    Requests for permissions
    Shortcuts

    This page enables administrators to handle requests for permissions on the English Wikipedia. Administrators are able to modify account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, file mover, extended confirmed, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, and template editor rights, and AutoWikiBrowser access.

    Editors wishing to request a permission flag here should do so following the procedure below. Editors requesting permissions are advised to periodically revisit the requests page, as notifications will not always be given after a decision is made. Editors should not expect their request to be answered right away and should remember to be patient when filing a request. To find out what permissions your account has, go to Special:Preferences, where your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups".

    Requests for permissions are archived regularly; please see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Archive for an index of past requests.

    Permissions

    Handled here

    • Account creator (add request · view requests): The account creator flag is granted to users who are active in the request an account process. The flag removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24 hour period. It also allows users to make accounts with names similar to other accounts. The account creator flag is only given to users who participate in the ACC process and may be removed without notice should a user's participation in the account creation process cease.
    • Autopatrolled (add request · view requests): The autopatrolled flag is granted to users who are active in the creation of new articles. This tool is granted so their creations are auto patrolled in Special:NewPages. Unlike other requests, any user may nominate an editor for Autopatrolled, even without that user's consent. A user who wishes to have this flag generally should have created at least 25 articles and must be trusted, experienced, and must have demonstrated they are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially WP:BLP and Wikipedia:Notability.
    • AutoWikiBrowser (add request · view requests): AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor for Microsoft Windows, designed to make tedious repetitive tasks quicker and easier. It is essentially a browser that automatically opens up a new page when the last is saved. When set to do so, it suggests some changes (typically formatting) that are generally meant to be incidental to the main change. Please read the rules of use and registration requirements on the main page before requesting permission. This is not a true user right, but access needs to be granted by administrators just like other permissions. If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage. Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You will need to give a reason for wanting AWB access.
    • Confirmed (add request · view requests): The confirmed flag may be granted to new users who have not yet hit the threshold for autoconfirmed status. These are users who have not had both 10 edits and 4 days experience. People with this flag can upload files and edit semi-protected pages before hitting the autoconfirmed flag. Users requesting this flag must indicate clearly why they should be exempted from the customary confirmation period.
    • Event coordinator (add request · view requests): The event coordinator user right allows editors to create multiple new accounts, and to temporarily confirm accounts so that they can create new articles.
    • Extended confirmed (add request · view requests): The extended confirmed flag is normally automatically added to accounts after 500 edits and 30 days, but may be added to legitimate alternate accounts of users that already have this access. The flag allows users to edit pages under extended confirmed protection.
    • File mover (add request · view requests): The file mover user right is intended to allow users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Wikipedia articles.
    • Mass message sender (add request · view requests): Mass message sender enables users to send messages to multiple users at once. This flag is given to users who have made requests for delivery in the past, clearly showing an understanding of the guidance for use.
    • New page reviewer (add request · view requests): The new page reviewer user right allows users to mark pages as patrolled and use the page curation toolbar. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
    • Page mover (add request · view requests): The page mover user right allows users experienced in working with article names to move them, subject to policy, without leaving behind a redirect. They may also move all subpages when moving the parent page(s). General guidelines include making 3,000 edits and 6 months of editing history. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
    • Pending changes reviewer (add request · view requests): The reviewer flag is granted to users who are experienced enough with Wikipedia editing and its policies for contributing to the process of reviewing articles placed under pending changes.
    • Rollback (add request · view requests): Rollback enables users to remove vandalism much more quickly and efficiently than by undoing it. Users who do not demonstrate an understanding of what constitutes capable vandalism fighting, either because they have no or little history of doing so, or show a poor ability to discern between good and bad faith edits will not be granted this right. Also, it is unlikely that editors with under 200 mainspace edits will have their request granted. For a more detailed explanation of rollback and information about when it is appropriate to use the tool, see Wikipedia:Rollback. For information about the technical details of the feature, see here.
    • Template editor (add request · view requests): The template editor flag allows users to edit protected templates and Lua modules. General guidelines for granting include making at least 1,000 edits overall (with at least 150 to templates or modules), being a registered user for over a year, and having a record of successfully proposing significant edits to several protected templates. Users should demonstrate proficiency with template syntax and an understanding of the need for caution when editing heavily-used templates.

