Requests for permissions

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, 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:

• Administrator and bureaucrat access: Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, respectively.
• Bots: Request for bot flags should be made at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.
• Edit filter: Requests for access to the edit filter manager group and the edit filter helper group should be made at Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard.
• Interface administrator: Requests for interface administrator access should be made at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. Only current administrators may become interface administrators.
• IP-block-exempt: While the IP-block-exempt right can be granted by administrators, this flag is not handled here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be submitted via the Unblock Ticket Request System or, if there are significant privacy concerns, email the checkuser team at checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org or contact a CheckUser directly.
• CheckUser and Oversight: These rights are only granted by the Arbitration Committee, and only after strict scrutiny. More information can be found here.
• AfC reviewer: This access is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants.
• Redirect autopatrol list: Addition to the list is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list.
• Steward permissions can only be granted in yearly elections, and are rarely given.
• Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global permissions.

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.

I have been active on Wikipedia for about a year, working on the history of Christianity in China. I have created 25 valid articles up to this day (see User:TheLonelyPather/Creation log), and I have made 7 GAs in the process. Many of these articles are biographies, and they are all very "clean" in my humble opinion.

There are a lot of churches in China, and a lot of figures in the history of Christianity too. I see myself contributing to Wikipedia consistently in the future, and I hope to obtain Autopatrolled rights. Thank you very much. Cheers, --The Lonely Pather (talk) 11:36, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Link to previous denied request: Special:Permalink/1157787269#User:BhamBoi, and a ping to @Schwede66. Please use sigma to view my created articles, as xtools does not filter out redirects.

I've created 62 articles, and I'd like to receive the autopatrolled right because I've addressed all the concerns from my previous request—namely, my last 3 articles (Shang-Ping Xie, Highly Cited Researchers program, and Jeffrey B. Remmel) received no human edits after publication and patrol, showing my competency in writing articles that don't need another set of eyes on them before patrol.

Thanks! BhamBoi (talk) 17:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Just an update for transparency—there had not been any human edits to Remmel when I posted my request, but now a cosmetic edit to a template has been made—though it should not affect my request. BhamBoi (talk) 19:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Since this request, I created George L. King, which was patrolled with no issues. BhamBoi (talk) 00:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to use AWB to help search for and remedy unreliable sourcing in articles; particularly in cases where there is potential for the source to be misused across a wide spread of related articles (including, but not limited to, those listed in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources).

Hello! Back in December of 2023 I applied for New Page Reviewer Rights and given a 1 month trial period. I am here today to reply apply for permanent rights. As a review I've been on Wikipedia for over eight years and have created 47 active article on EN Wikipedia. I would like to to continue to help decease the large article backlog currently on Wikipedia. I would be happy to answer any questions. Thank you for your time!

Article creation and sourcing are my favourite parts of editing Wikipedia, and I am keen to help reduce the NPP backlog. After encountering issues with notability criteria when I first joined Wikipedia, I have since created multiple articles that I believe demonstrate a good understanding of the policies, and improved many pre-existing articles with better sourcing (for example, NTH Ring and The BAP Handbook). I am also active on AfD, and have contributed to that space for a large chunk of my editing career. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback for me, and thank you for your consideration. pinktoebeans ^(talk) 21:22, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

G'day, I applied for applied for New Page Reviewer Rights back on the 18th of December because of the NPP backlog drive and was given a 1 month trial. I'd like to apply for permanent rights. I've not been able to do a massive amount but I've been able to contribute a bit and I can continue contribute that amount on an ongoing basis if that is acceptable (I have a young family so my time commitments to anything are variable).

Coming up on my first year on Wikipedia, after learning about vandalism, I've recently been quite active at AfD discussions. I'm frankly a little bit disappointed with the amount of questionable / lack of references here (many editors aren't super aware of the obscure paid markings) so a chunk of my editing career so far has been dedicated to that.

I regularly draftify pages for NPP; moving without leaving a redirect would be nice (and less work for admins). In the future, I'd like to help closing RMs (which I've done a bit already), and closing renaming CfDs (I already have some experience at CfD, closing discussions as "merge" when I can).

