    Requests for permissions
    Shortcuts

    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:

    Review and removal of permissions

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    User:Kjansen86

    I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoreviewer" user right. — MusikBot talk 21:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @LEvalyn: I went ahead and adjusted the nomination so it reflects who's actually being discussed, hope you don't mind! For future reference, you can use the "add request" link at the top of this page and replace the {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} with whichever user you're nominating. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Hteiktinhein

    Hello, I have created over 30 articles, none of which have been deleted. I am well-versed in Wikipedia's notability guidelines and currently assist new Burmese editors. I focus on creating articles related to Myanmar that need to be written, including those covering current events. Granting me autopatrolled rights would help reduce the backlog of articles awaiting review. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions. Thank you for your consideration. Hteiktinhein (talk) 14:43, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) At the pace this editor is creating, I would expect granting the flag to help reduce the backlog. These are solid articles; talk pages are created, which helps as well. I am AGF'ing on the Burmese language sources but have no concerns. @Hteiktinhein, a couple nits: on Padein Prince rebellion, the section of "Members" with an unexplained bulleted list is a bit confusing, and on Thetpan Mibaya, the "see also" section should go above the references section per MOS:LAYOUT. But these are just small things to keep in mind for the future. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dclemens1971 Thank you very much for your kind comment on my contributions. I plan to continue creating more content related to Burmese history, especially topics that are still missing from the English Wikipedia.
    Although access to Wikipedia has been banned in Myanmar across all language versions, I am able to contribute using the ipblock-exempt right.
    Please don't worry about the Burmese-language sources — I have substantial knowledge of Burmese history, particularly the Konbaung era, and I have access to both online and offline versions of the Konbaung Chronicle and other historical texts. I appreciate your helpful notes regarding some minor issues in my articles, such as the structuring of See also sections and now fixed, and I'll certainly keep them in mind going forward. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 16:50, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello, may I ask what the issue is? There doesn’t seem to be any problem on my side, and all the other users who applied at the same time have already been granted the rights. Why am I the only one delayed? Hteiktinhein (talk) 03:04, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello @Hteiktinhein, I would like to know why you believe [1] is reliable? The website does not scream 'journalistic rigour' to me, but might be a subject-matter expert? More concerning, it seems some of the paragraphs in Areindama do not have citations. Could you commit to using inline citations for each paragraph?
    In terms of why it takes a while: some admins look at all the requests here, whereas others might only have a bit of time and look for requests in topic areas they're more familiar with, to quickly make a decision. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 19:36, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Femke 🐦, Thank you for your question. Of course, မြန်မာသံတော်ဆင့် (The Myanmar Herald) was a well-known and one of the oldest daily newspapers in Myanmar. I admit that some Myanmar newspapers have poor-quality digital publishing, which is partly due to the country being a developing nation.
    I understand that the website for The Myanmar Herald (https://myanmartandawsint.wordpress.com/) has a poor design and uses a free domain like WordPress. While the site has not been updated in a long time, it is still accessible. I'd also like to refer to this Myanmar Now article ([2]) for more details about the newspaper’s history and its legacy. However, I believe that using a free domain or having a simple web design does not mean the newspaper itself is not notable or reliable. We should not judge the reliability of a publication solely based on its web domain or appearance. So I don’t think that’s a valid concern.
    As for your other question — “It seems some of the paragraphs in the Areindama article do not have citations” — that's correct. I didn’t include citations in certain paragraphs:
    The introduction, because it is a summary.
    The quote paragraphs, because I didn’t want to insert citation tags (like [ ]) directly beside quotes. Instead, I placed a colon (":") above the quote to indicate the source was referenced in the sentence above.
    The analysis paragraph, because it is a general analysis based on facts already cited earlier in the article.
    If you’d like to verify anything, please feel free to ask other respected Burmese editors such as User:Htanaungg or User:EmeraldRange.
    Thanks again. Hteiktinhein (talk) 04:55, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Happy with the Herald. About the uncited paragraphs, those analysis paragraphs do need a citation to prevent the impression of WP:SYNTH. When you say it's analysis based on facts cited before: is that your analysis or one of the cited sources? Why not cite these sources? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 06:44, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Femke Thank you for your appreciation of my answer. Regarding the reference for the analysis section, please see Tin Naing Toe (2013), သမိုင်းအတွေး သမိုင်းအရေး, Lin Lun Khine, pp. 34–41, which was already cited in the origin section. According to the first half of page 41, historian Tin Naing Toe discusses the origin of the spear and argues that it is based on legend rather than historical fact. I believed that citing it in the origin section would suffice and unintentionally left it out of the analysis paragraph. I’ve now added it there as well, along with an additional reference for support.
    If you have any questions about my work, please feel free to ask. Thank you! Hteiktinhein (talk) 09:44, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Done for three months. Feel free to request indefinite AP a few weeks before the expiry. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 12:47, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:MerlinVtwelve

