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]] ===

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

::''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.

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.

To request global IP block exemption
Copy the template below to the bottom of this section and explain why you need the access and why you're suitable. If needed, link to relevant discussions.
=== Global IP block exempt for [[User:Foo|Foo]] ===
{{sr-request
|status = <!--don't change this line-->

<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 user from Mainland China. Because of the goverment policy, I have to use VPN to access Wikipedia(zh and zh-yue). I have already edited something article. But I can't do it anymore since you have blocked the IP of my VPN. So I am applying for the global IP block exemption. Your early answer will be appreciated. Thank you. --Chinen Sieru (talk) 09:03, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
I can see you are not granted IPBE at zhwiki, please advise whether you need that or not since GIPBE cannot bypass local block.--Hamish 15:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Yes. Because I need GIPBE to edit zh-yue wiki. --Chinen Sieru (talk) 16:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
I am living in Mainland China and I am using VPN to browse and edit Wikipedia. But I got my IP blocked, so I'm requesting GIPBE here. Thanks for the help. --K.K.Serbia (talk) 03:50, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
K.K.Serbia, do you plan to edit zhwiki only or other Wikipedias and Wikimedia projects as well? --Base (talk) 23:18, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Sometimes I access Wikimedia projects from corporate, hotel or railway networks whose IP ranges are often blocked locally or even globally under the No open proxies guideline. I'm an editor for more than decade without a single personal block and are currently admin on Wikimedia Commons, so I'm requesting GIPBE here. Thanks for the help. --MB-one (talk) 20:02, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
MB-one, granted. Please be aware that GIPBE only helps with global IP blocks. You will still need local permissions to deal with local blocks unfortunately. --Base (talk) 23:12, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
As I recall, I requested a temporary global IPBE for my mobile account - it has since expired. I still edit via blocked VPNs when I'm out in public so the flag would be much appreciated. --Hiàn (talk) 20:47, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
Granted for 2 years to expire on 2019-09-19. , hope this is reasonable enough :) --Base (talk) 23:21, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
I come from China. I use VPNs to edit.Because China was blocked all language Wikipedia since 23 april 2019.--Cz4523 (talk) 12:06, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
granted, take care. --Base (talk) 23:07, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
After years of creative editing I now find I can't edit Wikipedia - completely out of the Blue, thanks, --Kevinalewis (talk) 13:52, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Kevinalewis, do I understand correctly that you are using an IP that Jon Kolbert has blocked and it is a free VPN you have to use due to some circumstances? I see no reason not to fulfil your request though once this is clear. --Base (talk) 22:44, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
I live in mainland China and need a VPN to access Wikipedia as well as some other MediaWiki projects. I was already given exemption on Chinese Wikipedia, but still need a global IP block exemption to edit other wikis. Your prompt reply is highly appreciated. --H2NCH2COOH (Talk) 14:11, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
I see no problems here, so granted --Base (talk) 22:49, 19 September 2019 (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.

Hello, my name is SimmeD. I'm an active sysop on Danish Wikipedia. I'm a former OTRS-volunteer for the Danish queue. As of right now we do not have any GR that have danish as native language, and I would like to be able to help with name changes for our Danish speaking wiki's. I'm able to speak Danish, English, Swedish, Norwegian and a small amount of German. I'm a semi active user since I have my study, but just because I'm not editing doesn't mean I'm inactive. I'm active at IRC, and perform administrative tasks on the wiki's I'm sysop on. Then I also just time on Commons as a file-mover. But all in all, it would be great to have a Danish speaking GR. Fell free to ask any questions if there are something you guys are need to know about me or my work (or any question in general). --SimmeD (talk) 07:29, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Support. Looks okay to me. Sounds good to have a Danish-speaking GR. Hiàn (talk) 21:41, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
Support sysop on da.wiki and da.wq. Trusted in a significant language group, so the help will be appreciated. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:28, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Support Administrator on dawp. Shouldn't be a problem to have a global renamer with Danish as a native language. EPIC (talk) 17:02, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I'm Track13. I'm mostly active on Russian Wikipedia, where I'm an active sysop and bureaucrat. There is no significant delay on ru:ВП:ПУЗ queue now, however, the majority of requests are handled by one renamer and I'd be happy to help. Also, I will be able to handle local requests on Belarusian wikis (be and be-tarask) if local communities want that. I've reviewed and understood the Global rename policy. Thank you for your time and comments. Track130_o 15:15, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
Support. Freshly elected bureaucrat on ru-wiki where we currently have only three global renamers, not all of them being continuously active. The help from Track13 would be highly appreciated. — Adavyd (talk) 23:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I'd like to join the New wiki importers group to help out with importing new wikis when they're created. I have experience importing XML files, including editing the XML files with regex to remove prefixes and other oddities. I have previously imported the Neapolitan Wikisource, the Txikipedia content on the Basque Wikipedia from Vikidia, and at least one more wiki that I can't remember (that was quite a few years back).
