Wikipedia:Requests for permissions
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:
- 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-wp
wikipedia.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 autopatrol list: Addition to the list is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list.
- 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
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.

Can i please have extended confirmed rights back. I lost it because one day when i had a little less than 500 edits, i made about 45-55 edits in one hour in order to get to 500 edits. Im new to this site and didn't know gaming edits was against the rules. Ever since i lost the extended confirmed thing, I've made hundreds of edits i think are constructive and i stopped vandalism a few times and have a much better understanding of the rules. extended confirmed rights HumansRightsIsCool (talk) 21:59, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Good day. I previously requested this permission but was declined due to lack of editing time on this account (I worked on an IP previously but have no way to prove this). At the risk of appearing too eager for this permission, I am requesting it again as I now have lengthier editing experience. I have demonstrated experience in AfC, AfD, CSD, draftification, and article creation. I also maintain rollbacker and pending change permissions. I believe I can be help bring down the NPP backlog and have the experience and policy understanding that is necessary to do so accurately. Garsh (talk) 01:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

I have over 90,000 edits since 2008, over 5,000 pages created, clean log, no ANI reports or significant controversies etc. I was going to put a request at WP:RM/TR when I realised I am probably experienced enough to request and use page mover rights without the risk of making mistakes. I do not plan to close WP:RM, except if I stumble on them and they are really clear-cut cases, and would basically just use moving rights to make non-controversial moves. --Cavarrone 09:25, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello to anyone concerned.
I am requesting rollbacker rights, having done so before without the knowledge of having to warn users after undoing their edits, and I believe I now have a substantial track record of doing so ever since promising to fulfill that role. I now also have a good idea of how to use tools such as Twinkle effectively, which have greatly helped my work against vandalism.
Thanks for taking your time to read my request. Best regards, Vasil3fonov (talk) 16:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

- You are still consistently failing to notify editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 09:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- The three sole examples of me not doing it from the past month and a half, which you are referring to, are the same single person, making the same changes over and over to player statistics tables through different IPs for the past 12+ months. I looked up different pages that match the categories of the ones I've undone, and the user has been warned multiple times, to no effect, making the same edit again and again. They then stop editing from that IP and start doing the same exact edits from a new one. They have been warned multiple times by multiple users for the exact same edit yet still repeatedly undo other users' work without any explanation when they are clearly in the wrong. Examples of this are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, etc., etc.; some of those edits were way over a year ago, and I am only referencing the ones that the user has been warned for (there are thousands of other such cases from tens, if not hundreds of different IPs) that they haven't been warned for by users who revert their edits. In this case, I have decided that reaching out to the user is futile and I believe that in such extreme examples, that should be an option. What is the point of a warning the user when it is clearly proven that they will keep doing it from new IPs and never read the original talk page anyway?
- I have not failed to warn a single other user for the time period since I had promised to do so, which I believe is the whole point of rollback rights in the first place. I strongly believe that this specific, and definitely irregular, case is not sufficient to justify the denial of the rights. However, this is just my point of view on the topic and if you really believe that I am in the wrong and that I should repeatedly (
and foolishly) warn the same user for the same thing that they will not stop doing, and expecting a different result, then maybe I do not really need rollback rights in the end if that is to be your final verdict. - Thanks, Vasil3fonov (talk) 11:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
- You're clearly missing the point. The notifications aren't for you, they're of value to the patrolling admin and anyone interested in curtailing/tracking abuse. If you had tried the tools I linked above, you would know that notifying an editor takes a grand total of 3 clicks and 5 seconds. If that's still too much effort for you, then it's high time for you to explore other aspects of Wikipedia that don't involve counter-vandalism. The very fact that you spent more time to compose this nonsensical essay for the sake of argument strongly suggests to me that you are not ready for rollback. Nonetheless, I have reviewed your contributions since your previous request and you haven't made enough reverts for me to determine whether you'd be able to use rollback correctly. -Fastily 19:49, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I can totally agree with the final sentence and I think that would've sufficed. I can't figure out how to use Twinkle and that's on my end. When I use the "rollback" or "vandalism" button, it just opens the user's talk page and I need to manually put in the specific warning template each time. That's more effort than you've pointed out and not something I'm willing to do in cases such as the one you've labelled "nonsensical". And now that I've mentioned the "case", that user is already reverting my reverts of their edits despite the issued warnings on their other IPs' talk pages, but I suppose that's not something that can be dealt with by any available tools to me or the admins.
- And just to be clear, I wasn't arguing for the sake of it, I really do believe I've missed the point of rollback in general, so I will withdraw my request and won't submit one in the future. Vasil3fonov (talk) 20:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
- That's not accurate. We have multiple avenues for dealing with long term abusers, namely WP:AIV, WP:SPI, WP:RFPP. According to your edit history, I see you've made a handful of requests to RFPP, a single edit to AIV, and no edits to SPI. I do suggest you try those first before throwing up your hands and proclaiming that all is lost. To be clear, I'm happy to grant you rollback if you can both demonstrate a need for it and understanding of how to use it appropriately. Apologies if I sounded harsh above. If you do decide to take up RecentChanges patrol, then I hope to see you back here. Closing as
Not done per your request. -Fastily 00:52, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- I will look into other ways to counter the issue then, thanks for the advice. And I see my previous mistake, it's definitely not your fault for replying in that way, so no offence taken. Cheers, Vasil3fonov (talk) 07:57, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

