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.
Would be useful to make tedious edits. Un assiolo ( talk) 22:31, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Requesting so I can help streamline small edits like typos, general maintenance, and so on. NyanThousand ( talk) 12:56, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
So last night I made over 50-70 edits on the page Jim Cornette in order to hit 500 edits so I can edit more articles about politics because I was limited on what I could edit. Last night I didn't know I was breaking the rules, I found out when an administrator went on my talk page and said I lost extended confirmed status. He also told me I can't be trusted with extended confirmed status because those 50-70 edits weren't genuine. I think I can be trusted, I went over 2 months with making over 400 edits, and throughout those 2 months I haven't been blocked once and most my edits were productive, there were hardly any mistakes so I got hardly any warnings throughout the months. And when I hit 500 edits I edited the page about Hamas, my edits were constructive and I added valuable information and images to the page. I'm here to make pages better, if I get extended confirmed status again there won't be original research, edit warring, or vandalism, I've made hundreds of edits without doing that. So can I be trusted and get my extended confirmed thing back? autowikibrowser rights HumansRightsIsCool ( talk) 00:38, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

I had no idea, if I did I wouldn't have did it, I didnt know doing that was a problem, you might say I have to make a few hundread more constructive edits, Ive already made 420-430 of them in the past 2 months. And also it'll probably take a long time to get a few hundred more edits, I'm busy most of the day, I have a job and 3 kids to take care of. HumansRightsIsCool ( talk) 01:23, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I want to reduce the massive backlog. I have been looking at the new pages patrol feed sporadically for the past two months and the backlog keeps increasing. I want to play a part in reviewing the articles. HRShami ( talk) 11:19, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to help out with NPP considering the backlog, and now that I've created a few articles I feel like I'm ready. Suntooooth, it/he ( talk/ contribs) 18:44, 26 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)
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)
I would like to review some pages—particularly within Wikiprojects SCOTUS and Law. Also, I sometimes help autopatrolled users move drafts to mainspace over existing redirects via WP:RM/TR, and would like to be able to mark those as reviewed. (E.g., this one is yet to be reviewed.) SilverLocust 💬 21:18, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
My trial permission expired, and I'd like a permanent permission. I think my trial period was positive, and I would like to continue reviewing pages. You can see my page curation log here. ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 04:42, 26 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)
I'm a somewhat active AfC reviewer and new page patroller, so I often have to move pages to and from draftspace. Page mover rights will help reduce the number of R2 tags in the backlog. I also have some prior experience in RMs. Thanks for considering my request. (please mention me on reply) '''[[ User:CanonNi]]''' ( talk • contribs) 14:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm ThatOneWolf, and, I know I've been here twice before, but those times I admit I didn't really get the whole idea of experience and stuff. Plus, my last request was months ago. I took a little break recently when I just was checking my talk page and watchlist, but now I've come back to editing.
Anyway, the reason I'm requesting Reviewer rights now is because I feel like I could help in that area, with most of my edits being vandalism reversions. I also feel I suitably warn editors when I think they are intending to vandalize, or just let them know if it seems they could be trying to help. I've read all the policies listed in Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, and am very familiar with the copyright laws. This is why I feel I would be more fit now to receive this right. Thanks for reading! -- ThatOneWolf ( Chat Edits 12:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
I watch recent changes often for vandalism and problematic edits, and understand the difference between the two when reverting them. I've also reviewed the guidelines on reviewing pending changes. I hope this right can help me more effectively perform anti-vandal work. ADifferentMan ( talk) 07:34, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
Hey, I think I could review pending changes every now and then while I'm doing antivandalism patrolling. I've not been as active recently as I wish I was, but I think I can help in some little ways. The Night Watch (talk) 10:39, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I've been doing RCP for a little while now, and recently started NPP. I believe I could assist in patrolling recent changes to expand on my anti-vandalism work. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I would like to review pending edits and I meet the criteria, so I am applying now :) – The Sharpest Lives ( 💬• ✏️• ℹ️) ( ping me!) 08:29, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Recently got the Rollbacker user rights, I think this is also useful as I sometimes find good edit on many pending change protected pages while patroling recent changes. Warm Regards, Miminity ( talk) ( contribs) 13:06, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I regularly monitor the "recent change" feed now for about 2 months now, I actively warn users when I revert their edits thanks to twinkle and ultraviolet and actively report the clear vandals and spam accounts. I want to access the rollback rights to make reverting easier as I have slow internet. Warm Regards, Miminity ( talk) ( contribs) 11:15, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Very active in counter vandalism (very likely have over 1000 reverts at this point), have rollback on simple, do X wiki counter-vandalism as well. Think rollback would be helpful. Read and understood WP:Rollback and meet the guidelines above. Me Da Wikipedian ( talk) 17:14, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now, using Twinkle to warn members. I have over 200 mainspace edits, and I'm extended confirmed with over 700 edits total. I've also been doing NPP for a little too. I'd like to use rollback for more advanced tools such as Huggle and AntiVandal. Thanks, Lord serious pig 06:14, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Have been participating in counter vandalism for a while now and have developed strong interest in continuing in this area of editing. I request this right to enhance my counter vandalism capacity. Ednabrenze ( talk) 07:30, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
I have been contributing to Wikipedia for 14 years where I have made numerous edits to templates. When I've wanted to contribute to templates that were protected I have made edit requests which have been successful. I would love to be able to make these edits without the need to provide an edit request. I understand this would be a privilege which I would not abuse. As an editor I have never engaged in edit wars, vandalised any pages or been blocked (except for when I was contributing from a proxy IP which was not due to any actions by me). I believe I fulfil all bar one of the Standard Guidelines for a template editor, the only exception being number 5 as I have not contributed to a template sandbox. I am hoping that this does not affect my request and that my history on here and my willingness to help make my application successful.
A current project I am working on: Several flag templates have been recently moved in line with the proper naming convention of templates, however these have not all been updated within other templates creating a template redirect; I would like to contribute by updating templates used on templates to avoid that redirect. Thank you. 6ii9 ( talk) 10:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
