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. |
![]() | If this page has been recently modified, it may not reflect the most recent changes. Please purge this page to view the most recent changes. |
Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:
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.
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 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.
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.
Hello, I have created 100+ articles, primarily focused on television series. And I plan to keep doing the same. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V ( 💬 ✒️ 📂) 08:51, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I wish to use AutoWikiBrowser for making otherwise-tedious edits to replace widely-used raster images with vectorized equivalents. ⇒ Zhing-Za, they/them, 22:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting autowikibrowser rights Hi. I'm Bugnawfang. Lately, I have been editing on articles about some places in the Philippines. Recently, however, the Negros Island Region was created again after a law was signed by the president of the Philippines. Hence, there are 19 cities and 44 municipalities' pages that still have the old "Central Visayas (Region VII)" and "Western Visayas (Region VI)" region template tags. I am aware that my edits do not meet the threshold, but I do want to update these pages, and making edits one-by-one on these pages is tedious on its own. With this, I may request for the permission to use AWB to add the "Negros Island Region" template on these pages. Bugnawfang ( talk) 13:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
I understand that i does not completed the 500 edits and 30 days on Wikipedia but, i created a account on 1 April 2021 and completed 890 edits but i forgotten the user name and password of the account, i doesn't restored account, i realy a experienced editor of Wikipedia please give me Extended confirmed rights, I request you, i really completed 890 edits on my previous account but i forgotten the user name. So please give me extended confirmed rights on this account other than that account I know you will decline this request but I am making the request because you understand my grief and give it to me, that you not give the rights i will go to depression FightStranger ( talk) 09:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
I have more than 6000 edits as an editor over a time period of around 3 years. I have created several pages which I continue to maintain and have participated in processes like Request for moves and closures as well. Iv taken initiative in Anti-Vandalism work. I can help reduce the backlog. >>> Extorc. talk 14:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
I’ve reviewed pages on the new pages feed. In fact, I have sometimes CSD or redirected (because it’s a duplicate article) before NPRs, please consider me. 48 JCL 12:44, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights
As an experienced Wiki editor, I am requesting new page reviewer rights to help maintain the quality and accuracy of new pages. Your approval would allow me to contribute more effectively to wiki community. SparrowQ ( talk) 18:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
I have been a long-time editor on this site for 7 years with lots of experience creating articles and participating in AfD discussions. I plan to use this permission to help clear the backlog and provide feedback to editors for their new articles, regardless of whether their article is notable or not. KingSkyLord ( talk | contribs) 12:26, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
I've had previous experience, had it on trial period for a month during the back-drive, and I feel like I can especially do more. Noorullah ( talk) 11:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello there, I am interested tn helping out in new page reviewing as there are very large articles backlog and love to do so. Xegma (talk) 07:10, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I would like to request new page reviewer rights to help review newly-created articles and lower the backlog. I have accepted lots of drafts at AFC and participated in many AfDs with deep discussions to exhibit my knowledge of notability, as I was advised previously. Thanks! Waqar 💬 19:55, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
Good day. I am requesting to be granted the New Page Reviewer permission to assist with the growing new page backlog. I have created 8 new articles (although one was a complete rewrite that I then pushed through AfC) and meet the edit and age requirements for this permission. I also have demonstrated experience in the AfC process in both articles and redirects and have some experience in deletion related areas. I maintain rollback and pending change permissions, both of which I use regularly. I believe I can (and will) be of assistance in reducing the NPP backlog, if given the opportunity. Thank you. Garsh ( talk) 23:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
I have been editing for over 7 years and I plan on using this permission in order to help with discussions on WP:RM and deal with cross-redirects for articles that should have more disambiguated titles. KingSkyLord ( talk | contribs) 12:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
This user right will be super useful to me for moving unsuitable articles to draft space (eliminating the need to tag the resulting redirect with R2), dealing with articles created by new users in the wrong namespace (that I come across a lot as a vandalism patroller), and performing a round-robin move on two pages (that I try to fix occasionally when an editor copy-pastes an article). I've familiarized myself with the guidelines for moving and the article title policy. Ae245 ( talk) 08:05, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
I have moved quite a number of pages per WP:RM, and submitted many to WP:RM/TR. Since I wasn't of age to have this right, it was declined. Today, I logged in to Wikipedia Library, and because it worked, it means that I have reached the six months criteria for a page mover. I still want to volunteer here, and will be happy if granted. Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 16:42, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, my page mover privilege has just expired, after 90 days of what I believe to have been productive use in NPP and AFC. Could it be extended please? Thanks. Wikishovel ( talk) 06:20, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
I would like to help out reviewing edits before it is published as an live article. I do have good experience. I am aware that statements must be sourced, and I know what is considered nonsense. Cwater1 ( talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC) Cwater1 ( talk) 18:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I've been editing on Wikipedia consistently for almost a year, focusing on fighting vandalism, fixing citations, and archival. I believe that having this permission could aid in the approval of constructive pending changes that I often come across while fighting vandalism. I have made roughly 1500 edits, and have earned the rollback permission. — Your local Sink Cat ( The Sink). 23:22, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
I'd just like an extra tool in my vandal fighting utility belt. Plus signing off on good edits would make me feel helpful. -- D'n'B- t -- 17:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

I am heavily involved with editing route diagram templates and adding new items to template:rail-interchange, with a special focus on rail lines in France for the upcoming 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris starting later this month. I have made multiple edit requests there in the past, and very recently after refamiliarizing myself with the process, I've started to do it again. I would like the ability to edit that template directly so I don't have to rely on others to do it for me. Jackdude101 talk cont 07:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
