, which gives a support ratio of around 78%. As the 80% support requirement is not met, this request is ultimately unsuccessful. Svartava, thank you for volunteering, don't feel discouraged by the outcome and feel free to re-apply in the future. EPIC (talk) 16:01, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I thank everyone for their time. I am sincerely grateful to all those who kept their faith in me and I will take the lessons from this request to improve myself and continue doing contributions for the projects. Svārtava (t ɕ) 16:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- I have once again placed this request on hold, as some doubts have come up regarding an opposing vote. If it is struck then it would also mean that this request would meet the 80% support requirements, and can thus be evaluated from there. EPIC (talk) 22:35, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Uh, sorry EPIC, but I am counting 9 opposes which are not struck. A09, Kadi, me, Hasan, Aafi, Horcus, Aopou, SHB, Aramil. Besides that, 80% + consensus is needed to promote, and imo it‘s arguable that this doesn‘t show consensus even if it would be just 8 opposes due to the fact that all opposes are pointing out one single big issue. --TenWhile6 23:08, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed there are 9 opposes - and in this case it's one of them that is being discussed (i.e it has not yet been striked, but if it is, then this request would meet the support requirements and would therefore need be evaluated from there instead).

- When EPIC asked about this in a private chat, I suggested that the request be closed as not done as the policy requirement of 80% support had not been met. Given the concerns with one of the opposes, I think there is a case to be made that the 80% requirement has been met. The decision to grant or not grant the permissions would then rest on whether there is consensus to promote. Given that none of the arguments against deal specifically with how the user would use these permissions (although some tangentially get at that), I think there could be consensus, but as I voted I will of course leave it to another colleague. Either way, absent new facts this request should be closed one way or the other. – Ajraddatz (talk) 18:13, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Update, Tanbiruzzaman switched to oppose, about two hours ago, that would make the support below 80%, but I would like to make some points. Although, as the candidate myself, I am a partisan here, please allow me to write a final post.
- By the hard 80% support requirement, this request is a vote, thus I believe switching so late when the request is on hold and decision is close to reaching, is unfair to the candidate. Additionally, the vote switch was explicitly stated to be of the purpose to make an opportunity for me to prove myself, i.e. it was made clearly made just to stop this request from passing at the end moment, which I don't see how it is fair.
- If it would be a "non-vote" discussion, this is fine, but in that case, the opposing arguments have been fully addressed: Getting two advanced rights in 45 days isn't what most would call hat-collecting; How can it be that they have not shown the need for the tools? We can assume that if we granted the right to them, they would process the special:globalrenamequeue ; what is the community going to gain by having the OP wait for a few months for no reason?
- The opposers have clearly voted so because of hat-collecting concern - SHB2000 went on to even say: OP's insistence that their behaviour was not hat collecting (twice now, even though what was done was pretty indefensible) is also enough for me to oppose this request which reflects assumption of bad faith. I invite you to judge by my Meta contributions and see if my Meta RFA (which I agree was bit too soon) was made to collect the right without having any use for it.
- Finally, I believe I have shown sufficient cross-wiki trust to not misuse the permissions, and it is seen that the request was well-passing before the Meta RFA came in.
- With this, I rest my case and trust the decision of stewards. Svārtava (t ɕ) 19:29, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Global rename for Aopou

