As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits, and to have been active in the last thirty days. Patrollers and License reviewers don't have to request this flag.
Hi, I'm quite an active editor on Wikipedia for electoral events and I'd need the permissions to overwrite files like Parliament composition diagrams and such that may change fairly frequently over time and are often handled by multiple users at the same time. Thank you. Fm3dici97 (talk) 14:05, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I would like to be able to upload higher resolution versions of the same image from better sources (sometimes directly extracting from PDF). I currently have 598 edits on Commons. Thank you. Johnkinslow (talk) 06:41, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’m an active user on both WP and Commons. I’d like to have permission to upload newer versions and higher resolution images. Thank you. Themanlk (talk)
Thousands of excellent edits, all in good faith as far as I noticed. Seems to understand the licensing question well and has few warnings on talk page, where shows to be friendly open to dialogue. Yacàwotçã (talk) 16:48, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am requesting AWB access to be able to more easily mass-rename and mass-update AntWeb specimens. As quite clearly shown in my contributions, I have made a large amount of repetitive edits to update ant specimen information from outdated files. I have read and understand the guidelines for proper AWB use in pages, and I will adhere to them to the best of my ability. In the near term, it appears that my sole and extensive use for this right is to mass-update ant specimen images, of which over 30,000 exist. Thank you. 2003LN606:51, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made at least 1,000 useful, non-botlike edits or a large amount of justified renaming requests at Commons before they will consider granting the filemover right.
I'm an autopatroller on WikiCommons with several meaningful contributions. My work is focused primarily on the vectorization of flags. I am an active Wikigraphist who is happy to take requests for vectorizing low-quality bitmap flags and coats of arms. As an autopatroller, I also help improve existing SVG-traced flags and files with bad vectorization in general, which often need to be renamed for harmonization purposes. Having file-moving rights would make this process easier and quicker. Thank you. Feitidede☆゚.*16:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
reason I almost exclusively create chemical structural formulas; occasionally, errors occur in the file name, or files need to be moved for better recognition. Thank you. Zyirkon (talk) 19:58, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am an experienced user (6-7 years) currently working on updating Thai traffic sign SVGs to comply with the official standards of the Department of Highways (DOH) and Department of Rural Roads (DRR). The existing files are outdated or incorrect according to official regulations. I need the rights to overwrite/update these files to ensure accuracy for Wikipedia users. Thank you. Thank you.

@أوس, unless I am missing something, I can't see any anti-vandalism work from you here on Commons. No use of undo/twinkle yet. Also having a right in some wiki doesn't solely guarantee getting rights here. Shaan SenguptaTalk17:44, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also like to see some anti-vandalism work before I'd grant this right to you. I'll take your rollbacker right on arwiki into consideration (shows that you understand the right is intended to fight vandalism). Abzeronow (talk) 00:25, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Abzeronow, @Shaan Sengupta, If you look more closely at my contributions, you'll find that I delete the content of offending user pages instead of using the regular undo button. the new redo button eliminates the need to delete the content of offending user pages; instead, I can simply click the redo button. --Aws💬 Talk08:49, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I frequently perform batch edits with Visual File Change (correct license, etc.), but I have also made mistakes that are difficult to correct with Visual File Change. Thank you. Zyirkon (talk) 17:49, 23 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I'm LightandDark2000 (or BlueHypercane761 on Commons). While I primarily operate a different account on Commons (dating back to before unified global login was a thing), this is my primary global account, and I do most of my anti-vandalism work from this account as well. I already have the temporary account IP viewer permission on en.wiki, and I also have substantial experience dealing with vandalism both here and on en.wiki, so I know how to responsibly use the right. I've had the permission on en.wiki for about a month now, and both of my accounts have Patroller on Commons as well. I'd like to have this permission on Commons to deal more effectively with cross-wiki vandals and LTAs, particularly those with a history of IP socking. Thanks.

My accounts are already linked (on my user page, for my Commons account). I don't use a user page for my global account on Commons, since most of my non-Antivandal activity is done through my Commons account. LightandDark2000 (talk) 11:26, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
For a rough advise, do not seek this flag if you have not made about 500 useful edits on Wikimedia Commons unless you associate with any Wikimedia affiliate, or campaigns such as Wiki Loves Earth.
