Administrator instructions

Requests for permissions

Shortcuts WP:PERM WP:RFR 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, 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:

• 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 patrol whitelist: Addition to the whitelist is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist.
• 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.

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, 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.

HI. I a Wikipedian known for creating several articles about African literature and young adult fantasy novel. I have also created more than 25 pages and granting me the permission of an autopatrolled user will be essential as I will no longer wait for the articles to be reviewed which at times take at least two days after the page creation.

Autopatrolled is a purely technical feature affecting the work of New Page Patrollers. It is not an award and does not grant any 'essential' features to your account.

• Banak (AWB), hi. I see that your alternate account, Banak, has AWB permission. Is there a reason you need it for both accounts? – Muboshgu (talk) 04:03, 29 January 2022 (UTC)

I remember that I try to keep AWB edits to this acccount. I can't remember the reason I got it on my main account in retrospect, and can't see where I requested it in my edit history. It may have just been added by whoever gave me it on both accounts? I believe my intention was to keep the large number of semi-automated edits sepearte to avoid the appearance of trying to game edit count and/or to make it easier to seperate more significant edits (as changing a redirect's section anchor is not a minor edit). I created this alternate account in 2017 so I may be misrembering. The only reason my main account didn't lose it at the same time was due to more recent editing. Banak (AWB) (talk) 17:27, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Banak, sounds fine. Do you still want it on your main account or just the AWB variant? Primefac (talk) 18:25, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am Zippybonzo, I focus on reverting vandalism and maintenance, I am requesting access to AWB (actually I will use JWB since I use a Mac) because I believe that it would make it easier for me to add categories, tags, templates and generally fix pages with a greater speed.

I have been creating articles and looking at the list of new articles created daily, I have seen that some are good while others looks like a draft. After learning more about this right, I wish to apply to clear Wikipedia of draft articles which are sometimes created by new Wikipedians. I will be honestly glad to see that my request has been accepted. Thanks in advance. Emmanuel okon269 (talk) 06:23, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

What do you mean by "looks like a draft"? Unless the articles are unambiguously non-notable, lack any reliable source, or there is some COI or other policy reason why the article should be going through AFC, then there is no reason to be draftifying or nominating for deletion. Can you answer how will you decide which of these draft looking articles you will decide should be tagged and marked as reviewed and which ones you draftify or mark for CSD, PROD, or AFD?

Indeedily-doodily. All of the articles get moved from "/Next issue/Traffic_report" to "/2022-01-30/Traffic_report" (or whatever) -- the redirect is suppressed so we don't need to speedy 18 of them simultaneously.

 Not done Only one month of activity and very limited use of the undo button. Not seeing much of a need yet. Anarchyte (talk) 09:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, @Anarchyte. Can you consider it again? Thank you. --Victor Trevor (talk) 21:08, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

Sure. It looks like when I tried to look at your undo log last time I didn't see the full history. I'll go through in more depth now. Anarchyte (talk) 06:50, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I've done a brief spot-check and I like what I see, however I am concerned by the discussion at PERM/RB, so I think the best course of action is to put this request on hold alongside the rollback request until Vincent Vega is able to provide an update. Anarchyte (talk) 06:57, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

I’ve been editing for three years now and was once given Rollback rights. After misusing it it was rightly taken off me and I’ve since waited six months. The bulk of my editing is done to revert vandalism and fix any typo errors. I have noticed there is a large backlog and I would like to help. While my page says I am no longer very active I have recently rediscovered the urge to edit again. I am very familiar with the vandalism policy. RossButsy (talk) 16:13, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

I was granted Pending change reviewing rights on 5 April 2020. I have not been using this flag since long as I find myself more occupied with AfC and NPR. Please remove my name from the list. Thanks ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 09:34, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

In case I feel the need of this flag in future, I'd surely request for it procedurally. ─ The Aafī ^(talk) 09:35, 6 February 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I primarily patrol RecentChanges and revert vandalism. I use Twinkle and RedWarn to do this. I am requesting for Rollback to use Huggle as Huggle is a great tool to counter vandalism but require rollback right. Thanks Zsohl ^(Talk) 11:33, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights I request rollback rights to help fight vandalism, doing this in a quicker way. I have been using RedWarn for some time. While I recently had a block, it was due to discussion handling. The orginal block disruptive behavior was for 3 hours (a rather minor block). The 3 months long one was for how I handled the discussion after. The disruptive editing was a result of me not knowing that there were constraints in the sandbox, which I now know.

 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([3]). — MusikBot ^talk 22:10, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

 Not done I declined your last request a month ago, in which I asked you to establish a track record of good edits. Between the time of my decline and the time you filed this request, you've made exactly 8 edits, including two malformed requests for rollback (1, 2), in which you also doctored my comments to make it appear as if the decline never happened. Let me be frank with you: if you're trying to convince us that you're ready for advanced permissions, this isn't the way to go about it. -FASTILY 01:41, 5 February 2022 (UTC)

I was given temporary TE rights a few months ago when I needed to send out the November Signpost. At the time, I only expected it to be a one-off thing, but since then I've gotten the go-ahead to assist in future editions -- so I'd like to request the right without expiration. jp×g 22:17, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Genuinely curious, but why do you need TPE for Signpost-related business? (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 09:45, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

@JPxG: can you point to an edit or action that required this group? — xaosflux ^Talk 19:31, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

In October, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Issue was TE-protected automatically by MusikBot due to having more than 5,000 transclusions. There are other Signpost pages that have a lot of transclusions as well, so I imagine the only way to fix this is for the publisher to be a TE -- unless we want to make a specific Signpost exemption to Wikipedia:High-risk templates. jp×g 20:23, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Short answer is yes, we're working on it. Should that happen, I assume you do not actually need this permanently? Primefac (talk) 21:08, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

The major thing it does is cause the publishing script to error out and make me do a bunch of manual edits (and flail around on Discord/ANI/etc requesting urgent edits on the TE-protected page), so if this is fixed, I think I should be fine. I did need to use Special:ChangeContentModel on a template CSS page to make this month's crossword work properly (and previously, someone else did this so that Template:Islands of Suisun Bay and the Sacramento–San Joaquin River delta and Template:Islands of the San Francisco Bay Area would render the labels right) but I suppose it would be possible to just request an edit ahead of time in these situations. jp×g 21:57, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
