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.

I have created 26 articles so far, and it would be great to have the next ones appearing on search engines more quickly. PetéWarrior (talk) 11:18, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not a regular here, but is that the purpose of autopatrolled? --Deepfriedokra (talk) 12:37, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra: More of a side-effect: new pages are marked as {{NOINDEX}}, telling search engine crawlers to ignore them, until they're patrolled or for 90 days (whichever is first). – Joe (talk) 12:49, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do we have any admins who can read Japanese? All the articles appear to be translations and it would be good if somebody could cast their eye over sources. Meanwhile, PetéWarrior, could you please add sources for dates of birth to the bios of living people to comply with Wikipedia:DOB? Schwede66 02:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not an admin, but I read Japanese and am familiar with this editing area. Like many regular contributors in this area, this editor prioritizes getting idol articles (at an eye-watering level of detail) into the encyclopedia regardless of notability guidelines or encyclopedic suitability. Sometimes that's fine and it works out okay, but Konoka Matsuda, a recent creation, is a good example of how it doesn't: one unremarkable member of a group with dozens of members, sources all PR churnalism, supposed accomplishments all different promotional activities by the group, actual text mostly lightly reworded and uncredited talk page notice exists, my mistake (Google) translation of obsessively-detailed ja.wp article, etc etc. It really has no business being in the encyclopedia, but a general ignorance of Japanese sources by en.wp editors, combined with a general disinclination on the part of Japanese speakers to engage with these, uh, enthusiastic overseas fans, means it will stick around regardless. I don't care enough to deal with it any more, but I wouldn't recommend further automating the process. Indignant Flamingo (talk) 00:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Thanks, Indignant Flamingo. On the strength of that detailed report, I shall decline the application. Schwede66 01:24, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback. For what it's worth, only seven out of my 32 created articles are on idols, but I admit that the notability of the recent ones (the aforementioned Konoka Matsuda and Suzuka Tomita, which are also the only ones largely translated from ja.wp) might be lacking. I'll strive to be more discerning in the future. PetéWarrior (talk) 06:39, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I first applied for this rank on March 29 and on April 3 my request was denied^link because the pages I had created weren't yet reviewed and I was encouraged to apply again in three months. I know it has only been almost two months, but I'm participating in a translation contest for the Wikiproject Women in Red and I think having this rank would be very useful since I'm creating quite a few pages. Regards and sorry for the inconvenience. Dandilero (talk) 21:58, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

XTools is currently down. We shall come back to this request when it's up and running again. But I shall say that the messages on your talk page make this look promising. Schwede66 01:27, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed many of your recent articles, and I don't mind continuing to do so. Some of them seemed to have a somewhat borderline notability. I think you'll benefit from the extra pair of eyes reviewing your creations. MarioGom (talk) 18:41, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe some of the articles are a bit short, but that's because I'm participating in this contest in order to increase the number of articles about women on Wikipedia. Anyway, I think that all the articles I have created meet the conditions of notability. Dandilero (talk) 11:49, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Being doing manually regex for wrong header section (external links instead of references). Already did over two thousands in a couple of weeks (check my contribs), also double checked the results and split the wrong headers into two when they had mixed content (especially on the last 3 years articles). I saw there were no such cases of splitting headers going further back, just normal regex and so there's no use for a manually action anymore, it could be done automatically to quickening these regexs, and looking around i've found the AWB tool, which i've already checked on his manual of use, technical and rules of use, and it seems pretty much what i was looking for. Also i like the step by step process, so i can still double check the results one by one. Cheers Opencross (talk) 16:09, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to do specific tasks in a way that is both automated and supervised (i.e. I review the edits before they are performed), and I think that AWB would be faster to configure than writing a bot task with the same purpose.

I have been editing since 2003, and have started over 500 articles, some of which have gone on to achieve FA or GA status. For the past year or so, I have occasionally reviewed articles listed under AfC, and, as a result, have also engaged with other editors about how to improve proposed articles or why the articles do not yet meet inclusion criteria. I am a Wikimedia UK-accredited trainer, and so also have experience of advising new editors on creating and improving content, whether in-person, online in real-time, or, asynchronously, via Talk pages, etc. I have, I think, managed to remain civil through all of my engagements with other Wikipedians, new or existing, and believe that I can maintain that approach in NPR.

