    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.
    • Temporary account IP viewer (add request · view requests): IP masking is coming to the English Wikipedia in September 2025. To prepare for this, non-admins may request access to view temporary account data.

    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:Yoblyblob

    Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The sourcing provided here does not appear to meet WP:NORG, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Can you provide sources that establish the notability of this organization? voorts (talk/contributions) 22:22, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree some of the sourcing used is WP:CORPTRIV — the foundation has extensive coverage in Korea. I've just added some stronger pieces. The pre/post interview text in this Forbes feature is one with significant secondary coverage. CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk) 05:24, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I have created more than 25 non redirect articles within the past few weeks and 53 non redirects overall. The two mainspace ones that have been deleted were by my own request, thanks to a slip of the "Publish changes" button. Aside from those, all have been approved by the adminteam. I would greatly be thankful to receive this permission. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 17:56, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:TinaLees-Jones

    I have created over 650 new articles and hope to continue contributing to Wikipedia and knowledge sharing. TinaLees-Jones (talk) 03:38, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: I checked three of TinaLees-Jones's recently-created articles at random. One had not yet been reviewed, so I reviewed it and found a significant issue with source-text integrity. I recommend waiting for her reply here before this request is actioned.
    Separately, some of her articles have been nominated for deletion; it's hard to tell exactly how many, since her user talk page is archived by a bot, but the archives are not linked. One was recently deleted and one ended in no consensus. (I believe I have !voted in AfDs on her articles, presumably mostly to keep, but I can't tell because of the weird archiving.) I do think the vast majority of articles she creates are unquestionably notable, mostly on variations of NPOL, but as some have been questioned recently I'm not sure if granting AP now is appropriate. Toadspike [Talk] 13:35, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done. TinaLees-Jones, thanks for your contribution closing coverage gaps on Wikipedia! To get autopatrolled there shouldn't be any issues with sourcing anymore in new creations. Could you please set up archiving in a more standard manner? It's difficult to find information (relevant to giving out permissions) when each archive contains just a single discussion. Thanks! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 16:36, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Shahnamk

    Hello,

    I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created around 30 well-sourced, policy-compliant articles on the English Wikipedia.

    In addition to my contributions here, I am an administrator (sysop) on the Persian Wikipedia (fa.wikipedia), where I have been active for many years, focusing on content creation, vandalism control, and community support.

    Granting this right would help reduce the workload of new page patrollers, as my article creations usually meet Wikipedia’s quality standards.

    Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

    Best regards, Shahnamk (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Sweetabena

    Hello,

    I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I’ve created several articles, many of which are currently live and meet Wikipedia’s guidelines on notability and reliable sourcing.

    I’m familiar with the key content policies such as WP:N, WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:NPOV, and consistently apply them when creating or editing articles.

    I understand that this permission is intended to reduce the workload of new page reviewers by marking trusted users’ pages as reviewed automatically, and I believe my contributions demonstrate the consistency and policy alignment expected for this role.

    I have not received any blocks or serious warnings, and I’m committed to continuing constructive, policy-compliant editing.

    Thank you for your time and consideration. Sweetabena (talk) 23:39, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi @Sweetabena: I’ve gone through some of the articles you’ve created, including Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy. I noticed that these pages have been tagged for AI-generated content (WP:LLM). Could you please clarify this? Additionally, the article on Bright Owusu has a notability issue. Have you made any efforts to address or fix that? I also noticed that most of your articles are about politicians or MPs, which is generally a relatively easier area for a New Page Patroller. Regards! Baqi:) (talk) 12:15, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi @Jannatulbaqi,
    Thanks for your response and for reviewing my request.
    I've now gone through the articles you mentioned; Daniel Dung Mahama, Simon Akibange Aworigo, Anabah Thomas Winsum, and Nikyema Billa Alamzy and made revisions to ensure they fully reflect a human-authored tone, improve clarity, and adhere to Wikipedia’s content policies. I manually wrote these articles based on reliable sources, and I’ve taken extra care to revise any sections that might have appeared too generic or AI-like in style.
    Regarding Bright Owusu, I realized that the subject is better known publicly as “C-Confion,” which is the name used in most reliable sources. I initially created a redirect page under that name, and since C-Confion better reflects WP:COMMONNAME, I’ve submitted a technical move request at WP:RM/TR to move the article accordingly.
    While many of my articles are in the political space, I’ve focused on that area because it's typically easier to demonstrate notability. That said, I’m open to expanding into other areas and continuing to improve the range and quality of my contributions.
    I appreciate your time and consideration, and I remain committed to constructive, policy-compliant editing. Thank you so much.Sweetabena (talk) 21:05, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think answers the implicit question, Sweetabena, which is "did you use AI" in the first place? Also, I confess parts of your comment seem a little LLM-y particularly and made revisions to ensure they fully reflect a human-authored tone, improve clarity, and adhere to Wikipedia’s content policies. I manually wrote these articles based on reliable sources, and I’ve taken extra care to revise any sections that might have appeared too generic or AI-like in style, although the misuse of the semicolon before the list of articles looks like a legit human error. Please divulge the extent to which you have used AI in your editing. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 00:14, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Cremastra Yes, I have used ChatGPT to assist with drafting some article content. However, I review, fact-check, and revise it to ensure it maintains a human-authored standard and aligns with Wikipedia's content policies. I see AI as a support tool, not a replacement for editorial responsibility.Sweetabena (talk) 05:19, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    As a part of Wikipedia: Tambayan Philippines and the Music Task Force, I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created over 25 articles, most of which are currently live and have been built with careful attention to WP:N, WP:V, and reliable sourcing.