    Handled elsewhere

    Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:

    Removal of permissions

    If you wish to have any of your permission flags (except administrator) removed, you should contact an administrator. If you want your administrator flag removed, you should contact a bureaucrat.

    This is not the place to request review of another user's rights. If you believe someone's actions merit removal of a permission flag, you should raise your concern at the incidents noticeboard.

    The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight flags are removed at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they are made on behalf of the Arbitration Committee, by a user who is requesting their own access be removed, or in cases of an emergency.

    Process

    Requestors

    To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting permission.

    Any editor may comment on requests for permission.

    Administrators

    Full instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Administrator instructions

    Administrators are permitted to grant account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, event coordinator, file mover, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback and template editor flags to any user who meets the criteria explained above and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). Administrators may either grant these permissions permanently or temporarily. For convenience, a bot will automatically comment with relevant data if the user does not meet configurable qualifications. Even if the bot does not comment, administrators should review the user's contributions and logs to ensure the tools will be used appropriately and check for any indication of potential misuse.

    Once an administrator has granted a permission or decided to deny a request, they should add {{done}} or {{not done}} respectively under the request with their comments. If a user already has the requested permission, or is autoconfirmed and requesting confirmed, {{already done}} should be used. N hours after the last comment was made (as specified by the config), the request will be archived automatically: approved requests will be placed here; declined requests will go here. See User:MusikBot/PermClerk#Archiving for more information on archiving functionality.

    Other editors

    Requests for permissions is primarily intended for editors requesting a permission for their own account. Other editors are welcome to comment if they have specific information that is relevant to that request that a patrolling administrator is unlikely to discover for themselves. Otherwise, since only administrators can effectively respond to these requests, general comments or 'clerking' by other users are rarely helpful. Non-administrators cannot "decline" to grant a request, because they're not in a position to accept it.

    A limited exception to this is Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled, where third party nominations are encouraged. Other editors should still avoid offering general remarks on requests and leave the final decision to an administrator.

    Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Hounaam

    Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration.

I am currently a New Page Patroller and actively participate in Articles for Creation (AfC) and Articles for Deletion (AfD). I also enjoy turning the red links of notable recent deaths into blue, and I believe this right will help to reduce the workload at New Page Patrol (NPP). Thank you.

    Hi, I have created 25 articles by 2021, none of which has been deleted. Recently, I created another 3 articles, and in total I have made 3200 edits (none of which has been deleted). These articles and edits are primarily about modern Chinese history, which I am familiar with. And I just realized I may have been qualified for the "auto-patrol" right for a long time, but never asked for it. Therefore, I'd like to ask to become an auto-patroller which hopefully will also save some work for the new page patrollers in the future. Thank you very much.

I possess a strong understanding of content policies and guidelines, supported by my experience in quality control processes. I have actively participated in deletion processes like AfD, PROD, and CSD, contributed to Articles for Creation, and written new articles. I maintain a solid track record of interacting civilly and constructively with other editors, especially newcomers. I have no active behavioral blocks or 3RR violations within the last 6 months, and I am committed to reviewing pages solely on a volunteer basis. Imad_J (talk) 13:26, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    عماد الدين المقدسي, could you comment on your creation of Tyrone Smith (musician) in 2020? While old substandard articles are not automatically disqualifying for this permission, between the lack of extensive article creations since then (or even just edits on en.wiki in general since then), and the fact that the article has been repeatedly recreated and deleted via WP:A7, it does raise some concern. signed, Rosguill talk 18:56, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Nuvolet

    I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

    A reasonable number of moves, but I not seeing any WP:RM/TR requests and am concerned by this RM which – based on the previous RM – seemed doomed to fail in the first place. This discussion also looks to be going against you. Primefac (talk) 18:05, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I was a beginner at the time and I did not think that I would have to read the diffs for an edit that causes the word "its" to change to "it's."

    For what it’s worth the rapid fire use of find and replace gave me some concerns.

