    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:

    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

    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.

    Current requests

    Account creator


    Autopatrolled

    Hello, I have started 300+ pages and have been editing for over three and a half years consistently. Early on, I struggled with notability, but I have since demonstrated an understanding for the notability guidelines. I would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks, Bulldawg (talk) 06:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have created a large number of articles, all without any significant issues. Another user proposed on my talk page that I request to be Autopatrolled. Throughthemind (talk) 15:10, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Been around for 10 years. A new page reviewer (see here) encouraged me to request the autopatrolled rights over my page and redirect creation record. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 22:42, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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]
    Added refs for Cencio. I’ll be more careful about sourcing info in lists. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 20:57, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I came across this user in New Page Review. They are a prolific translator (with attribution!) of es-wiki pages on notable topics. Creates talk pages and problem-free articles. 76 mainspace articles created with no deletions. With JohnMizuki continuing to create new pages, granting the autopatrolled flag would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed articles. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]


    AutoWikiBrowser


    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]

    Hello, I'm doing a lot of repetitive edits on articles, fixing typos, improving grammar and adding consistent info across pages, so I need AutoWikiBrowser to make the process smoother. I especially need it for pages related to railway stations and Chak villages, where I've been working on adding almost same information. - PunjabiEditor69 (talk) 17:38, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Confirmed

    I want to publish articles related to Biography, social matters, religious matters, Health, Law and education.

    The articles are of use to people for enhancing their knowledge on current affairs, social services, Health, Religion which require immediate publishing and searchable by the people through search engines. Farmaan Hasan Khan (talk) 14:33, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoconfirmed" user right. MusikBot talk 14:40, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like the confirmed user right as I already have it on my main account User:ExplorerofSpace and would like it on here as well. This account was created to prevent impersonation. ExplorerofUniverse (talk) 21:00, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Extended confirmed

    I have lost access to my original accounts, User:Linkin Prankster and User:Roman Reigns Fanboy. Wikimedia asked me to enter a verification code it sent to my account yesterday, something it never did before. Unfortunately I don't remember the email addresses I used to register those accounts and now I'm unable to recover them

    I talked to admins at WP:AN#Lost access to all my account and they suggested that I try requesting extended confirmed rights here. I request that you grant me the permission so I can go back to editing articles requiring EC level permissions I could normally, instead of having to wait a month for it.

    Thank you. Supreme Rankling (talk) 07:02, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Supreme Rankling -- This is a relatively low-risk right to extend to a single user, as its utility is primarily in mass application. Ergo, I have no problem granting this to your new account on an accelerated basis with only minor precaution.
    • Once you're WP:Autoconfirmed, which will occur about June 2, please ping me in this thread. Assuming neither of the aforementioned accounts have edited by that point (and assuming neither have replied to the emails I'll send them), I'll then grant you Extended Confirmed for 45 days which will be long enough for you to naturally reacquire the right at your previous editing cadence.
    • This account (Supreme Ranking) will be indefinitely blocked if either User:Linkin Prankster or User:Roman Reigns Fanboy become active during that period so please take care to ensure you have completely abandoned those accounts and don't have any autosaved passwords on your device(s).
    Thanks, in advance, for your patience.Chetsford (talk) 09:24, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I mostly edit articles with EC-level ranking. Especially Israel-Palestine conflict related. I have no problem in other accounts being blocked User:Chetsford. Supreme Rankling (talk) 11:59, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, to clarify, I mean if Linkin Prankster or Roman Reigns Fanboy come online we'll have to block Supreme Rankling (not Linkin Prankster or Roman Reigns). So just make sure you don't have any autofill passwords for either of those accounts on your devices. In any case, please ping me on or after June 2 and I'll add EC to your account as per above. Chetsford (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks. I contacted Wikimedia but they told me they can't help me recover my account. I have no way to regain access. Supreme Rankling (talk) 15:31, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, I understand that. So just ping me on or after June 2 and we'll go from there. Chetsford (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Chetsford: just curious - why are you planning to do a temporary grant? Are you planning to review before re-granting permanently? stwalkerster (talk) 16:14, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    A cursory review. I just want to make sure the account doesn't become a sleeper after getting EC. Chetsford (talk) 16:38, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sounds good - it initially sounded like you were going to do a temporary grant then allow the automatic grant to occur (which wouldn't actually work due to how EC is configured). Seems like you have a plan though :) stwalkerster (talk) 17:00, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, that was me - I probably didn't word it very coherently! Chetsford (talk) 17:07, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    File mover

