Steward requests/Global permissions
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).

I have been removing vandalism on several projects, and I believe that adding the global rollbacker permission will make fighting vandalism more effective. I have been an administrator on the Swedish Wikipedia since 2007, and I am a rollbacker on Wikidata and on the English, Spanish, and Simple English Wikipedias. I have read and will comply with the Global rollback policy. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sjö (talk) 07:25, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Hiya, I was granted GIPBE last year as I travel and use VPNs frequently (as I'm often in places where I don't feel comfortable using exposed wifi), and I noticed that my IPBE will expire in a few months. Can this be extended? > Asheiou (they/them • talk) 02:56, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

Abuse filter helper for Jon Harald Søby
edit- Global user: Jon Harald Søby (edits (alt) • CA • global groups • crossactivity • verify 2FA)
- Not ending before 19 February 2025 08:53 UTC
I'd like to be added to the Abuse filter helpers group so that I can view global abuse filters, and possibly help improve them if I can. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 08:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

- Support no-brainer. //shb (t • c) 11:58, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jon Harald Søby:, it is not clear on why you want the right - right now it just reads that "I want the right because I want the right" which isn't really helpful, especially since you cannot edit filters as an AFH, and "global" abuse filters live on Meta-Wiki. I'm not looking for depth here, but some reasoning is needed. Leaderboard (talk) 12:06, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Leaderboard: Good point. I am an abuse filter editor on the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia (nowiki) and the Wikimedia Incubator, and what led me here today was a question from a confused user on the Incubator who was prevented from saving a valid edit for no obvious reason; I wanted to at least get an idea about what the filter was about, so that I could advise the user about what they should do, but couldn't even see what the filter's purpose was. I took a look in Phabricator to see if anyone had suggested letting local AbuseFilter editors view global filters, and found phab:T373311, where the first comment suggested the approach of becoming an abuse filter helper. Hope that clears it up. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:43, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- OK, Support. It sounded at first that you'd be better off with limited adminship especially since you want to edit filters eventually, but that discussion can come later. Your reasoning is fine. Leaderboard (talk) 15:26, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