    Hey! This is Cooldudeseven7 again, and i'm just asking if there is any progress on this Rollback case? Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!) Celebrating 1000 Edits!   11:15, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've randomly sampled your recent edits and I'm seeing an unacceptably high number of serious mistakes. In addition to the error above, I found:
    1. Here, you offered poor advice and almost inappropriately moved the page to userspace. Pages like this are not acceptable on Wikipedia, even in the userspace.
    2. Editors may remove warnings from their talk pages at any time, meaning this revert followed by these warnings (1, 2) and subsequent AIV report are extremely inappropriate
    3. I'm not sure why you felt the need to insert a {{Static IP}} template here. Not a helpful edit. Also worth noting that this doesn't belong in a section header, which breaks the page formatting.
    I think you need to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works (i.e. quit RC Patrol for now and go make article contributions instead) before applying for advanced permissions. To be clear, RC patrol isn't a race to see who can revert the most edits, so please don't treat it as such. Closing as   Not done. -Fastily 23:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, but am I not allowed to ever submit again because of these or are you just saying wait a bit? Cooldudeseven7 tea talk 00:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (Trying this again because one of my scripts broke the template)

    I have been reverting vandalism and patrolling recent changes for over a month now. The last time my request was declined, I simply hadn't been patrolling for a month at that point, and @Fastily had no other objections. I have consistently warned all vandals I reverted and reported many to AIV. I believe I'm ready to have rollback now. Also note that I am a pending changes reviewer.

    Reason for requesting rollback rights Hello, I meet all the requirements and noticed that some articles I have worked on/have an interest in, for example the Husain Al-Musallam page, that are well referenced are being subjected to whitewash editing by multiple accounts, many that have been blocked. Would be helpful to have the rollback tool to efficiently address issues like this. Daftard (talk) 04:11, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Not done you shouldn't be using rollback for content disputes, and if an article has been edited by multiple users in a disruptive manner, rollback won't help revert those edits any faster. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:59, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I have been engaging in recent changes patrolling for some time now, so I'd like to request rollback permission primarily to be able to use tools, so that I can patrol more quickly and efficiently. Thanks. From AS-RNY (talk) 14:57, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    No I'm 500+ edits From AS-RNY (talk) 15:08, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @From AS-RNY 415 of your 500+ edits are actually from the user namespace. You have 110 edits in the mainspace which is actual articles. TheWikiToby (talk) 16:48, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 110 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. Of your ~500 edits, 415 are to the user space as User:TheWikiToby noted above, and of those user namespace edits, 399 were to User:From AS-RNY/sandbox. Most of these sandbox edits consist of adding the word hello at a rate of several edits per minute until obtaining WP:XC status, which appears to be a WP:PGAME issue. @From AS-RNY: I think it's best to remove the extended confirmed permission until you have enough experience editing outside of your sandbox before editing in potentially contentious areas that are XC protected.

    Noting here that I've removed XC from User:From AS-RNY per my comment on their talk page. - Aoidh (talk) 17:22, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Iwaqarhashmi

    Hello, I'm working to make templates dark mode friendly, but since many templates are protected, I'm requesting template editor to efficiently implement dark mode compatibility. I've successfully made more than five template-protected edit requests so far (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and I'd love to be able to make such edits myself without the need to provide an edit request in the future. I'm a trusted user, and I'd be more than happy to assist at CAT:ETP too. Thank you, Waqar💬 06:56, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Done for six months for the purposes of dark mode adjustments. Primefac (talk) 11:54, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you suggesting that Iwaqarhashmi should only use this for right for dark mode related edits? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:47, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, but that is their primary purpose as requested. As I explained on their talk page, it's a temporary grant because that is their focus and interest, but if they do find themselves editing in the template-protected spaces more often they are welcome to request an indefinite extension. My apologies to all for not being clearer in my initial statement. Primefac (talk) 10:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, I'd say I was a bit confused when I first saw that I was granted these rights on a temporary basis even though I fulfilled all the standard guidelines. Honestly, improving protected templates for dark mode adjusments wasn't the only reason why I requested template editor. As I explained on my talk page earlier, I was infact, hoping to use it for other long-term purposes as well, but no one asked me about that in the first place. Would it be possible to request an indefinite extension now since I'd be needing this for the long haul? Thank you! Waqar💬 14:49, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Iwaqarhashmi a couple weeks before you expire just drop a new request here - we generally upgrade requesters to indefinite if they have (a) used the access (b) not broken things. — xaosflux Talk 15:06, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
