    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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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 (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

    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.

    Autopatrolled

    User:Britfilm

    Patroller Usedtobecool thinks this individual would be a good fit for autopatrolled. Britfilm has 600 articles in the past year (~80 in the queue right now) and I am not seeing any deletion controversies. Articles are not massive but they're using proper sources and I don't see what NPRs can do except marking them reviewed. I have no comment on this and am just copying it over. –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Britfilm, is Henry C. James work in progress or are you done with it? Schwede66 19:14, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi there I was going to do more work on it, thank you! Britfilm (talk) 01:52, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Done. While Britfilm's articles can be a bit rough around the edges, they're not getting deleted, and those that get sent to draft are coming back. So as Usedtobecool says, in practice NPP is not really doing anything with them, and with their high volume of creations, there are definitely better uses of patroller time than continuing to manually review them. – Joe (talk) 09:44, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Rahammz

    Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Hello. I have been nominated for becoming a new page reviewer based on my edits. I believe based on my number of page creations and track record I fit the criteria for having my account becoming autopatrolled. Rahammz (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Rahammz, you already made request one time. Have patience. I have informed this matter at AN page. An admin will do the needful but since it's a huge backlog, admins can't watch all of our request at one day. ☮️Counter-Strike:Mention 269🕉️(🗨️ ● ✉️ ● 📔) 01:08, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Tapmani

    I have created many clean pages without maintenance tags on them. This of course wasn't easy as I had to spend months learning how to create pages by visiting the Teahouse (a place without a sip of tea) to avoid embarrassing and suffocating the pages I create with maintenance tags overdose. Having this right will help improve this encyclopedia and lessen the work of those who review new articles. Tapmani (talk) 09:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done – Joe (talk) 09:32, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Hemmers

    Hi, Have created >50 articles (mostly BLP), which are clean and not burdened with maintenance tags. Main focus is filling in redlinks of medalists on articles such as 2018 ISSF World Shooting Championships (World Champ medallists tick the box on WP:SPORTSPERSON, easy mode for notability and generally end up with plenty of independent coverage). I don't want to burden the backlog with uncontroversial articles. Admittedly my work does tend to be short and to the point. But clean, with good infoboxes and enough independent coverage to be uncontroversial. Thanks. Hemmers (talk) 17:22, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done, there's absolutely nothing wrong with short and to the point! – Joe (talk) 09:33, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Nataev

    Good day! I keep receiving notifications about pages that I created a while ago and started to wonder if I should seek autopatrolled rights to lessen the burden of NPP reviewers. I've been contributing to WMF projects since 2009. Here on enwiki, I've made over 9,000 edits and created over 90 pages. Of them, only four were deleted -- three were later re-created by me and kept, and one test template was deleted at my own request. I primarily write about Central Asia's culture, geography, and history. Some of my latest contributions include copy-editing and updating the entry on Queen's University at Kingston and turning a redirect page into a proper article about the highly important Andijan Reservoir. I already have autopatrolled rights on ruwiki, trwiki, and Commons and have had advanced rights on uzwiki since 2012. Admittedly, since I'm active on so many projects, my contributions tend to be short, but I have a solid grasp of notability guidelines. Nataev talk 19:39, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    In the meantime, I've created three more entries on fairly important subjects: Isfana River, Samat Sadykov Park, and Ay-Kul. Nataev talk 16:40, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Done Nice work; very clean articles across different topic areas. I appreciate that you set up redirects and link to Wikidata as well. I've pinged you a couple of times about minor things. In addition, there is an unreferenced section at Nabi Rahimov that needs your attention. Keep up the good work! Schwede66 19:09, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you! Well noted on the minor issues and the Rahimov article. Nataev talk 19:53, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Academia45

