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.
Successful global rollback requests require no fewer than 5 days of discussion, while successful global renamer and global sysop discussions require no fewer than 2 weeks. 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).

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 [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!-- don't change this line -->
|domain = global <!-- don't change this line -->
|user name = Username
}}
::''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 (other than requests that are unlikely to pass under any circumstances, no other 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.

|status = <!-- don't change this line -->

:''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.
Hey all; Riley here. This may seem premature in the sense that I actively have an open meta RfA, however, I have had quite an afternoon where global sysop would have been a major benefit. Let me walk you through my afternoon dealing with one LTA:
Triggered abuse filter while attempting to remove vandalism on each
While this is far from an average day, global sysop would benefit me in my work on the SWMT by being able to block these LTAs, nuke the pages, bypass abuse filters and most importantly, increase response time while decreasing the need for steward involvement (although in this case, these IPs ultimately needed steward intervention). While this LTA will have chilled out by the time this request closes, I would like to have the tools to be helpful and this is the next logical step towards that.
For those who do not know my background, I am an active member of the SWMT and live on IRC in #wikimedia-stewards where I spend most of my time talking to StewardBot whether it be through @steward or editing SRG. I am a global rollback and an admin on a content project (Commons). For those interested, I live in the UTC+-8 which would also be beneficial.
I meet the global sysops policy in terms of userpage requirements and having 2FA enabled. ~riley(talk) 00:21, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Support Okay. The reason is a bit tricky (one day's experience is rarely enough), and I thought Canada always has a UTC -X form and not UTC +8 as you claimed. But there's nothing against you. Leaderboard (talk) 03:08, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
@Leaderboard: You are correct! I am UTC minus 8; I'm not sure how long I have been saying I am plus 8. Good catch. That said, I hope you would be opposing me if you believe I have "one day's experience" - I encourage you to vet me using the tools above to see that is far from the case, especially the crosswiki-ness and crossactivity tools. ~riley(talk) 03:24, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

At the time of the request, I had 2FA enabled. To be completely transparent; I disabled it for a period of time to run mass undeletions using pywikibot on Commons as it was quicker than setting up a bot password and I had yet to be granted the GS permissions. 2FA is now re-enabled and I have setup a bot password for future use to ensure I comply with the policy once I am a GS. ~riley(talk) 00:09, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
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.
Please note that global renamer discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.

I am a longstanding (if sometimes controversial) admin on the English Wikipedia, and sometimes deal with unblock requests for username changes. I have recently advised somebody to contact a global renamer as part of the procedure to unblock them, and having seen a protege of mine acquire global renamer rights here, it seems like a reasonable idea to request them myself. I have 2FA enabled. Ritchie333 (talk) 18:14, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Neutral Not convinced - are there a lack of global renamers on the English Wikipedia? Not sure from your request that we need another member. Leaderboard (talk) 21:57, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Enwiki represents ~30% of the users, edits, etc from across the Wikimedia network. Their practice of a) having a relatively restrictive username policy and b) requiring users to change their name as a condition of unblocking means that there is always work for renamers there, particularly admins who are actively involved in answering unblock requests. – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Support trusted user, fair rationale. – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:25, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
Support Compelled by the username policy for enwp, which I am quite unhappy with (frankly their rationale is what almost every enwp sysop gave when they came here to ask for this right). Per my previous supports, one more enwp sysop given the right and uses them is one less work for renamers who homewiki isn't enwiki. This seems valid and fair. I will think we might as well bundle Global rename with enwp +sysop as there are almost certainly these arguments raised per Ajraddatz which justify and make there a consensus to grant the request despite arguments like Leaderboard ones which are valid. Hope Ritchie333 will take it slow and take advice from more experienced renamers when in doubt. Just a sidenote, I also don't know why a username NotButtigieg can be seen as famous / impersonation of Pete Buttigieg, it's not. --Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:04, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Support per Ajraddatz--MrJaroslavik (talk) 10:23, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Support Ritchie is a trusted user with justifiable use case for this permission. Although they likely won't use it often, I don't think we should pretend there is a limited number of global renamer spots; I am happy to support most experienced enwiki admins for this right in relation to their use as part of unblock requests due to the enwiki username policy. ~riley(talk) 17:25, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Support Sufficient trust, defined need, and little/no possibility of abuse. Vermont (talk) 17:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Support Trusted enough, no reason not to. --Kostas20142 (talk) 17:38, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
Support obviously. Sysop on our largest project who is trusted by the community. He would be a welcome asset to the team. Additionally, Ritchie333's unmatched dedication to content work amongst the current admin corps on en.wiki means he will bring a much needed perspective to meta and mailing list discussions of someone who is actually on the ground doing the work that all of us--regardless of the language group-- are here to support.

=== Global IP block exempt for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request

<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.
I am a zh Wikipedia editor and I edit other WMF wikis from time to time. Chinese government has blocked across dozens of WMF projects nowadays. So I have to get over the burden with proxies, but I also happen to be banned from contributing because of blocked open proxies. I need to edit Wikidata, Wiki Commons, Meta and I may do minor changes on other liguistic Wikipedias. I think I need a GIPBE first since I don't contribute to other WMF wikis so often that I have to request IPBE per site.--チルノ (talk) 15:59, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
I am an editor in zh-wikipedia and other Wikimedia proects. I usually make my contributions through public network, and thus my IP address is blocked on all Wikimedia wikis all the time. As a result, I think I need GIPBE so I can edit normally. I have sufficient experience on editing and I can make sure I will use this right appropriately. --TongcyDai (talk) 08:48, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
