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, 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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 ( · 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

    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.

    Autopatrolled

    Hello, I have created 75+ articles, since I got autopatrolled mostly focusing on television series. For transparency, I'm still working on the feedback received from @Schwede66 in my last request. And I intent to keep doing the good work. Thanks for your consideration.

    Could you please point to where the date of birth of Gautam Vig is referenced, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:14, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Schwede66, I hope you enjoyed your vacation. I have sourced the DOB in the early life section as per WP:INFOBOXREF. I followed the editing style of Geniac, the way he improved Sheezan Khan and tried adapting the same. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:48, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, I had a fab wee holiday. I don't understand your answer. I see that there is one ref in the infobox, and that reference does confirm the date of birth, but it is attached to the spouse only. Could you please explain what you mean, and how the referencing confirms the date of birth, C1K98V? Schwede66 08:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Schwede66 In the above mentioned article I have sourced the date of birth in the Early life section, see here. And the spouse's source is just about their marriage. I'm following the editing style of Geniac, the improvement he did in one of my previously created article see here. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, which reference states the date of Vig's date of birth? I cannot see it. Schwede66 18:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Schwede66, I have used two sources for DOB, Colors TV and India Today. You can find both the sources in the Early life section. Hope it helps, if you still can't verify the birth date, you're most welcome to remove it. Thanks C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 18:50, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @C1K98V Is it just me or the webpage you're linking to from colorstv.com is redirecting to a /mena/ directory making it impossible to see what you're talking about or citing. As for the indiatoday.in, you did not initially position the citation as of when Schwede66 started reviewing your request, you only repositioned the citation today. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Vanderwaalforces, I'm not sure if the Colorstv website works outside of India. Let's wait for Schwede66 to confirm if they're able to verify it. I'm sharing a screenshot of the website for reference [1]. While searching for sources related to their academics, I found IndiaToday and added it later in the Early life section. I repositioned the named citation as I wanted to highlight it for Schwede66, so I left an edit summary too. Thanks for your consideration. C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 03:43, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    (Non-administrator comment) I can access the colorstv source and confirm that it mentions Gautam Vig's date of birth. – DreamRimmer (talk) 12:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    It is my 8th year of editing (4th with this account). I have written a number of articles of various types and none have been permanently deleted. I have made mistakes, but understand what they were and how to avoid them. About to publish many geography stubs (manually written, differing in content, not violating MASSCREATE - see Ledenice and Zapeć for examples). Articles like Cirsium greimleri, First Vrbnik Breviary, Petər Klepəc and Veternica are more representative of my work, though. Ivan (talk) 17:48, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Confirmed

    I am requesting confirmed (autoconfirmed) rights for my account, SmartChimpanzee. I have already contributed two entries to the talk page for the article "2025 Potomac River mid-air collision" regarding a proposed update to the helicopter model information. However, since I do not yet have confirmed rights, I am unable to edit the main article directly.

    My contributions on the talk page have focused on adding information supported by reliable sources—specifically, evidence that the helicopter involved in the collision is a UH‑60M (the “gold top”) rather than the currently listed UH‑60L. Being able to edit the article directly would allow me to incorporate this important information and improve the overall accuracy of the entry.

    I have followed Wikipedia’s guidelines and have provided verifiable sources in my talk page entries. Granting confirmed rights would enable me to continue contributing effectively to the article and other related topics.

    Thank you for considering my request. SmartChimpanzee (talk) 22:51, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]


    Event coordinator


    Extended confirmed

    Arcticocean requested that, "If [I] wish to gain [ECR] again, the onus would be on [me] to prove that trust has been regained." To address this challenge, I would like to respond to the two concerns raised:

    1. "You have added translated content from other Wikipedias without attribution."
    2. "You have artificially split your article contributions into separate edits to more quickly reach a high edit count."


    1. Translated content without attribution

    In October 2024, I misunderstood the rules regarding proper attribution for translated content. Since January 2025, I believe I have consistently included proper attribution in all my edit summaries, as demonstrated in these examples: here, here or here.


    2. Split article contributions

    Regarding this concern, I would like to clarify that my first 350 edits, made between 2006 and 2013, occurred before the 500 edits rule was introduced (2016). These edits could not have been intended to meet a requirement that did not exist at the time.
    I acknowledge that I intentionally split my contributions to reach the 500 edits threshold, only for the remaining 150 contributions needed to meet this target.
    However, since then, I have made over 700 additional contributions (~1200 in total) without splitting them. This can be seen in my average edit size, which is approximately 350 bytes and aligns with averages observed among contributors, including administrators.

    I hope this explanation demonstrates my commitment to addressing the concerns raised and regaining trust. Michael Boutboul (talk) 15:19, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for your continued interest in this permission. After reviewing your trial run, I ultimately came across too many issues to feel comfortable conferring full permissions at this time. In particular, I note that at 2012 Hama massacre and Battle of Maarrat Al-Nu'man, you marked as reviewed two redirects that were tagged for RfD but for which no RfD discussion was ever opened; the RfD tags should have been reverted after reviewing the page histories to confirm that no discussion was created. Further at Chris Rice (producer) you failed to note clear signs of COI/UPE editing. All that having been said, your AfD track record is quite strong, so I'm going to go ahead and give you an extension of the trial run, as I think the issues I identified are errors that can be corrected going forward. signed, Rosguill talk 19:51, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi. Currently the third most active pending changes reviewer on DreamRimmer's list, and I thought I'd try my hand at some larger-scale work of a similar fashion – rather than reviewing edits, reviewing articles.

