Removal of global IP block exempt for Pine

Status:    Not done

I previously requested a global IPBE here. To make a long story short, I might not need this any more. I thought that a policy says that IPBEs are intended to be temporary although I can't quickly find that particular statement now that I'm looking for it. In an attempt to make myself compliant with the policy, please remove the global IPBE for the time being. I will request that it be added back if I have trouble editing after the global IPBE is removed. Stwards Vituzzu and Trijnstel were involved in my original request so I am pinging them to notify them of this status change. Thanks, --Pine✉ 05:53, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

@Pine: you don't need to give up the flag if you still need it. No harm in indefinite access. But, if you still want it removed, let me know and I can do that. Ajraddatz (talk) 07:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Ajraddatz it's a nice convenience to have the flag so if it's ok by policy to keep it then I'm happy to keep it, but I want to make sure that I'm abiding by the policies for having the flag. If it would be more efficient for stewards to let me keep the flag than to add and remove it as needed, then I'll keep it. --Pine✉ 20:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
If it's convenient for you then by all means keep it. You aren't breaking any policies :) (marked as not done to close) Ajraddatz (talk) 00:25, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Global IP block exempt for Kayser Ahmad

Status:    Done

Hi, I am facing obstacles of bengali and english wiki and commons with the notification "আপনার আইপি ঠিকানাকে সব উইকিতে বাধাদান করা হয়েছে........" and "The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked......." but I don't use any proxy, and i am not vandal. So I really need this permission to continue my editing. thanks, --Kayser Ahmad (talk) 10:00, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

  Support a good contributor from Bengali community and I believe that he will not misuse the tool. @Kayser Ahmad: However, the permission is only bypass the global block, if the IP is blocked locally then you'll have to request the tool on that individual wiki. ~ Nahid Talk 10:19, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Requests for global rename permissions

Global rename for Boing! said Zebedee

Status:    Done

I'm an admin on en.wiki, and after a break from it I'm back to common tasks like reviewing unblock requests - and that includes "unblock for rename" requests. Currently I can only unblock, and then a separate rename request is needed - and I think the two-stage process can be confusing for new users (who are faced with what can be a daunting set of rules). Now with global accounts and global rename and Arbs (embarassing mistake) Bureaucrats not needed for rename, it has been suggested here that admins who routinely patrol unblock requests should apply for global renamer, and I think that would simplify things for new users and reduce the two-part workload. I'd use it only (see below) for unblock/rename requests made on en.wiki.

I hope you don't mind a few additional comments on the local vs global issue. As I see it, individual projects used to have their own ability to rename users (it was reserved for bureaucrats on en.wiki - I don't know about others). But since we moved to a unified login (which, I think, is a very good thing) we have naturally lost the ability to do local renames. As such, I'm simply asking to be able to use the new mechanism for doing renames for en.wiki users. I really don't see this as controversial, and I see no detriment to Wikipedia/Wikimedia if I only use the right to rename users on en.wiki. The alternative, that to be allowed to rename users one would need to be multilingual and active on multiple projects (even if many admins only speak one language and only want to work on one Wikipedia), would seem to me to be to the detriment of all the individual projects which are mostly administered by local-only admins. I am, of course, open to any questions. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:53, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Namaste everyone, I would like to apply for global renamer flag to abet the communities. I would like to help Nepali, Maithili, Hindi and Bhojpuri speaking users here and also at local request pages. I observed that there is a little global renamers from newiki, maiwiki, hiwiki, & bhwiki. I'm one of a admin on both mai & newiki but not a bureaucrat anywhere. I've already read and understood all relevant rename policies. Regards and thank you :) Tulsi Bhagat (Talk) 08:44, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
