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, 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

User groups

• 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 quick guide 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:

• Administrator and bureaucrat access: Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, respectively.
• Bots: Request for bot flags should be made at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.
• Edit filter: Requests for access to the edit filter manager group and the edit filter helper group should be made at Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard.
• Interface administrator: Requests for interface administrator access should be made at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. Only current administrators may become interface administrators.
• IP-block-exempt: While the IP-block-exempt right can be granted by administrators, this flag is not handled here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be submitted via the Unblock Ticket Request System or, if there are significant privacy concerns, email the checkuser team at checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org or contact a CheckUser directly.
• Checkuser and Oversight: These rights are only granted by the Arbitration Committee, and only after strict scrutiny. More information can be found here.
• AfC reviewer: This access is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants.
• Redirect patrol whitelist: Addition to the whitelist is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
• Steward permissions can only be granted in yearly elections, and are rarely given.
• Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global permissions.

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, 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.

Hello, I kindly request this right because I will be creating a lot of pages on places (villages, district etc) and also on local grape varieties. I do have an adequate knowledge on policies such as notability guidelines, copyright, BLP and etc. I would kindly to be assessed. Best Regards Kemalcan (talk) 14:04, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Kemalcan:  Done, thank you for your contributions. Please remember to add WikiProject tags (e.g. {{WikiProject Turkey}}) to articles you create from now on, since reviewers will no longer do that for you. – Joe (talk) 17:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: For the record, I disagree with this and was intending on declining it. Users who only create one-sentenced, cookie cutter, geographical stubs should not be granted autopatrolled. Not that these creations aren't valuable or appreciated, just that they don't demonstrate any significant level of quality content creation experience and/or trustworthiness to warrant a blanket exemption from NPP. I say this only because I've been burned multiple times by these grants; users who assert they're here to create uncontentious stubs, and then subsequently have quality issues such as copyvios, POV-pushing or promotion. I'm not here to ABF on the part of the user nor to dress you down, I simply wish to share my experience that these types of grants are unwise. AP is a sweeping exemption from quality control and should not be granted without good reason. In these cases, the NPP time saved is minimal, and the uncertainty is fairly substantial. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 03:53, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Swarm makes a good point, although maybe expressed a bit too overtly. The user has had an account barely a month, only started making pages 5 days ago and practically all are identical iterations of each other, less a place name change. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:39, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

My view is the opposite: people who create uncontroversial stubs have the clearest case for autopatrolled. Especially ones on populated places – WP:GEOLAND says they're automatically notable, they all follow the same simple format, and the risk of them violating any of the core content policies is minimal. They rarely if ever need to be reviewed. That said, I confess I didn't notice that Kemalcan had started actively editing so recently (their account is actually 5 years old). @Swarm: Do you want me to reverse this? Or perhaps make it temporary (until they are done with their GEOLAND project)? – Joe (talk) 10:11, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

I have to agree, as I patrol articles off this page; there is no indication of any ability to create meaningful, problem-free content with the cookie-cutter account creation paradigm. GenQuest ^"scribble" 17:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

To answer your question, Joe, it’s best to revert. Schwede66 05:20, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: I do think it would be best to reverse the grant here, especially considering the new information that has come to light. However I do not want it to distract from my point. My intent is not to overrule you, it's to share the larger point that I think is important for consideration. I do understand your logic, I once employed it myself. However, the problem is that that logic only applies so long as the user only ever makes uncontentious stubs. And there's no guarantee of that. AP doesn't just apply to such stubs, it applies to all creations ever. We have to be confident not just that their stubs don't need review, but that we can reasonably trust that any content they will ever create will not need review. And without anything showing us that, we have no reason to extend that sort of confidence. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 23:08, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello again, i have read the comments above. I have to admit that this ongoing topic after i am being granted as an Autopatrolled, is not motivating. Requirements for the application are clearly stated on top of the page. I requested it after the requirements have been met. As you can see from my contributions, my efforts for this community is obvious and valid. I would like to note that all articles i have created here were accepted by an NPP, and there were no violation. I may understand those articles look simple, but those are still notable and need to be created. We do all have different roles in the wiki community. (I am also a Patroller (NPP+Autopatrolled) at TurkishWiki.) As you may all know, the right i am being granted here, is a type of right that can be reverted by any admin by any time in the case of violation. Thank you once again. I will do my best to turn all comments here into positive and focused energy for the wiki community. Best Regards..--Kemalcan (talk) 07:43, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

