Hello! I am a former global rollbacker (had my access removed due to prolonged inactivity), and wikidata admin. I am currently active again in cross-wiki counter-vandalism and would like to apply to be given global rollback access again. Although not strictly required by the policy I have enabled 2FA. I am familiar with the global rollback policy and the local policies on using global rights, where applicable. --KonstantinaG07 (talk) 17:00, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi! I'm requesting global rollback to help out with fighting cross-wiki vandalism and spam, i use tool SWViewer, TwinkleGlobal or manual .I also have extensive anti-vandalism experience and local rollback, I hope I can help with the task and I will be happy if I am accepted. thanks 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 06:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

• Comment I'm not going to vote here, but I note that the amount of cross-wiki requests for different permissions in a short time [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] is a little concerning. EPIC (talk) 06:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @EPIC There is a reason to answer that, because of limitations that prevent me from improving. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 07:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  I won't discuss it here, but may I say a little, things like modules and others need to be monitored, especially local wikis that are not touched 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 07:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @EPIC thank you for your attention. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 07:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  You don't need to be an admin to edit modules, and this is a request for global rollback which has nothing to do with modules, nor do multiple of the rights you have requested? EPIC (talk) 07:10, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  it's in another request, sensitive module, thanks 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 11:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose thanks for offering your help. Per global rollback users must be „demonstrably active in cross-wiki counter-vandalism or anti-spam activities (...) and make heavy use of revert on many wikis“. Looking at your xwiki contributions [10] I see a handful of reverts in the past 24 hours, but other than that you don't seem particularly active in fighting xwiki vandalism/spam, which is also demonstrated by looking at the SWViewer logs: 31 log entries (undo/warnings/deletion requests) in the past 48 hours, no previous usage at all. Like EPIC I've also noticed your many requests for permissions without having the necessary experience for most of them. I would expect demonstrable xwiki anti-vandalism activities for multiple months before global rollback is an option. --Johannnes89 (talk) 07:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  with my language skills maybe not all wiki projects need to be monitored right?thank you for your attention. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 11:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose unfortunately; it does not appear to me that you know what you're doing. I do not see sufficient evidence that you have "extensive anti-vandalism experience", given that you have rollback in only one project, and no evidence of otherwise having a good edit matrix (i.e, having had prior experience reverting in multiple projects). As I indicated to you on MediaWiki, you're falling quite quickly into the "hat-collecting" pit which is something you don't want as it will make things harder for you even when you are qualified. Also: rollback tends to be an area where there are already tools you can use that do not require specalist rights (such as SWViewer and Twinkle) - you do have to mention why those tools aren't enough. Leaderboard (talk) 07:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  I've seen misuse or incorrect returns of global rollbackers with existing tolls. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:00, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Zulf:, I don't understand what you're trying to say - please clarify. Leaderboard (talk) 12:18, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  Instead of using tools, I prefer manual. I saw a global rollback tool incorrectly used 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Zulf:, I still don't understand. If you prefer manual, why not use undo? And if you saw global rollback incorrectly being used, why not contact that user? Leaderboard (talk) 13:01, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Leaderboard collaborate, just say sorry. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 18:28, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Missing crosswiki experience --Ameisenigel (talk) 07:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  with my language skills, not all projects should be touchable, right? I once saw a global rollback that wasn't correct because of the possibility of his language skills, so it seemed like they were complementary. Thank 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

• Strong oppose the links raised by EPIC are concerning - even outside of the various advanced rights, two requests for autopatrol (which is generally one of the lowest threshold rights) were declined - Meta:Requests for help from a sysop or bureaucrat/Archives/2024-04#Request for autopatroll rights and mw:Project:Requests for permissions/Zulf --DannyS712 (talk) 07:46, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you for your attention, there are parts that should be separated. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  OK, thank you for stopping by here. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

