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:H:i j F Y (T)|+5 days}}''
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.

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 sysop 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:H:i j F Y (T)|+2 week}}''
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.

=== Global rename for {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ==={{sr-request|status =<!-- don't change this line -->|domain = meta.wikimedia <!-- 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:H:i j F Y (T)|+2 week}}''
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.
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.

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 {{subst:u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}} ==={{sr-request|status =<!--don't change this line-->|domain = global<!--don't change this line-->|user name ={{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}

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 request you to remove the IP ranges below from blacklist as these IP addresses are from Zscaler, a global cloud security provider (www.zscaler.com) and are legitimate.
Zscaler IP Range:
147.161.246.0/23
165.225.94.0/23
@Va-foidlma Hello, thanks for the request. In theory, editing via Zscaler should work, because of the XFF headers. I checked, and it seems newest Zscaler ranges are not in our allowlist. I uploaded a fix for that -- hopefully the allowlist will be updated in a week or so. Thank you for your patience, Martin Urbanec (talk) 20:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)reply
Although I already have ipbe on Chinese Wikipedia, I apply for this permission because of the need for cross-site editing.Thanks.--滑稽金苹果 (talk) 01:42, 6 May 2022 (UTC)reply