    Had my first AP request declined due to my poor judgement with notability of railway stations. I've learned from that mistake (and cleaned up after myself), and I've created articles like Expo 2025 pavilions (Although this was a collaboration with Epicgenius) and Magical Girl Witch Trials since my request was declined.

    User:Toadboy123

    Toadboy123 has created 193 articles of consistently high quality; none have been deleted, while quite a few have gone through DYK and appeared on the Main Page, often with excellent hooks. I do not think we need to keep reviewing their creations.

    Toadboy123 was warned twice for copyright violations by Diannaa in 2022, but she and I have both taken a look at several articles created since then and haven't found further issues (discussed here, after which I spot checked six recent creations). Additionally, DYK checks each nomination for copyright violations. Thus, I believe they have taken that feedback to heart. Toadspike [Talk] 12:52, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Hi, since four years ago, I have started over two dozen meticulously crafted articles, which are free of issues. Most of these are Japan or Shinto-related, and are primarily about geographical features and historical figures. There was only one draftified article from a while ago, which I quickly learned from and have since created only notable topics with sufficient sources. I'm familiar with Wikipedia's core policies and copyvio guidelines. Yenistardom (talk) 06:56, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Queenofboston

    I have created more than 25 articles, over several years. I learnt over time to understand the notability criteria well. My new pages do not require attention from patrollers. Only one page I created is marked as deleted (it was recreated under a slightly different name). I have overall over 1000 edits. Thank you for the consideration. Queenofboston (talk) 12:24, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Queenofboston: Thank you for your contributions. Spot-checking one of your creations at random, Michelle Meagher, indicated direct copying from a source (report) and non-neutral prose ("Meagher was confronted with a crisis of consciousness", also closely paraphrased from the source). I'll leave a message on your talk page with more information about copyright considerations on Wikipedia, and I would recommend reading about the encyclopedic tone that should be used in articles. For these reasons, I don't think autopatrolled would be appropriate for you at the moment. Please let me know if you have any questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:13, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @TechnoSquirrel69 the article you singled out for copyright issues was published in 2024. The Michelle Meagher Wikipedia entry was created by me in 2023 with the contested phrase in it. So the 2024 article copied the 2023 Wikipedia page not the other way round. I did not infringe any copyright of the 2024 article as it did not exist at the time of the page creation. Queenofboston (talk) 18:02, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not seeing a date on the Green European Journal page, although it was only archived in the Wayback Machine in 2024. Even leaving that aside, though, there remain the issues of neutrality and close paraphrasing.
    I looked at another one of your creations for more information. Your most recent one, Aline Blankertz, has statements without citations, and doesn't demonstrate the subject's notability — the existing sources are either primary sources, like interviews or podcast appearances, or don't have significant coverage of the subject. However, I will note that I found no copyright-related issues here. I maintain that it would be beneficial for your creations to get a once-over from new pages patrol. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:52, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The information you flagged as missing citation was contained in the sources cited immediately prior, I now double-cite them in the two instances you flagged.
    I am not saying that my pages cannot be improved but my pages bring additions to Wikipedia. I focus on women as it is an objective of Wikipedia to re-balance the coverage away from a bias favoring pages of men Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, I believe this is valuable contribution. There are profiles of Aline Blankertz in leading German media outlets, only one source is a podcast and it is produced by an established German media outlet, that is a valid source in my understanding, it is not a podcast produced by the subject. None of the sources in that article are authored by the subject of the article. My pages do not have copyrights issues, as now clarified. I use some sources in foreign languages but it is not the policy of Wikipedia to disregard or downgrade sources that are in foreign languages for purposes of notability.