Hello, everyone. I am a Wikipedian contributing to the Spanish Wikipedia. My roles there include Rollbacker, Reviewer, Template Editor, and Rollbacker on Wikidata, among other local responsibilities. My native language is Spanish, and I have strong proficiency in English, French, Portuguese, Italian and Arabic. The purpose of my request is to broaden my involvement within Wikimedia Foundation projects, without necessarily limiting myself to being a local contributor on Wikipedia.
I am aware that many prefer candidates to have prior experience as sysops, but honestly, my local Wikipedia often judges users harshly during candidacies. We are losing more administrators due to poor management. Most candidacies fail to gain sufficient support and are often judged for minor mistakes, sometimes dating back years. This has been acknowledged by a former administrator of Spanish Wikipedia, who expressed similar concerns.
Additionally, I couldn’t participate in the local renaming process on my Wikipedia because the renamers there do not allow collaboration or responses—it is, unfortunately, a space controlled exclusively by them. For these reasons, I am submitting my request to collaborate more broadly and to contribute with my language skills to support the Wikimedia community. This text was modified on December 25, 2024 to make a clarification that may not have been understood in the answers. —Aopou {discusión} 23:26, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral Neutral - would prefer if they were an admin and I'm not seeing any recent edits/clerking on es:Wikipedia:Cambiar el nombre de usuario. I'm not opposed to this passing though since Aopou seems fairly trusted. Ternera (talk) 05:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Comment: Ternera: Actually, my idea was to become a local renamer, but on the Spanish Wikipedia, username change requests are quite rare, and there is already someone who usually handles them—a global renamer and former administrator of that same Wikipedia. The times I wanted to respond or collaborate, I was told I needed to submit a request. So, I prefer to do it globally, especially since I have knowledge of other languages, allowing me to contribute as a global renamer. —Aopou {discusión} 06:04, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Aopou Why are you not an admin on that wiki? Leaderboard (talk) 06:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- Leaderboard: Honestly, it is one of the Wikipedias where users are judged the most when submitting a candidacy. They look for even the smallest mistake from years ago (I say this as an exaggeration, but they do search for the tiniest errors). Additionally, most users dislike candidates with few edits (fewer than 50,000 or 100,000). There are more details, but unfortunately, that’s why I was never a candidate and never submitted my application. Even though I would like to, considering we have 56 administrators and fewer than 10 are active, I prefer to keep contributing to my Wikipedia and others in different ways. —Aopou {discusión} 06:50, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

(削除) Support Support - reasoning is sensible and clerking at renamer venues tends to be unhelpful. Leaderboard (talk) 07:15, 19 December 2024 (UTC) (削除ここまで)- @Aopou:, what's going on (see your talk page)? "it has become clear to us that you or someone you know had created the account Horcus" is a pretty serious accusation, and will result in an auto-oppose without clarification. Leaderboard (talk) 05:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Apparently known to each other IRL per User talk:EPIC#Re: Horcus and User talk:Horcus#c-Horcus-20241229034100-EPIC-20241229001100, from what it seems. I haven't changed my vote so far, purely because a neutral vote doesn't affect the stats and I'd like to know more info about this before making a proper decision. --SHB2000 (t • c) 05:28, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- Leaderboard, SHB2000: As I mentioned in the EPIC discussion and as Horcus noted in their statement, we are different individuals, although we use the same IP address. He is my partner, to clarify directly. I invited him to collaborate on Wikimedia projects, which is primarily reflected in the Spanish Wikipedia, where we are both main contributors.
- He was aware of my request to become a global renamer and decided to vote in my favor, just as other users did. However, neither he nor I, despite my experience as a user, were aware that this action could be interpreted as an invalid vote due to sharing the same IP address, even though it is clearly not a legitimate sockpuppet.
- I deeply regret the situation, as it caused an issue and primarily affected another user’s request, which was eventually reopened. In summary, he is someone I know personally with whom I share an IP address, and he did vote on my request. I want to emphasize that I do not need to self-vote, let alone "tarnish" my reputation in this way, especially considering that other trusted users from my community, including administrators and former administrators, had already expressed their support for me.
- It was a serious mistake for him to intervene in my request and other votes, something he completely regrets. As I stated in the EPIC discussion, if it is necessary to withdraw my request or impose a sanction on Meta, I will accept the consequences. I sincerely apologize to those who placed their trust in me. —Aopou {discusión} 06:13, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

