    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:

    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.

    Current requests

    Account creator


    Autopatrolled

    GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Also worth mentioning GnocchiFan created 84 non redirect articles. One article was deleted Sophie Ottaway 8-months ago. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:25, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    checkY X's Tools is only finding 4 GAs. But regardless, done...--v/r - TP 19:24, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @TParis: I was just taking a look at this when you accepted the request, but I have my concerns here. The single source tags on Martha Bohachevsky-Chomiak and Elizabeth Neesom are valid, and Elisabeth Nilsson (lawyer) doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability very well. They have some very good-looking articles, but I feel that the basis of quality for their creations needs to be a bit higher before they're ready for the autopatrolled flag. Courtesy ping for GnocchiFan; I hope this feedback is useful for your writing in the future. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:36, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree – those are valid concerns. I've removed the flag. Schwede66 20:20, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't really hold the same reservations that you do. There is a systematic bias against covering women in history and it's even greater outside of western media. There has been an effort to increase coverage of women and I feel these two articles are geared towards that goal. It's easy to write an internet article about a living person that recently does a thing and get it published. It only costs bits and bytes. But sources existing in the early 20th century or earlier, about women, when publishing was costlier rings stronger with regards to GNG than a single article on the internet. Overall, I'm confident this user will create encyclopedic content without significant errors. None of us are error free.--v/r - TP 20:27, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Seems to be an experienced content creator whose creations are no longer in need of input from NPP. They don't have a clean record of their articles being kept at AfD, but the last deletion was a year and half and 60 articles ago, and looking through a random sampling of their work since then doesn't reveal any major issues.

    I saw my username on the Wikipedia database reports and found out I was eligible for the autopatrolled privilege. I've made lots of articles about Indian politicians recently and will continue to do so in the future. I'm a trusted user with lots of rights including NPP and fully familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I also have the redirect autopatrol pseudoright, and I'd like to request the autopatrolled right in order to reduce the reviewing workload of new page patrollers.

    I have almost 25,000 edits, of which 98.9% are still live and have created 49 articles of which only one has been deleted, and that was a naming error on my part. I am a member of New Page Patrol as of September 2024. I am familiar with Wikipedia guidelines for both creation and deletion of articles. I would like to request autopatrol rights. Demt1298 (talk) 15:13, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done, thank you for your contributions. – Joe (talk) 12:17, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I am requesting autopatrol rights as I have been an active contributor since my account was unblocked. During this time, I have created multiple articles that adhere to Wikipedia's content policies and guidelines. My contributions focus on history and education, and I take care to ensure thorough referencing and proper formatting in every article.

    I believe autopatrol rights would help reduce the workload for patrollers, as my work consistently meets Wikipedia's standards. I would appreciate your consideration of this request. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 17:00, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm sorry but the UPE concerns raised last year will disqualify you from this permission for the foreseeable future.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 12:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Joe Roe: My account was compromised. I didn't violate any policy of the Wikipedia since registered on this website. TheBirdsShedTears (talk) 12:28, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, but a) I have no way to confirm this (maybe @Xaosflux: can help with this?) and b) this is a sensitive right when it comes to UPE, I'm not sure we should be taking the risk of it happening again. – Joe (talk) 12:41, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While not definitive, a potential account compromise does seem to have occurred between August and September of 2023. As it has been a year since then, if no new concerns have been raised since then I suggest this request be evaluated based on the article creations since then. — xaosflux Talk 15:08, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Reading Beans Yes it would, but that was just en example. I also take part in the Wikipedia Unreferenced Articles project and often find very similar articles that need the same edit done to multiple of them, which is also why I'd find AWB beneficial. Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Confirmed

    The reason i wanted to ask to be confimed is that i was on the MF DOOM page and noticed that his name wasnt capitlized, he has stated many times in songs and other media that his name is spelled with "all caps", eventhis spotify page is capitlized so i was planning on correcting it but needed to either be autoconfimed or confirmed and i am sending this request for that reason. Mlsfcx (talk) 11:58, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     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! stwalkerster (talk) 12:47, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    New page reviewer

    I would like to request my NPP temporary approval be made permanent. It is currently set to expire on October 3. I initially requested this level of access to learn more about Wikipedia as a whole and take part in the September backlog drive. With the extended access I have learned more about the use of the Twinkle gadget and have requested notification access to article alerts for WikiProjects I participate in. I have worked to increase my participation in AFD and AFC. I have also used the CSD process for articles that meet the speedy deletion guidelines. I have began use of the copyvio process for evaluating pages and started adding links to foreign language articles about the same subject. I have enjoyed the work I have done during this time and hope to be able to continue to help my fellow editors grow knowledge on Wikipedia. Demt1298 (talk) 13:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    عماد الدين المقدسي, could you comment on your creation of Tyrone Smith (musician) in 2020?

    Page mover


    I often move poorly-titled pages to more appropriate titles, usually to make them more WP:CONCISE, specific, neutral, or to correct spelling and transliterations. I also revert undiscussed moves in line with WP:RMUM. I would greatly appreciate having the ability to manage this myself. Skitash (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

I'd like to become a pending change reviewer, as I've often wanted to help out but have struggled finding where I can actually contribute, and I think this is a good place to contribute. I'm familiar with the guidelines, as well. Thx56 (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Rollback

    I have been working to revert vandalism for some time now, mostly patrolling Recent changes. I have used Twinkle and RedWarn to revert vandalism and warn vandals. Rollback rights would make it easier for me to revert obvious vandalism. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn 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 08:27, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fastily: Thanks for pointing it out. I assure you that I will warn all vandals from now on. I hope you give me Rollback rights. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 12:40, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 01:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fastily: Offcourse, I will leave warnings/notifications for every revert. Charliehdb (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Great, thanks for confirming. I'm also a bit concerned by your recent block for edit warring. How have you learned from this experience, and in your own words, can you explain why your actions leading up to the block were inappropriate? Also, courtesy ping for @Bbb23 -Fastily 20:29, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think Charlie is ready for rollback. Besides responding to your request for an explanation, I think they should wait until they have a better track record, including not edit-warring and giving people warnings.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:55, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Fastily: I was blocked on 5 July 2024, due to edit warring. But after that, I have learned more about wikipedia policies. As you can see, in my recent contributions I haven't been in any edit warring and was notifying the users about the reverts. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 03:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Template editor

    I already work on templates from time to time, to improve formatting, fix links, add features, etc. My record speaks for itself that I am careful in making changes. Thanks. P 1 9 9   13:27, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Primefac: My "need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required" is proven by my overall record and experience with WP, not necessarily meeting an arbitrary guideline limit. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9   15:23, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I made no claims about your need, or lack thereof. I was simply filling out the standard guideline review. Primefac (talk) 15:36, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