Hello. I like to do page moves and have done a fair bit previously. However, I believe the page move permission will help expand my page move capacity. I have previously requested this permission, but at the time had under 3,000 edits. So to close off I mainly do RMs and this permission would help heaps.

(Non-admin comment) I count 12 moves and 7 RM closures (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). For anyone who wants more experience, pagemovers at WP:RM/TR are quite willing and happy (at least speaking for myself) to help perform requested moves when a newer closer is not able to implement it on their own (normally because the new title is a redirect that has been edited after creation). @Kiwiz1338: In the RMs that you have closed as moved, have you so far been checking for any WP:POSTMOVE cleanup per WP:RMCI? SilverLocust 💬 04:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Yes I do check for stuff to cleanup. Kiwiz1338 (talk) 06:57, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

The cleanup for the three that you moved would be: For #1, updating the title in the first line and infobox, updating the navbar; for #2, updating the navbar (not yet done); for #3, updating the infobox (not yet done). SilverLocust 💬 08:00, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Have fixed them now. Sorry, but I didn't notice at the time. Of course I will now be on to it. Thanks. Kiwiz1338 (talk) 08:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I appreciate that you have started to close requested moves and I do not see any significant problems with what you've done so far, but I would still like to see a greater volume of work on moves before adding this permission. I suggest continuing on the present path for a while before re-requesting the permission here, but I will leave it up to another reviewer in case someone would like to go ahead with this now.

I have been editing Wikipedia pages for 5 years. I have encountered disruptive changes to pages by guest editors, including changes to BLP pages. I would like to do more work to review such changes and help maintain Wikipedia articles. Queenofboston (talk) 20:34, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

(2nd request) – Good evening, so it has been over three months since my last unsuccessful request, and after the moderate backlog recently, I wanted to expand my capabilities by reviewing pending changes. I have over 5K edits and 4 articles, and already an AfC reviewer and rollbacker. I've read the reviewing instructions multiple times and met the requirements. Thank you!

I was motivated to apply for this after I found a copyright violation that has been in an article since 2009. I understand how significantly disruptive violations of copyvio and blp are to the project, so I am motivated to request this permission to review edits as they come in. My contribution history will show that I am a responsible editor who can be trusted to review edits. Ben Azura (talk) 01:35, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I know the rollback rules. I'm taking a look at the recent changes and trying to undo the vandal changes. This right makes my job much easier. Thanks. LionelCristiano (talk) 16:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or RedWarn that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 21:10, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I will use it from now on and warn the editors. I would love to have a rollback button. LionelCristiano (talk) 22:07, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

I've been reverting vandalism since early 2023, mainly using the tool Ultraviolet. I'm also versed with Twinkle. Before I revert an edit, I always ensure that it should be reverted. Once done so, I try to always leave a warning on talk pages. Would be grateful to use more advanced tools in counter-vandalism. Thanks for the consideration! TLA (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

 Not done You've been away months, resumed activity 2 days ago, and the last time you reverted vandalism was almost a year ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month consistently patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & RedWarn can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are always warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 07:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am back at this page after a fun time at AIV, I was granted rollback before, but had it taken away shortly thereafter, I am re-requesting rollback with knowledge of past mistakes, and a flowchart for anti-vandalisim (very helpful). Having reviewed the edits flagged as problematic, I thought carefully about my mistakes, and will not repeat them. All of my previous reasons still apply, 2 months of recent changes patrol, the edit count. I have learned from my missteps, and will not repeat them.  Thanks Geardona (talk to me?) 15:19, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I was granted the template editor permissions in October of last year and they were very helpful -- I made successful edits to some template-protected modules and templates such as to Module:flagg, {{World Athletics}}, Module:Country alias, Module:Annotated link, and a proposed change at Module:Wd, using sandboxes and testcases to test first. I also fulfilled a request to Template:Infobox Wikipedia user. I would like to continue making contributions like this to modules and templates. But it seems like my three-month trial has expired, so I am requesting an extension. Habst (talk) 14:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
