    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:HumansRightsIsCool

    So last night I made over 50-70 edits on the page Jim Cornette in order to hit 500 edits so I can edit more articles about politics because I was limited on what I could edit. Last night I didn't know I was breaking the rules, I found out when an administrator went on my talk page and said I lost extended confirmed status. He also told me I can't be trusted with extended confirmed status because those 50-70 edits weren't genuine. I think I can be trusted, I went over 2 months with making over 400 edits, and throughout those 2 months I haven't been blocked once and most my edits were productive, there were hardly any mistakes so I got hardly any warnings throughout the months. And when I hit 500 edits I edited the page about Hamas, my edits were constructive and I added valuable information and images to the page. I'm here to make pages better, if I get extended confirmed status again there won't be original research, edit warring, or vandalism, I've made hundreds of edits without doing that. So can I be trusted and get my extended confirmed thing back? autowikibrowser rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 00:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @HumansRightsIsCool:  Not done This isn't the page to ask for extended confirmed, but also, no, gaming extended confirmed isn't allowed. Make a few hundred more constructive edits, and you can probably get it granted. Elli (talk | contribs) 00:47, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I didn't know gaming extended confirmed isnt allowed. I had no idea, if I did I wouldn't have did it, I didnt know doing that was a problem, and why do I have to make a few hundread more constructive edits, Ive already made 420-430 of them in the past 2 months. And also it'll probably take a long time to get a few hundred more edits, I'm busy most of the day, I have a job and 3 kids to take care of.

     Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 01:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've already declined their request for this that they improperly placed at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/AutoWikiBrowser (pl). Don't want to decline again myself but would suggest another admin do so. This discussion also relevant: User talk:ScottishFinnishRadish#ARBPIA gaming (pl). Elli (talk | contribs) 02:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done The fact that it takes time to get to that many edits is intentional. It is generally expected that editors will take the time to familiarize themselves with Wikipedia's processes, policies and guidelines, dispute resolution, edit warring, civility, and so on in that time period, so that when they do become extended confirmed and begin editing potentially contentious areas they are not coming to the discussions in inadvertently disruptive ways because of unfamiliarity with how disputes are handled and discussions take place on Wikipedia. Per this discussion, I would suggest slowing down and taking time to show that you can edit constructively in an extremely contentious topic area before making a new request. - Aoidh (talk) 19:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. Thank you for volunteering, but in reviewing your editing history I wasn't able to find sufficient experience with the deletion process and notability guidelines to feel comfortable granting you the permission at this point in time. I encourage you to spend some time at WP:AFD and make policy based votes to show that you're comfortable evaluating notability.

    Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:ThatOneWolf

    Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.

    Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right.

    I've been doing RCP for a little while now, and recently started NPP. I believe I could assist in patrolling recent changes to expand on my anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Recently got the Rollbacker user rights, I think this is also useful as I sometimes find good edit on many pending change protected pages while patroling recent changes. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 13:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity (talk) (contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 08:57, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I actively warn users who vandalize/disrupt the pages using Twinkle as well as report them to ARV either after final warning or when an account is clearly for vandalism only, but sometimes I assume good faith just leave a note on their talk page.

    Ah yes you are correct, my apologies I'm not sure how I missed that.  Done -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Very active in counter vandalism (very likely have over 1000 reverts at this point), have rollback on simple, do X wiki counter-vandalism as well. Think rollback would be helpful. Read and understood WP:Rollback and meet the guidelines above. Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 17:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done Given that your block for disruptive editing & edit warring expired just a month ago. I'd like to see you establish a track record of constructive contributions for at least several months before assigning you advanced permissions. -Fastily 00:38, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Lordseriouspig

    I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lordseriouspig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Ednabrenze

    Have been participating in counter vandalism for a while now and have developed strong interest in continuing in this area of editing. I request this right to enhance my counter vandalism capacity. Ednabrenze (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:6ii9

    I have been contributing to Wikipedia for 14 years where I have made numerous edits to templates. When I've wanted to contribute to templates that were protected I have made edit requests which have been successful. I would love to be able to make these edits without the need to provide an edit request. I understand this would be a privilege which I would not abuse. As an editor I have never engaged in edit wars, vandalised any pages or been blocked (except for when I was contributing from a proxy IP which was not due to any actions by me). I believe I fulfil all bar one of the Standard Guidelines for a template editor, the only exception being number 5 as I have not contributed to a template sandbox. I am hoping that this does not affect my request and that my history on here and my willingness to help make my application successful.

    A current project I am working on: Several flag templates have been recently moved in line with the proper naming convention of templates, however these have not all been updated within other templates creating a template redirect; I would like to contribute by updating templates used on templates to avoid that redirect. Thank you. 6ii9 (talk) 10:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @6ii9 I'm inclined to grant based on your long tenure. Couple quick questions: do you understand your technical limits and won't make changes you don't fully understand on high-use pages? (e.g. changing LUA modules you haven't thoroughly tested). When would be times that you would need to use the sandboxes in the future (or why won't there be a time)? — xaosflux Talk 14:34, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Secondary question - do you think you'll need this permission after you're done with the flag system update? Primefac (talk) 14:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Primefac: Thank you for your response. I do understand my technical limits and only make changes to templates when I am sure my edit(s) will not break anything. I am familiar with using sandboxes for templates, I usually use my user sandboxes for template designs and tests to ensure what I am doing will work once implemented into real templates. Should I have a very technical edit, I will use a sandbox first before editing a template. Finally, I usually seek out these sort of scenarios, so for now it is the flag system stuff, previously it was updating country data templates to ensure they were up to date and I may find another interest afterwards. I therefore believe I will need this permission beyond the flag updates, but will understand if the permission is revoked should I not make a meaningful template edit for a long period of time. 6ii9 (talk) 15:04, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-admin comment) 6ii9 previously had a 3 month trial of this perm. Here are the template-protected templates (or modules) he edited during that time:
    1. Template:Country data Cornwall
    2. Template:Country data Saint Helena ( × 5)
    3. Template:Film year category ( × 2)
    4. Template:Infobox football tournament season ( × 2)
    5. Template:Military history year category
    6. Template:Military organization disestablishment category
    7. Template:WikiProject Polynesia