    User:Particleshow22

    I've been editing for more than 2 years now, and I noticed recently that reviews take longer than before. I was shocked by the workload waiting reviewers here. Besides my editing experience expanding and improving articles, I created and published 77 articles. For 2 years, only 1 out of 78 articles I created was deleted. I created 4 B-class articles, 37 C-class articles, 15 Start-class articles, and 2 Stubs.

    I believe having autopatrolled rights would reduce the review burden on NPP volunteers, as my articles typically include proper sourcing, formatting, and categories from creation. Particleshow22 (talk) 13:41, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    User:EF5

    I frequently write articles (most of which nowadays are above start-class and I aim for GA on all of my tornado articles) so maybe having this right would help patrollers. The only article of mine that was AfD’d this year that I can remember is Casualties of the 2011 Super Outbreak (which was deemed to still have some useful info in it that was merged into 2011 Super Outbreak). I don't think any of my last 100-or-so articles are orange-tagged, although I don't frequently check them if they aren't being improved.

    User:Julietdeltalima

    I attempt whenever possible to correct article titles to sentence case when necessary, but am frequently unable to do so because of the existence of a single-edit redirect. I've been advised at "Requested moves" just to ask for the pagemover right already after 75,000 edits in nearly 11 years.

    A perfect current example: Sweet and Sour Pork, which I can't move to Sweet and sour pork without requesting the move and making someone else do my work for me.

    Thanks for your consideration! Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Note that Sweet and Sour Pork and Sweet and sour pork was actually unfortunately not a great example to make a case for page mover permissions - on review, you’ll find that there is a a long history at the latter as it was merged to Sweet and sour in 2013, as well as a whole mess as the former was (re-)created as a move from Gu Lao Rou, which in turn was only created in 2024 as a manual fork of Sweet and sour.
    So what we have here is now a pretty mess of “admin required” for histmerge as well as a few “{{copied from}}” on the relevant talk pages and review of the page edit histories to make sure attributions are placed as needed. I’ll copy this over to RM/TR, since I can’t action on the admin required histmerge review. (Edit): posted at RMTR. Raladic (talk) 07:33, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like to request reviewer rights and help flag vandalism across Wikipedia. I believe in Wikipedia’s core mission of neutrality, reliability, and free access to knowledge. I aim to contribute by reviewing pages for quality and sourcing, and to help maintain article integrity by countering vandalism. I have studied Wikipedia's policies on verifiability, notability, and civility, and am eager to support content moderation. Thank you for considering my request.

    User:Camilasdandelions

    Hello, I want to receive a rollback right because there are a lot of editors who add informations but not citing sources. Usually, they do not add unsourced informations at once, but they add them by multiple times. There are also edits violating MoS or Wikipedia policies. And I have struggled with reverting all of them one by one, so I decided to request a right for rollback. Thank you. Camilasdandelions (talk!) 03:56, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm not as active as I'd like to be, but still do work (drawer an occasional sock, clean up vandalism, etc) which would be impacted by not having access to IPs. JayCubby 02:14, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Could you post a few diffs showing your sock and or vandalism work? Thanks. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:24, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Rsjaffe, looks like the last time I filed a case at SPI was in (late) April. [4].
    Example countervandalism is this diff, from a week ago. here
    @HouseBlaster, it was a fairly standard loutsock a while back. Nothing I'm too proud of, but my psychiatrist thinks the underlying mental health issues have mostly been resolved. As for why there're five tickets, I can't say. JayCubby 02:03, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    For the record, LOUTSOCKing wasn't the issue here; it was creating a bad hand account that was used to impersonate an LTA. --Blablubbs (talk) 16:15, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not going to accept or decline this request, but can you also comment on your own socking? (Admins, see UTRS:96920 and the five other UTRS appeals linked therein.) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 02:32, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I am going to mark this as  Not done. Per Blablubbs, you were indeffed for GHBH LTA impersonation -- so much so that you were even globally locked for seven months until last November. This is not remotely "fairly standard loutsock[ing]", and the fact you describe it as such indicates to me that more time is needed before you are granted permissions.

    I am a non-admin edit filter manager that would benefit from this right when tracking LTAs (specifically the ones tracked by 1161 and 1343). I technically already have access to this right because of my temporary grant of GAFH, but would like this right permanently on enwiki as I will benefit from this right even after my GAFH right expires.

    I have a fairly large watchlist where encountering vandalism comes with the territory, as well as where there are articles with very persistent sockpuppets and LTA's. I do my best to counter these when they pop up and I think this right will help in terms of continuing that when this change to accounts rolls out.
