    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:CherryPie94

    New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Aoidh did you have any other comments on this request? Dr vulpes (Talk) 05:13, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Dr vulpes: I don't, no. I have no objection to this being approved or denied as appropriate. - Aoidh (talk) 10:21, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Done two month trial, feel free to ping me before hand and if there aren't any issues I'll grant it permanently. If any problems come up feel free to ping me on my talk page. Thanks for being chill about this taking so long. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:25, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    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]
    Thank you, I really appreciate your fix for this nomination and your tip for next time! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:01, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @LEvalyn: Thank you very much for the positive evaluation of my work on Wikipedia. I really appreciate it. Kjansen86 (talk) 08:22, 19 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]

    User:Fade258

    Hello Admin! I have been regularly creating articles and I'm also familiar with WP:AUTOPAT and Wikipedia policies. Thank you! Fade258 (talk) 15:05, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Hello fellow New Page Patroller @Fade258! One question I have is: are you going to boost your article creation? I see only one new actual article created since October 2023, so at that pace adding the AP flag wouldn't do much to reduce the backlog. You do seem more active in creating redirects, so once you get to 100 uncontroversial redirects created, you could apply for the pseudo-right at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list, which I would endorse you for and which would autopatrol your redirects and reduce the backlog there. As for your one recent creation, a couple notes. On Saumya Saraswat, the article subject should be bolded at the beginning of the first sentence. Two of your sources are unbylined WP:NEWSORGINDIA sources ([1], [2]), which are of questionable reliability. Hope this helps! Dclemens1971 (talk) 23:41, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Dclemens1971, Thank you for reviewing my request and for the feedback! I appreciate your suggestions and I will aim to increase my article creation rate moving forward. Currently, I have some articles on my plate to create but due to my personal reason I am not doing that. In the meantime, I will also focus on creating uncontroversial redirects to reach the 100 mark and apply for the redirect autopatrol pseudo-right as advised. I will also take care to bold article titles properly and be more selective with sourcing and avoiding unbylined or questionable sources. In future , I will also select those references considering the NEWSORGINDIA. Thanks again for the helpful guidance and your offer to endorse! Fade258 (talk) 01:09, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Done six month trial period, ping me before this expires and if there aren't any serious issues I'll make it permanent. If you run into any problems feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Dr vulpes (Talk) 03:27, 16 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]

    User:Phantomdj

    Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks. Phantomdj (talk) 01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) I reviewed @Phantomdj's last 10 article creations, and they are overall quite good. Well-formatted, clean copy. They all appear to be compliant with WP:NASTRO. It would be helpful if they could create talk pages for their creations (the WP:RATER tool is helpful for this) but otherwise I think the project would benefit from Phantomdj being autopatrolled.

    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]

    User:Scaledish

    I'm requesting preliminary new page reviewer to help with the backlog drive. Preliminary because I'm not perfect—I've definitely fallen victim to WP:AKON before with my own creations[1], but I also have created a number of articles that stuck, and edited up articles quite a bit[2]. Importantly each process I've learned and grown. I plan to start small and grow over time as I become more and more confident with the process. Just recently attempted to review a draft with obvious advertising and realized the permissions would be good. Thanks,

    User:WeWake

    I'm requesting permissions to become a new page reviewer. I acknowledge that I have reviewed the requirements and responsibilities of these user rights. I bring experience creating new pages (>30+ recent articles) in WP mainspace aligned with core content policies and their understanding, 3000+ total edits, good faith interactions with other users, former experience as AfC, and awarness and tooling (Twinkle) to handle page curation processes. In interest of transparency, I also have a AfC request open at the moment and hadn't realized that NPP now includes AfC rights. If this is granted, I will withdraw that request. Thanks!— WeWake (talk) 03:55, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, upon reviewing your edit history, I'm concerned that you are creating AI-assisted articles without sufficiently taking time to review their citations. I also see various indications on your user talk page that other editors have taken issue with you rushing through processes. I'm also concerned by relatively recent !votes at AfD under your old user name such as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giri Balasubramanium.  Not done signed, Rosguill talk 15:36, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Rosguill, appreciate time to review! Hopefully you'll allow me to address your concerns before making a final decision. Re: concerns around AI-assistance. The AI-assistance for articles are approrpriate tagged and thoroughly reviewed and heavily edited where applicable. For example, I use to create Infobox templates (using manually verified information) or formatting text into lists such as bibliography or adding markup. There were no concerns around citations or verifiability raised by anyone (as you've indicated) — except the one talk page discussion was centered on MoS, which was fair and I resolved it through good-faith discussion. So if I have missed anything, do please let me know. In fact, several editors and reviews have in fact acknowledge my contributions 1, 2. The talk page should also highlight my good-faith discussions with other editors where issues raised, if any, were duly resolved. Finally, re: Giri Balasubramanium page, I understand that my vote and reasoning was not aligned with the outcome, but AfD afterall is a discussion and consensus driven forum, so I feel my vote on that matter doesn't particularly reflect a lack of understanding on the process. It's a work in progress and, after all, people vote differently on AfDs (than the final outcome) all the time. Thanks! — WeWake (talk) 16:35, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    My concern is that there is a general pattern of excessive haste exhibited in the last month alone, and that this is not a good fit for new page reviewing. Further, my concern regarding the Balasubramanium AfD is not that you were in the minority, but that you were arguing for TEDx talks and interviews as notability-establishing sources, which indicates a significant gap concerning your knowledge of the guidelines relevant to new page reviewing. Consider reapplying in the future when you have a track record demonstrating that these issues are firmly in the past. signed, Rosguill talk 16:54, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Iljhgtn even though the permission gives you the technical ability to move categories, category moves should still go through WP:CFD/WP:CFDS. Do you have uses for the permission other than moving categories? Elli (talk | contribs) 02:44, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Sure, for helping draftify of new articles etc. Iljhgtn (talk) 03:24, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The scripts: User:MPGuy2824/MoveToDraft and User:Mr. Stradivarius/gadgets/Draftify both look like they would be particularly useful. Iljhgtn (talk) 19:31, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Good day,

    When reviewing pages, I frequently encounter situations such that this permission would be useful or necessary. These include redirect suppression when draftifying to reduce the number of R2s needed and the ability to move pages over single-revision redirects when accepting AFC drafts, which can occasionally present a barrier. I would also like to help with uncontroversial category and technical moves. I meet the WP:PMCRITERIA and believe I have a demonstrated both a need for the permissions and an understanding of the associated guidelines. Garsh (talk) 17:55, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to have the pending changes reviewer right so that I can help fight vandalism and deal with pending changes backlogs. I revert vandalism and other inappropriate edits when I come across them when I'm recent changes patrolling or viewing my watchlist. I also believe that I meet the WP:PCCRITERIA. Thanks for considering my request. Opm581 (talk | he/him) 23:45, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Chippla360

    Hello, I will love to request for the rollback permission so I can help fight against vandalism and revert unconstructive edits, I’m also interested to use the wp:ANVDL tool to detect vandalism more easily. I believe meet the requirements and I took the feedbacks after my last request was declined over the last 1 month, I’ve been actively patrolling recent changes since then and I’m here again.

    Hey there :3

    I'm looking for rollback perms so I can speed up my vandal reversion by using tools such as huggle. I don't have any issues with RedWarn but my more experienced friends tell me that huggle is much nicer and faster to use. (Arachnid's userpage | what did I do now) 00:05, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Rollback would make it easier for me to revert vandalism. KnowDeath (talk) 02:44, 19 May 2025 (UTC) KnowDeath (talk) 02:44, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