• Strong oppose Nope, I can't ever support what is evidently a hat-collector. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 07:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  OK, thanks for stopping by here. Parts of it shouldn't be discussed 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  Elaborate by "Parts of it shouldn't be discussed", please? --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 12:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @SHB2000 because it's a different room. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 18:24, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Please note that users don't generally get "limitations" on anti-vandalism activity. Permissions, and especially global or advanced ones, are wholeheartedly given to those who demonstrate incontrovertibly that they need them for doing even better something that they are already doing in an impeccable manner. --M/ (talk) 08:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  Thank you for your attention, i think i want to be better at that.and I also saw that those who were given the rights were doing something wrong, such as returning them. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Zulf: Oh dear, a few ideas but confused. How can you be sure that resigning is wrong? For instance, one can take a pause: I've returned the rights in 2016, still when I got active again, there was a consensus to reinstate the permissions I needed for my activity. Vice-versa, if your activity is low, people tend to be quite conservative in responding to right requests. I strongly suggest you to withdraw this request ASAP, and to keep a steady level of contribution for another six months at least *before* attempting again at any request for permission on all the WMF projects. This would signify that you take in serious consideration all the comments that other fellow editors expressed. --M/ (talk) 17:06, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @M7 Not a bad idea either, but I'll leave it to those concerned, and I'm also a little busy taking care of implementing Moderator Tools Automoderator on the local wiki. sorry for my behavior. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 18:23, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose, sorry. The low cross-wiki activity and very little to no reverts, if at all, and the hat-collecting requests for permissions are not what I expect for a global anti-vandalism/spam user to do. Codename Noreste 🤔 𝙇𝙖 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙖 12:51, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  thank you for taking the time. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 12:59, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Zulf: Before you request for extra permissions, you need to show us that you are trustworthy enough to hold the rights. Requesting so many permissions in a short period of time does not leave a good impression on other people. I would suggest you slow down and do actual counter-vandalism work for about 6 months before requesting again. Jianhui67 ^{talk★contribs} 18:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Jianhui67 OK, your suggestion is good. 🍃Zulf🍃^talk 18:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedists, I request the abusefilter helper permissions. I request permissions because I would like access to private abusefilters and logs. I am experienced Meta-Wiki user and a member of Small Wiki monitoring team. I have also experience in Finnish Wikipedia. I have total of 2240 Wiki edits. I would use this permissions responsibly as I have done so far in Meta-Wiki. --Julius 12345 (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

• Question: why do you want to access private abuse filters, what do you need it for? --Johannnes89 (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
• Strong oppose No demonstrated AbuseFilter involvement in any content project, and very little explanation in their request reasoning of what purpose this is going to serve. From fiwiki's AF setup, it seems a bit harder to get experience in there with the public filters (given that there is no false positive page and all reports of false positives are made direct to administrators), and abusefilter-view-private/abusefilter-view-log-private are restricted to sysops only, but I also don't see any general experience with suggested edits to the AF syntax on fiwiki, nor any specific need for the private filters. I don't even really expect that much involvement with them, just something to demonstrate that the user has some actual need for this, and that the user can be trusted. To the user themselves, please note this isn't primarily an anti-vandalism tool. The private filters, depending on which they are, can contain information that has to be held in the strictest confidence, and thus it is beneficial to all projects to ensure that the list of those with access to private filters is as small as possible, and especially so for the list of people who have access to every filter on every project in the movement, which is what the permission you're requesting would give. EggRoll97 (talk) 06:24, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

  I agree with your second point, but AFH can also be used to aid in anti-vandalism. I'm waiting for a reply to Johannes' question personally. Leaderboard (talk) 07:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

  Fair, though still not necessarily a strong use case for anti-vandalism either, given that they are only significantly active on one content project (and maybe Meta?). EggRoll97 (talk) 14:02, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Low edit count; per Eggroll97. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 23:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose. If you were an admin or work with abuse filters in your home wiki and have advanced knowledge of regular expressions, then maybe I would support, but because of that combined with the low cross-wiki edit count, I don't think I can support your request. As EggRoll97 pointed out, this role allows you to see the logs of some private abuse filters which may contain sensitive information such as phone numbers and email addresses, and inappropriate disclosures of private filters intended to stop long-term vandals can allow such vandals to potentially evade the filters they're targeting to them. As such, I don't see a demonstrated need for you to have the global AFH role since you probably don't have experience helping with false positives on other wikis, and the potential risks of granting the abuse filter helper role to a user with a low global edit count outweigh the benefits. Codename Noreste 🤔 talk 02:58, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose for the reasons laid out by EggRoll97 --DannyS712 (talk) 14:11, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  Hi! I wanted get these permissions because they are beneficial in fighting against vandalism. If these permissions do not work in that purpose I do not need the permissions. Thanks! Julius 12345 (talk) 17:18, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Julius 12345: You do need more detail though, because "fighting against vandalism" in itself is something that you can do with very little knowledge of abuse filters (and note that you can't edit filters anyway). Leaderboard (talk) 06:38, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose No advanced local or global rights, unclear usecase --Ameisenigel (talk) 09:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Neriah - 💬 - 12:36, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as you don't seem to have the required experience for this permission, and based on your response if you want to fight vandalism you don't need it at all. Try to use, for example, Twinkle and join SWMT instead. --Stïnger （会話） 21:37, 5 April 2024 (UTC).