Requesting the rights as my temporary PM rights expired after 3 months. In the first 2 months, I significantly contributed in the RM space and made a number of closes. So far, I hadn't run into any kind of trouble or disagreements with my moves and closes. As of late, I regularly monitored, "New users moving page out of userspace" tag in which the suppress redirect right was particularly helpful. In May, however, my activity dropped significantly due to my final examinations, which are due to end on 7th June, upon which I intend to return to my past activity levels, and thus need this right.

To allow me to move pages directly to draftspace when reviewing new articles. Also to allow me to move pages for uncontroversial renames or when a discussion has concluded they need to be renamed. ––FormalDude talk 01:54, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently working on cleaning up articles related to Burkina Faso and there's a lot of outdated spellings/terminology as well as numerous misspellings that cause pages needing to be moved frequently. One of the most common misspellings is Burkinabé instead of the correct Burkinabè. 65sugg (talk) 01:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

65sugg, this won't be approved because you don't have much editing experience, but as a separate issue from your request for the page move right, both the grave and the acute are used in reliable sources in English (and in French). You may be right about changing the titles of these pages, but it would be better to gain consensus for moves using WP:RM rather than moving these away from stable titles unilaterally. Moving them by yourself may result in things becoming less systematic or many moves simply being reverted. It looks like you have also moved articles by cut-and-paste in the past, which should be avoided. Dekimasuよ! 06:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! My reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights is because I was looking through the pending changes and I wanted to approve one of them. Reviewing pending changes is also something I can do whilst i am bored. Thank you! Cherrell410 (talk) 22:29, 28 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I done copyright, BLP, and vandalism editing and believe I have an adequate understanding of policy regarding these. And I find my lack of this permission obstructs my improvement of the encyclopedia from time to time. Pabsoluterince (talk) 01:10, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have made over 2,600 edits since I became active editor. I have several pages under my watch list which in particular are of South Asian history and religions. I have dealt with numerous vandalism on several pages. I have read the wiki policies.

I have been patrolling the RecentChanges for three months now, gaining rollback rights earlier this month, meaning I understand what is and isn't vandalism. I would like to review the pending changes in addition to the anti-vandalism work, perhaps even in addition to it. ~~ lol1VNIO (I made a mistake? talk to me • contribs) 19:14, 31 May 2022 (UTC); edited 19:22, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to request pending changes reviewer rights as I've been an editor for some time now and have a good track record of reverting vandalism and reviewing edits made by others in line with wiki policies.

I'm requesting PCR rights as I would like to review acceptable pending edits. I patrol recent changes here, and even more on a few other wikis. As a patroller elsewhere, I have already been into such stuff and I believe I have a decent experience against vandalism to distinguish it from non-vandal edits. —Svārtava (t/u) • 14:11, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done I reviewed your contributions and found little to no recent anti-vandalism work. If you're still interested in this tool then please spend a few weeks patrolling RecentChanges (Twinkle & RedWarn can help with that) before reapplying. Also, please start warning editors when you revert their edits. Thanks, FASTILY 04:27, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I would like to try again requesting this permission. I requested a few of weeks ago although was rejected. The rejection administrator, told me to start patrolling recent changes, and I have done a little bit of work on there and warned a few disruptive users although twinkle is very hard to use for me because I don’t have a computer I was using desktop version on my phone and the buttons were very small, and I did make a mistake one time. I also contacted the same administrator for advice and they suggested joining the counter vandalism unit although I had trouble doing it. If I had the Wikipedia rollback permission, I would be able to patrol changes with advanced mode on my phone and then warn the user with user warning templates. Again, sorry if I shouldn’t be sending requests so soon after rejection, I just feel that if I had the permission I would be able to operate far more intuitively. Thank you Blanchey (talk) 13:34, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
