Wikipedia:Requests for permissions

This version of the page may not reflect the most current changes. Please purge this page to view the most recent changes.

• 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.

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 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.
• Election clerk has no process for requesting it; admins can grant it sua sponte to themselves or other admins.
• Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc. should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global permissions.

The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:

• If you wish to have any of your permissions removed, contact an administrator
• To request a review of another editor's use of a permission, use administrative action review
• If you believe someone's actions merit removal of a permission, raise your concern at the administrator's noticeboard

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.

To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting permission.

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.

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.

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.

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot ^talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 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]

I'm not inclined to grant autopatrolled so soon after the SCOTUS redirect deletions, but won't object if another admin wants to grant it. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:51, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your honest feedback, voorts. Although I hope that an admin decides to grant it, I have been on Wikipedia for a long time and I will continue to for a long time to come no matter what. Please let me know if you ever need help with anything, whether it's a full-scale project or a simple clean-up. PickleG13 (talk) 21:47, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regular article creator and Did you know? contributor who demonstrates understanding of the notability guidelines on a number of topics. No copyright violation troubles, and spot-checks for text–source integrity do indeed check out. Note their creation Not-deer was deleted at AfD earlier this year; I'm not inclined to give this too much weight here as it seems to have been a notability edge case, and experienced participants in that discussion gave reasonable arguments both for and against deletion. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:08, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have created over 25 new articles that meet notability guidelines and follow Wikipedia standards and guideliness. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s core content policies (NPOV, V, NOR) and believe that being autopatrolled will reduce the workload on new page patrollers. Thank you in advance Lanceloth345 (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Lanceloth345, could you comment on why Petrit Malaj was deleted a few weeks ago, and what you improved when you recreated it? (Courtesy ping for Sphilbrick, who deleted under CSD G12.) Similarlly with Gjesti, which is currently in draftspace. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 13:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Page Petrit Malaj was recreated again in neutral way + more sources, becouse first version had some words "sounding" not neutral at all, (my fault) as per draft:Gjesti lacking notability it's under review but explained at talk page of draft page reasons why he is notable ect.

Met this user at today's Event:NYC 400 Wiknic and Edit-A-Thon with Washington Square Park, and he lamented the delay in getting his articles patrolled despite being a prolific article writer. After reviewing their work, granting the autopatrolled right would be well-deserved. Three of their article creations from 2012 were deleted as non-notable malls. His 2014 creation of Ancient Theatre of Mytilene was deleted within days under WP:G12 which is not good but also more than a decade ago. Since then, he has written 221 live articles, 100 of which are C-class, across subjects including companies, biographies, and art pieces with adherence to our notability guidelines.

Hi, I’m re-applying for NPP permission after a three-month trial. I haven’t been a super prolific reviewer (90 articles + 38 redirects) but I’ve also done more content creation, de-stubbing, and AfD which I hope also helps demonstrate my understanding of the key principles.

All of my requests have reflected consensus and none have ever been contested, to my knowledge. In addition to filing requests, I have also performed several moves myself. I am kindly requesting the page mover right and hope to contribute at RM:TR when time permits and where my expertise is of use. Thank you for your consideration.

I've over 100k edits between this and my previous account and have made hundreds (possibly even thousands?) of moves, both discussion-based, bold, and technical. I'm pretty much only getting this to avoid needing to make uncontroversial technical requests, to reduce burden on reviewers. I will only really use this infrequently and for minor and uncontroversial moves. Almost all my uses will likely be romanization of Korean-related (fixing incorrect romanizations for especially historical topics). grapesurgeon (seefooddiet) (talk) 17:51, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m requesting to be granted the page mover right because I’m active at New Page Patrol. With this, I'll be able to move these articles without leaving a redirect would save somebody else the trouble of deleting these tagged redirects.

