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).

Requests for global rollback permissions

[edit]
Shortcut:
SRGR
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.

Global sysop for Galahad

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 4 March 2025 05:28 UTC

Hello everyone,

I'm requesting Global Sysop rights to support in Global sysops/Speedy delete requests and GSR. Although my crosswiki maintenance activity is limited due to my circumstances in Venezuela, I have a significant amount of crosswiki experience.

I have been a sysop on eswikivoyage for the past twelve years and a rollbacker on several wikis, including eswiki and eswikiquote, gaining valuable experience with the sysop toolkit. After my account was compromised in 2018, I implemented two-factor authentication. Best, --Galahad (sasageyo!)(esvoy) 05:28, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

At the time of voting, I'd forgotten that Galahad was also the founder of WikiSP and I am very well aware of Galahad's tireless efforts to improve small projects. And I'm sure that if Galahad's IRL situation permits, he would in fact increase his activity levels, but can't because of the political situation in Venezuela, completely out of his control. As such, I'm changing this to a Support Support. //shb (t • c) 03:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ajraddatz: While I typically refrain from addressing opposing comments without a direct question, I feel it's necessary to respond this time. It's great to see your response to my request; our last interaction was in the OC from 2020-2022.
My justification for my low crosswiki maintenance activity due to the crisis in Venezuela may seem like an excuse, and I don't intend to change your perspective on this.
Regarding the impasse with DerHexer (the "DerHexer-Aopou-Galahad incident"), I invite you to discuss my perspective privately on IRC or Discord. This isn't about changing your opinion on your oppose comment, but rather about providing you, as a knowledgeable steward and U4C-Com member, the complete context for a fair and impartial judgment. Best, Galahad (sasageyo!)(esvoy) 18:55, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to expand a bit more on a couple of pieces here. First, regarding activity, I certainly do not expect people to be spending excessive time on Wikimedia projects - in fact I counsel against it. This should be a hobby and I completely understand when people have other real-life commitments or factors limiting their participation. However, global sysop is a sensitive right that grants advanced access with very little supervision on hundreds of wikis. I need to be able to see that a candidate would be capable at using the tools across multiple languages, on some projects that are hostile to outside user involvement, and in some difficult and unclear situations. 13 potential sysop actions in the last few years is just simply not enough for me to evaluate, though if there is other work I am missing please do let me know.
I will reach out on the DerHexer conflict, but I want to note that this does concern me quite a bit. As a global sysop, it is highly likely that someone will express disapproval with one of your actions at some point or another. How you react to that disapproval is very important, and taking revenge against users expressing disagreement with you is quite fundamentally opposed to proper behaviour in that case. The fact that such actions appear coordinated with the person who first supported this request 10 minutes after you created it, and who is also an eswikivoyage admin, is a further level of concerning. Additionally, DerHexer's comments here were not incivil or otherwise problematic. Even if there is a very good justification that I am not considering, I consider this behaviour to be quite incompatible with sysop-level access, but I will hear you out and respond here again once I have. – Ajraddatz (talk) 19:56, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that I have talked with Galahad, and it seems that the removal of the confirmation votes was at DerHexer's request rather than coordinated between Galahad and Aopou, and that Galahad opposed DerHexer's confirmation after being pinged onto Aopou's talk page and disagreeing with DerHexer's message there. That does relieve some of my concerns, though I remain concerned with a lack of experience, and I'm still not fully sure what to think about the (now removed) opposes on DerHexer's confirmation. Changed to a normal oppose, and would feel comfortable supporting once the candidate gets more experience in this area. – Ajraddatz (talk) 23:42, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for global rename permissions

[edit]
Shortcut:
SRGREN
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 -->

 |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.

Global rename for Malarz pl

[edit]
Status:    In progress
Not ending before 8 March 2025 21:59 UTC

I am asking for global rename permissions. I've read Global rename policy. I am sysop of pl.wiki since 2006 and bureaucrat there for one year. I'm also bot operator on several wikis (mostly pl.wiki of course), including bot with sysop permissions on pl.wiki (pl:user:malarzBOT.admin). Malarz pl (talk) 21:59, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not entirely convinced by candidate's answer to Codename's question – why would you ever consider applying for GS when you have no cross-wiki experience? I'm not entirely sure the candidate understands what global permissions are for, but I'll abstain for the timebeing. //shb (t • c) 04:05, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Should I wrote that I want to help others by changing their usernames, probably focusing more on the pl community? After all, that's obvious. This permission is so narrowly defined that it's impossible to indicate the need for it in any other way. In the case of global admin, you could specify a group of wikis, type of tasks, etc. Here, there is one task, and the permission has no local equivalent. So I presented my other motivations.