- Neutral Neutral for now. I'm more or less concerned by what ternera has mentioned already; otherwise I'd lean back onto edit matrix which doesn't seem too strong now, but I'm also not sure if this is because of eswiki's RfA process (as described by the candidate). --SHB2000 (t • c) 07:35, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
- I'm keeping my vote as neutral for the same reasons above. This was more or less unintended and I'm willing to trust Aopou's word on it – had Aopou known (which I don't blame them for not knowing – this isn't really meatpuppetry as Aopou never explicitly told her partner about this), I'm sure she'd have told her partner, but she didn't, and she was truly sorry and apologised for that. Horcus' votes have been struck; I think that's all that needs to be done for now. --SHB2000 (t • c) 07:24, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
(削除) Oppose Oppose per SHB2000 (sorry). I would support later if there are advanced permissions or better edit matrix (e.g. strong cross wiki track-record, etc.). I'm also hesitant because this request passing opens the global rename candidacy to lot more other users without advanced rights or strong edit matrix, which I am not sure is desirable. – Svārtava (t ɕ) 08:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC) (削除ここまで)- Changing to Weak support per Leaderboard and Gadir and the clarified rationale. – Svārtava (t ɕ) 20:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Dear team, I would also like to secure my account on the Wikimedia/Wikipedia platforms using 2FA via TOTP (I would even prefer to use it in conjunction with passkeys 😅). I have been using these procedures for years and am technically able to take care of any problems myself, as I have already implemented these procedures in my own Mediawiki instances (and other software projects).

Requests for global rollback permissions
Global rollback for Codename Noreste

- Not ending before 1 January 2025 22:21 UTC
Hello, everyone. My first global rollback request (as 64andtim) did not go well because at the time, I had limited cross-wiki experience, along with some other concerns. But as a member of the SWMT who has been fighting cross-wiki vandalism and spam (using SWViewer with over more than 3600 actions and manual undos) for a little more than a year now, I would like to apply for this permission, as the markbotedits
right and exclusions from abuse filters and the CAPTCHA would be efficient in my anti-vandalism/spam/LTA work. I also hold the rollback permission on several projects (including Meta as a local patroller, and I currently hold an advanced global permission), and I have read the global rollback policy on Meta as well as some local rollback policies on some projects, where applicable.

I will reconsider voting later today if no big objections are raised, but this is what I have to say now. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:19, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

- While I agree the edit matrix on a cross-wiki level is lower than ideal, you need to have either local rollback or global rollback to efficiently use SWViewer ( The account must have rollback on a project they want to use or global rollback., SWViewer); not doing actions with SWViewer on wikis where they don't have rollback is completely fine. Toadette, you should stop commenting on things you have no experience in. Sorry, but I noticed this trend quite a while ago and it hasn't stopped.--A09 |(pogovor) 09:21, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

(削除) Support Support Svārtava (t ɕ) 20:01, 10 January 2025 (UTC) (削除ここまで)- Changing vote to Strong oppose for the given reasons: strong suspicion of hat collecting.
- Only ~ 400 SWViewver undoes (combined from both usernames) on wikis they don't already have rollback as of now; most of their undoes by SWViewer are on English and Simple Wikipedia.
- The user's cross-wiki activity is very recent, from 4th January this year (which is one week before this request was made) and the last cross-wiki activity before that was in September 2024 (both under their old and new usernames). This is easily corroborated by global user contributions and crossactivity tool.
- Even though this GR request was passing in just 3 more days, the user requested rollback at Hindi Wikipedia just yesterday hi:विकिपीडिया:रोलबैकर्स_अधिकार_हेतु_निवेदन#Bhairava7, which further solidified the suspicion that they are collecting rights as badges. Their activity on Hindi Wikipedia is also very low currently excluding ~ 20 edits this month i.e in January 2025.
- Although their last 2 rollback requests at hiwiki were successful (after number of unsuccessful rollback requests and 1 autopatrol request), hiwiki admin User:SM7 correctly noted that the user typically gets inactive after getting rights and got very active when they had to rerequest it (since the rollback right given on Hindi Wikipedia that time was temporary). It is also said that they are very eager to get the rights.
- Lastly, although this has improved, they also seem to have poor communication or language skills and sometimes what they write is borderline confusing and full of grammatical or spelling errors. This is also the case with their comments in Hindi Wikipedia (despite Hindi likely being one of their native or near-native language). Communication skills are important especially if the right is GR which can require the user to communicate on projects and languages outside which they commonly work.
- Thus, although their work on enwiki (where they are most active) appears OK, I unfortunately do not think I trust them to consistently be able to assess edits in projects and languages they are not familiar with, especially with so low cross-wiki activity (as shown above) and other concerns. I'm willing to switch to support after sufficient experience and trust is gained. Svārtava (t ɕ) 05:31, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