    Hallo! I've created 46 articles, and have been editing Wikipedia since 2010. How time flies! merlinVtwelve (talk) 20:52, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Reviewed the last several articles, and while your grasp of notability is strong, I did find an instance of WP:CLOP on your most recent creation that is very close to the line of copyvio if not over it. See Copyvio Detector results. This article is otherwise very well done! Two other things to consider when creating articles: create talk pages (the WP:RATER tool is helpful here) and make sure at least one other page links to yours. If you were to be autopatrolled, orphaned pages would likely stay orphaned longer. Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:19, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Dclemens1971thanks for the review!. I'll revisit those sections and re-word them. Will keep an eye on WP:CLOP and linked pages in future. Will check out WP:RATER also. Cheers, merlinVtwelve (talk) 06:03, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done. I believe you would still benefit from NPPers checking your work. Dianaaa noticed copyright issues a few years back as well, and the issues with the deleted White Lotus Conglomerate also lead me to believe another pair of eyes would be useful. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 13:18, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:BullDawg2021

    Hello, I have started 300+ pages and have been editing for over three and a half years consistently.

    Some of your given name and surname pages lack citations for the origins/meanings of the names. For example, the first sentence of Cencio has substantive information that requires a reference. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Requesting the AWB to perform repetitive tasks. I will mainly use it for adding categories to AFd debates, fixing grammatical error, fixing abuse of tags. Thanks for considering my request. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 07:33, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Fade258

    Hi. I intend to use AWB to assist with repetitive but useful maintenance tasks such as fixing common formatting issues, updating templates, correcting typos, and performing category cleanups. Similarly, I have also reviewed the guidelines and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia policies. I am also familiar with Wikipedia editing conventions and have made constructive edits. Thank you for considering my request and I hope for positive response. Fade258 (talk) 13:24, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    You've requested three different permissions in a week. That looks a lot like WP:Hat collecting. Do you really expect to use all of these? * Pppery * it has begun... 21:45, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Pppery, Well, You're right to ask. I understand concerns about hat collecting. I had requested these permissions because I have specific or immediate plans to use each permission that I have in more frequently, policy based and in constructive manner. If you'd like, I can explain how I intend to apply each permission in current areas where I'm active. I'm not interested in collecting rights for my own sake only as I intend to help where there's a clear need. Thank You for reviewing my request. Fade258 (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Please provide a specific example of a series of edits you would make using AWB if you had rights (doesn't need to be especially large, think ~5 pages). I looked through your contributions and didn't see any such series. * Pppery * it has begun... 19:16, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If I got the permission to use AWB then initially, I would like to fix clean-up, formatting, Link fixing and typo fixing. As you asked above in your reply, below is the list of some articles that I intend to run AWB.
    Hope this list finds you well. Thank You! Fade258 (talk) 03:52, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is still on the vague side. Make those specific clean-up edits manually and provide a diff of that. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I have made edits manually and provided a diff below. These all edits are related to typos and grammatical correction. Please have a look.

    Those don't look like the sort of changes AWB can be used to make. AWB does have a regex-based typo fixing tool, but those aren't the sort of typos it fixes but instead grammar changes requiring human judgement. And one of them is done with another script, which makes even less sense to showcase as something you would use AWB to do. That, and the fact that you only used rollback twice shortly after I granted it too weeks ago and never again, has finally failed to convince me you are qualified for AWB:  Not done * Pppery * it has begun... 18:56, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to kindly request confirmed user status. I am currently interning for the EU-Japan Centre and am contributing to the article about the organisation.

