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-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.
• 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, 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.

I've been editing for nearly 20 years and created thousands of articles, and this makes it easier for other editors by marking the pages as patrolled by me (so they don't show up on the unpatrolled list). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:29, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Only because it was part of the admin package. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:33, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

 Not done. Keeping it brief to avoid unnecessary drama: this right is generally not given to paid editors. – Joe (talk) 17:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: That's a load of crap. Regardless of the FoF, I have never been paid to edit anything on Wikipedia. There's no possible evidence of that that could exist as it's never happened. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:40, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

The arbitration decision says otherwise. We can't just ignore it. – Joe (talk) 17:48, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Joe Roe: The decisions claims I made three paid edits, out of over 123,000 total edits. There is no article (nor has there ever been an article) for the company for whom it is claimed I made paid edits, and I have never planned (nor do I have plans) to make an article for that company. How they claim to have come to the conclusion that I made paid edits is a mystery as they refuse to share this alleged evidence, especially since there can't be any evidence of paid editing since I've never been paid by that company or anyone representing them. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: What's the strong need in this situation? The concerns are obvious and clear based on the recent drama, and, based on the outcome of recent events, it makes sense to decline the request. Your pages will be reviewed by a member of the new pages patrol team at their earliest convenience. This perm is mostly to reduce the load on them, which is nothing to get upset about. Hey man im josh (talk) 11:54, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: I disagree. I'm being refused a permission that's generally easy to receive based on a decision made based on alleged evidence ArbCom refuses to disclose to me. I can't imagine what there is to get upset about. </sarc>

Regardless, go ahead and cancel this request. I have better things to do with my time. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:42, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: There's nothing to cancel, the request was declined by Joe Roe already. Additionally, based on your recent creations, it doesn't appear that granting you AP would be really doing much to reduce the backlog. I can't imagine what there is to get upset about. – I guess waiting for your articles to be indexed by Google is a terrible plight to deal with, but luckily the perm doesn't affect your ability to contribute or operate on the site in any way. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:45, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: Stop being an ass. I don't think I've ever tried Googling an article I worked on here. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:03, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: Seems like you're the one being the ass here. In case you're unaware, having your articles indexed by search engines is essentially the only benefit of the autopatrolled user right, which is why I mentioned it, not because of some accusation you're assuming I'm making. See Wikipedia:Autopatrolled#Function for further information. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: It felt like a continuation of the false "you're a paid editor" thing. If that's not what it was, then I apologize. I'd forgotten that was part of the autopatrolled features. I haven't had to pay much attention to that since my edits have been autopatrolled since 2005 or 2006 (or whenever it became a thing). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:11, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe: I did not intend to be any type of accusation or dig and I could have been more careful about my wording to avoid the insinuation. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:12, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

@Hey man im josh: Then, as I wrote, I apologize. It's been a very stressful and frustrating few weeks. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Requesting a trial period of a month or less (dealer's choice) to address the backlog. I was previously granted this permission last summer but resigned them after a request to do so stemming from my repeated draftification of articles on potentially notable subjects that were created by disruptive editors (a more detailed accounting of that can be found in the discussion that took place on my talk page). Essentially, I wouldn't do that again, instead following the current NPP best-practices of leaning on more procedural alternatives like PROD, AfD, and improvement tags. I have a good amount of experience in AfC, have participated in a decent number of AfDs, and have a strong track record with my own article creations. I can provide additional context or affirmations of understanding of the current NPP standards as requested. I would prefer a trial period of at least two week so that my use of the permission can be observed and critiqued with enough examples. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:47, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

After hearing that there will be a new backlog drive in May, I would like to reduce the very high backlog drive. Although I am theoretically ineligible until June (I've had a 3mo partial block), the pblock is too unrelated to content editing, deletion processes and AfC, and my behavior has changed since then. If the pblock is still a red flag, please let me know. Thanks for considering my application. Toadette ^{(Let's talk together!)} 07:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

I've got some experience at AfD, both participating and nominating. I have also written one article which was approved at AfC and got C-rated. I also have relevant experience in anti-vandalism, which shows I always try to be friendly to newcomers and I am always open to being corrected. I'd obviously be happy to have it granted on a trial basis. Jtrrs0 (talk) 17:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