- @SHB2000: Hi there, I did not want to speak but today I have to say that I consider Svartava my mentor, I am trying to follow his footsteps. I really did not know that if a request for special global rights is made on a global wiki, then it should not be made on other local wikis. Anyway, Svartava also did the same thing, please see this and this too. He too had requested for rollback on Hindi Wikipedia one time before your global rollback request, after all I am also a human being. I accept that I have made a mistake but unintentionally, I should be given a chance to prove my credibility. My aim is only to remove vandalism on a global level and there is not much vandalism and rollbackers on Hindi Wikipedia, and those who are there are not active. Please consider this global request of mine.Happy editing --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 06:46, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe it's just me, but I'd be concerned if your own mentor opposes your request as opposed to any other user. --SHB (t • c) 07:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Bhairava7: It is sad I had to change my vote. I wanted to support (as I did earlier) per assuming good faith although as SHB said on his talk page (and I pointed out above) that the cross-wiki activity is not very extensive. But I can't support after your hiwiki request for rollback.
- It is not a rule that you can't request for rollback anywhere if you are requesting for GR, BUT, your activity on hiwiki currently is very low. If you were sufficiently active there, there is no real concern with the request even if it becomes redundant to GR.
- About my request, I had requested rollback on hiwiki before GR (you can check I was active that time on hiwiki), and as far as I remember during my cross-wiki work I was suggested that I probably had enough experience for GR, so I went ahead and applied for it globally. Here, your global request for rollback was passing with full support but despite that you went to request rollback on hiwiki when you were not even active there. Svārtava (t ɕ) 07:15, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Svartava: Thanks for you're response, I always wanted to contribute to Hindi Wikipedia, but I had to leave Hindi Wikipedia due to some personal reasons. I had created many articles on Hindi Wikipedia and had also removed vandalism for a long time, but I wanted to contribute to other wikis like English and Metawiki and wanted to gain some new experiences.. One cannot work on more than one wiki at a time, although Hindi is my mother tongue and I know Hindi very well.. and I am a spokesperson of Hindi language, I have full capability to talk to you in clear Hindi and as far as support is concerned, I did not ask you to support me and If you think that I had requested only to gain power, then you should never have supported me. I consider you my mentor... today I have lost faith in goodness and good contributions.. Why did you request for global rollback? My only reason for requesting global rollback is that I want to keep Wikipedia and other wikis vandal-free... It would have been wrong if I started demanding rights in every wiki and I was not trying to break the policies and integrity of Wikipedia... So, I requested for global rollback and if you find my intention wrong... then I will never consider contributing to Wikipedia again and will give up all rights.Happy editing --- Bhairava7 • (@píng mє-tαlk mє) 07:42, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- Svartava does have an extensive history of cross-wiki patrolling – that alone is enough for global rollback. They were very well aware of the implications of GR and why it's considered such a sensitive permission.
- The same can't be said for you when it's abundantly clear that local rollback on hiwiki is redundant to global rollback (and for extra measure, if you see my x-wiki edit matrix, all the wikis which I'm either autopatrolled or have rollback on were because I obtained such perms before getting GR) – and giving GR, which gives unrestricted rollback + autopatrolled access at 850+ wikis, into the hands of someone who might just not fully understand what it gives can have unintended consequences down the road. --SHB (t • c) 08:09, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello!
Around 2 years ago, i've requested this right, but i ended up withdrawing due to my lack of experience at that time and i'm going to try again. Since my last attempt, I currently have:
- 10,000 global edits, with ~1400 reverts outside of frwiki and enwiki
- Local rollback rights on enwiki and frwiki
- Autopatrolled on Meta-Wiki
- 3 years of experience
Global rollback rights would allow me to fight against vandals and LTAs more efficiently. 2FA is also enabled on my account and i intend to fully adhere by the GR policy. Thanks! --quebecguy ⚜️ (talk | contribs) 13:16, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi All, I'm hoping to gain the Global Rollback permission. While I could be considered newer as accounts go I have a strong interest in Wikipedia Anti-Vandalism and I believe I have proven that on enwiki. I'd like to get involved in cross-wiki anti-vandalism and small wiki monitoring so I'm requesting global rollback. Thank you for your consideration, Mark — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarkRosenbaum (talk) 16:58, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
- @MarkRosenbaum: Unfortunately, this request is clearly too soon as you have very little cross-wiki activity; if you are interested in doing cross-wiki patrolling, SWViewer is a helpful tool to start. You may rerequest later when you have gained sufficient experience using it, but I suggest withdrawing this for now. Thanks for volunteering. Svārtava (t ɕ) 17:26, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

