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, 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:

Removal of permissions

If you wish to have any of your permission flags (except administrator) removed, you should contact an administrator. If you want your administrator flag removed, you should contact a bureaucrat.

This is not the place to request review of another user's rights. If you believe someone's actions merit removal of a permission flag, you should raise your concern at the incidents noticeboard.

The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight flags 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.

Any editor may comment on requests for 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, 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 have made more than 4000 edits on Wikipedia, and going and created about 120 articles, nominated many Non-notable articles for deletion. I saw my Username mentioned in Wikipedia:Database reports/Editors eligible for Autopatrol privilege, so i'm here to ask for the privilege. Thanks. -- Syed A.

I'll be honest, this very recent SPI makes me nervous about granting permissions. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:30, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I agree. I think autopatrolled should not be granted here. Autopatrolled permission is not for the benefit of the editor holding the permission, but to ease the burden on new page reviewers. So your ability to continue editing will not be hampered in any way. Given the checkuser result, and your account being fairly new, I think new page reviewers can just take on the tiny extra amount of work of reviewing your creations.

User:ChaseKiwi

While looking at new pages, I've noticed that Chase has quite the number of quality redirect and article creations. Over the last year, they've created 100 pages that have been assessed at high ratings, with only a couple stubs in the last 50 creations. I haven't crossed paths with their volcanic topic area, but with a 94% edit summary usage I feel this could be a worthy bit to grant. Utopes (talk / cont) 20:42, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:PD Slessor

I have created several articles and I am focused on creating more articles. Granting me this right will help reduce the burden of new page reviewers and lessen the number of new articles waiting for review. PD Slessor (talk) 04:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done for 90 days. Your account is much newer than is typically granted Autopatrolled, for which reason only I'm limiting it to a 90 day trial after which you may reapply for permanent extension. However, otherwise your edits appear fine. You've created more than 25 articles, including more than 25 BLPs, none of which have been deleted. I've randomly checked 10 of them and all 10 passed a copyvio, NPOV and reference check. I see no other issues on checking the usual places. Keep up the good work. Chetsford (talk) 19:53, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm only asking this because I haven't seen the temporary-grants be used in this way, but @Chetsford: why a 90 day limit for autopatrolled? The way I see it, either someone has a track record of following Wikipedia policies and guidelines in article creation and can get the bit, or they don't (and the bit can be taken away). Sure the account is new, but if the quality page creation wasn't present then AP wouldn't be granted. In my eyes, this is the type of perm that should be given until pages become not-up-to-standard for whatever reason, at which point removed. I'm not an admin to make that call, just a patroller, but from my pov if the pages are consistently good, the pages are consistently good. It's no extra effort on the granted user's end because it just flips the "patrolled" flag, and progress could be reassessed in 90 days to make sure things are golden. Utopes (talk / cont) 23:32, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Utopes, you're correct, temporary grants aren't typically used this way, however, 50-day old accounts also aren't typically able to demonstrate sufficient familiarity with policies and guidelines to warrant Autopatrolled in the first place. In this case, the editor in question is apparently a savant; taking any action that might discourage them from continuing to robustly contribute to the project would be a mistake, in my mind. Nonetheless, this needs to be weighed against the fact that Autopatrolled exists to protect the most sensitive areas of the project and "the right is not normally given to very new editors, regardless of the number of articles created." I know this isn't an entirely satisfactory explanation but, I'm afraid, I can't go into greater detail here. Anyone else should feel free to make this immediately permanent, though, without objection from me. Chetsford (talk) 02:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Utopes:, re. this is the type of perm that should be given until pages become not-up-to-standard for whatever reason, at which point removed – the problem is that nobody is systematically reviewing creations by autopatrolled editors, so if this happens, it's unlikely to be spotted. This is fundamentally what makes autopatrolled a high-risk perm, and why are criteria for it are quite high. In edge cases like this, I think assigning it temporarily, so that the user's creations can be re-reviewed if/when it is extended, makes a lot of sense. – Joe (talk) 10:30, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Agreed. That's sound reasoning in this case by Joe Roe and Chetsford It happens on occasion. Regards, GenQuest "scribble" 02:32, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Tom.Reding