    User:President Loki

    A while back, I lost extended-confirmed rights after some of my edits were considered WP:GAMING, and my 500-edit count was ruled invalid. I understand the decision made at the time, and since then, I've focused on making constructive, good-faith contributions. By my count, I've now passed 500 valid edits (excluding the previous ones in question).

    I'm submitting this request because I believe I now meet the requirements and would like to regain extended-confirmed rights to continue contributing more effectively.

    Thank you. President Loki (talk) 23:23, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done There's not really an objective criteria by which EC is regranted after being revoked. Because it's not feasible to calculate which edits at the point of revocation were the result of alleged gaming and which were not, it would be easiest to simply assume all pre-revocation edits were allegedly gamed and all post-revocation edits were legitimate. Ergo, I feel safe in declining this request but I also feel safe in suggesting it can be regranted without much issue once the edit count reaches 1099 (599, the point at which the previous report was filed + 500), the 30-days threshold having already been met. Chetsford (talk) 01:28, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chetsford I understand your point, however I believe it is extremely simple to determine the gaming edits. They began here and ended here, taking place over the span of about 4 days, and constituting about 380 edits. They did not occur before or after this time frame. The entirety of the edits was adding links for genus as well as Monotypic taxon to animal genus articles. As such, I think it is fairly easy to sort out those edits, which if you look at the discussions pertaining to the removal of my rights in the first place, those are in fact the edits in question. President Loki (talk) 01:44, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    1099 will be here before you know it Chetsford (talk) 01:51, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chetsford
    Understood—and I do appreciate your engagement on this.
    Notwithstanding though, I’d like to respectfully ask you to please reconsider. I’ve worked hard to make constructive, good-faith contributions since the revocation, and I believe I’ve shown that the specific batch of edits in question—the 380 or so over four days—can be clearly identified and excluded.
    While I recognize there's no fixed policy for reinstatement, I hope that the clarity of the situation and the nature of my post-revocation edits might warrant a second look. I’d really like to continue contributing more effectively, and I appreciate your consideration. Thank you. President Loki (talk) 02:03, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Done for 90 days. After 90 days you'll have to file a new request here, at which time it will be permanently readded. Chetsford (talk) 02:07, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks so much for reconsidering and taking the time to review my request. I really appreciate it.
    I will re-request in 90 days, per your instructions. President Loki (talk) 02:11, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, I would like to request New Page Reviewer rights. I have some experience as an Articles for Creation (AfC) reviewer and have gained a good understanding of Wikipedia’s notability, sourcing, and content policies. I’m interested in helping reduce the backlog by reviewing new pages, and I’m familiar with guidelines such as WP:NPP, WP:CSD, WP:N, and WP:BLP. I aim to contribute constructively on Wikipedia. Thank you Endrabcwizart (talk) 16:30, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. In reviewing your track record thus far, however, I'm a bit concerned by both a very low AfD match rate, and the final exchange between you and Alalch E. in this AfD. A lot of the material in question is old enough that this isn't necessarily a dealbreaker, but the recent comment at AfD (even if it is about an article you created much earlier), coupled with the lack of more recent evidence of a strong record in AfD and/or article creation, I ultimately have to mark this as  Not done. Please consider reapplying once you've built up a more recent track record of constructive AfD participation (or other edits that demonstrate a clear understanding of the relevant guidelines and policies). signed, Rosguill talk 20:02, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have independently created 14 new articles and contributed to the improvement of several others by polishing clarity, tone, and adherence to Wikipedia's core content policies. I am familiar with the principles of notability, verifiability, reliable sourcing, and neutral point of view, and I strive to uphold these standards in all my contributions.

