:because i want to do rollback in wikipedia,so i vant to have Global rollback .
*{{oppose|Not now}} I'm sorry, but global rollback requires considerably more cross-wiki vandalism fighting (meanwhile, you can use [[User:Snowolf/How to globally TWINKLE]]), and Wikimedia experience in general (under 500 global edits).--[[User:Jasper Deng|Jasper Deng]] ([[User talk:Jasper Deng|talk]]) 07:57, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
*{{CBox|#F00}} at 468 global edits, you are far too inexperienced for this userright, and failed to provide a compelling rationale for it too. Please check back on the GR policy's requirements for the permission to be granted. If you are interested in antivandalism, I would advise you to start working or keep working on it on zh_yue wiki (your homewiki) until you have significantly more experience and then join the SWMT helping out on other wikis. Only with significant and heavy use of reverts cross-wiki you should request this userright. <i><b>[[User:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">Snowolf</font>]] <sup><small>[[User talk:Snowolf|<font color = "darkmagenta">How can I help?</font>]]</small></sup></b></i> 07:59, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request global IP block exemption for my account. I've been doing cross-wiki anti-vandalism work and running into blocks on Wikivoyage projects in particular, saying my IP is blocked (this happens when I try to log into these projects to revert vandalism). My ISP uses CGNAT, so I may appear to have the same IP address as others and my IP may be flagged as spam in some cases. I already have IP block exemption on my home wiki, but it would be helpful to have it globally for the other small projects that I am effected by. Thanks, --[[User:Ternera|Ternera]] ([[User talk:Ternera|talk]]) 20:26, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Because of the Internet censorship in the People's Republic of China and Great Firewall of China, I can't access to Wikimedia Projects some page directly, so I need to use proxy to edit the Wikimedia Projects. Also ,the foundation decided force log-in on https([http://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/08/01/future-https-wikimedia-projects/]) and the https of wikipedia in China has been blocked.I need the permission of Global IP block exempt reasonably.


:Hi, are you affected by a global block or are the blocks just regular local blocks? If it is the latter, global IP block exempt will not help you as it will only exempt you from global blocks. If you are affected by local blocks, you need to request a local IP block exemption. <b>[[User:EPIC|<span style="color:blue">EPIC</span>]] ([[User talk:EPIC|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]])</b> 20:31, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

::I don't believe they are local blocks because I've had it happen fairly often.. I've definitely seen it on the Wikivoyage projects, but those are definitely not the only ones that I've been effected on - there are other small wiki projects where my IP is blocked. I have previously made a mobile hotspot from my phone to get around it. I would prefer to not use my phone's mobile data though.

I am a user of Wikidata from mainland China. Due to the GFW, I must now use a proxy to access Wikidata, but my proxy is blocked, preventing me from editing Wikidata pages. Therefore, I hope the handling staff can grant me an Global IP block exemption to avoid being affected. Here is the reason for my block:

Hello, I currently have GIPBE/IPBE on enWiki enabled for a period of one year. They will soon expire so I am proactively making my request to get permanent status for my GIPBE/IPBE rights since I still travel for work and do not ever expect that to change any time soon. Also, the privacy issues are still also always an ongoing concern for me although I understand that is not a great factor in the decision here. @[[User:Base|Base]] granted me the temporary rights and @[[User:Vermont|Vermont]] participated in previous discussion as well as @[[User:AmandaNP|AmandaNP]] who did not substantially participate other than being aware of it enough to close it. Thank you. [[User:Huggums537|Huggums537]] ([[User talk:Huggums537|talk]]) 00:12, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

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).

Quick navigation: Dynamic pages:
Cross-wiki requests
Meta-Wiki requests


Requests for global rollback permissions[edit]

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}}}} ===
{{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[edit]

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.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account ;
  2. 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:j F Y H:i|+2 week}} UTC''

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.

Requests for global rename permissions[edit]

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 rename policy and the global renamers policy page.
Stewards
When you give someone global rename rights, please add them to the list of global renamers and ask them to subscribe to the global renamers' mailing list.
Instructions for making a request

Before requesting, make sure that:

  1. You have a global account;
  2. You are logged in on this wiki, and the account is part of your global account;
  3. You have considered the addition of a user language box to your user page
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 rename for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ===
{{sr-request
 |status    = <!-- don't change this line -->
 |domain    = meta.wikimedia <!-- 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|+2 week}} UTC''

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). While all input is welcome, there is a hard 80% support requirement for this role as per the global renamer policy.
