    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:

    Review and removal of permissions

    The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:

    The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight permissions 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.

    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:Royalesignature

    I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60 articles and improved 100 others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights

    Hi, I am requesting for this rights, because I have about 5 new articles that are yet to be reviewed and surely meets the notability criteria, I have been creating and improving articles especially on African Cinema and with this right, I hope to reduce the backlog on the new page reviewers log.

    User:CommunityNotesContributor

    To support WP:JAN25 I'd ideally like to be contributing to reducing the backlog as opposed to contributing to increasing the backlog at the same time. Overall in the last 25 BLP articles I've created, there have been few to no edits made by NPR, aside from typos, grammar, and duplicate words. The first handful lacked certain templates, categories, default sorting, talk page banners, and the usual technical parts of articles, but I've since got to grips with including these. Since then I've only moved my drafts to mainspace, or created in mainspace, when I'm confident that there is enough SIGCOV and structure, and otherwise "incubate" articles not quite ready in draft space if not. I otherwise create quite a few redirects, with one disambiguated, and one batch up for discussion, but otherwise none deleted so far. Thanks for considering.

    User:Boutboul

    Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality. I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

    Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. My recent edits also contributed significantly to upgrading the article History of the Jews in Tunisia from "Start-Class" to "B-Class." Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Automated comment This user has had 1 request for extended confirmed declined in the past 90 days ([2]) and has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([3]). — MusikBot talk 12:30, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @ToBeFree,
    I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
    Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
    Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    From their last post to their talk, @Boutboul seems interested in CT areas. I have concerns about the EC request given other issues raised on their Talk. Courtesy ping @ScottishFinnishRadish who removed initially. Star Mississippi 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They're also continuing to translate from French Wikipedia without proper attribution, e.g. here. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I properly attributed the translation by adding the template to the main page. However, a bot moved it to the talk page. I even explained this in a discussion topic on the talk page. Translation is not prohibited; in fact, it is encouraged by Wikipedia. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:27, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    (b) Place the {{Translated page}} template on the target article's talk page, for example: emphasis mine. Nor did you attribute it in the edit summary as required: Add a statement to the edit summary of the target article of your translation providing translation attribution to the authors of the source article, including an interlanguage link to the source (translated-from) article. Example: This continued misunderstanding plus the LLM usage does not inspire confidence that they're ready to have E/C restored. They're welcome to edit in other areas but I explicitly do not think they're ready for CTs. Star Mississippi 20:46, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Firstly, I am not sure why you are using the plural for me. I am the only one making all the edits, and my pronoun is 'he'.
    Secondly, I have attributed the text to a French translation in several edit summaries, for example, here and here. I may have forgotten some instances. However, if I am not mistaken, there is no rule stating that an editor must make no mistakes when editing to regain Extended Confirmed Rights. Furthermore, the quality of the translation is sufficient, as other editors appreciated it and upgraded the article from Start-Class to B-Class.
    In addition, using an LLM for translation, syntax correction, or any other purpose is not forbidden.
    It therefore seems that the decision not to reassign the Extended Confirmed rights is arbitrary. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:24, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Using third-person gender-neutral pronouns is pretty common and normal online. I have a question for you Michael out of interest. If you acquire the EC privilege, will you use it to advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict, thus violating WP:NOTADVOCATE and the part of the Wikimedia Universal Code of Conduct that prohibits "Systematically manipulating content to favour specific interpretations of facts or points of view"? The reason I ask is that using extended confirmed privileges that way is puzzlingly common in the WP:PIA topic area, and I wondered whether you have considered these constraints. Sean.hoyland (talk) 10:36, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Sean.hoyland, Thank you for your constructive message. I believe that we all interact, on all sorts of topics, with our biases; we all have biases. I also believe that the beauty of Wikipedia lies in collectively building reliable content, based on discussions grounded in valid sources, despite everyone's individual biases. This is the mindset in which I wish to use my Extended Confirmed Rights. Michael Boutboul (talk) 11:38, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there something preventing you from simply stating that you will not (consciously anyway) advocate on behalf of any of the parties to the Arab-Israeli conflict? Is it an unrealistic expectation given the nature of the topic area? That is what I would have done by the way, provided assurance that I'm not a potential disruption vector in a contentious topic area. And then try to make a case for restoration of EC rights on that basis. Of course, if you did that, you would probably the first editor in Wikipedia's history to do so. Feel free to ignore my questions by the way. I'm just interested in things that might help to depolarize the topic area, like explicit commitments to not advocate on behalf of parties to the conflict (although I'm aware that the adversarial nature of the topic area might, under certain circumstances, help to increase the quality of content). Sean.hoyland (talk) 11:26, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Like any contributor on Wikipedia, I respect the platform's core principles, rules, and best practices to the best of my knowledge. Specifically, I strive to avoid advocating for any side and ensure that both my contributions and those of others align with the principle of neutrality of point of view (NPOV).
    Since you raise the topic, I believe the best way to depolarize a contentious area is to acknowledge that every party involved inherently has its own biases.
    Anyway, your concern is far from that of ScottishFinnishRadish. Michael Boutboul (talk) 18:30, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Star Mississippi, have you reviewed my edits? Could you please clearly explain your concerns? No one has provided a clear explanation for refusing to reassess my extended confirmed rights. Additionally, @ScottishFinnishRadish made an incorrect statement regarding proper attribution for translations. Michael Boutboul (talk) 20:40, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I have refrained from requesting new page patroller rights, but now I believe it is time for me to request the rights.