    I see a lot of typos in filenames and when fixing typos I normally skip them when they are in filenames. I don't expect to use it for anything but simple typofixes. See here. Thanks, Polygnotus (talk) 00:30, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    New page reviewer

    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]

    Recently beside to anti-vandalism, I have also been interested in resolving the page backlog. Looking at the huge backlog of new pages, I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute and help alleviate the backlog. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ (Talk) 15:27, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to request permanent NPR rights. My trial is due on 31st May and started back in late December 2024. I would love to continue contributing in this space and help reduce the ever-growing backlog. I believe my quality of reviewing has improved since the last trial. Thanks! ~/Bunnypranav:<ping> 11:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights:

    To expand my tool belt as an extended confirmed recent changes patroller, and to more quickly afford new users their non policy breaking contribution. I have currently no sanctions against me and I think I understand wiki policy well enough for it. Thank you JamesEMonroe (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (Post edit) When using this perm, I will take extra care. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. Also please consider older reverts as well or when I took the time to explain things to new users. JamesEMonroe (talk) 21:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi JamesEMonroe! I am not formally granting this permission (nor am I denying it), but I do think you should cut back a bit on the WP:STICKYDECO stuff on your userpage. While I have added the applicable CSS class to make the gadget function, many newbies—who frequently will have complaints when you revert their edits—will be unaware of the ability to tick the box to disable them, and they can be highly annoying/distracting/problematic for editors with sensory issues.

    I wouldn't object if another admin chooses to grant the permission, but I wouldn't personally feel comfortable assigning newbie-interaction-heavy advanced permissions with the current amount of sticky decorations. Best regards, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, Thank you! As you saw, I tried to add the collapsible boxes as a way for people to disable them (like the "clutter clear ->") as collapsing it would disable the code within. I was planning on making some changes actually, such as rearranging things and improving accessibility a bit, while always importantly keeping the talk page free from anything as it is. I hope it didn't appear unprofessional on me or too annoying.
    But I see what you mean as some newer people might not see the boxes. and ill see what I could do. JamesEMonroe (talk) 04:15, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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. Whatever your decision is, thank you for considering. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 20:12, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please check for current account age. Last time I checked, it was 22 days. Also, has this permission request page been reviewed by admins? ExplorerofSpace (talk) 13:05, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello all, I was wondering if any administrators have reviewed this user right request page. Thanks for any help. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 21:04, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done. Your current account is still relatively new, so I would give it a bit more time (without knowing your previous username, I have no way of evaluating your previous experience). I reviewed some of your recent reverts, and I noticed that you have a tendency to revert edits for the reason "unexplained content removal" in cases where the editor did provide a reason for the content removal in the edit summary [4][5], or where it is clearly removing poorly sourced or inappropriate content [6][7]. Please edit more carefully, and you may request this permission again when you have more experience. Mz7 (talk) 02:12, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ok, thanks for the recommendations. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 12:24, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I am requesting pending changes reviewer rights so I can make good meaningful changes for Wikipedia on behalf of anonymous editors because they are the majority of editors and deserve a non-vandalism say in Wiki editing too. WikiEditor5678910 (talk) 13:43, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment)Hi, WikiEditor5678910! The pcr permission doesn't mean that you are actually making edits on behalf of the IP editors. Using this permission you can accept revisions or revert them. You make edits on their behalf when they request it. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs 06:28, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done. Your account does not have that many substantive edits to articles yet, so I don't think you've established the track record we need to grant you this permission. I recommend waiting to get more experience editing Wikipedia, perhaps by patrolling recent changes for vandalism, before requesting this permission again. Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 02:20, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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. — ArćRèvtalk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    A few pages which I watch were tagged for pending changes protection, and I would like to assist in reviewing the changes to share the workload. Danners430 (talk) 05:14, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Most of my editing is in recent changes patrolling, and I understand the policies regarding vandalism, BLP, NPOV, copyright, etc. and apply them appropriately. Weirdguyz (talk) 06:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 178 edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more.
