Wikipedia: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:
- Administrator and bureaucrat access: Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, respectively.
- Bots: Request for bot flags should be made at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.
- Edit filter: Requests for access to the edit filter manager group and the edit filter helper group should be made at Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard.
- Interface administrator: Requests for interface administrator access should be made at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. Only current administrators may become interface administrators.
- IP-block-exempt: While the IP-block-exempt right can be granted by administrators, this flag is not handled here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be submitted via the Unblock Ticket Request System or, if there are significant privacy concerns, email the checkuser team at checkuser-en-wp
wikipedia.org or contact a CheckUser directly.
- CheckUser and Oversight: These rights are only granted by the Arbitration Committee, and only after strict scrutiny. More information can be found here.
- AfC reviewer: This access is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants.
- Redirect autopatrol list: Addition to the list is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list.
- Steward permissions can only be granted in yearly elections, and are rarely given.
- Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc. should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global permissions.
Review and removal of permissions
The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:
- If you wish to have any of your permissions removed, contact an administrator
- To request a review of another editor's use of a permission, use administrative action review
- If you believe someone's actions merit removal of a permission, raise your concern at the administrator's noticeboard
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.

I've been an editor on the English Wikipedia since 2017 and have created over 100 articles. Being autopatrolled will reduce the backlog on articles needing reviews. Thanks for the consideration. SuperSwift (talk) 19:10, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- (Non-administrator comment) On the plus side, no article deletions since 2022. I took a quick look at the three most recent recent creations: Lagos Marriott Hotel has incorrect coordinates (the map location is nowhere near Lagos) and the sources are rewritten press releases. Massey Street Children's Hospital is WP:OVERCATegorized: if it's in a category for hospitals in Lagos, then it's already nested in categories for hospitals in Nigeria and hospitals and doesn't need to be in those categories too. John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History is missing bold text in its lead sentence. These suggest your page creations will still benefit from being patrolled. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:04, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Not done. I have to agree with Dclemens1971's assessment here. Aoidh (talk) 19:37, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm currently working on some general maintenance of articles related to the theory of general relativity and would like some extra tools for automatic syntax fixing, etc. Some articles like this one could use some semi-automated tender love and care.

I feel like I've improved as an editor since my rights were revoked in July 2024 (due to a long series of impulsive mistakes I made and not checking my work hard enough), and since I last tried to apply in November 2024. I've tried slowing down on the editing, especially with Rater, as Pppery pointed out.
Anyway, the main reason why I wanted to reapply for AWB is because cleaning up Category:Pages using infobox Russian inhabited locality with unknown parameters has been rather tedious; I recently found a bunch of unnecessary parameters (most notably, "date") that I believe can be removed more efficiently if I had access to the application. However, I will try to remove parameters (or use AWB in general) as a last resort (like if the params are truly redundant), and instead try to fix them if possible. OpalYosutebito (talk) 02:29, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
- I also found Category:Pages using infobox university with the image name parameter, which should be an easy fix, as it mostly requires changing one parameter to another - OpalYosutebito (talk) 10:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

- Reflecting back on this I think the Wikipedia:Administrative_action_review#March 2025 revocation of my AutoWikiBrowser rights by Pppery scenario has made me lose motivation to process this page generally.

- You're saying all the right things, OpalYosutebito, so
Done. But I strongly encourage you to move very cautiously: you can expect the right to be revoked without warning if there are further issues, and if that happens people are unlikely to give you a third chance. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- Hello, and thanks for the reply. Specifically, I plan to create lists and use tools like RegExTypoFix to perform tedious but helpful edits more efficiently. I've only been actively editing for a few months and completely understand if more experience is expected before access is granted. That said, I've read and understood the rules, and I'll be sure to review every edit carefully and avoid making insignificant changes. – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 00:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Done, but you're indeed right on the edge in terms of experience, so move cautiously. In particular make sure you're only using AWB for things that are unambiguous mistakes rather than just differences in style. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:09, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors.
I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations.
I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting this permission because I want to volunteer in reducing the NPP backlog and ensuring that new pages are encyclopedic and properly cited.