I believe this right will be benefit for me to contribute the project (I already have it at my native wiki). If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks in advance. Hasan (talk) 12:54, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’d like to request pending changes reviewer rights. I’ve been active for over a month now and have made 700+ edits, mostly focused on improving article tone, adding reliable sources, fixing formatting issues, and cleaning up drafts. I’ve created and improved a number of articles, particularly in biographical and cultural topics. I’m familiar with key policies like WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:COPYVIO, and I aim to contribute more to content maintenance through reviewing edits on protected pages. I’m careful with sourcing and would use reviewer tools with that same level of care. Cognifex (talk • contribs) 11:39, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting rollback in order to better fight vandalism. This is my second request attempt, with my first being over a year ago; it was rejected because my work patrolling recent changes was deemed too sporadic. Despite my patrolling of recent changes admittedly still being somewhat sporadic, I have come across two separate instances when having rollback rights would have allowed me to better contribute to the project (here and here). I consistently make sure to notify editors when reverting their edits, and I feel that I have a good track record when it comes to identifying vandalism in order to use rollback rights responsibly.

Hi - I've been patrolling the edit filter log for a few months and have had a few problems recently with the log occasionally disallowing Twinkle rollbacks, especially on unreferenced numeric changes. Am requesting MediaWiki rollback rights to avoid this in future. Thanks. Epsilon.Prota ^talk 22:24, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Epsilon.Prota, most of these won't be the type of "obvious vandalism" WP:ROLLBACKUSE refers to. Will you use a script to prompt you for an edit summary when using rollback for such tasks? Also, how do you ensure that the numeric change wasn't a correction and you're restoring unverifiable information? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:07, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ToBeFree - I intend to continue using Twinkle and Redwarn for the majority of my CV work, and would only use MediaWiki rollback in the uncommon situations where the edit filter flags such reverts. In such cases, I'd make sure to use Huggle or Antivandal to insert edit summaries, as I do when using Twinkle/Redwarn. Also, an unsourced numeric change by definition can't be a correction without a supporting reference. Reverting such changes serves to alert (in the majority of cases) or remind users of Wikipedia's verifiability policies. If you have any more questions or concerns, please let me know - Thanks! Epsilon.Prota ^talk 11:47, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Epsilon.Prota, regarding verifiability, I was primarily concerned about infoboxes with unsourced numbers that are then replaced by correct numbers from an unspecified source. I was afraid that you might revert this, which would be a problem (you'd restore unverifiable material *and* revert an improvement). The best approach to such situations would be removing the disputed number entirely (or finding a source, but that obviously can't be a requirement). Thus, rollback would be the wrong tool in such cases. As long as you are aware of that, all is good. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:20, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve spent the last few days patrolling the edit log and reverting vandalism manually, but now I would like to use learn to use tools like Anti-Vandal and Twinkle instead of just manually doing it myself. GiraffeLover19 (talk) 14:31, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Your antivandalism work so far has been very helpful, but I have noticed that you are not notifying users with warnings when you revert nonconstructive edits. Please make using the graduated warning templates into a habit before requesting rollback again—after which you will be a great candidate for rollback.

For the last 6 months I have been working on vandalism through recent changes and by also viewing the abuse log. I've encountered some situations that I have cleaned up that having the rollback permission would have saved a tremendous amount of time I believe that I meet all the requirements outlined to receive the permission, and by receiving the permission it would allow me to contribute to the great cause of keeping Wikipedia free from vandalism.

You can if you want. It's easy to run the numbers, just didn't have the bandwidth to do a full review. Primefac (talk) 22:47, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Few questions for you:

• Do you intend to edit LUA modules?
• Do you intend to contribute to the other associated areas (contentmodels, edit notices, etc. Basically anything other then templates build on wikitext)?
• Please review Wikipedia:High-risk templates, let us know if you have any questions about it.
• Do you understand that in general, most changes to highly used templates should be proposed and tested first - as opposed to the standard WP:BRD process? (note: it is generally acceptable to promote tests to the primary page after a reasonable time so long as there is no objection).
