    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.

    Been around for 10 years. A new page reviewer (see here) encouraged me to request the autopatrolled rights over my page and redirect creation record. ~ IvanScrooge98 (talk) 22:42, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Some of your given name and surname pages lack citations for the origins/meanings of the names. For example, the first sentence of Cencio has substantive information that requires a reference. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:59, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Carigval.97

    The user has created an impressive total of 834 articles so far, with only five deletions. Given this strong track record, I believe they fully deserve autopatrolled rights. Thank you. Baqi:) (talk) 20:11, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Behappyyar

    I am requesting the autopatrolled user right. I have created 96 articles so far, out of which only 2 have been deleted. Most of my articles are well-sourced biographies, mainly related to the Pakistan Army, with some focused on media personalities. I strive to follow Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing guidelines in all my contributions. Granting me autopatrolled status will help reduce the workload for new page reviewers. You may also consider taking suggestions from the reviewers (JTtheOG, John B123) who frequently review my pages, as they are familiar with the quality and consistency of my work.

    Hello, I'm doing a lot of repetitive edits on articles, fixing typos, improving grammar and adding consistent info across pages, so I need AutoWikiBrowser to make the process smoother.

    User:Jayhawker6

    I tried WPCleaner and I like the concept, but WPCleaner had some jank and seems less customizable and polished than AWB. I was hoping to clean up typos along with syntax/formatting, and a tool like AWB seems much easier on the eyes for finding problems like that. If it isn't what I am looking for, I'll request permission removal if that is preferable.  【💬】 22:19, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:GloryToCalifornia

    hey so I was on a talk page requesting an edit to a page be done, no one replied so I got bored. I was playing around with my sandbox because I was bored. I made tons of edits goofing around. because I played around with my sandbox I was almost at 515 edits. I saw that and was surprised. I decided to edit pages that require extended confirmed access. And then I edited the page where I left a comment on the talk page because no one was replying. Immediately my extended confirmed rights were revoked. Someone said I was gaming the system to get extended confirmed rights, when that's simply not true. I was just goofing around with my talk page, that's all. Gaming the system wasn't my intention. If it was I would've stopped why did I stop at 511 edits or so, that doesn't make sense. And if I was gaming the system to edit extended access I don't vandalize pages or nothing. I make normal edits to improve pages, so can I have extended confirmed back please GloryToCalifornia (talk) 06:37, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I’d like to request file mover rights to help fix unclear or poorly named files in line with naming guidelines. I'm familiar with tagging files for renaming and understand the relevant policies.

    User:Dr. Blofeld

    I am running contests like Wikipedia:The World Destubathon. It is a big attempt to eliminate thousands of stubs for every country and topic and want to invite a lot of project members personally with a message. User:DreamRimmer and User:Polygnotus have been very helpful, but it would greatly help me if I was given formal mass message rights as I will likely be running more contests in the future and need the easiest outlet to contact relevant projects and participants who would potentially be interested without having to spend ages doing it manually! ♦ Dr. Blofeld 06:51, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Dr. Blofeld: If you mean inviting members of a lot of WikiProjects, as I gather from your talk page, then I think this would go against the guidance that

    Mass messages should only be sent to groups of users who are likely to want their attention drawn to the message [...] For other cases, less personalized means of communication are preferred. Wikipedia's primary means of communication is through posts on article talk pages, Wikipedia talk pages, or various noticeboards, including the Village Pump. [...] To reach the members of a given WikiProject, a post on that project's talk page can be used.

    User:MediaKyle

    I first encountered a situation where the page mover permission would have been helpful when moving Michael Savage (politician) to Mike Savage (politician). Now as I continue developing content I ran into a situation where I need to move a ready article (Draft:Pottersfield Press) over a redirect I previously created (Pottersfield Press), and I foresee situations like this happening more, so now seems like a good time to figure out technical moves rather than continuing to ask others to do it. I intend to only use the page mover abilities for this purpose for the foreseeable future, and may start fulfilling uncontroversial move requests once I become sufficiently familiar with the process. Thanks. MediaKyle (talk) 15:22, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @MediaKyle I'm not going to decline outright in case another admin feels differently, but I'd like to see more participation at WP:RM/TR or WP:MRV first (I only see one edit total between both venues).

    @Ahecht, those ill-considered moves occurred during a brief and isolated lapse in judgment made amongst a flurry of moves, redirects, reverts, and other edits relating to United States immigration and nationality law, for which I quickly conceded that I was wrong
    As for my other moves and move request involvement, most have not been reverted or otherwise stoking such fervor, see the moving of Clobromazolam to Phenazolam, the moving of 4-Piperidone to 4-Piperidone, the moving of Scott Act (1888) to Scott Act of 1888, the moving of Post Office Act (1872) to Post Office Consolidation Act of 1872, the moving of Suwanee Snapping Turtle to Suwanee Alligator Snapping Turtle, the moving of Comstock laws to Comstock Act of 1873, the move closure of the proposed moving of Assisted Suicide to Assisted Dying, the moving of American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act to American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act of 1998, and so forth.

    Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

    User:JamesEMonroe

    Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights:

    To expand my tool belt as an extended confirmed recent changes patroller, and to more quickly afford new users their non policy breaking contribution. I have currently no sanctions against me and I think I understand wiki policy well enough for it. Thank you JamesEMonroe (talk) 20:02, 22 May 2025 (UTC) (Post edit) When using this perm, I will take extra care. I think I have met requirements in WP:PCCRITERIA and have reviewed Wikipedia policy. Also please consider older reverts as well or when I took the time to explain things to new users. JamesEMonroe (talk) 21:27, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi JamesEMonroe! I am not formally granting this permission (nor am I denying it), but I do think you should cut back a bit on the WP:STICKYDECO stuff on your userpage. While I have added the applicable CSS class to make the gadget function, many newbies—who frequently will have complaints when you revert their edits—will be unaware of the ability to tick the box to disable them, and they can be highly annoying/distracting/problematic for editors with sensory issues.

    I wouldn't object if another admin chooses to grant the permission, but I wouldn't personally feel comfortable assigning newbie-interaction-heavy advanced permissions with the current amount of sticky decorations. Best regards, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:55, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, Thank you! As you saw, I tried to add the collapsible boxes as a way for people to disable them (like the "clutter clear ->") as collapsing it would disable the code within. I was planning on making some changes actually, such as rearranging things and improving accessibility a bit, while always importantly keeping the talk page free from anything as it is. I hope it didn't appear unprofessional on me or too annoying.
    But I see what you mean as some newer people might not see the boxes. and ill see what I could do. JamesEMonroe (talk) 04:15, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @JamesEMonroe: On the default skin (Vector 2022) your Einstein gif blocks the "talk" button, the left molecule gif blocks the entire left sidebar, and the gifs on the right side block much of the right sidebar plus the "ClutterClear" button. That disrupts the interface by "preventing important links or controls from being easily seen or used". I would also urge you to fix that. – SilverLocust (Jenson) 06:28, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Arc Rev

    I want to have this permission to reduce the pending changes backlog. I reviewed all the guidelines, such as BLP and the guideline for referencing. I revert good faiths and obvious vandalism and warn the user right after. Although I cannot perform a rollback to the recent changes page to have a consecutive track record due to my device's limited capabilities. I would rather choose pending changes over rollback; with rollback, I must have track records of mass rollback vandalism. But since I understood the guideline of rollback and pending changes, I can assure you that I will be responsible for having this permission. — ArćRèv • talk 10:38, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    A few pages which I watch were tagged for pending changes protection, and I would like to assist in reviewing the changes to share the workload. Danners430 (talk) 05:14, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Weirdguyz

    Most of my editing is in recent changes patrolling, and I understand the policies regarding vandalism, BLP, NPOV, copyright, etc. and apply them appropriately. Weirdguyz (talk) 06:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm requesting pending changes reviewer as a current often-active extended-confirmed pending changes reviewer who wants to combat vandalism on pending changes-protected pages. I have read the guideline on reviewing and understand the policies on BLP, copyright, etc. Thanks! MouseCursor or a keyboard? 13:35, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello; I wish to request pending changes reviewer rights.

    By now, I have been editing Wikipedia for a month, more or less. I have extended-confirmed permissions on Wikipedia. I have done some work in cleaning up new pages and recent changes and I am ready to start taking on a larger task of reviewing pending changes. Element10101 T ~ C 20:56, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Re-requesting the Pending Changes granted by Mz7 to my comprised old account. Ɔþʱʏɾɪʊs⚔ 09:56, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Sardonism

    Hi there!

    Despite my account having existed since 2009, I only have a modest edit count - and so it is more than reasonable for one to question whether I am a sufficiently experienced Wikipedian to be granted additional privileges.

    I am requesting Pending changes reviewer as I believe I have demonstrated a good faith effort to contribute to the project, civility when interacting with other users, and adequate judgement when attempting to discern between deliberate vandalism or well-intentioned mistakes. But more than anything, I seek to find relevant policies and / or guidelines when confronted with a new (to me) situation - and while I endeavour to be WP:BOLD, I am aware of my own limitations and thus I know when to stop and ask others for guidance before proceeding.

    If granted Pending changes reviewer I cannot promise I would be a prolific reviewer of pending changes; merely that when reviewing pending changes I would ensure I am doing it because I am confident in my ability to get that decision right, rather than out of boredom or a desire / sense of obligation to make the decision myself.

    Thank you very much for your time & consideration.

    User:Very Polite Person

    I think I'm supposed to have this as I see an option suddenly for pending changes on my watchlist, for the article Remote sensing? I was going to approve (it's just a newer user adding some book references), but I guess I cannot? -- Very Polite Person (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:ExplorerofSpace

    A little bit ago I made a request (which was declined - account new), I am again requesting this right because:

    -My account is now over a month old

    -My account is extended confirmed

    -Lately, I have run across a lot of fine pending changes edits, but I can not approve them only revert them

    As you can see, the main thing I do on Wikipedia is revert vandalism, you noted I should be a little more careful in doing so, which is what I did.

    I think this right would allow me to reduce backlog, and do something I like (reverting vandalism) in a different way.

    As you can see, I am also requesting the rollback right, which would help me with this process as while as reverting vandalism in general.

    Whatever the outcome is, thank you. If it is not done, please provide me with steps I can take to get approved. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 00:29, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:TheArcRev

    Hello there, I am requesting rollback permission. With my contributions, I am particular with BLP articles. I know what unconstructive edits are. I read the guidelines, and I am also aware of what the difference is between good faith and disruptive. I do, but I'm not very good at patrolling recent changes due to my devices' capabilities, but I want to contribute to decreasing vandalism in Wikipedia to the best that I can. I have read the guidelines for rollback permission, and I guarantee you that I will have the responsibility of having this permission. Thank you. - ArćRèv • talk 11:34, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