    When patrolling a page they've started, I noted its excellent quality, and in reviewing their contributions I note that this has been a consistent pattern. Klbrain (talk) 08:47, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for the feedback Klbrain! It is very kind of you. Academia45 (talk) 09:16, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I've had a look at a selection of articles. They look well-sourced, well-formatted, well-written. However, Academia45 recently opened a dispute resolution request after another editor raised concerns around neutrality on Talk:Elihu Yale. The talk page is difficult to read, as it has formatting issues from both editors, and a dearth of signatures. Given that the Yale family is Academia's prime interest for new articles, I feel somewhat uncomfortable on a decision here before DR has provided clarity. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:55, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Done, I think the issues being discussed at the DR are far from the kind of bright-line problems that NPP can be expected to catch anyway. – Joe (talk) 09:35, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I think when Hey man im josh suggested to re-apply later, you should think in terms of at least six months to a year later, rather than a month. Your recent creations look good but I'm afraid that early run of deletions is going to preclude you from being autopatrolled for quite some time. Please understand that this isn't a comment on your current editing at all – we just have to be very cautious with this right.  Not done. – Joe (talk) 09:27, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Frzzl

    Came across this user while patrolling, and am nicely impressed. With 43 articles created, Frzzl already has multiple GAs from their own creations. Among their last 38 page creations, only one has been a stub, and most are C-class. Frzzl's only deletion was their first ever page tagged as G2; in other words, no problems that I can tell. I feel confident in the creations so far. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:14, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done, thanks. – Joe (talk) 09:36, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Knightoftheswords281

    Saw this user while patrolling. Knightoftheswords has done a great job at building up articles on all sorts of current topics, from the humble beginnings up to generally B and C class articles across the board. They've created 29 so far with zero deletions... besides one that shows up in XTools, which was due to a now-blocked user moving Knight's draft on the Whatever (podcast) into mainspace against Knight's wishes, to which Knight can't be faulted for (as they confirmed this during the associated AfD). With all else being equal, I feel like their creations have all been solidly put together, even if it takes a few edits to get there, and they have a good understanding of writing articles and policy. Utopes (talk / cont) 06:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Done. They're really only a hair's breadth over an article creation rate where autopatrolled would make a difference (29 articles, but over two years), but it doesn't seem likely to do harm. Thanks for the suggestion. – Joe (talk) 09:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Otuọcha (talk) 21:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I've contributed a total of 516(26 mainspace) edits, out of which 450 were non-automated. Given my commitment to creating clean articles, I believe I qualify for the Autopatrolled user right, which would streamline the New Page Patrol process and recognize my trusted status within the community.

    User:NoobThreePointOh

    All right, this is my third request for AWB after the two previous ones (and yes, I know MusikBot is going to appear and say that my requests have been declined in the past 90 days). HOWEVER, this time, I understood what I had to do. For the 43 days since my second request got declined, I spent all the time reading up on the AWB guide slowly and word for word. From the guide, I got a strong grasp of what actions AWB does, that I should check my edits, not edit to increase my edit count, etc. My request this time is to fix typo errors, as well as perform advanced and quicker copyediting. When I did basic copyediting, I found it pretty tedious to paste the text on Grammarly, check what I needed to fix from it, and then go back and perform those edits, which can be quite time-consuming. Now I feel I have received lots of experience from my past mistakes, and am ready to use the tool. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 00:52, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Arjunaraoc

    I am editing English wikipedia actively for the last two years after my past work on Telugu Wikipedia for 10+ years. Ocassionally I find the need to make same edit like adding or removing categories or adding or removing templates on a number of pages for maintenance purposes to improve the organisation and content of articles in my areas of interest. I have made a request for AWB help. Instead of depending on others, I would like to be able to make such edits myself. I made a request for bot flag for my bot account. It was declined with the suggestion to use AWB/JWB. I came to know that about 8 out of 31 pages I edited with my bot account were erroneous as the page title and the content were not consistent. I have made corrections required for the same already. Hence I request for registering my account for AWB/JWB usage. Arjunaraoc (talk) 09:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Arjunaraoc, ignoring the "bot" related aspect of your previous use - what have you learned about mass-editing that you will keep in mind if you are granted AWB access? Primefac (talk) 12:46, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Primefac, Based on my mass editing experience on Telugu wiki, here are few points I usually keep in mind. I will take care to identify the pages correctly which require mass editing. I will check the regular expressions on a trial basis for one or two pages, to ensure that the correction is as intended. I will be responsible for all edits done using AWB/JWB. After the use of AWB/JWB, I will check again on a sample basis that all the corrections are done properly. If there is any mistake, I will correct manually or with AWB/JWB, taking extra care. For edits which require consensus, I will only use the tool after the consensus is achieved. As I am a linux desktop user, I plan to use JWB after understanding the tool properly with experimentation on small number of pages initially. Let me know if you have any other question.

