    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.

    User:CherryPie94

    New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    One thing that immediately jumped out at me is some biographical articles created (e.g. Kim Na and Son Se-bin) have unsourced biographical information, such as the date of birth. This information should be sourced to ensure compliance with WP:DOB. - Aoidh (talk) 03:07, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've considered adding references directly next to DOB, which I did at my two most recent BLPs: Mike Kim and Lee Joon-ho. If birth information is not 100% verifiable, I play it safe (eg. Lee Seung-yoon). Per WP:DOB, links to websites maintained by the subject are generally permitted so I included Kim Na's personal website which states birth year as 1986 in the external links section. I created Son Se-bin over 5 years ago when I was much less experienced, so I don't quite recall which exact source I used for DOB (birth year seems to have been present in Star Today), so I've just amended that. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:22, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah I've misinterpreted that personal website policy, though it does fall under WP:ABOUTSELF, I've now also directly sourced it. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 04:39, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Kjansen86

    I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominate User:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I find one (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!) ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Already done (automated response): This user already has the "autoreviewer" user right. — MusikBot talk 21:20, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @LEvalyn: I went ahead and adjusted the nomination so it reflects who's actually being discussed, hope you don't mind! For future reference, you can use the "add request" link at the top of this page and replace the {{subst:REVISIONUSER}} with whichever user you're nominating. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:WormEater13

    I would love to use AWB/JWB to help clean and contribute to articles! WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 20:00, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Any specific task in mind? This request is kind of vague. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:00, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pppery - Yeah! I aim to automate simple, repetitive tasks with AWB. For example, fixing grammatical errors. This would help me save time on simple mistakes and help me rather focus on improving and expanding existing Wikipedia articles with new information, acting as a essential copilot. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 16:12, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    This is still super vague and reads like content-free ad copy to me. Please provide an example of a specific series of edits you would make using AWB with links to diffs. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:14, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Pppery - sure, no worries.
    I'd mainly use AWB's RegexTypoFix feature to fix grammatical errors, as well as add categories/navboxes (e.g for state legislatures) to a bulk amount of articles. I'd also use it to standardize links and clean up inconsistent formatting. I already have experience with automated tools such as Antivandal and Twinkle, so this would be a great addition to my toolset. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, that's much better.  Done * Pppery * it has begun... 16:49, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Pineapple Storage

    Requesting as this tool would aid in updating incoming links to Kuna language, which is now a redirect page for Guna language, per WP:POSTMOVE. (This will likely also include updating some links to Guna people, which was moved from Kuna people in 2020, and many pages still link to the redirect page.) I've already done a few manually, and it has been pretty time-consuming. My mainspace edit count is only 380 at time of posting, so of course I totally understand if this request isn't granted, but given the time it's going to take to complete all 160+ WP:POSTMOVE edits without any automation, I'm submitting a request anyway just in case. Pineapple Storage (talk) 20:08, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Update: it seem most of the 160+ links to Kuna language were in transcluded templates! Now that I've updated these templates, the outstanding redirect links are down to 72, and about half of these are non-mainspace, so the workload is much more manageable than I thought. Withdrawing my previous request, as other than the WP:POSTMOVE cleanup for Guna language, I don't currently have a need for AWB. Pineapple Storage (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Tashmetu

    I had my EC revoked last year by the arbitration committee. I have since completed the required 500 substantial edits to the best of my knowledge. I applied about a month ago and was refused because I didn't clearly understand the requirements. But hopefully this time I got it correctly. Tashmetu (talk) 13:58, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for extended confirmed declined in the past 90 days ([1]) and has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([2]). — MusikBot talk 14:00, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Xaosflux hey, sorry for tagging you. I just noticed you are the only active admin on this thread and I was wondering if you can look into my request or let me know who I can contact to have it looked at. Tashmetu (talk) 17:36, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Tashmetu, the ArbCom remedy requires that Tashmetu shows that they have made 500 substantive edits; all I can see is a statement that you did. While I think it doesn't mean you have to provide a list of all the contributions (that would be hard to review and pointlessly redundant to the full list), I personally think you should explain at least in some detail how you improved the encyclopedia since the revocation. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair point, I assumed there would be some process for this but I will do my best to explian. So I have worked mostly on the history side of Wikipedia, contributing to the "years in France" series and "years in Iraq " series, writing articles, adding details, events, and references. I have a huge library of history books so I thought that's the best use of my resources. I also try to create and enrich pages of notable Iraqi figures, though not as often because it's harder to find reliable sources for these. One of the issues I ran into while editing Iraqi history pages, because they are more recent, is the continuous topics keep coming up, like it's hard to talk about Iraq in the 90s without mentioning Kurdistan! This one of the reasons I would appreciate having my confirmation reinstated. Tashmetu (talk) 16:20, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:IdanST