    (Non-administrator comment) Hi there. (An admin will review your request). In the meantime you've only been a pending changes reviewer for just over a month and last year you only made just over 200 mainspace edits. From look at your talk page messages, You may have some time to go before you have fully absorbed all that is required at WP:NPP. Have you considered enrolling at the NPP School ?

    NPP puts powerful tools in the hands of users and they need an almost admin level knowledge of most policies. This comes very hard on the heels of you obtaining the PC right. I suggest you continue with that for a while and in the meantime thoroughly read the tutorial at WP:NPP, follow all the links to related processes and policies (especially CSD, Redirect, and moving), learn which parts needs consensus for changes, participate at WP:AfD to learn how that works, and then apply for a course at the NPP school in a couple of months.

    (Non-administrator comment) You have been almost totally absent from Wikipedia for around 4 years and with only around 5 mainspace edits in that time there is no indication of a consistent return to activity. In view of the frequent grantings and removals of this user right and the many changes to policies and process over the past 4 years, you would almost certainly need to catch up by doing routine maintenance and participation in AfD discussion for which you don't need the NPP tools yet. I would suggest before applying for the right again the minimum would be the start criteria for NPP of at least 90 days consistent contributions to Wikipedia with at least 500 undeleted mainspace edits.

    Page mover

    Hello. I am requesting this permission mainly in order to perform certain page moves myself (including some bold ones), instead of raising the issue at WP:RM/TR, and basically bothering others to do my work for me. It would be very helpful to being able to use the delete-redirect right, as well the suppressredirect right, without leaving redirects behind my moves (which I would mainly use when reverting page move vandalism). If granted, I intend to use it responsibly (and just occasionally – when needed), in the same way as I am using other permissions that were granted to me so far. Over the years, I have made quite a few moves and 76 edits at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests. I have file mover permission since 2014. As for my general experience, I have been around for almost 15 years, with c. 150,000 edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 23:32, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    One observation is that you haven’t participated or closed many RM discussions recently, and we haven’t seen any RMTR or CSD requests for over a year. TiggerJay(talk) 06:30, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tiggerjay: Yes, I am aware of that. I tend to participate in a RM discussion when I am interested in its subject, and/or when I have enough time with my other work here. Neither of that simply didn't happen too often, recently. Also, I have the habit of never closing a discussion myself, as I'm always thinking that someone might stumble upon and leave their two cents at the last moment. As for RMTR requests, I didn't find a valid reason (or need) to file one in awhile, but there were periods when I was very active in that department. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 12:09, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Ahecht, ah, apologies. I didn't realize a "request moves" page existed, and I do not have move or merge permissions. I was simply undoing something that wasn't correct... hence why I requested move perms earlier so I could fix it. Ali Beary (talk) 12:38, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Ahecht just curious, would you object to a grant here? If so this should be declined for now. Otherwise I'd consider granting since PCR is a pretty newbie-friendly permission. Elli (talk | contribs) 17:35, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Elli I haven't re-reviewed their history, but if there have been no significant red flags since mid-January I'd be fine with granting. --Ahecht (TALK

    I have been editing for a while and I think I have a decent understanding of the basic policies. I'd like to help review pending changes. Aŭstriano (talk) 07:53, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I've been actively editing and reviewing contributions for a while, and I’m familiar with Wikipedia's guidelines. Having pending changes reviewer rights would let me help ensure that new articles meets our quality standards. Vellutis (talk) 13:41, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Rollback

    I am requesting rollback permissions. While I don’t edit often, I know how important it is to quickly address vandalism and fix problematic edits. This account is an alternative to Randompersonediting, but I’m requesting rollback here for transparency. I understand how to use rollback responsibly, and I will only use it to fix vandalism or obvious errors. I know misuse could lead to losing this privilege and will use it carefully.

     Not done Receiving criticism of your reverts and then archiving it without response does not bode well for use of rollback. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:12, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The majority of my edits are either looking through recent changes for vandalism, or fixing references. Rollback seems like it would help do the former more comfortably. Purplemontart (talk) 06:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done Too little recent activity - you've made a few reverts yesterday, and before that had been gone for months. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:13, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, I want to add request about to be a rollbacker. This is because I were used WP:Twinkle a week ago and I want to make sure the page isn't broken by other irresponsible users. Secondly, the reason that I want to be a rollbacker is to protect the safety of other users and avoid vandalism in the page.

    Thank you if I become rollbacker. MAS0802 07:04, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done No recent changes patrolling in history, one edit with Twinkle is not sufficient for this. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:15, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    After starting with Recent Changes Patrolling I found myself in a very rewarding position, seeing that I can help other Wikipedians and the Wiki as a whole. But I also experienced the limitation of not having the Rollback right so I'd like to switch to AntiVandal or Huggle. Squawk7700 (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm actively patrolling articles on countries, political figures, and political parties that are frequently vandalized. Rollback permissions would help me quickly remove harmful edits and maintain articles accuracy and quality. Vellutis (talk) 13:48, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template editor

    I come across bugs in template-protected templates from time to time, and I think I'm proficient enough to fix them without someone else checking it over. For instance, I recently submitted an edit request to fix {{Huggle/warn-unsor-2}}'s substitution behavior, and I found a similar issue in {{uw-editsummary2}}. I understand that edits to widely-used templates should be tested in a sandbox first, that they should reflect consensus, and that they can have nontrivial performance costs. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:51, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