I regularly make list articles and BLP redirects, and their associated talk pages, in the WP:Astronomy space (quite modestly trying to fill the void that Rfassbind left when he stopped editing), and I plan on continuing to do so. I have been commended by a WP:NPP, Herpetogenesis, for my work. I have also fixed or reverted copyright violations on these pages as I see them [1], [2], [3], [4], [5].   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  21:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  21:26, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So autopatrolled only affects non-redirects in the article namespace, and according to sigma you have created 23 of these in the last five years, just under our minimum criterion of 25. Of course your article creation record goes back beyond that, but on balance I don't think it's so high rate as to justify autopatrolled. You are already on the redirect autopatrol list, which does the same thing as autopatrolled for redirects.  Not done for the bot. – Joe (talk) 07:46, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That certainly helps.
I was not sure if the large # of preparatory meanings of minor planet names pages I recreated as non-#Rs, and then #R'd, counted or not. Would these still fall under redirect-AP, since they were not created as redirects?   ~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf)  13:37, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Those would have been briefly in the new page queue, but removed as soon as you redirected them. The redirect should then have been automatically patrolled by DannyS712 bot almost immediately. Since NPPers are asked not to patrol pages until an hour after they're created, I don't think autopatrolled would have made a material difference. – Joe (talk) 13:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Aviram7

I have created over 25 articles from WP:AFC process and they are releated into Indian politicians and Which all are biographies. There are no copyright or any other issues in them; they all comply with the core policies and WP:BLP. I am requesting autopatrol to reduce some burden on NPPs.Thnx :) ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk)

(Non-administrator comment) @Aviram7 Being a pretty experienced editor with the NPP and AFC userright, you can directly create pages in the main-namespace without autopatrolled. Autopatrolled will not affect you AFC creations at all. Autopatrolled merely allows certain NPP users to ignore your contributions (it shows up with a purple icon).
That being said, while I really like the edits that you are making (Indian politics is not a easy area to tackle and I really respect your dedication to increasing Wikipedia's coverage in this area), you've had improvements suggested by reviews even yesterday I personally feel that having more eyes on your work would be a good thing in general, I would ask you to reconsider the application :) Sohom (talk) 14:58, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Dear @Sohom Datta: Hello, Thanks for comment on here,I know we can do directly creates article in mainspace, but I prefers WP:AFC for creating article, because I'm not like direct creating on mainspace, I'm eligible for this permission because I really need this and I try to make more better article but I don't know who suggest for improvement by reviews? I take a final decision If admin review my work If admin like my good (positive) work, so, they can do considereding to grant me this right,I think my requests should be left to the administrator to decide.Thnx 😊 ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 15:33, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No issues, I respect your descision :) Sohom (talk) 19:30, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Not done Aviram7 - everything looks good, except every BLP you've created is a stub. That's not an objective barrier to receiving Autopatrolled, however, extension of the right requires we observe that the editor in question "demonstrate familiarity" with policies related to BLPs. I think you are probably familiar with our policies related to BLPs, however, your corpus of work is not presently sufficient to serve as such a demonstration. Of course, familiarity can be demonstrated in other ways beyond merely creating articles but, in this case, I feel like it would be the path of least resistance if you could build out a couple BLPs to allow further review. After that, you should be good to go. By the way, your contributions are very thorough and nice and fill a gap that needs to be filled among Indian state legislators. Keep up the good work!

Hi. I think this utility would be a great help to me as I have become heavily involved in repairing and maintaining articles about cricket in India. A lot of repetitive tasks are necessary because of naming and dating errors, improving categorisation, and the like. I have systems expertise and have used utilities like this one professionally, so I am fully aware of what is entailed, although I will need to spend some time familiarising myself with this one's functionality and features. I have only been a member for about six weeks and I realise that isn't very long, but I have completed about 1,500 mainspace edits, many of which are the type that this utility could do so much quicker. Please let me know if you need more information. Thank you. Batagur baska (talk) 17:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC) Batagur baska (talk) 17:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done @Ultraodan You're right on the edge of what I would consider enough experience to be granted AWB access with most of your edits being very small. Given that you show a track record of how you want to use the tool I'm going to grant it anyways. One thing I'm concerned about however is the lack of edit summaries. I know it can seem unnecessary when your edit is small and your making a lot of them, but it can be really helpful for people going through their watchlist. Given the minimal effort required to add oner when using AWB it's basically never considered acceptable to not add one when using the tool. --Trialpears (talk) 09:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