- You are still consistently failing to notify editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make. Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 09:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi everyone, I'm 2RDD. I've been editing Wikipedia for a year now and have made over a thousand edits. I'm passionate about maintaining article quality and combating vandalism. I believe Rollbacker rights would help me make a bigger impact. I'm eager to take on this responsibility and contribute to our community's mission. Thanks for considering my request!

Hey, I would like to request for the rollback permission because I am engaged in rollback activities very much for some time. This permission would be very helpful and will make my Wiki activity very easier. Moreover, I am experienced enough with enough edits and edit time in Wikipedia. I have read everything about this tool and will abide by all the rules too.! Thanking you! TheProEditor11 (talk) 10:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC) TheProEditor11 (talk) 10:52, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend at least a month actively patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & Ultraviolet can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, Fastily 19:37, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I would like access to rollback rights in order to use tools such as Huggle that require rollback rights. Most of my edits have been anti-vandalism work, and I feel that access to these tools would help me revert and warn more effectively. I would like to mention that there may be a few problems with my edits that anyone reviewing may bring up:
1. In my first few reverts (using only the built-in undo tool) before I was auto-confirmed, I did fail to notify some of the users I was reverting. This is mainly because I didn't yet have access to RedWarn, Twinkle, or Ultraviolet in order to warn users quickly. Secondly, I was not aware of the correct procedure to deal with Vandalism. Now, however, almost every revert has been using Ultraviolet or RedWarn and I have been giving warnings to every user. I believe I have a sufficient track record of doing this that you can see in my contribs. I have read all relevant procedures relating to Rollback and how to deal with Vandalism, including Wikipedia:Vandalism, Wikipedia:Rollback, Wikipedia:Reverting, as well as Wikipedia:Username policy. You can also see in my contribs that after I read the relevant procedures but before I was autoconfirmed, I manually warned some of the users that I was reverting.
2. I am applying slightly before I have one month of experience. If I need to reapply in two weeks or so, I will be happy to. However, I believe that my track record shows that a large majority of my reverts have been helpful and demonstrate good understanding of the policy as I've learned it.

Not done I noticed you started actively editing 2 weeks ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend at least a month gaining experience editing Wikipedia before assigning you advanced permissions. Also, please ensure that you are consistently warning editors when you revert their edits (I recommend using tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which makes this extremely easy).

I have a nine or so months of experience on Wikipedia now. If you check my editing history, you will also see my experience at fighting vandalism. I think it would be very useful to have the rollback tool. Thanks. Note that I am also a pending changes reviewer. TheWikiToby (talk) 19:54, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
Not done I noticed you started actively reverting vandalism a little over a week ago. While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I'd like to see you spend more time gaining experience fighting vandalism before assigning you advanced permissions. Keep up the good work, and consider reapplying in a month.