@Jtrrs0: Thank you for volunteering, but I'd like to see a bit more prior experience in relevant areas. When we refer to AfC, it's reviewing AfC submissions that we're looking for – though a record in article creation is also relevant. You're off to a good start at AfD but when I look at this recent nomination, for example, you appear to have overlooked WP:NEXIST. That's a common enough mistake but it's the kind of thing we'd really like to be sure people have squared away before they start reviewing new articles with less supervision.  Not done for now, sorry. – Joe (talk) 07:01, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I have made many constructive edits to Wikipedia, and have a decent amount of experience in Articles for Creation, and I have approved AfC reviewer for nearly 1 year. I have had no controversy thus far while working in this area. I mainly want to focus on patrolling the backlog of redirects, but occasionally I would also review articles. I also know my limits, and only work in the areas I am confident in, or I seek help. I am big on assuming the good faith of editors and pointing them in the right direction if their efforts are misguided, as I often do at AfC. aaronneallucas (talk) 04:40, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm nearing the end of my trial period just as the May backlog begins and I'd like to keep my permissions to participate. I've been intermittently active with new page patrol and I think my page curation log should show fairly uncontroversial activity and AfDs with consensus for my proposals. Reviewing the log myself there are two articles I marked as reviewed but were later deleted, but both appear to have been deleted for G5 (created by banned user) and not for notability or other content reasons.

On 13 December 2023 I was granted a 3-month new page reviewer rights trial, which expired on 12 March 2024. I reviewed 5 new articles in 2023, and 8 new articles in 2024. My habit is to spend a lot of time on each article, helping to expand them sometimes, and helping to bring some of them to DYK - which is why I did not attempt to achieve high numbers of new page article reviews.

Being overloaded with WP research (some for my local Civic Society, which wanted WP articles on several historical subjects - all for free of course) I have had to miss out on new page reviews for a while. I was also needed to help with the recent DYK review backlog. But I would like to get back to it. So if you think that I have been useful so far, please would you kindly extend or confirm my new page reviewer rights? I have added my name to the May 2024 new page review list, but would like confirmation that I am still a valid member of this working group. Thank you.

Hello! In December of 2023 I applied for New Page Reviewer Rights and given a 1 month trial period then again in January of 2024 I was granted 3 months. I am here today to apply for permanent rights. Over the last 90 days I have reviewed 370 articles. A short background on myself I've been on Wikipedia for over eight years and have created 47 active article on EN Wikipedia.

Hi, I'd like to help with the backlog, I enjoy doing maintenance tasks like WP:CAT and WP:ORPHAN and I've submitted AfDs for articles I've come across in this process:

• example 2

as well as taking part in more contentious deletions. Obviously still learning but have experience of quite a few different outcomes now such as redirect, merge and transwiki options. Orange sticker (talk) 11:33, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Black Kite, I seem to recall (and pppery can I believe back me up on this) that it is generally frowned upon to use Global Renamer rights on enWiki for generic page moving; I genuinely cannot remember the user but there was a GR a couple of years back who had to get PGM because of this. That being said, I just checked the last two years of move logs and see nothing that indicates article-space moves that would require PGM, so the GR tools are likely sufficient here for user-renaming-related moves.

I am requesting this right for the following reasons:

1. ) To perform non-controversial page moves
2. ) To undo incorrect/non-discussed controversial page moves
3. ) To help move discussed moves
4. ) To be able to move my sandboxes into articles when they are ready (as some are currently redirects)
5. ) To assist with moving categories
6. ) To help others with moving pages

I have participated in various requested moves and I have performed some myself in order to acquire to naming conventions (both within pages in the main space and from my sandboxes to the main space), and I have also started a few move discussions too. I know about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, including naming conventions, and I often take part in AFD and other discussions, and I also have created articles and categories. I am happy to answer any questions or do a trial run. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 13:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

 Not done for now, as I do not really see a large need for this permission. You have barely a dozen article-space moves in the last two years, and while you do have a reasonable amount of RM participation I don't see much in the way of closing those moves (which you do not need this perm for doing). In other words, you say you want to continue doing a half-dozen different things, but I don't really see any evidence of you doing them now. Primefac (talk) 11:42, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: Regarding #5 and #2, these are not possible without the permission - there have been many examples of me wanting to move pages and categories to meet the naming conventions but I have been unable to as I do not have the permission. The same is also true for the others - for example, yesterday I wanted to move John McBain (character) to John McBain (One Life to Live) to meet the correct naming conventions, but I am unable to do so as a redirect for the latter already exists. Regarding #4, there is a lot standing in the way of me moving multiple pages from sandboxes to the main space if the redirects already exist. Yes, it is possible to ask admins to delete the redirects or move the pages, but this often takes a while and adds more work to me and the admins and that is partially why I was requesting it. Regarding closing the moves, I have actually never had the chance to as they have nearly always been closed by other editors beforehand (and also, I have been told by other editors that it is discouraged to close moves which you comment on). Had I had the permission, the amount of articles I would have moved in the past 2 years would be much higher (both my own articles and others, including undoing undiscussed/controversial moves). Hence, that is why I suggested a trial run in order to illustrate my need for the permission and how I would do it correctly. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:50, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

