    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.

    User:Dclemens1971

    As a new page reviewer for the past couple months, I've seen the value of keeping high-quality page creations out of the review backlog. Since 2022, I've created 154 articles (one of which was PROD'ed, uncontested, early on, but I learned from it and that's the only one ever proposed for deletion in any venue). I think my track record of page creation is strong and I'd like to receive autopatrolled rights to reduce the NPP backlog for my future article creations. I'm also autopatrolled for redirects if that's helpful context. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hey there! I'm starting to come up against instances where it would be helpful to use a semi-automated tool to conduct repetitive edits. I would find use for this for the normal maintenance tasks AWB is built for, but also back-end work such as closing bulk nominations at deletion venues. (Case in point...) I am familiar with the bot policy, the sections pertaining to semi-automated tools in particular, and will follow it in good faith to the best of my ability.

    @Cowboygilbert: I'd normally decline this nomination due a lack of deletion related experience (no AFD votes, limited CSD logs). However, given my familiarity with you and your work, I'm going to make an exception with the caveat that, at the end of your trial, if you wish to re-apply, I expect there to be more participation in some AfD discussions. I'm not saying you need to camp out there, but it's tough to assess your competency in that realm if we have nothing to look at.   Done for a 3-month trial. Thank you for volunteering.

    I was given a two-moth extension about two months ago, and I wanted to apply now for full-time approval to be a new page reviewer. I have been active in AfDs, and, as suggested in my temporary approval last time, I have reviewed many more pages than the first two months of my reviewership. All of the AfDs I have created have spawned genuine discussion, and I have also approved several new pages that pass the standards of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. I feel as though I have done enough to earn full-time approval, but I would appreciate any approval the admins are willing to give. I enjoy this work, and I enjoy helping clean up Wikipedia.

    User:PadFoot2008

    Hello, I'd like to request page mover rights as I often come across articles that do not follow the Wikipedia:Article titles policy and though usually move those articles myself, they sometimes can't be moved due to technical reasons. I have participated in numerous WP:RMs and opened many significant ones, as well as performed many moves myself over the past. Thank you. PadFoot2008 04:07, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I am slightly concerned about the number of recent reverted moves. Primefac (talk) 14:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Primefac, concerning those two reverted moves, they were indeed mistakes on my part. In hindsight, I should have done a deeper study of the main article Gahadavala dynasty. I had decided to move some Indian monarch articles to be in par with the standard convention of "(name) of (kingdom)" (such as George II of Great Britain), and when I discovered the two articles (Madanapala (Gahadavala dynasty) and Govindachandra (Gahadavala dynasty)), I proceeded to have a quick look at the main article, where I saw the phrase "Gahadavalas of Kannauj", and after performing a quick search through the usages of "Govindachandra of Kannauj" in RS, I arrived at the conclusion that it would be a good move location. After the move was reverted, I dug deeper and read the main article more carefully and found out that the Gahadavalas do not actually appear to have ruled over the city of Kannauj but rather over Varanasi. I have since been more careful in performing such moves, and five monarch related article moves performed since seem good for now. PadFoot (talk) 11:43, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I've been editing WP for 17 odd years and I'm able to identify what is and what isn't vandalism. Also familiar with Wikipedia's basic content policies and the basic legal policy on copyrights. Requesting the right as I have at least two articles on my watchlist (Australian Greens and Linux) for which there are regularly pending changes. I would use the permission to process requests in those article (plus any others that are on my watchlist that I don't see often) and occasionally peaking to see if there is a backlog.

    I've been actively editing in different topic areas (mainly politics/civics) on Wikipedia for a few years and have created some new article pages. In this time I have gained a strong understanding of Wikipedia guidelines and would like to apply that to review edits to articles to identify vandalism / inappropriate edits.