I often have problems in non-GS wikis because I often exceed the standard limits through my work. This affects my work, so it would be good if I could add to the group. --𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 08:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• @WikiBayer: you have global rollback though. While global rollback does not have apihighlimits, what is that you're doing that specifically requires this? Leaderboard (talk) 08:11, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  I query a lot of data with scripts to get the information faster than with the normal interface. It would of course also be an alternative to include the apihight limits right in the GR group, as this is only a technical right and would be uncontroversial.--𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 08:19, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  I think the latter option is better, though I don't see the issue with your getting API high limit requestors, so support regardless. Leaderboard (talk) 08:58, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  Then you have to set up an RfC to add the right to the global rollback group, I think. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 09:03, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  I am not sure an RfC is required; a proposal on the talk page of GR should suffice. Leaderboard (talk) 09:39, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Leaderboard I would prefer a SRM request, like here.

  @WikiBayer are you okay with withdrawing your request here and redirecting to SRM where we can discuss adding apihighlimits to GS & GR? TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 12:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

  I am leaving the discussion open here. the insertion of the right into the GR group can basically be discussed on any page. Personally, I don't care how this is technically solved. I only care about the higher api limit to fix problems. whether this is done through a new group or not is irrelevant to me.---𝐖𝐢𝐤𝐢𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫 👤💬 17:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

There was some opposition here from users who wanted the apihighlimits right to be added to global rollbackers instead. This is still yet to happen, and would require a separate discussion if global rollbackers overall feel that they have a need for this right. So, disregarding that, there is a valid use case and an overall consensus to grant the right. Given this, and that the only opposition here is not based on the candidate, I'm closing this as Done.

Hello! I'd like to request abuse filter helper. I'm kowiki admin, and I often handle JavaScript maintenance tasks(Please see ko:사용자:기나ㅏㄴ/User_Scripts including ko:user:기나ㅏㄴ/RedWarn etc., simple:special:diff/9117268...). Recently, there has been a need for importing filters for moving page and user script usage restrictions. Also, the policies I'm pushing for have passed,(ko:백:빠삭 which is same as enwiki's en:wp:CSD, ...) so I need other Wikipedia's abuse filter references for those policies. I'm majoring in computer science, so I'm good at regular expressions.(And I'm maintaining several abuse filters) I want to import good abuse filters from other wiki. Best regards, --ginaan(T/C) 14:31, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi guys! I'm Sohom, a volunteer developer who has worked on the technical side of Wikisource for a while. The primary motivation behind this request is the fact that I'm planning to do some work on T348078 and bring some JS gadgets/userscripts in Wikisources in line with the recently introduced Stable interface policy. This work might require making some uncontroversial maintainance edits to various onwiki JS gadgets and userscripts on Wikisource and I'd like to be able to make them without having to bother interface administrators of a wiki (or in cases where the wiki is small, Global sysops). --Sohom (talk) 16:54, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

A good example of a uncontroversial change is have scripts switch from using $( '.prp-page-image img' ).attr( 'src' ) to mw.proofreadpage.openseadragon.getCurrentImage() which allows for scripts to interface with the Openseadragon UI instead of using the (mostly) deprecated .prp-page-image element. Sohom (talk) 17:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

• @Sohom Datta:, you don't seem to have interface-admin anywhere, or am I missing something? Leaderboard (talk) 18:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Leaderboard You are correct, at this time I do not have interface administrator rights on any wiki. I have however, previously had limited Global interface editor privleges to work on similar edit related to Wikisource. (The same GIE request also has a run down of my technical contributions related to Wikisource) :) Sohom (talk) 19:07, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

•  Support - didn't realise that you already had this right. Works for me, though I presume that your work will only be limited to Wikisource projects? Leaderboard (talk) 07:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  Yes, my GIE edits will only be limited to Wikisource :) Sohom (talk) 12:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