User:Canada18

Dear Wikipedia Administrators,

I am writing to request permission to use AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) as part of my ongoing contributions to Wikipedia. My primary motivation for seeking access to AWB is to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of my editing tasks, particularly in the areas of batch editing, maintenance, and project contribution. As a committed member of the Wikipedia community, I have actively participated in several editing projects, with a keen interest in Economy Article editing. I believe that AWB will be instrumental in my efforts to standardize formatting, update links, and fix typos across multiple articles related to this field. Such batch editing tasks are not only time-consuming but also prone to human error when done manually.

Additionally, I am deeply involved in maintenance and cleanup activities on Wikipedia. I regularly engage in correcting disambiguation links, fixing broken references, and removing deprecated parameters from templates. The automation capabilities of AWB would greatly assist in these tasks, allowing me to contribute more effectively and efficiently.

Finally, I am dedicated to the mission of keeping Wikipedia a reliable and credible source of information. In this regard, I also participate in anti-vandalism efforts. The use of AWB would enhance my ability to quickly revert vandalism, ensuring the integrity of articles.

I understand the responsibility that comes with using AWB and assure you of my commitment to adhere to Wikipedia's editing guidelines and the ethical use of the tool. I have familiarized myself with the AWB user manual and guidelines to ensure its proper and effective use.

Thank you for considering my request. I am eager to contribute more significantly to Wikipedia with the aid of AWB and look forward to your favorable response. Canada18 (talk) 19:28, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I do a lot of categorization and tidying of new pages, and sometimes need to move new pages with unnecessary or misspelled disambiguation.

Wikishovel (talk) 09:09, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm not sure here. A lot of those are plausible redirects and moving Vendolite vending machine to Vendolite (for example) without a redirect seems likely to confuse a new editor. Wil leave up for some more admin opinions. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:46, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
HJM is right, Vendolite vending machine was a plausible redirect, and should have been retained, apologies for that. Some of the others they're concerned about may have been related to obvious sockpuppetry or subtle vandalism. Page mover would certainly have been helpful during my vandalism cleanup of this mess yesterday. But if the rule is "plausible redirects should be retained, pending admin intervention for other problems", then I'm happy to stick to that. How about a 30-day short leash, to demonstrate? Wikishovel (talk) 05:45, 2 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Done for another 30 days. If you haven't already, Wikishovel, I'd suggest reading WP:PMRC: basically, don't suppress the redirect unless it would have met one of the criteria for speedy deletion if retained. Redirects are cheap, so it's generally best to err on the side of caution when it comes to suppressing them. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Two reasons for requesting this user perm: first, I'm a reviewer at WP:NPP and I've been aware of this right for some time, weighing whether or not it's worth it for me to ask. The reason it's relevant is because as a NPP reviewer, sometimes I have the need to draftify things and I'm frequently leaving behind cross-namespace redirects with deletion tags that I think are just leaving behind more work for admins to do. It's not a lot but I do consider that you guys probably need less, not more tedious and menial work to do.

Second, I'm coming across instances more often writing articles where I am trying to move pages from the draft space (recently completed Draft:The Bear (The Bear)) to main space, where I would like to be able to do it over a redirect. Again, not a large reason, but would be nice to be able to do without waiting for admin eyes.

That's all really. Two minor reasons for this hat, but they are use cases specific to how I'm editing. Thanks microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 19:56, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey again, its been just over a month since I first started patrolling recent changes for vandalism here. After learning the ropes, I quickly began warning editors for all my reverts, and I have developed a good understanding of how to use reversion tools such as Twinkle and Redwarn. I will use rollback permissions to effectively use Huggle or AntiVandal to do my job better. -REDACTED403 (talk) 15:18, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
