Requests for permissions

Shortcuts WP:PERM WP:RFPERM 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.

• 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.

Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:

• Administrator and bureaucrat access: Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, respectively.
• Bots: Request for bot flags should be made at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval.
• Edit filter: Requests for access to the edit filter manager group and the edit filter helper group should be made at Wikipedia:Edit filter noticeboard.
• Interface administrator: Requests for interface administrator access should be made at Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard. Only current administrators may become interface administrators.
• IP-block-exempt: While the IP-block-exempt right can be granted by administrators, this flag is not handled here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be submitted via the Unblock Ticket Request System or, if there are significant privacy concerns, email the checkuser team at checkuser-en-wpwikipedia.org or contact a CheckUser directly.
• CheckUser and Oversight: These rights are only granted by the Arbitration Committee, and only after strict scrutiny. More information can be found here.
• AfC reviewer: This access is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Participants.
• Redirect autopatrol list: Addition to the list is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list.
• Steward permissions can only be granted in yearly elections, and are rarely given.
• Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global 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.

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 like to cut down on the backlog of pages that need to be reviewed while I create pages, especially as of recent where I've been working on creating pages for military battles, and Bahmani rulers. I definitely believe the pages I've created shows I am familiar with the guidelines of page notability, and especially quality. I've practiced with this being a new page patroller myself.

I understand, but I would be grateful if you could give me a bit more information. Does typo fixing count as substantive edits? If no, then how is typo fixing a starting use for AWB.

Thanks in advance. Bunnypranav (talk) 06:51, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo fixing is fine as something to do with AWB, but I would not call it a "substantive" edit and it doesn't seem right to count it as a "non-automated edit" either (even if you truly did perform them without any kind of automation), and not doing so would put you clearly below the criteria. I interpreted the idea behind that requirement was more about what the edits did and less about the non-observable requirement of how they were done, and making 500 mostly typo-fixing edits in a month just doesn't establish the kind of track record I look for when granting advanced permissions. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:33, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'd like to help contribute to wikipedia by archiving sports uniforms, specifically hockey. Many teams outside the NHL do not have their uniforms displayed on their site. I figured to get thru the 10 edits I would update NHL teams for the 2024/2025 season. I'm not necessarily able to edit because the only pages that currently have these are locked as far as I can find.

Please mind you, I have followed the requirements 100%. I am happy to make these edits elsewhere, but as noted, I'm not able to find unlocked pages that already have uniform images.

Here is an example of an updated uniform set for the Toronto Maple Leafs Link Here 27JJ (talk) 05:26, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question, though I am not an administrator, I see that you have published accepted AFC submissions, even if they lack citations or are in need of some fixing. And some have orange banners on them. Why is this? — 48JCL 01:01, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@48JCL: As they should. The standard at acceptance at AfC is that the article would probably survive an AfD. Nothing more. Declining a draft for surmountable problems like a lack of citations or pretty much anything covered by a cleanup banner is inappropriate. – Joe (talk) 08:18, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I spot checked the 4 most recent accepts and they had lots of citations at time of acceptance. Feel free to link to the specific draft accepts you are concerned with. A complete lack of citations is a valid draftification reason and valid AFC decline reason, but I am not seeing that here. A major lack of citations such as entire paragraphs missing a citation (and also not supported by any WP:GENREFs) could be a valid decline reason (WP:V is policy after all). But it may also be reasonable to accept a draft that is mostly cited and just missing a couple citations, such as Draft:Norah Fulcher. –Novem Linguae (talk) 13:33, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could anyone please review my request ? It is already couple of days. Xegma(talk) 18:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Firstly, apologies for the delay--this page has been somewhat backlogged of late. I'm ultimately going to have to decline on the basis of your track record at AfD; a 34% match rate (without counting no consensus results) is quite low, and I'm not seeing extensive policy-based reasoning or source analysis in your !votes that would make up for the low match rate.  Not done _signed, Rosguill ^talk 14:48, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you found the IP at AfC who submits soundtrack articles (41 accepts of soundtracks it looks like). I'm glad to see you've started to accept drafts at AfC, instead of just declining (a ratio of 1 accepted to 348 declined at the time of the last application). I do still have concerns about your experience at AFD, given that, of your last 40 votes, all but 2 of them were pile on votes where the result had basically already been decided based on the number of votes for the conclusion you chose. You accepted one piece of criticism from me, your lack of accepts at AfC, but you do still appear to be pile on voting. Honestly, I'm not sold, but I'll leave it up to someone else whether they want to grant you a trial or not. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback. I understand your points, I've made lots of contributions recently, and I hope I will be granted a trial to demonstrate my willingness to contribute positively. Best, Waqar💬 07:49, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to say that I've been working so hard for the past couple of months. I've made so many contributions to AFCs, I've reviewed over 1,160 articles (accepts: 138, declines: 670, and the rest either rejected or speedily deleted) so far. I'm also actively patrolling the new page feed, adding maintenance tags, and tagging articles for speedy deletion like A3, A7, and G11. I've drafted more than 200 articles that either lacked reliable sources or needed additional sources. In the AFD discussions, I voted on more than 150 pages. Without considering the no consensus results, 98.6% of my AfD's were matches, and even though the votes were assumed to be piles on voting, most of my recent votes were very detailed and specific and weren't pointing towards anyone, but I will accept their valuable advice and try my best to make improvements at AFDs as well. Having said that, I believe that all those contributions exhibit my hard work and dedication. I hope I get a chance to at least prove myself by patrolling new pages, and I would be more than happy to help with the backlog. Thanks for your time and consideration.

