    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 (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

    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

    Hi. Based upon my learning and experience over the years of editing on Wikipedia (almost a decade now), I have created very selected pages which I find qualifying Wikipedia policies. If I find them trending in news but un-complying with the policies, I usually leave a redirect, or occasionally start with the draft. I believe not a single page that I created and/or majorly contributed has been deleted, and many respected editors and admins whom I had interacted with have always been helpful and supportive, believing in my good faith. Plus I only rewrite those articles in bad state which I find relevant, and not every other random article. However, due to recent attacks by sock puppetry over my edits, I want to be an autopatrolled user, so that I can easily continue volunteering independently here, and participate in the ongoing Destubathon as well. I promise I will not misuse this position. Thank you! M. Billoo 13:24, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello there, my respect to you! I would like to request for getting autopatrolled rights because I contribute interesting articles to both English and Simple Wikipedia. I have over 700 edits, which is over the requirements, and my account is over 3 months old. If I get autopatrolled rights, I will never forget this appreciation I got and I will continue contributing to Wikipedia, and I will also continue to take responsibilities for my actions. Thanks! Waiting for a feedback. :-) Victor Ningthemcha (talk) 13:06, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have been on Wikipedia for more than a decade, and I truly feel that it is one of my great passions in life. I have more than 30,000 edits, and I am credited with more than 300 articles that are not Redirects or Disambiguation pages. (I personally take credit for more than 100 of these, which did not originate as Redirect pages.) Although I continue to propose Draft pages to this day when I am not 100% confident myself about notability, I frequently go straight to the mainspace and have made a number of articles that have been significant in some form or field, with my particular focus being on film industry and electoral politics pages.

    Recently, I redirected a few thousand Supreme Court of the United States cases to the case volumes in which they were listed. It was a large-scale project for me, but in the end it was decided that redlinks would be better for promoting caseload knowledge, something that I agreed to and I believe will continue to service our Wikipedia community. For this reason, it might appear that I have a large number of deleted pages, but this is almost exclusively due to this particular project; I had an edit deletion rate of less than 2%, and I had not had a page that I created taken down in years, not since I was a far more novice editor. (You can read more about that SCOTUS discussion here.)

    I believe that being autopatrolled will continue to allow me to contribute to the Wikipedia community, and that is why I am reaching out to ask for permissions. I am happy to answer any questions or improve any articles that I have created if there is anything noticeable that needs help. Although I have long been looking to increase my permissions and role in the community, I quite frankly have always had impostor syndrome stop me from asking, but a bit of encouragement from Liz made me try. Thank you so much! PickleG13 (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    This editor has created quite a few articles related to archeological sites recently; I marked the most recent ones as reviewed and a random sampling of the others showed no major issues. I will note that his creation Shadows at the Door: The Podcast was deleted at AfD early last year, but that seems to be an outlier in his work, and the issue has not come up again in the 25+ creations since. I don't believe NPP needs to be going over his submissions any longer. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 04:41, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    When I've seen Richard Nevell's own articles, just in general reading or at DYK, I've seen no significant issues. I had the pleasure of working with him last ear at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20240707, which has so far involved cleaning up some messy transvios, close paraphrasing, and source-text integrity issues introduced by a sockfarm, so he's demonstrated a very good understanding of all those policies (which are a little more important than notability). I agree with TechnoSquirrel that he'd be a good candidate for AP. GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 08:57, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    That link is dead. Also, if you're using the programs and events dashboard, you should set up the dashboard to allow people to request accounts, which would obviate the need for you to have event coordinator access. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:54, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason for requesting event coordinator rights I occasionally help out with events - and expect to do this again more often in the future (recently in the Bay Area, going forward in the Netherlands). Being able to create accounts without hitting rate limits due to event-shared wifi would be helpful! In a pinch, I could rely on my adminship in nlwiki, but that feels like an undesirable workaround. This request is triggered specifically by an event on 8 July 2025 at Stanford (which is also referenced by Aviad above), but will be useful beyond that. effeietsanders 00:44, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done Some general advice. If you are making a WP:Clean start, then you should follow the instructions on that page. If you are ever going to edit again with your original account, then please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry#Alternative account notification. You state that you do not want any public connection between your original and new user accounts. EC access before the 30/500 criteria is met is almost never granted except for alternate accounts, which normally requires public acknowledgement of the connection on both accounts. If you wish to pursue this, I suggest that you privately email the Arbitation Committee (email address=ArbCom) from your original account to inform them of your alternate account. Donald Albury 15:51, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Can you please give me a link with which I can contact them? Or their mail or something? Milk'n'Thyme 16:23, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    nvm, i got it Milk'n'Thyme 16:48, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If you have email activated on your original account, just use that to email ArbCom, as I mentioned above. That will establish that the account belongs to you. You can also email them from outside WP using arbcom-en@wikimedia.com. That will not establish your connection to the account, however. I suggest reading Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee#Contacting the Committee for the disclaimers. Donald Albury 16:57, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Previously, I withdrew my request because I felt I needed more experience with Wikipedia’s guidelines. I made a good-faith mistake, but with guidance from senior editors, I’ve learned from the experience and am committed to ensuring it doesn’t happen again. Currently, I serve as an AFC reviewer, primarily focusing on South Asia-related articles especially those related to India. I have a solid understanding of the reliability of Indian sources, which allows me to review such content with confidence and care. I am now requesting the New Page Reviewer (NPP) right. If granted, I intend to limit my reviews to India-related articles, as I believe in contributing only in areas where I have strong subject knowledge. You may consider granting me this right on a trial basis, and if my work is found suitable, I would be happy to reapply for a more permanent role. If you have any concerns about my editing, I fully understand if the request is declined, and I would sincerely appreciate any suggestions or guidance on areas where I can improve to meet the required standards.