    User:Afstromen

    Hi, I’d like to request New Page Patroller rights. I’ve created 24 articles, all of which meet Wikipedia’s notability guidelines, and I have a solid understanding of notability across a range of topics. I was recently granted AfC reviewer rights and have begun actively reviewing drafts. While my reviews aren’t high in quantity yet, I believe they reflect careful, quality work aligned with Wikipedia policies. I also participate in AfD discussions and have experience in both deletions and retentions based on consensus and policy. Additionally, I’ve improved a number of unsourced articles by adding reliable citations. I’d like to disclose that, if granted NPP rights, I will primarily focus on India-related topics, as I have strong familiarity with reliable Indian sources and local context. I believe it’s best to patrol within areas where I can apply sound judgment and avoid risky decisions. I’m open to feedback or a trial period. Thank you. Afstromen (talk) 12:49, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Recreating Spinny (company) despite Spinny being salted seems like something that should be a total deal-breaker here. But I don't normally get involved in this area so will let another admin make a final decision. * Pppery * it has begun... 14:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pppery, I’ve posted a note on the talk page of Spinny (company) to clarify my intention. I genuinely believe the subject is notable, based on significant coverage in reliable, independent sources.
    To be honest, I wasn’t aware that when a title is protected, there are specific procedures to follow before recreating the article. As soon as I realized the situation, I added a note on the talk page to be transparent and open to community input.
    I’d appreciate any guidance on what the appropriate process is in such cases especially when a title has been salted. My goal is to contribute constructively and in line with Wikipedia’s policies
    Afstromen (talk) 15:13, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Frankly, this isn't convincing. The mindset that one sees that one is prohibited from doing something, and then tries to do it anyway through the back door is not the mindset we want to have in new page reviewers. It gives the appearance of being holier-than-thou. * Pppery * it has begun... 15:16, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I shared my intentions honestly, and I truly didn’t realize that what I did was against the guidelines. If this has caused any concern about trust, I understand, but I want to make it clear that it wasn’t intentional. I know how important it is that all contributions follow policy and are made in good faith. I respect your decision and will be more careful in the future.
    Afstromen (talk) 16:03, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    In the future, the WP:SALTing needs to be removed (via asking the protecting admin on their user talk, or via WP:RFUP) rather than putting an article at a non-ideal title. The title is non ideal because "(company)" is an unnecessary disambiguator in this case. Disambiguators should only be used if there are multiple articles with the same name. –Novem Linguae (talk) 04:52, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I’ll make sure to be more careful about this in the future. Thank you for pointing it out.

    Hello,
    Requesting New Page Patroller permissions. I have over a decade of activity on Wikipedia, with 4,400+ live edits (99.4% of my edits are "live"). I have created three (proper) articles. I became more active in the last 1-2 years. I believe I meet and exceed the minimum criteria.

    That said, my weakest areas would probably be CSD and PROD. However, I am familiar with both, I've just had my hands full with AfC reviews and AfD contributions. I otherwise have relatively extensive discussion experience with no disciplinary action taken against me. Thank you for your time and consideration. MWFwiki (talk) 20:28, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I've found myself making semi-regular requests at WP:RM/TR (7 in the last two years, 13 overall). I feel like this is one of the things I could just handle myself instead of bothering others with, and could potentially help out with as I see fit. I don't currently plan on closing any RM discussions, but I am very familiar with WP:NCTV, which is my main topic area, that I rarely branch out out of, and the general policy laid out at WP:NC.

    User:ExplorerofSpace

    I am requesting this right so that I can more easily revert vandalism. If you have looked at my user page, one of the main things I do is revert vandalism. This right, while not making it easier to do so, would give me a different way to do so. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. My account is pretty new, but that is because I just got back into editing Wikipedia. I had an account when I lived in Chicago that had over a year experience. I could not longer access that account because I have forgotten the username and password. Again, I think this would be a good opportunity for me to do something I love in a different way.

    I want to have this permission to reduce the pending changes backlog. I reviewed all the guidelines, such as BLP and the guideline for referencing. I revert good faiths and obvious vandalism and warn the user right after. Although I cannot perform a rollback to the recent changes page to have a consecutive track record due to my device's limited capabilities. I would rather choose pending changes over rollback; with rollback, I must have track records of mass rollback vandalism. But since I understood the guideline of rollback and pending changes, I can assure you that I will be responsible for having this permission. — ArćRèv • talk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