Global rollback for TypeInfo

I am requesting global rollback rights to help combat cross-wiki vandalism and disruptive edits effectively. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in identifying and reverting vandalism on multiple Wikimedia projects, including English Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Wikidata, and Commons.I regularly monitor recent changes and revert inappropriate edits using rollback tools where I already have local rights. However, there are situations where I encounter vandalism across wikis where I lack these permissions, making it challenging to act swiftly. Global rollback rights would enable me to handle such cases more efficiently and contribute to maintaining the integrity of Wikimedia projects globally. TYPEINFO (talk) 21:44, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Oppose Sorry but no, poor cross-wiki experience, only perform actions on projects which you got rollback rights. All of them are granted for about a month, and the reason for request is because they are rollbacker in other projects. I won't say it's cross-wiki hat collecter but definitely too early for gr. Thanks for your passion tho. aqurs ❄️ 23:38, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
- Thank you for your honest feedback and for taking the time to review my request. I understand that my cross-wiki experience may currently be limited, and I acknowledge the need to build a stronger track record across multiple projects before pursuing global rollback rights.I will focus on increasing my contributions to smaller wikis and actively engaging in cross-wiki anti-vandalism work to demonstrate my commitment and reliability. My intention is not to collect hats but to genuinely assist in maintaining the integrity of Wikimedia projects.Your guidance is valuable, and I will work on improving my experience and reapply at an appropriate time when I can better demonstrate my readiness for this responsibility.

I understand the concerns raised about my current level of cross-wiki experience and the need to build a stronger foundation before pursuing global rollback rights.I acknowledge that my recent activity and limited reverts, especially outside projects where I hold rollback, are insufficient to justify this request at this time. Additionally, I take your suggestion to use tools like TwinkleGlobal or Restorer seriously and will focus on gaining the necessary experience and trust.In light of this, I am withdrawing my request for global rollback. I will continue to improve my cross-wiki contributions and revisit this request when I am better prepared. Thank you again for your guidance and honest feedback.

Not done Closing early, as unlikely to pass under any circumstances. Thank you for volunteering and feel free to apply again in the future with a valid need. EPIC (talk) 17:05, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Requests for global sysop permissions
Global sysop for Ternera
- Global user: Ternera (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA )
- Not ending before 15 January 2025 18:49 UTC
Hello all,
I’m Ternera and I’ve been actively fighting vandalism on a variety of wikis - especially focusing on small wikis with no admins.
I'm requesting global sysop rights mainly so I can help with Global sysops/Speedy delete requests and at GSR, where I've made over 350 edits. It would also come in helpful while I’m patrolling recent changes and run into LTA’s on small wikis.
Currently, I’m a global rollbacker and have served as a sysop on rwwiki for the past 6 months, which has taught me how to use the sysop toolkit. I’ve made my fair share of mistakes since I've been participating on Wiki projects, but I do my best to learn from them. 2fa is enabled on my account. Thank you for your feedback.
