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).
Please note that Global rollbackers discussions are not votes. Comments must present specific points in favor of or against a user's approval.
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 (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.

:''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.
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.

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.
Hello, I am Kadı. I serve as an administrator on Commons and TrWikivoyage. Also, I am working cross-wiki, I know and read the policies, so I want to help global renamers. Sincerely,--KadıMessage 16:34, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Question: Which area do you want to help with? —MdsShakil (talk) 17:11, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MdsShakil:, I am planning to evaluate renaming requests. Also, I will be active here. --KadıMessage 17:19, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support Kadı has sysops rights on trwikivoyage and Commons recently and active in trwiki few years. He can get experience by trained on requests from trwiki and commons at the beginning and help global rename processes. --Uncitoyentalk 14:04, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose You have quite a block log on your homewiki and reasons for all those blocks seems to be harassment with the latest being on March this year. When it comes to block reasons, harassment is a serious one so I am not confident that this will be a good addition to global renamers team given that global renames often include very private information about editors. ‐‐1997kB (talk) 04:05, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose I can support you in any Turkish projects, as I did before, but I can't support you in global ones. As pointed out by @1997kB, I'd like to clarify his last block which is completely tragic. One of the Turkish Wikipedia administrators was concerned about Kadı's potential COI edits and contacted him privately, explaining that there are a few concerns based on Wikipedia's basic policies—such as NPOV—on articles written by Kadı, in absolute good faith. However, Kadı claimed that the administrator violated the child protection policy. After the VRT review and their decision, there has been no proof that his claim is valid, and he was blocked for six months for harassment. This happened in January 2022.
I don't want to see the same tragic case again, and I am sure I will not, but I share 1997kB's concerns. I cannot support this nomination. --Victor Trevor (talk) 12:44, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'll give the same answer to you which I have given to 1997kB in my previous reply. I am volunteering to serve for community, I will not criticise your vote but I want to see new examples after the block. Blocks are not criminal records of users, administrators are not judges, Wikimedia projects are not palace of justice. I wrote these in order to explain myself better, I know your good faith @Victor Trevor, and I do not have any problem with your opposing vote, my aim is not changing your ideas etc. Thanks, KadıMessage 13:20, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
In addition to the concerns raised by others given your block history on the Turkish Wikipedia, it seems (from machine translation at least) that you had engaged in sockpuppeting in the past (i.e, using multiple accounts against the policy). You'll need to explain this. Also, justifying alleged harassment by essentially saying that everyone makes mistakes is not the way to go. Leaderboard (talk) 17:04, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Leaderboard, I am not saying my attitude is correct, you can ask questions about sockpuppetry, I will answer them. Best, KadıMessage 17:21, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Kadı: Then answer my questions (to reiterate, I have asked you to explain your sockpuppetry history, amongst others). Leaderboard (talk) 19:59, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Leaderboard, Well, two years ago, I joined WP for creating my grand-dad’s article, (Kamil Tolon) he was notable but an Afd process started for the article. Then, I created accounts and voted in Afd. I was a newbie so I do not know anything about sockpuppetry. After that, administrators blocked me indefinitely. Then, I apologized and they unblocked me. That’s all about sockpuppetry. If you have question marks after this reply, please feel free to ask me again. KadıMessage 20:16, 3 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose per 1997kB and Victor Trevor. The blocks are too recent, IMO. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 09:07, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes they are but as I said before these are not criminal records of us. KadıMessage 17:34, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose blocks for behavioural issues are still too recent for me, sorry. Global rights come with a large degree of trust and see pushback from local communities at the best of times; we should never be granting them in situations where they would give access on a home project that the candidate would clearly not be trusted with at this time. – Ajraddatz (talk) 21:59, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I will say they meets my usual criterion: sysop on large wiki should be given the access. The trwp issues are thorny, but let's not forget they had an endorsement from trwp functionary above in this request Uncitoyen. However, I will caution them to try to avoid trwp renames unless otherwise uncontroversial. With this, I Support. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:41, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Support per Camouflaged Mirage and Uncitoyen above. ~StyyxTalk?^-^ 15:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm here to share my thoughts about the user for those who don't know anything about the user. User Kadı has been active on wiki-projects (starting from Turkish Wikipedia) for about 2 years. He did some mistakes at the beginning and got sanctioned after. I personally helped and supported the user during all this process and I can clearly say that, he is learning from his mistakes and tries not to repeat. So, my personnal comment about him: He is a user in good faith, has a knowledge about the policies (both domestic and global) and practical experience. For these reasons, I would like to say that he can use this authority in accordance with the policies. With being aware of sanctions that the had during the past, I believe that he will not repeat his mistakes. In order not to cause misunderstandings, I will not vote and stay neutral, but I wanted to express my comments. I leave the decision to Meta-community. With my best regards, --justinianus | talk 09:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Your request might be rejected if you don't follow the instructions. Please review Global IP block exemption. You may request Global IP block exemption via stewardswikimedia.org if you can not edit this page.
Please note: Global IP block exemption does NOT make one immune to locally-created blocks of any sort, only global blocks.
If you want to edit the Chinese Wikipedia, usually global IP block exemptions will not help you. Please see this instruction to request a local IP block exemption.

Nowadays I'm repairing errors appearing in citation templates on various wikis where I haven’t edited before. Almost all of those templates contain external links. When repairing these errors on ptwiki, I kept encountering CAPTCHAs for no edits before (not autoconfirmed). Therefore here I'm requesting CAPTCHA exempt for my global account. Thanks in advance. -- U.T. 02:22, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Xaosflux However I'd like to repair citations on other wikis as well later. I don’t want to request on each sites one-by-one. -- U.T. 17:21, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Try Krinkle's tool: Global SUL (it did fail for me when I tried the other day, so can't tell if it is working right now though. It will take care of the account creations, which for 99% of projects will lead to autoconfirm. — xaosfluxTalk 18:35, 23 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have tried it today, this script didn't work at all. Lemonaka (talk) 01:51, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
But what if a site also requires minimum edit count? Then creating a local account and waiting for several days cannot make it autoconfirmed. Let alone the script no longer works. -- U.T. 01:57, 24 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I don't think this a good idea. Unless they are very specific about what they want to do with it, I am not going to support bypassing local restrictions. Citation templates are widely used, and understanding of the language is essential in many cases before trying to fix them. If the fix is large scale, the community needs to be notified (normally bots are preferred for those fixes).--BRP ever 09:40, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Well, @BRPever, I'm going to fix those errors about invalid DOIs, ISBNs and malformed archive links. For example, some of templates has erroneous DOIs which cannot point to original journals. While I don’t read some languages, it’s still possible to find the original document itself and update its DOI inside templates (as one citation often contains ID in multiple systems, say, when DOI is invalid, its correct ISBN/OCLC is very likely to be available). These tasks don’t really involve languages itself. -- U.T. 11:01, 26 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've reviewed some of the user's recent contributions, and don't see any errors or mistakes. I would encourage stewards to be relatively generous in granting low-risk permissions where they might aid volunteer efforts, even just by removing some red tape. – Ajraddatz (talk) 17:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
+1 to BRPever concerns, I will think this right should not be needed as community approval will be desirable. I am all for users to be given rights to help communities, but I don't want people to see meta overarching into local processes. For those which need edit counts, I think they aren't that much and if we are running scripts across wikis, they ideally need to be on SRB on Global bots or similar. Sorry I know this is a good faith request, but I am thinking involving local communities might be a better approach than here. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 11:48, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