Hi, explaining briefly: I would like to be able to contribute in this area. Thanks in advance. JacktheBrown (talk) 15:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request the New Page Reviewer user right. I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia since May 2022 and have made a variety of edits, including content creation, copyediting, and reverting vandalism. I have also patrolled recent changes and worked on improving articles related to history, Type 1 diabetes, and various general topics. Additionally, I understand Wikipedia's notability guidelines, reliable sourcing requirements, and article layout conventions. I am familiar with the CSD and AfC, as well as most other things. Thank you for considering my request. MallardTV Talk to me! 03:41, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
Page mover

I'm an experienced editor with years of history on Wikipedia and I've recently been getting more into page moving (mostly to fix disambiguation-related issues). The issue is that increasingly I see that a redirect already exists at the intended destination, so it would be very helpful for me to have the page mover permission so I can resolve these issues efficiently. I have moved over 500 pages so far and have initiated several requested moves as well. I don't intend to engage in any controversial moves and if any of mine are contested I'll immediately revert and go to RM.

I've been editing for a long time and understand Wikipedia's policies and goals. I especially like to help out at pages which have a lot of enthusiastic edits by knowledgeable people who might not understand Wikipedia's format and goals, making them perfect candidates for pending changes protection.
I think pending changes reviewer rights would be the perfect way to help separate the wheat from the chaff and help our newest editors participate and make a difference while maintaining our high standards. Bruhpedia (talk) 20:52, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

I have encountered instances where the ability to review pending changes to articles would prove useful in the prevention of vandalism and would help changes in good faith be accepted more quickly. Having the pending changes reviewer right would allow me to assist new editors with learning the formatting and customs of Wikipedia, and allow me to more effectively prevent vandalism and disruption to articles. I have read all policy regarding the pending changes reviewer right. Thank you for your consideration. wafflerrs talk! 02:49, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

I have taken up patrolling recent changes and clear vandalism prevension / sourceless BLP-edits in en-wiki too. I have enough experience of the tool through fi-wiki, where I am a rollbacker, pending changes reviewer and ”page stabilzer” (I think the group closest to it here was called editor?). I know I have under 200 edits too now, but my interest at the time here is vandalism prevention which is hard and takes multiple edits (causes spam in recent changes) without rollback-tool. I would ask for sysops to look at my well trusted global status and experience. Thank you! Osmo Lundell (talk) 20:33, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

- @Osmo Lundell: Twinkle's red "vandalism" button should revert consecutive edits by the same user in the same way that rollback does. It appears when you view the diff (noting that you have Twinkle enabled). Have you tried doing that? – JensonSL (SilverLocust) 04:56, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hey! Thanks for metting me know, I thought that using that button would need the rollback user group. Good to know if it works just like that for everyone! I would still leave my request pending, because rollback is still useful from the recent changes view etc. --Osmo Lundell hey 07:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am requesting rollback rights to help combat vandalism and disruptive edits more effectively. I have been patrolling recent changes for the past 30 days, focusing on identifying and reverting vandalism, test edits, and other unconstructive changes. I am familiar with Wikipedia’s policies, including WP:VANDALISM, WP:BLP, and WP:NPOV.
I really wanted to improve Wikipedia by my small contribution. I understand the importance of using rollback responsibly. This permission would allow me to respond more efficiently to inappropriate edits.
I want to also say that I made some silly mistakes in the starting of my patrolling. However, I learnt from them and make sure that they won't happen again. Such as reverting edits that are already reverted, that mistakes you can see on my past contributions.
Thank you for considering my request. Please let me know if any additional information is needed. ⚡ VortexPhantom • Talk 07:35, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi,
- Please any administrator review my request. I have already waited a lot, and now I likely to lose my patience too. Please get it done ASAP. It will encourage me to do more quality edits to Wikipedia and help it in improving. VortexPhantom🔥 (talk) 01:24, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
