Are you here to comment on another editor's request?Requests for permissions is intended for editors requesting a permission for their own account. Since only administrators can effectively respond to these requests, general remarks from other users are rarely helpful. If you have specific information that is relevant to a request, please feel free to comment.
A limited exception to this is Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled, where third party nominations are encouraged.
Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Template editor before making a request. You may wish to check if you meet the guidelines for granting. Additionally, you should demonstrate a need for the right and familiarity with the care and responsibility of editing high-risk templates. To make a request, please follow the instructions below:- Fill in the form below, replacing "Reason for requesting template editor rights" with a brief reason for requesting the right. Do not make any other changes. Do not sign the request – your signature will be added automatically.
- If you do not see the form, go back to the page, and click "add request".
- Please wait for your request to be approved or denied, checking back periodically so you can respond to any queries.
- If you would like to withdraw your request, use the {{withdrawn}} template with
::{{withdrawn}} ~~~~
Requests that do not meet the above criteria will be delayed or removed.Sorry, please be aware that unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.
Administrator instructionsSee Wikipedia:Template editor#Guidelines for granting.
Administrators use their own discretionary assessment of an editor's template contribution value, as well as the following general guidelines:
- The editor should be a registered Wikipedia user who has been editing for at least 1 year.
- The editor should have made at least 1,000 overall edits.
- The editor should have made at least 150 total edits to the Template and Module namespaces.
- The editor should have no behavioral blocks (including partial blocks) or 3RR violations for a span of 6 months prior to applying.
Additionally, an editor should have demonstrated a need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required when dealing with high-risk template modification:
- The editor should have worked on the sandbox version of at least three template-protected templates or modules.
- The editor should have requested and had successfully enacted at least five significant edits to template-protected templates or modules.
The above items are merely guidelines. An administrator may choose to substitute other proofs of an editor's competence in handling high-risk template responsibilities.
After giving out this user right, you may then wish to use the {{template editor granted}} template on the user's talk page.