    I had my ECP revoked 5 months ago. Since then, I've made hundreds of meaningful edits and currently have 806 edits. IdanST (talk) 18:16, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

     Automated comment This user has had this permission revoked in the past 180 days ([3]). — MusikBot talk 18:22, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello IdanST, please describe the meaningful edits and what you'd like to use the permission for. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:01, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, some of the edits I've made were focused on tidying up articles, such as List of snipers (you can check the history). These edits involved a major overhaul: adding sources, removing false or unsourced information, and fixing sentence structures. I've also made substantial edits to other articles, such as Embraer C-390 Millennium (you can check the history), Tilhas Tizi Gesheften, Oradour-sur-Glane massacre, Ayi Silva Kangani, alongside dozens of other articles where I've made meaningful, though not as extensive, contributions.
    You should be aware that most of these edits are the result of my work translating articles to the HE Wikipedia, as you can see here. Since my ECP was revoked, I’ve translated over a hundred articles. While reading the English articles before translating them into Hebrew, I also fix any mistakes or make improvements wherever I see the need. IdanST (talk) 18:15, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Jlktutu

    I had my EC revoked because of gaming of the system. I believe this happened March 22, 2025. Since then, I have attempted to edit constructively on Wikipedia. I want to see if there is a way that I can get EC. Thanks again

    Hello Jlktutu, please describe how you have constructively edited since the revocation and what you'd like to use the permission for. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:00, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I believe that I have made over 1000 edits. However, I do want to put the edits in context. The vast majority of them have been Anti-Vandal. Have also made some other edits, such as one to the Article on Bitcoin. I do want to see if I can contribute to Articles that are EC protected. Especially when there’s something in the news that means the Article ought to be edited. For example, and I am not mentioning this for any special reason, Article on Jerusalem. I would have gotten EC if there was no gaming of the system. I have, however, attempted to become better. Hope I made sense and answered your questions. Thanks again. Jlktutu (talk) 04:11, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The Jerusalem article seems like an odd choice given that it is the most contested city on the planet and probably in the top 10 most controversial and difficult articles to edit out of the ~7 million English articles. Are you planning to change something there that won't be immediately reverted by one of the 1000+ page watchers? Sean.hoyland (talk) 12:59, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I am not. In fact, it has nothing to do with that Article specifically. I was only using it as an example. I plan on making edits that will not have a need to be reverted Jlktutu (talk) 19:14, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hmm. Your public computer account would then have the same permissions as the main account. The only purpose I can see then is to keep an account in case one is compromised.

    User:Rahmatula786

    I am reapplying for the new page reviewer role after my initial request was declined because now I realize I had applied prematurely. Since then, I have gained some experience, refined my understanding of Wikipedia’s policies, and have been actively contributing to the Articles for Creation (AfC) review process. This has not only strengthened my ability to assess new articles but has also given me useful experience in engaging constructively with editors.

    I am well-versed with Wikipedia’s guidelines, particularly regarding notability, verifiability, and neutrality. My strength is my ability to remain unbiased while reviewing, and I always strive to improve by learning from my mistakes. Though my registered account is only a few months old, I have been editing Wikipedia for a long time, which has given me substantial familiarity with its norms and regulations.

    I have been enjoying reviewing AfC drafts, and this experience has encouraged me to take on a more active role in maintaining Wikipedia’s quality. I now feel myself confident that I can handle this responsibility and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to contribute as a new page reviewer.

    Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Rahmatula786 (talk) 17:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to request NPR rights to contribute more effectively to this area and help reduce the backlog at NPP. I have created 18 articles and have been actively involved in patrolling new pages, tagging non-notable and promotional content for CSD and AfD. Many of the articles I have nominated for CSD or AfD have been deleted, which I believe reflects my understanding of Wikipedia's notability and content policies. With NPR rights, I will be able to continue this work more efficiently. I am familiar with relevant guidelines and policies and would appreciate the opportunity to help out in this area.

    I've been an editor for a while and have experience in article creation (mainly on the shorter side for more niche areas with fewer sources) and have a few DYKs under my belt.

    Yooooooooooo that's awesome! It didn't require a permission back then (this became a thing in Oct 2016), and I think I was inactive in page review around that time so I didn't notice and didn't apply. Most of what I do is article creation in niche areas, so I haven't bothered to apply. Upjav (talk) 17:25, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    HJ Mitchell I’m generally fine with other admins reviewing track records for people whom I conferred trial runs to (and arguably the extra set of eyes is a good thing).

    I would like to expand my contributions to Wikipedia by helping address the extensive backlog at NPP. I have been an active participant in the AfC process as a probationary reviewer for multiple months, and I regularly take part in AfDs and occasionally in PRODs within the scope of WP:PHILIPPINES. While I understand that my impact on the backlog may not be significant in terms of numbers, I am committed to performing thorough, policy-aligned reviews to the best of my ability.