You should not be demotivated, I made it clear that this has nothing to do with your articles not being valuable. This is simply a discussion as to whether editors who only create one-sentence stubs have demonstrated the experience and trustworthiness needed to obtain this right. If you read WP:AUTOPATROLLED, you'll know that the numerical requirement is not a guarantee that we just rubberstamp. This is absolutely nothing personal, and I don't want you to take it personally. However, these types of requests normally aren't granted, so it needs to be discussed. ~Swarm~ ^{sting} 23:12, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello again, of course your comments are valuable. I respect your opinion. As it can be seen from my recent contributions, i am not necessarily adding one-sentence stubs. Here you can have a look at 1 2 3. As i said before, we do all have different roles in wiki community. There are thousands and thousands notable topics needs to be created. My efforts are obvious and clear. Good editing! Regards.--Kemalcan (talk) 07:30, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Not done – Hi, and thank you for creating an account to edit Wikipedia. Although I fully understand your desire to dive right in, many of our articles are semi-protected because they are controversial, prone to vandalism, or other reasons. As a new editor with few edits, it might be wise to discuss your edits on the article talkpage in order to gain consensus for your edits, and then use {{Edit semi-protected}} to request the edit be performed. I only recommend this until you are used to the challenges of reliable sources, the biographies of living persons policy, and other similar policies. The good news is that fewer than 5 percent of Wikipedia articles are protected; this means that more than 95 percent of the articles can use your help right now! — JJMC89 (T·C) 04:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

I want add section about Discrimination of minorities on Wikipedia:

Wikipedia has discrimination "Noticeability" policy against minorities. For example, Wikipedia do not accept articles about popular minority singers because they are noticeable according to Wikipedia policy, even if they are noticeable person in minority. By this Wikipedia promotes only general-trend culture and suppress cultural diversity. Discrimination "notability policy" of Wikipedia do not consider impact and benefits of minority noticeable person for they society. According to Wikipedia policy only person of “big” nationalities allowed to be represented on wiki. If you are for example Aleut, who is only 400 people the world, your best singer never be allowed to be mentioned on Wikipedia.

Fastily, the account will probably serve two purposes - for editing on public connections (when COVID restrictions end) and as a backup in case this one gets compromised. As for pages that it'll be editing, it'll probably be doing the same sort of work as my regular account, such as RC patrolling and perhaps maintenance tasks.

Greetings & thank you all for giving me a chance to serve. I believe I have thus far familiarized myself with file moving in accordance to WP:FMV/W & work predominantly with FNC#2 & have successfully renamed this , this, this this to their current appropriate title. I also have knowledge of image policies discussed in detail at WP:IUP & when not requesting for a “rename media” I do general file patrolling & work With Di's & F9's as can be observed here, here. here & here. I optimize the Tin Eye reverse image function to aid me in identifying copyvio’s. I also understand to satisfaction the WP:FURG policy. I also sparingly do menial work on Commons by detecting copyvio’s & requesting their speedy deletions as seen here, here, here or partaking in image related deletion discussion as seen here In the spirit of transparency, i should also state that during my early days of working with files I had erred occasionally in applying incorrectly [[WP:#FNC2]]’s in titles that weren’t necessarily meaningless as can observed here & correctly declined here & it took the help of Godsy to set me straight. Thank you all for your time. Celestina007 (talk) 17:01, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

• @Celestina007: The first example was adjusted by Godsy, File:Russian Crash Fabric Material.jpg should have been File:Russian Crash fabric material.jpg, the third has been deleted or you copied the wrong link, the fourth is on Commons (which has slightly different moving criteria) and while acceptable, I would generally recommend to make the filename more descriptive than just the name, especially when more images of the subject are available or could be uploaded in the near future. (e.g. by adding "in 2020", "with white background" and/or "in black turtleneck") I don't question you doing good work, but I suggest filing some more rename requests. There is no backlog so don't worry. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 06:32, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Really, once a rename is deemed appropriate per the criteria, there is wide leeway with the name. Regarding File:Russian Crash Fabric Material.jpg (which I renamed), capitalization is merely a preference. There may, rightly, be no backlog but it never hurts to have more hands on deck to timely reject or approve and implement requests. The only thing not approving new users when they demonstrate the appropriate capabilities does is to establish an old-guard cutlure. I think Celestina007 has worked and inquired more than most to learn the ropes of file renaming and see no issue with their request being granted. — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 22:27, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

@Godsy: While I agree the old guard culture is toxic and can result in increased corruption, I think the only difference between us is that my bar for "demonstrate the appropriate capabilities" is slightly higher than yours. I do think Celestina007 could be a file mover fairly soon, but just not yet. Personally I'd say that in general any user who has requested 20 file moves of which 90% or more were granted without major adjustments can be promoted. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 05:25, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the support @Godsy it is very much appreciated. Hello@Alexis Jazz, thank you for raising those points/queries as I believe them to be constructive criticism but like I stated earlier most of my errors were at my early stages of working with files and ones I won’t repeat because as of now I understand to satisfaction what is outlined in WP:FMV/W. Generally I find file moving in its entirety, a great place to work in, I believe I can contribute my own quota there, as you rightfully stated there isn’t a huge backlog there but I believe if granted this perm and the backlog does invariably increase, I would be there to take care of them alongside yourself, Godsy and the lot of other editors who work with files. Thank you also for the advice above which states I would generally recommend to make the filename more descriptive than just the name, especially when more images of the subject are available or could be uploaded in the near future. (e.g. by adding "in 2020", "with white background". I’d be more than happy to answer any further queries. Furthermore, It’s interesting how working with files also aids me in new page patrolling and fighting spam articles. Happy new year to you all and I hope you do take all this into consideration and give me s chance to prove myself and serve the community better. Thank you all. Celestina007 (talk) 15:51, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