I'm not going to go point-by-point through your arguments, but generally speaking we don't grant this permission because someone might find it useful, we grant it because they have demonstrated that they have been going through the proper (non-perm'd) channels and it's getting to be tiresome for them. So far you have said that it would be nice to be able to do all of these things, but as of right now you do not appear to be doing all of these things.

As a minor note about "moving sandboxes" - if there's a redirect, just edit the page and overwrite it. Unless there were multiple editors editing your sandbox, there is no reason to move the entire page. Primefac (talk) 16:55, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights Hi!

Mainly want them so that I can use a lot of the anti-vandalism tools, many of which are unusable/much more annoying without rollback. Also a few instances where in actual rollback would be helpful. I have done a lot of anti-vandalism work. I had 5 reverts at the very beginning that were problematic (my thinking is explained at my talk page), but I think I've gotten more aware of the policies and there has only been one other issue with my reverts since, which was caused mostly by the fact that I didn't realize there was an ongoing edit war, just saw an edit summary of "." removing content, and reverted.

I have read Wikipedia:Rollback and understood it. I know what is intentional disruptive editing/vandalism, and a good faith mistake. For example, a typo is usually an honset mistake, and blanking a page is usually intentional, particularly if done repeatedly.

Done a lot of anti vandalism work. I have like 140 edit to the user talk space, vast majority of which are warning for bad edits. Searching "revert" brings up 120 results in my contributions, the vast majority of which are me reverting vandalism.

Thank you and have a nice day! Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 21:15, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

2. I have been patrolling recent changes for a month+.
3. I have not edit warred recently (frankly, I don't remember edit warring at all since I got this account)
4. I consistently notify editors when I revert their edits which appear to be vandalism, and where there would be an obvious need to do so.

I'm curious why you felt it was appropriate to add yourself to add yourself as a CVUA trainer when you clearly lack the necessary experience (and then respond very defensively when Cassiopeia correctly called you out for it). There's also a lot of recent warnings/complaints on your talk page concerning basic understanding of our policies/guidelines.

I didn't think there was an edit count associated with it.

About the threads on my talk page on your permalink:

1. WP:MAINPAGE was for April Fools.
2. Ok, I agree that my CSD nominations are a hit or miss. I thought the Mama Lion wasn't very notable due to 3-4 sources. I will note that PROD/AFD is the way to go next time.
3. About the CSD for the Gen Beta page, I reached an understanding by talking (politely) with other edits on whether G4 would apply. I told them that a comment was made during the AFD saying we could use G4 to create recreations, and after another admin told me to keep the page, I didn't re-tag it.
4. About my signature: When pigsonthewing inquired about my signature, I was simply waiting for a third opinion. I agreed to change my signature after I had heard from a third opinion. And when Yamla asked me to remove the background from my signature, I complied.
5. About CVUA: I didn't mean to sound defensive. I just was trying to understand. And in this diff I complied after the user explained to me. I did not re-add my name.
6. About the signature of Nate: I read that you cannot have a name that is not similar to your username, which is why I brought it up elsewhere. I'm sorry if I sounded rude, but I've had a long day today and can't bother having any more problems. Maybe I'll take a wikibreak if need be.

I've been patrolling Recent Changes for around a month or so, reverting any vandalism I come across, while also warning/notifying other users about their edits and why it was reverted. Having rollback would allow me to use AntiVandal, which is quite faster in reverting vandalism than RedWarn(the script I am using currently), while also allow quickly rollback edits without having to add a reason. That helps me deal with the edit and move onto other vandalism on the RC list. Some more info that you may want is that I have no warnings, no instances of edit-warring, joined 3/12/2024, which was around 36 days ago, and a near, if not perfect, track record in notifying users.
