Requests for permissions |
---|
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
User groups
- Account creator ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 quick guide 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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 ( • 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-wp
wikipedia.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.

- Autopatrolled is for editors who produce "clean" articles that don't need patrolling. By definition, that means that those articles should not have maintenance templates placed. So if there are templates, that's a problem. Therefore my question – do you have any intentions about improving the article so that the maintenance template can go? Schwede66 21:42, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, I do, along with the intention to regularly check all of my articles and do the same to them. And another issue like the one at Ashwarya won't happen again. versacespaceleave a message! 22:08, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

- I have made around 1500 edits and created around 50 articles in the last few months, of which one was promoted to a WP:GA with a DYK (and I am working on various others), so I think I'm reasonable familiar with the policies and guidelines of Wikipedia. The Grsecurity article I made was incorrectly speedily deleted in my opinion, but I never took the effort of starting a deletion review which was recommended by the deleting admin (I added sources to meet WP:GNG for which it was deleted, but it wasn't too different from the original article, so it was speedied). I'm familiar with WP:V, WP:C, WP:N and WP:BLP (I have created 4 biographies). I would like to become an autopatrolling user so I can help the NPP team.

- A new page patroller (Kj cheetham) suggested that I apply for auto-patroller status now that I have started more than 25 articles. I feel I have a good handle on WP:BLP, WP:VER, and WP:NOTE (especially WP:PROF), and that I have been able to apply these guidelines as I develop new pages. I feel like I can produce new pages that do not need manual review by NPP, and thus help reduce the burden on NPP. DaffodilOcean (talk) 18:31, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

- Rodney Araujo Do you have any specific tasks you plan on performing or do you just plan on using built in fixes? If you plan on adding significant amounts of maintenance templates I think it would be good to note that hasn't always been completely uncontroversial which can be read about in essays such as WP:TAGBOMBING. I'm also somewhat concerned about some of the things on your talk pages, especially since you often don't answer to concerns expressed there which is especially important when doing high volume editing as is done with AWB. --Trialpears (talk) 21:55, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

- Owain are you aware of the local bot policy and AWB rules? Bots should only edit following a request for approval which I've seen you've made but not transcluded to the main page at Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/CountyBot. AWB access for a possible bot would be given out by the closer of the request for approval. On another note I would advise you to be very careful when using AWB for tasks that are contentious, even when there's been an discussion about it which wasn't closed. Objections to AWB runs have gotten real messy in the past. --Trialpears (talk) 11:03, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

- I believe I may have had access long ago (~2008) but it would have lapsed. AWB would be useful for doing small semi-automated tasks that don't rise to the level of requiring a bot+BRFA, or any task where manual checking of edits would be warranted. firefly ( t · c ) 18:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation. There are other ones, but that is the first that came to my mind, for which I really wanted to edit I remember it had some problems to be fixed. By that time I did not meet the 500 edits, requirement however.
- Joujyuze (talk) 11:27, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

- I have been on the English Wikipedia for almost two years. And during this period I have learned to review articles.

That's why I missed it. –– 𝚅𝚁𝙹𝙱𝚊𝚗𝚍𝚑𝚞 02:21, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

I don't usually engage in move disucssions unless they relate to my editing areas of interest, but I always refer to policy in those discussions. My recent move history shows understanding of the policies involved in page moving.

- I have made over 4,000 edits to Wikipedia; a great deal of those are reverting vandalism (I have rollback btw). I am very familiar with the policy of what vandalism is and isn't. I've read all the basic content policies and understand them well, as well as the guideline of reviewing. I would love to have this permission because I care very much about keeping Wikipedia a reliable place, free of vandalism and other bad things. The pending changes reviewing right would help me continue to defend it. Helen (let’s talk) 00:58, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

- I have little experience relevant to granting pending changes reviewer status, so I'll leave it to an administrator with more experience in this area to decide. However, my feeling is that yo are not ready for the right, because your own editing contains frequent errors of kinds that suggest you would not be able to assess whether other editors' edits are appropriate.

- I am a (recently granted) rollbacker who frequently reverts vandalism. I understand the basic policies, and would like PCR permissions to help with reviewing pending changes. - AssumeGoodWraith (talk | contribs) 15:02, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

- I have been a member of Wikipedia for 13 years and like to view edits, improve pages, and I think I would be efficient at it. I have rollback rights and I constantly check to make sure pages are not vandalized. I have carefully read the guidelines and I would love to help.

- On May 18, 2021, I was granted Rollback rights as a one-month trial. The trial expired 6 days ago, and I would like to receive Rollback rights indefinitely. Thanks. (Note that I was not able to use Rollback that much or edit much at all over the trial due to school, so there won't be a very long list of rollbacks. I completely understand if I get declined because of a lack of rollbacking history to judge if I used the tool well or not.) ~ 🌀HurricaneCovid🌀 02:01, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:20, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

- @Primefac: Request for TE renewal. I've made reasonable use of the TE right, answering some edit requests and so on.

- Yes apologies for the inconvenience caused there. After monitoring Category:Pages where post-expand include size is exceeded for a while I thought it would be helpful to make a pre-emptive bit of maintenance and use more modules directly, particularly with navboxes and infoboxes, rather than waiting for pages to break. As Izno mentioned there, there had been some discussion broadly in favour of such usage (although not of course for my specific bit of bulk editing) and I thought it seemed like reasonably harmless and uncontroversial cleanup.
- Re-reading the discussion it does seem to have been mostly the naming that was in dispute. While I get Izno's point that the syntax
{{#invoke:Infobox3cols||args...}}
might be a bit cryptic, I had specifically set up the doc page to show exactly how to use the module so I do feel that I had done my best there. User:GKFXtalk 21:54, 5 June 2021 (UTC) - I see the naming functions the empty string thing as a good faith thing thought to be uncontroversial and wouldn't hold it against them at all. While I agree it is a bad design choice and was rightly reverted we all make mistakes. The other edits of theirs that I've seen look good, but that's far from comprehensive. --Trialpears (talk) 22:09, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