    Hello, I'd like to request the PCR right. I primarily spend my time on Wikipedia patrolling RC for vandalism and other problematic edits and occasionally come across pending change edits there. While I enjoy RC patrol, I would like to expand how I can help contribute here and PCR seems like a logical next step. I've read through the PCR criteria and guidelines and believe I have a decent understanding of the various content policies. Please let me know if you have any questions or see any issues. Thank you.

    When I patrol recent changes to revert vandalism, I often encounter vandalism or other unconstructive edits as pending changes (which I quickly revert anyway). Very often, I see these buried in the “hours old” end of my filter. Equipping me with this tool would let me help reduce the backlog as another area I can contribute.

    Rollback

    Hi I am requesting rights to use the rollback feature as finding vandalism has actually been a very cool thing for me. I am requesting to be able so I don't have to undo multiple edits by spam-vandals, as I feel like it makes me kind of a spammer when I do this, and doing it all at once would be a great thing. I will admit that I had absolutely no idea that anyone could post warnings on talk pages, I thought that only admins and other experienced members who are given rights could do so. I just want to feel like less of a spammer when reverted edits, so I am requesting this rollback feature. Thanks, MakaylaHippo1998 MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, I've been RC Patrolling for a few years now (more consistently recently, but intermittently before that), and I think counter-vandalism work has been the bulk of all the edits I've ever made on Wikipedia. I hadn't bothered to request Rollbacker before this as I've been getting on quite well with Twinkle for a long while now so I didn't really see the point. However, more recently, as I've spent longer and more regular periods of time reverting larger quantities of edits, I've been getting a bit frustrated with some of the slowdowns with Twinkle. I am requesting Rollbacker as I've heard it's a lot faster and smoother than Twinkle, and I am also interested in trying out some of the rollbacker tools (e.g. Huggle) to see if they work well for me and if I can use them to combat vandalism more effectively.

    Hi, I am a CVU on the German Wikipedia and I am becoming more involved into fighting X-Wiki vandalism. On dewp I am Sichter (Rollback&Review) and temporary-account-viewer. Since my intentions are to fight global vandalism, I will not use the user right locally until I have studied Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback. NDG (talk) 07:49, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Consent! But please let an administrator decide. I explained how I restrict myself at the beginning and what my intention is despite the requirements for this application. NDG (talk) 11:15, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