1. You rushed through 2 dozen different Polish dialect pages in under 10 minutes on July 25. While in general these articles seem to cite an authoritative source, more time should have been spent spot-checking controversial claims and verifying that the cited source actually contains significant coverage of the specific dialect in question and not just Polish linguistics more generally.
2. Noel Hein does not cite significant coverage, and shows clear signs of UPE editing.
3. Bad Shabbos does not cite significant coverage, although I was able to find some online and tag it with {{sources exist}}
4. Kfar Devora's sources are for the most part not accessible, and it is an article that falls under WP:PIA and only cites sources affiliated with Israeli institutions. It should have at least been tagged with {{refimprove}}, and I was unable to quickly find sources that satisfy WP:GNG searching on Google Books and Scholar.
5. Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church of Hakodate does not cite significant independent coverage, although I again was able to find some sources online and tag it with {{sources exist}}

I requested this perm a while ago before I was adequately experienced, and it was recently suggested that I apply again. Since my first request I have participated a lot more at AfC and AfD, which I think has shown me aspects of notability/deletion/creation policies I had less of a grasp of then. I think it would be good to help given the backlog (particularly where it relates to events and literature where I believe myself to have the best grasp on notability criteria). I would like to help with the redirect backlog as well. Thanks! PARAKANYAA (talk) 01:20, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I request that I have page reviewer rights to lower the backlog. I typically create articles in royalty and nobility and have made 16 successful articles specialised in royalty as well as I contribute a lot to them and made 4 specialised in writers. I have 1,700 edits in the 9 months I have been on Wikipedia meaning I contribute daily. I do often look at the articles in page patrol and add tags when needed, also draft when needed and delete when needed. I really hope that I can help reduce the backlog! Thanks in advance. Azarctic (talk) 01:37, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia and your interest in this permission. Unfortunately, I'm seeing several deletions of relatively recently created articles, so I am going to have to decline this request.  Not done _signed, Rosguill ^talk 19:58, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. May I ask when it would be good to reapply to this? My last deleted article was in May and I’ve leant a lot since then. If you have any other suggestions on how I could improve on Wikipedia, it would be greatly appreciated. Azarctic (talk) 23:34, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Azarctic, continuing to create new articles (especially across a variety of topics, although this is by no means a requirement) and to participate in AfDs are good ways to show your qualifications.

Given User talk:ToadetteEdit#Move review for Donald Trump fist pump photographs just today, as well as a past history of similar closes of deletion discussions at DRV, I am not convinced this should be granted. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 06:09, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also concerned about User_talk:ToadetteEdit#RM_at_Talk:Ted_Wilson_(figure_skater), which is, at best, a communication failure (A good closer will transparently explain how the decision was reached – WP:NHC), and at worst a headcount to determine consensus (WP:NOTDEMOCRACY).

@ToadetteEdit: would you please respond to the above concerns? Best, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 15:50, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening. It has been a while since the request was opened. I've resolved the concern about the Donald Trump photo RM by moving to the appropriate page. I also answered the concerned about the Ted Wilson page, so communication isn't an issue here. My consensus is often misunderstood by many, but this time, I will only focus on closing straightforward RMs and leave controversial ones until I improve my decision-making skills, in addition to answering RMTR requests. ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:19, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

About "my consensus is often misunderstood by many", can you explain what you mean? Whose consensus is being determined in these discussions, and why might your intention be misunderstood frequently? Dekimasuよ! 03:13, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you can observe on my talk page and the latest archive. therre were people who disagree with my closure and associated consensus. There aren't any consensus from others and people see me as an editor new to closing discussions, and therefore sometimes others do not understand my consensus or confused of it. ToadetteEdit (talk) 05:14, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. However, this does not assuage my concerns. Consensus is formed among editors through the process of discussion, and a closure should reflect the consensus that is shown in the discussion. When other editors disagree with one of your closes, this indicates a feeling that your close did not reflect the balance of the result of the discussion, not an intent to discount your perspective because you are a newer closer. Consensus is not an aspect of the editor closing the discussion, so while you may mean "my reading of consensus", we do not normally refer to "my consensus" or "consensus from others" when marking the outcomes of discussions. Dekimasuよ! 06:08, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understood your statement. It's my sense of consensus and my implementation. At first, editors do not agree with the closure in the first place, so that was what I meant by "consensus misunderstood". ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ToadetteEdit. I am going to mark this as  Not done, though I take no pleasure in doing so.

One fundamental requirement for page movers is the ability to communicate clearly. I think the exchange directly above is representative of the problem. Quite frankly, it should not have taken two replies to drill down what you meant by my consensus. Ideally it should have been clear in your original comment. If questioned, you should have taken one reply. Occasionally being unclear is okay: We all make mistakes, after all! But the fact that your closures are frequently misunderstood is a problem with your communication, and not one I am comfortable having in a page mover.

Some advice, which I will repeat from your own user page: slow down [your] activity because there is no deadline. You do not need to rush to obtain permissions. In fact, remember the Tortoise and the Hare story: going fast is no substitute for deliberately thinking through all your actions.

You are, of course, welcome to continue to make RM closes, and make use of WP:RM/TR. I would suggest doing this and building a track record of excellent communication, and re-applying for the permission in a few months. Good luck :)

Best, HouseBlaster (talk · he/they) 17:55, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, I will return again after working extensively in move discussions and after I improve my communication skills. Thanks for the feedback anyways. ToadetteEdit (talk) 18:02, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an active AfC reviewer, and I spend a lot of time patrolling new pages. I often draftify articles that are not sourced or need additional sources (over 250 articles so far). Having this right would be super useful and help reduce the number of R2 tags for admins in the backlog.