    Rollback

    User:2RDD

    I hereby tender my application for the distinguished role of Rollbacker, having accomplished a notable volume of contributions exceeding 500 edits and consistently demonstrated a steadfast commitment to maintaining the highest standards of content quality through the diligent reversion of vandalized pages. I am confident that my expertise and unwavering dedication render me an exemplary candidate for this position, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to further serve the community in this capacity. 2RDD (talk) 10:50, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    In your own words, would you please explain what vandalism is? Using that explanation, please evaluate whether the following edits are vandalism, and provide an explanation as to why or why not:

    User:Ben Azura

    I requested Rollback several months ago and my request was was turned down because I didn't have enough anti-vandalism in my recent editing history. I haven't been very consistently active for personal and family reasons so I don't remember the exact course of events after that. After I was turned down I tried filtering the recent changes feed based on suggestions I saw here. This is the latest example of why that hasn't been working for me:

    [3]

    The vandalism was done in multiple edits and part of it survived my revert [4].

    I had figured out a way to warn users after my previous request was turned down but after a few months away I don't remember how I was doing it. I wasn't able to find a way to easily warn the user whose username is not clickable the way it usually is when edits are reverted.

    I am not planning to use rollback for anything other than reverting vandalism. Is this process really necessary to get the Rollback privilege? Ben Azura (talk) 13:22, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Not done. You've only made a small handful of reverts since I declined your previous request. That's not enough activity for me to assess whether you'll be able to use this tool properly. That being said, youdon't need rollback to undo inappropriate edits. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 09:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey Fastily, it's your call man. I will use the recent changes feed as you have asked me to. What I wanted was to undo "consecutive previous edits" (from WP:ROLLBACK) like the situation I encountered that led to this request.
    I am only interested in the tool because I think it is the right tool to help with the situation I encountered while patrolling RecentChanges.
    Can you direct me to all the policies I need to familiarize myself with? What if I only get the most recent edit but miss the "consecutive previous edits"? I don't want to be blamed for that. By requesting Rollback have I fulfilled my end of responsibility in terms of what I can control? And, is warning editors a must? I don't want too many demands on my time (limited these days). But I still want to revert vandalism that I see. Let me know how you think it is best to proceed, please ping me with advice. Ben Azura (talk) 19:54, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    We already have Wikipedia:Twinkle which does exactly what you're asking for. You don't need rollback to use Twinkle. There isn't a specific policy I can point you to, and frankly, that's not the right question to ask anyways. There are no shortcuts here; if you want rollback, you need to put in the work, get experience patrolling recent changes, and prove to us that you're ready for it. -Fastily 09:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:GoldRomean

    I believe that I meet the requirements for the rollback user right; I've read WP:RBK and WP:REVERT, have enough edits, try my best to consistently warn users, and I've been reviewing recent changes fairly consistently since around May. I think I have a good grasp of Wikipedia's main policies. I'm also currently enrolled in the CVU Academy. I use Twinkle and Ultraviolet but I would love to be able have full access to Huggle and have another tool to be able to stop vandals so I am requesting rollback rights. Thanks :D. GoldRomean (talk) 19:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Done, although @GoldRomean, please ensure that you are consistently notifying editors when you revert their edits. I did see a few instances where you neglected to do so (e.g. 1, 2, 3). -Fastily 09:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, thakn you. I will try my best to always warn editors :D. GoldRomean (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template editor

    User:Taavi

    I've been fixing some dark mode as I spot them, some of those are on template-protected pages and I'd like to fix those directly instead of making edit requests. I don't think I fully meet the standard criteria, but I hope I've already demonstrated elsewhere that I won't go around breaking things that I don't fully understand. Taavi (talk!) 17:51, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Standard Guidelines review:
    1.  Y (guideline: >1 year, applicant: 5)
    2.  Y (guideline: >1000 edits, applicant: ~8k)
    3.  Y (guideline: >150 template edits, applicant: ~200)
    4.  Y (guideline: !<6 months, applicant: NA)

    6.  N (guideline: 5 requests, applicant: 3, plus 1 pending)
    Primefac (talk) 18:07, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Speaking to the request itself, fixing ... as I spot them appears to be a sum total of a single template. Is this something you actually think you will need for the short-term future or are you just guessing? Primefac (talk) 18:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Izno granted this in the meantime, but: I do expect there will be at least some more as I spot things that annoy me. {{S-note}} and Module:Adjacent stations are the ones I've spent edit requests so far, and the "Route map" headings on some railway-related infoboxes are probably up next. This would be similar to what I've already been doing on Wikitech and in smaller numbers on mw.o and fiwiki. Taavi (talk!) 18:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