• I understand your concerns about me not filing enough rename media’s, however Alexis, I did nab both this & this today. I really do put in effort. Celestina007 (talk) 00:10, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Celestina007: I've copied your comment from my talk page to keep the discussion central, as I actually want to comment on this. According to the uploader of File:Screen Shot 2021-01-08 at 1.02.02 PM.png: "Glenn Foley, mid pass. This is from an old newspaper clipping I believe, I couldn't find the original source". I declined the request and tagged the file for WP:CSD#F9. No license and Glenn Foley is alive. (so no fair use) File:Scott Cawthon.png appears to be a selfie of Scott Cawthon and was extracted from Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted game files: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgWbZ1G4Cgw&t=103s. (the narrator says "the majority of them were total fabrications from the mind of a complete lunatic (lawsuits pending)." so this explains why the file was originally uploaded as "CompleteLunatic.png". No license and Scott is also alive so no possible fair use rationale, tagged for CSD F9. There is no need to rename media that is going to be deleted anyway. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 08:08, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

@Alexis Jazz, oh thanks, I’d be keeping that in mind moving forward and won’t bother to rename files that are likely to be deleted. Pertaining this I had seen “Complete Lunatic” and thought it very much offensive thus I applied FNC#8. I would be keeping an eye on source and license information before proceeding to renaming, which I usually always do, but to be honest I was a tad bit hasty and I take responsibility for that.

I've read and internalized the PCR criteria, and I think I'd be well-suited for the role. I enjoy clearing backlogs, and I strive to be fair and non-bitey when dealing with mis-stepping new users such as those who may get their changes rejected. I've been working actively on an article that has a history of COI edits, so I'm used to keeping an eye out for things that look wrong. I think becoming a pending changes reviewer would allow me to contribute better to the wiki, both by honing skills I have and helping me develop ones I'm still working on.

It was 9 months ago, when I first actively started editing, and at the time, I wasn't really familiar with most Wikipedia policies. Although, I hadn't really done off-wiki coordinated work with anyone, but had shared what I was editing in a Discord server, which prompted other members to replicate my edits and resulted in a short ban. I think it's safe to say that I've learnt not to share my editing work anywhere since then and am familiar with all relevant Wikipedia policies. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 08:28, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

@Rosguill: Since you previously removed these rights and they aren't mentioned in the nomination, could you comment? -- Amanda (aka DQ) 05:54, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

@AmandaNP:, I removed these permissions when investigating an NPP-related issue and saw both what appeared to be tampering with a CSD log and an old, ignored COI notice. If memory serves, Tatupiplu claimed that the CSD log issue was an honest mistake, saying that she thought that failed nominations didn't belong in the log, and that she didn't realize that she needed to respond to the COI. I have no objection to them being restored if her track record since then is clear. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 16:38, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

I have become very active with reverting vandalism and recent change patrolling. I am aware of and have read WP:ROLLBACKUSE, and understand that it is only for blatant vandalism. I have been using a combination of Redwarn and Twinkle, which have both worked very well, and I have been very effective with. I feel I could be more effective if I was able to use rollback on the blatant vandalism, as rollback works faster than native redwarn, and I often run into other editors 'sniping' me to performing the actions. I plan on continuing to use these tools as well as trying Huggle.

Thank you! ~RAM (talk) 11:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Ram1055, if the only reason was being quicker than someone else to perform the same action, the result would be the same for the encyclopedia, and the request would be pointless. That said,

Hey,

I like to think that I am pretty active in the counter-vandalism community. I have 735 edits and I believe that I could be trusted with this permission.

I am seeking this permission due to my search for a different counter-vandalism tool. I absolutely love twinkle and ive been using it with Lupin for a while, however Lupin's tools have slowly stopped working well for me and i'm seeking to branch out into other tools, and regardless of my resistance to applying for this permission it seems my options are greatly restricted without it.

I believe that my past edits demonstrate my understanding of the relevant policies and guidelines surrounding counter-vandalism.

@Primefac: I have been discussing a module with Elliot321 and was about to visit their talk and offer this right on condition that they had absorbed the requirements of WP:Template editor. I'm not familiar with protocol here—are points 5/6 above a knockout or would you be ok with me proceeding here? Johnuniq (talk) 04:16, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

They are the two discretionary guides. The last two requests where 5/6 were not met were denied (one was similar to this and we just dropped the template/module protection). However, we've also granted in similar circumstances, though I will say that's usually when the requester is in the thousands for a template-edit count. If you feel that granting is acceptable, you are welcome to go for it; when I did the numbers last night I decided I was too tired to make any summary judgement (and thus I haven't looked into it enough to really give an opinion at this time).