    User:Yoblyblob

    I had a trial permission to manage redirects close to a year ago, if I remember correctly. I did not have time for the back half of that trial, but have more time now. I have noticed how large the article backlog is and would try to work on lowering that, since I am finding myself with a lot more free time on here. Generally think I have a good past experience with AfD, not as much as some, but understand most guidelines well. May leave some more questionable pages up for a different reviewer, but have a good record adding categories and WikiProjects on my own article. Lots of my current pages are election pages or football pages, so might lean more into reviewing those since I am most familiar with those guidelines.

    User:Cinder painter

    I was granted temporary New Page Reviewer rights for one month, which expire on 20 April. During this period, I carefully completed a reasonable number of reviews (of pages of various topics), including reviewing and tagging new pages with banners, draftifying, requesting speedy deletions, and creating AfDs. While reviewing new pages, I often searched for additional reliable sources and added them to the articles I was reviewing, to ensure that they were not lacking significant coverage references. It was time-consuming, but I felt it was a good thing to do. Therefore, I kindly ask to review my NPP work and, if it's ok, consider granting me permanent NPP rights.

    Hello, I was given the New Page Reviewer rights as a one-month trial. This permission will expire on 20 April 2025. During this time, I have been doing active reviewing of new pages and learning more about notability, reliable sources, and the CSD/PROD/AfD process. I tried always to be careful and make constructive reviews. I really want to keep helping with this work.

    I've been active on Wikipedia for over two years, during which I've created 130+ articles, with 1 being deleted. I've also participated in numerous AfD discussions, been active as an AfC reviewer, and have a profound understanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines and importance of reliable in-depth coverage in reliable sources. I'd like to help reduce the backlog of unreviewed articles and try a role of NPP. I don't hurry and review the pages carefully when nominating articles for deletion, accepting AfC submissions, and patrolling newly published pages.

    User:WormEater13

    Hi! I've been patrolling, creating, and monitoring articles on Wikipedia for months, but recently i've been able to be more active. I would like to request the rollback right - having the right would make my work patrolling Special:RecentChanges easier, as I wouldn't need to manually undo edits, but rather just be able to rollback edits directly. I use tools such as WP:RedWarn and WP:Twinkle, so having rollback rights would help me combat vandalism easier. Not to mention, I am aware of Wikipedia's core policies - such as WP:N, WP:NPOV, etc. As a newcomer myself, I am very well aware of WP:BITE and try to be as friendly and welcoming to new editors as possible.

    I feel like rollback rights will help me fight vandalism more effectively here on the English Wikipedia. I generally meet the guidelines on the top of this page (I've patrolled actively for the better part of a month now) and I believe it would help me more efficiently fight back against vandalism than being limited to Undo and base Twinkle.

    I am inclined to decline this; you have been granted the right twice on a temporary basis, and yet have made almost no template-related edits during those periods (and zero template edits during the previous 2024 trial). You have also not made any TPERs since your last trial. What makes this time different from the previous two? Primefac (talk) 14:00, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Primefac: Well, I didn't easily use these rights unless there were valid pending requests. During my trial, I performed 3 and declined 2 of them. None of them has been contested. Yet I'm not going to eagerly engage in unneeded protected edits just to increase my edit count, I only engage in the ones I'm sure about. If you expect me to abuse TPERs and TE rights, it's not going to happen. I just saw there are currently 19 pending requests and I thought I could be helpful, nothing more. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 12:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes we do need more editors who are willing to look at these requests (currently 25 now), and you could help with this. I think Primefac is asking why you requested the right in Feb 2024 but then made no edits to templates in that period. We would normally expect to see more edits so we can make a decision about applying the right permenantly — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:37, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @MSGJ: Well, I usually don't talk about my personal life here, and I would like to continue on that path, but I also understand why some context may be helpful for you, despite it being private. Unfortunately, as you know, that period you mentioned was few months right after the beginning of the genocide in Gaza, with war crimes to be documented everyday and countless starving families and kids needing help to survive and escape bombings, so as a human rights activist and project manager for the Human Rights Watch on Palestine, I had to focus on that. Besides it being my life-mission and job, human lives obviously came first. So, going back to the question: Wikipedia is very important to me, but you know, we all real-life have priorities. That's all. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 23:43, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    That is completely understandable and satisfactory for me. (Sometimes we take ourselves too seriously and this is only a website.) Thanks for offering your services — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:57, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Done for another trial. For what it's worth, this is not about the intersection of real life vs Wikipedia (but thank you for that explanation), but rather that multiple trials have not shown that you really need (or will use) this permission; if you are busy to the point where you are not doing much TPER-related editing, it makes it hard to justify granting indefinitely.
