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.
Good afternoon. I'm an experienced vector artist and this is my second time applying for autopatrolled [1] (my username has been changed since). As you can see in the denied request, I was too new to the platform to be granted such a role. It's been exactly two years since that first attempt and I'd like to request it again for the same reason: updating old or bad SVGs that need cleanup or have historical inaccuracies. In addition, my work has been modified and uploaded by other users in ways such as cropping (File:Flag of the Justicialist Party (square version).svg) or alternate versions (File:Flag of Fuefuki, Yamanashi (no text).svg). Without autopatrolled I can't update or fix those alternate versions by myself, which is a major inconvenience as I would be able to update the original file but not the alternate one. Thank you.

I'll have to check if that Justicialist Party flag is the same or similar to ones that have been deleted. Your edit count is still rather low, but I can keep this open for a while to let that increase organically. Abzeronow (talk) 00:11, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I have been contributing to Wikimedia Commons for more than a decade now. I have made more than 16000 edits on Commons. I have contributed in two Wiki Exploration Projects. Some of my files doesn't have GeoTags. I want AWB Rights to do mass edit my files to add GeoTags and/or rename files. I have rename rights. Thank you.

Hi, I would like to request AWB access here to help with categorization and corrections for the files I have uploaded, as well as to support the campaigns that I have organized or been part of. Having AWB access will help me carry out these tasks more efficiently. Thank you. ❙❚❚❙❙ GnOeee ❚❙❚❙❙✉17:56, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made at least 1,000 useful, non-botlike edits or a large number of justified renaming requests at Commons before they will consider granting the filemover right.
I would like to become a filemover. I've been active in adding various categories to to files in batch and I also sometimes want to add any relevant information to filenames, mainly to prefixes, so it's easier to understand what is pictured - sometimes the filename is just "- panoramio (3254543534).jpg". Hoping this would also improve search results on search engines when looking for something - like a rare place in the world, etc. Thank you. YeraC (talk) 15:03, 8 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am requesting the filemover right for my bot account, Sakib Bot. My main account MS Sakib already holds filemover rights and is an experienced contributor with over 24,000 uploads. My bot account also has over 50,000 uploads. I actively upload SVG glyphs of open-source fonts (OFL, GPL) using both accounts. Due to the high volume of uploads, I frequently encounter situations where bulk renaming is necessary to correct naming conventions or fix errors. Specific Case: Recently, I uploaded 1,000+ files to Category:Linux Libertine Mono SVG Glyphs. I inadvertently included "Monospaced" in the filenames instead of the standard "Mono".
Current Name: Latin Capital Letter Z in Linux Libertine Monospaced - U+005A.svg
Target Name: Latin Capital Letter Z in Linux Libertine Mono - U+005A.svg
Performing over 1,000 renames via my main account is inefficient and hits API rate limits quickly. I intend to use Sakib Bot to handle this bulk renaming task and similar maintenance tasks for my own uploads in the future. Using the bot account will allow for smoother processing.
@Tausheef Hassan "Mono" implies "Monospaced". However, standard font names usually just state "Mono"; though I missed this detail before uploading. For example, see this: Libertinus Mono. Filenames should be concise and understandable, rather than overly descriptive. ≈ MS Sakib 📩·📝08:06, 21 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Greetings. This right is sometimes necessary for me. I am familiar with how it works, and you can grant it to me with confidence. Honestly, I sometimes hesitate to submit a request even for a small change. Having this right would allow me to handle requests as well. Thank you for your attention. I appreciate in advance any decision you make. Sincerely, Qədir (talk) 15:43, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I was filemover years ago before becoming admin for a while, but when my admin rights where remove (for lack of activity) I also lost the filemover status. I need to rename files regularly for Wikisource or for importation of sets of pictures on Commons. Thank you! M0tty (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I have recently been active in cross-wiki anti-vandalism work. Sometimes, I follow the tracks of vandals to shared resourcesCommons and revert their edits. I currently have fairly extensive experience in cross-wiki anti-vandalism and also hold rollback rights on three wikis. I would like to obtain rollback rights here as well to facilitate my cross-wiki anti-vandalism efforts. Therefore, I am applying for rollbacker privileges and kindly ask for your consideration. Thank you. 浅村しき (talk) 17:09, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I’ve just noticed that there was one wording issue in my request, which was due to a translation problem… it has now been corrected, sorry about thatOrz...浅村しき (talk) 13:16, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
For a rough advice, 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.
