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.

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

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.

Requests for global sysop permissions

Shortcut:
SRGS
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 sysops policy.
Stewards
When you give someone global sysop rights, please list them on Users with global sysop access and ask them to subscribe to the global sysops 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;
To make a request

 |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). 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.

Requests for global rename permissions

Shortcut:
SRGREN

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 -->
 |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: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.

Abusefilter helper for Julius 12345

Status:    In progress

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)[reply]

  • Question Question: why do you want to access private abuse filters, what do you need it for? --Johannnes89 (talk) 16:59, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
    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)[reply]
  • Oppose Oppose Low edit count; per Eggroll97. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs) 23:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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.