    I'm sorry but looking at your talk page there have been a fair few complaints about your CSD nominations and draftifications, including as recently as this month. Taken at face value, a statement like sometimes I am a bit bitey towards newcomers is also basically self-disqualifying (see WP:NPRCRITERIA#3), though I'm sure this was just a poor choice of words.   Not done at this time.

    I was guided here by the notification about the January NPP contest, but honestly this looks right up my alley anyway. I've been an editor for quite a few years, largely doing gnome work and maintaining DAB pages, but in the past few years I've done a lot of Recent Changes patrolling, specifically filtering for newcomer edits, so this seems like a natural progression from there. I'd like to think that in my patrolling I'm very welcoming with the newbies, always keeping users that I've welcomed or warned on my watchlist for awhile to see if they ask for help. I know how to use tact when breaking bad news and am quite familiar with having that conversation with COI users who think they're making their own social media or corporate promotions page. If granted, I expect I'd get started even before January and probably continue long after. Thanks for reading! -- Fyrael (talk) 04:25, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Done for the usual two-month trial. Ordinarily we would look for more prior experience in new article work (deletion/AfC/article creation), but RC patrolling also works. Please be sure to familiarise yourself with the guidelines at WP:NPP before getting started and, if you want to continue after February, just make another request for a permanent grant here. – Joe (talk) 10:57, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Beachweak

    Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits). Having this right would mean I can instantly decline bad faith pending edits as soon as I see them. I have read and understood the relevant policies and guidelines relating to pending changes, vandalism and copyright. Beachweak (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Freedoxm

    Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Even if you're not pending changes reviewer, you can reject pending changes by reverting them. Pending changes reviewer, on the other hand, gives you the ability to accept changes. Rusty 🐈 14:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I already know that, and the reason why im really requesting this is to accept pending changes and to reject them at the same time. (forgot to put the acceptance part) 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 03:28, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Lewisguile

    I am an active editor with page creation review rights and over 5,000 edits to date. I try to keep my edits neutral and have a history of working with others on some contentious topics. If I make a mistake, I try to fix it and apologise as soon as possible. I have a good grasp of WP policy and MOS, and understand the difference between vandalism, tendentious editing and unconstructive editing. I've also got a very good grasp of copyright law (UK and US) and plagiarism due to my academic and professional background. Lewisguile (talk) 09:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting Pending Changes reviewer permission - I am active editor for quite some time now and recently saw an alert for January New Page patrol backlog drive. I want to contribute to that, but thought I can start with Pending change reviewer first. I have a good understanding of wiki policies, and am continuing to familiarize myself with them. I have also read Wikipedia:Reviewing_pending_changes#Criteria_to_receive_this_permission and understand expectations for both gaining the rights and performing the pending changes.

    Rollback

    Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

    User:NXcrypto

    I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I feel that they can understand the difference between bad faith and good faith edits and also those that are damaging and not damaging, however I'm a little concerned about their choices of how to warn a user in some cases. I'd suggest a trial for a month and I'll work with them on when to use warnings and which warnings to use when (bit of a tongue twister), and the use of semi automated tools for anti-vandalism. Assuming they make good progress on that front I'd be happy endorsing a permanent grant of rollback. Zippybonzo | talk | contribs (they/them) 17:39, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Randomdude121

    Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s).

    Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi Randomdude121, I'll grant this without expiry, but with an expectation of you please, please going slowly with Huggle for the first weeks and asking rather than guessing when something is unclear. My talk page will always be open to questions even if you think they may seem silly. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Fishy-Finns

    Hi, I would like rollback so I can more efficiently fight obvious vandalism and I will use it responsibly and will always assume good faith. I have over 200 edits, but a few days under a month of reverting experience on recent changes, but please let that slide because it includes around 50 good quality reverts with pretty consistent and accurate warnings on talk pages. I only revert very obvious vandalism currently, and that's what I will do if granted with rollback, so I doubt I would suddenly decide to abuse my power if granted. Thanks for the consideration Fishy-Finns (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

      Not done I probably would let a few days under a month slide if you were actively recent changes patrolling for all of that month minus few days, but all I see is a short stint of RC patrol in early December and another short stint a few days ago, which isn't really enough experience for this. Feel free to reapply with more activity. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:53, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I requested template editor a few months ago for working on dark mode issues and got it for the rest of the year. However, it (turns out) (there are a lot of) dark mode related errors, a lot of which are in template protected templates or editnotices.
