I mostly organize and facilitate Wikipedia training events in Ghana. Having the Event coordinator right will enable me create multiple new accounts, and to temporarily confirm accounts so that they can create new articles. Celestinesucess (talk) 08:37, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

 Done for one year to expire 2021-01-12. If you still need it after that you can post on my talk page or back here at PERM for a renewal. Best, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) 23:44, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks in advance for your help. I serve as the Wikipedian in Residence for University of Toronto Libraries and will be frequently coordinating instructional programming/edit-a-thons that involve mass account creation. I will additionally be requesting a lift on the IP cap 2-3 weeks in advance for most events; event coordinator permissions will help me confirm accounts for new page creation or image uploads.

@Utl jung: did you know that if you use the Program & Events Dashboard for your event sign ups, you don't have to worry about asking for IP cap changes? — xaosflux ^Talk 16:38, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for this @Xaosflux:, I did see that! But I often facilitate in settings where I am not the main organiser, or where clean onboarding of every attendee through the program & events dashboard is more difficult in practice. Many participants come in mid-event and sometimes program structure is kept flexible to accommodate different availabilities. New-account limits on image uploads and article creation have been an issue more often than IP caps have, especially if some attendees come with accounts that they have made in the past but have not really used. Overall, I find myself in enough of a variety of situations as a facilitator that could be helped by coordinator permissions. Such permissions are to be exercised, of course, within reason.

@Utl jung: agree! Having a flagged coordinator is still a good idea for an in-person event. That was mostly about perhaps not needing to bother with phab tickets for configuration changes. — xaosflux ^Talk 18:20, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

@Xaosflux: Aah yes I hear you. Your reminder is appreciated 🙏 Utl jung (talk) 19:05, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm a co-coordinator this year of an annual editathon here at UC Berkeley, Art and Feminism and Race and Justice. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/UC_Berkeley/UC_Berkeley_Art_and_Feminism_and_Race_and_Justice_2020_Edit-a-Thon_(March_4,_2020) I'd like permission to be the person at the event who can help with account creation, just in case. I understand (and am glad) that this will be temporary! Thanks so much! Librariannx (talk) 20:12, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