  @Xaosflux For this specific project, I would estimate the maximum time to be anywhere from 6 months to a 1 year (factoring in the fact that I might need to make patches to ProofreadPage which can/might take time to be reviewed). I can re-request rights if I need them beyond that point. Sohom (talk) 14:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

This bot is a part of the tool CampWiz which assists organizers of various edit-a-thon to host, manage campaign, evaluate submissions, publish results (As of now, about 30 campaigns are hosted and 9500+ articles were submitted through this tool). One of its sibling tool helps organizers to generate a list of articles which are not present on their wiki based on topic (As of now, 233k+articles in 150+ lists were harvested). One of our main targets was to reduce the security issue and liability along with privacy issue. As such, this tool uses a single bot account to interact with mediawiki which eliminates the need of storing the user's access token on the server. This bot mainly interacts with mediawiki API using two of the following cases:

1. FnF List Generator: When determining the missing articles, it uses the categories (in enwiki) to get through its members. It has to go through all of the category members and needs to check whether they are missing in selected language or not. There the performance of this tool heavily depend of each batch size. apihighlimits would allow the performance to improve drastically. Therefore, it needs this right on enwiki.
2. CampWiz: This tool allows the campaign to have a restriction based on the contributions of the submitter. That is, it can also determine how many bytes + words the submitter added during the campaign period. This is done via retrieving all the revisions during that period and performing calculations. If we get this right on each of the language the tool deals with, the overall speed of submission scrutiny would increase significantly. This needs the right globally.

So, after considering both of the scenerio, I think it would be appropriate to have global apihighlimits flag on this account. (For additional information, this bot has bot flag in several wiki for some write operation. But this global apihighlimits would be used for read operations only).

Hello all. Being a sysop and a CU on hewiki, I would like to expand my contribution to the global community as well. PurpleBuffalo (talk) 11:34, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose trusted, but to low crossactivity & global work, see [15] --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 11:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  PurpleBuffalo appears to be an experienced hewiki user, admin & CU. I don't see a convincing reason why we would expect much crosswiki activity / global work when applying for this role with so much local experience. Johannnes89 (talk) 11:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  per above, I am now convinced that global activity is not really relevant for GRN, so I don't see any other objections. As a result, I can only  Support this request. Sorry for my "requirements" mentioned above, which were clearly out of place here and too high. Sorry for that, --TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 18:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Support. This is not a GR that requires activity in many project.
  PurpleBuffalo is familiar with name change conventions and assists in consultation regarding suspects requesting name changes.

•  Support - works for me. Global renamer does not necessarily require cross-wiki experience; this is not global rollback. Leaderboard (talk) 12:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Support - I don't think I've ever seen "sysop (temporary), checkuser" in someone's CA before, that's an interesting permissions setup haha. But user can be trusted with these permissions, no concerns with lack of xwiki experience for this right. – Ajraddatz (talk) 13:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  @Ajraddatz: It has to do with hewiki policy - admins are elected for three year terms, which is why no user on hewiki has permanent adminship. EPIC (talk) 13:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  Even so, if the adminship expired or was not renewed by the community, shouldn't the checkuser expire too? --Ferien (talk) 18:25, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  Doesn't seem like hewiki requires CUs to be admins, so probably no (that wasn't the case here at least). EPIC (talk) 18:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  @Ferien, @EPIC is correct. There's no connection between CU permissions and Adminship there. Admins are elected for three years and have to be reelected to renew the permission, while CUs are elected with no specified term. An admin can run for CU, and a CU can run for admin. However, a CU cannot be a bureaucrat, and vice versa. PurpleBuffalo (talk) 18:46, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Cross-wiki activity is completely irrelevant to global renamer – the impact your actions have is technically global, but you don't need cross-wiki experience to move pages. This is a trusted sysop on hewiki who would like to go into renaming, I see no issue here. --Ferien (talk) 18:26, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  The only question is what actions specifically are intended to be performed for the global community mentioned in the nomination, but I hope they will be careful when (requested to be) responding to requests related to languages they do not speak/understand. ~~~~
  User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 19:03, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

  @Ferien I see that it was a bit confusing here, I just thought a global rename with global consequences needs a bit more crosswiki experience. Although I can understand what you mean, after some reconsideration I struck my vote and changed it. TenWhile6 (talk | SWMT) 19:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