    New page reviewer

    User:Isi96

    I recently received an invitation to apply for this set of permissions, and I am happy to oblige. I have been editing extensively for the past few years, and in that time I have created many articles and handled feedback on them. I also have a fair amount experience with the AFD and CSD systems. I would be happy to help improve this project even further with the new page reviewer permissions. Isi96 (talk) 03:47, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry for the long delay in processing your request, @Isi96:. I'm afraid I'm going to mark it as  Not done at this time. I can see that you have a lot of experience in mainspace editing, which is great, but are still quite new to maintenance tasks. I can only see participation in five AfDs and I can't find any recent CSD nominations (please consider using Wikipedia:Twinkle to keep a CSD log). For NPP we usually look for quite a bit more experience than that. You might give WP:AFC a try first – the work is similar but it has a lower barrier for entry. – Joe (talk) 08:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) I oppose to grant this specific and advanced perm in unexperienced editor who do not demonstrate the deletion policy and they 1 times only participate in WP:AFD and not participate in WP:AFC; I don't think this user is eligible for this perm without any enough experience in this field. ~~ αvírαm|(tαlk) 13:41, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you @Aviram7, but the information you specified is typically something that an admin would come across in their review of the user prior to granting them the permission. Generally, non-admins are discouraged from commenting unless there's something one wishes to share that they would not expect the reviewing admin to notice. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:55, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    While ideally we would indeed like to see some prior experience in deletion or AfC, your substantial article writing experience also speaks to a good knowledge of policies relating to new articles.  Done for a one-month trial; please make a new request shortly before it expires, to make it permanent. – Joe (talk) 09:19, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Antny08

    I have made a good amount of edits on Wikipedia, and I believe that I am ready to be a reviewer. I have had some issues in the past with understanding notability, but I have learned from my past mistakes and analyzed the notability guidelines. I know I can now accurately review articles to the best of my ability. Thank you. Antny08 (talk) 17:54, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. NPP requires more experience than AfC, and nothing has really changed since the recent AfC decline except another of your articles being sent to AfD, where you're making arguments like "He has not thousands, but MILLIONS of followers", "if it gets deleted I will probably leave Wikipedia", and "if the article gets deleted then it will double my deleted edits count, which will strongly hurt my chances of getting administrator someday". I do not think you have the experience or maturity for additional permissions at this time. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:06, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It’s just me expressing my opinions, that does not really show not having experience or being immature, but, okay, if you say so, I accept the decline. Antny08 (talk) 13:30, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thank you for offering to help, Fdssdf, and sorry for the delay in handling this request. I can see that you are a very experienced editor, but for NPP we usually look for specific prior experience at AfD, AfC, and/or with article creation. And it doesn't look like you've been much involved in those areas. You might want to first try WP:AFC to get a feel for new article work, after which do feel free to make a new request.

    It has been a while since my last request, and I believe I have demonstrated that I am ready and I hope whoever reviews this to share my thoughts.

    User:Shashwat986

    I have been tagging and flagging new pages for a long time, but with a lot of infrequency. However, since I'm unable to mark a page as patrolled, I'm not able to help reduce the workload on the rest of the editors here. With this permission, whenever I'm looking into new pages, I'll be able to make more of a difference. Shashwat986talk 07:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Automated comment This user has 372 edits in the mainspace. MusikBot talk 07:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My edits are lower than the threshold of 500, but that is due to my work on New Pages. As a result of my work, I have over 1200 edits in User_talk pages (implying around 800 pages successfully deleted). If the 500 is still a hard-cutoff, I withdraw my request. Shashwat986talk 09:12, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Shashwat986: It's flexiblish, but explicitly doesn't include deleted edits – we're looking for people with experience improving articles as well as deleting them. I can see that you were quite active in new page and CSD patrolling in 2010–13, but since then you've been almost completely inactive. Welcome back! The CSD are basically the same as they were then, but the kind of new pages we see has changed quite a lot, as have community expectations on sourcing, notability, etc.
    Based on your prior experience, I'd be willing to grant you the right despite not meeting the formal criteria (with the usual one-month trial period), but could you please first confirm that you've familiarised yourself with the current guidelines at WP:NPP? – Joe (talk) 18:03, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Thanks for volunteering WikiHuman2021. I can see that you're an experienced editor, but it doesn't look like you've been involved in any of the maintenance areas we would usually look for to demonstrate familiarity with the policies and processes involved in new article work (WP:AFD, WP:AFC, article writing, etc.). I would recommend starting with one of those, to get a feel for it, then making a new request down the line, if you're still interested.

    @Robertjamal12: Thank you for offering to help. I can see that you're an experienced editor, but I'm a bit concerned with how many of your own articles have been deleted, and also that your AfD record consists entirely of "keep" votes – mostly for articles that ended up getting deleted. On the basis I'm afraid I'll have to say  Not done for now. If you would like to try getting involved in WP:AFC and maybe spend more time at AfD to get a better feel for our inclusion guidelines, I would be happy to reconsider your request down the line. – Joe (talk) 09:16, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Waylon111

    Here's the criteria I have for being a Pending Changes Reviewer:

    1. I have a account 3 years old (although I have started picking up editing beginning November 2023)

    2. I think I have a good editing history, and a good track record.

    3. I understand what's vandalism and what isn't (accidentally misspelling a word during your edit is in good faith, but doing things like changing the date of a movie from 2024 to 1956 is vandalism)

    4. I know the basic policies, WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:!, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV.

    5. I know that you cannot violate the Copyright policy. (WP:C)

    6.I understand the guidelines on reviewing.

    But, you may ask, why do I want this permission? My answer is, to help people out on Wikipedia. If someone makes a edit that might not be correct, I could correct them on their edit. And I would like to use this tool to help "implode vandals", as the cool kids say. :) Waylon (he was here) (Does my editing suck? Let's talk.)

    3. Vandalism is something I see quite often throughout my time on Wikipedia, especially with new articles, but even on old ones where people do not usually go or think to check. I have dealt with what I can of these edits.

    4. Throughout my time on here, I have become familiar with the basic content policies, including neutral point of view, no original research, verifiability and what Wikipedia is not.

    5. I'm familiar with copyright on WP.

    6. I have gone through and read the guidelines on reviewing.

    Hi, I'm requesting permissions to Review Pending Changes for a few reasons, and hope ya'll will consider me. First, I've made 600+ Edits, including many of signifigance to multiple pages on various different Social/Historical topics. Second, I've extremely rarely ever had my edits reverted and that's been due to someone feeling my citation was not the best, but I've not had any major compliants. Third, I vote in the Picture of the Year & Arbitration Committee Election, and I'm familiar with WP Guidelines and Copyright. And I just enjoy getting to help have accurate and up to date information on Wikipedia, considering how many folks use this for information. And I'd be more than willing to take on the responsiblity of helping to ensure that continues and is done well. I thank whoever is taking the time to read this and hope to hear back, and thank you for the work that you do as well. Sunnyboi18 (talk) 02:57, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I am disinclined to grant this; it was suggested to you that you should have this permission but I don't really see any evidence of you needing it. While you have made more than the indicated two TPERs (I count 5-6), they are simple/trivial updates and thus I have not added them into the guideline count.
