    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 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): Temporary account IP viewers are able to view the IP address information associated with temporary accounts.

    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 the 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:Tatupiplu

    I have created around 43 articles, mostly about insects and other species. I plan to continue contributing and creating new articles every week. It would be great if I could be granted autopatrolled rights, as this would help reduce the workload for NPP reviewers. Tatupiplu’(she/her · talk · email) 07:20, 12 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @Tatupiplu: your one biography article is missing citations (Vladimír Balthasar). Could you also explain Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gayathripuram Educational & Charitable Trust? voorts (talk/contributions) 20:29, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    @voorts: Thanks for pointing this out. I have now fixed Vladimír Balthasar by adding better citations and correcting the death-date sourcing issue. Regarding Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gayathripuram Educational & Charitable Trust, that was one of my early article creations from 2020. Looking back, I agree with the AfD outcome. At the time I misunderstood the subject as essentially a school/primary-school article, but the discussion correctly treated it as a charitable organization, where the cited material did not establish notability. The sources were mainly a government/NGO listing, the organization’s own material, and local event listings, which may verify some facts but do not provide the independent significant coverage needed for WP:GNG / WP:ORGDEPTH.
    I would not create that article today without independent, reliable secondary coverage. My more recent creations are mostly species/insect articles, and I now focus on keeping new pages narrowly written, reliably sourced, neutral, and verifiable.

    User:Animaliak

    Prolific article creator with Women in Red. I spot-checked their recent creations for notability, copyright hygiene, and text–source integrity, and found no issues. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:18, 13 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @Animaliak: why is Jholerina Brinnette Timbo notable? I'm not seeing any significant coverage cited in the article. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:36, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Also Jordan Chanetsa. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:38, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello. I think both of them are significant figures in the LGBTQ community in their respective home countries (both of which lack legal and social protections for transgender people, which can make it more difficult to find sources from the country about them). I would say that there is significant coverage in at least some of the sources cited - Jholerina had obituaries published in Mamba Online (a regional LGBTQ news websites) and by several human rights organisations, while Chanetsa's work has been covered in German cultural media. I do 100% agree that there is a lack of coverage among mainstream outlets, but given what I have said about the lack of coverage on particularly transgender people in southern Africa, I still think they are notable people deserving of articles with some sources that are significant available; of course, I am always happy to search the web for more. Animaliak (talk) 08:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, voorts, I agree these two have somewhat more tenuous notability cases than the ones I spot-checked. I think I'll leave this nomination open for an administrative decision anyway, since most of their other creations seem to be solid. Animaliak, I would keep in mind moving forward that interviews, as primary sources not independent of the subject, cannot be used to establish notability. Additionally, if you are granted autopatrolled, I would encourage you to unreview articles with marginal notability cases (via the button that would appear in your toolbar) to attract a second opinion from a new page patroller. (Non-administrator comment) —TechnoSquirrel69 (talk) 04:49, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks - that’s a fair point, on reflection re-looking at my page for Jordan Chanetsa I can see I’ve been overly reliant on interviews - I do think she herself is worthy of a Wikipedia article, but I need to put aside some time to prove that by finding better sources. Always good to learn and develop. Thanks for considering me anyway! Animaliak (talk) 05:17, 19 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
     Not done Given the notability concerns raised, I think your creations would benefit from continued review for the time being. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:11, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:CharlieMehta

    I am requesting restoration of the autopatrolled user right. It was revoked on 4 December 2025 when I was blocked in connection with an SPI investigation led by Moneytrees. Later, I was unblocked on 11 December 2025 and was advised to spend a few months doing uncontroversial work before requesting the right again. asilvering also advised against reapplying too soon. I followed this advice and waited approximately six months before making this request. Since my unblock, I have focused on uncontroversial editing and have created 22 new articles, most of which were successfully reviewed (Total: 85 articles, 2 deleted). I would appreciate having the right restored so that my new page creations no longer require manual review. In support of this request, I am linking to the most recent comment by Moneytrees. I respectfully ask that this request be evaluated on its own merits and based on my editing record since my unblock. Thank you.

    User:Mintcookie810

    I have created 25 articles, most of which are regarding historical figures, and some about historical monuments. I plan to continue to frequently create more articles in the future. I would like to be granted the auto patrol right so that the workload of NPP reviewers is reduced. I appreciate any feedback regarding quality, notability and the compliance of my articles to the Wikipedia guidelines. Mintcookie810 (talk) 09:09, 18 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done @Mintcookie810, the autopatrolled criteria requires you to show that you understand WP:BLP, but you haven't made any BLP edits. I'm also concerned by recent AFC rejections.
    This isn't required for AP, but I've noticed that you don't add citations to page numbers and that you create multiple duplicate references. Since you cite a lot of books, you may want to switch to using shortened footnotes. See, for example, a recent article I created, Terry Leonard. Providing page numbers is important so that other editors can verify citations and readers know where to look. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:29, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Dog Oxide, could you comment on your review of mHUB? What was your thought process and procedure? signed, Rosguill talk 03:10, 3 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Apologies for the very delayed response, I was traveling with family and had both little time and poor access to a stable internet connection. If I recall correctly, I may have been confused on what the status of the page was given its contested notability. One user had it tagged, then untagged, then tagged again for notability, and at that point it seemed like it had a decent number of 3rd-party sources that mentioned it. I also checked for copyvio of course, and after all was said and done I decided to mark it as reviewed. In my mind, if it ultimately ended up being decided as having insufficient notability, the article would be nominated for deletion anyways. DoO2 15:16, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:AZenit3

    OK, I've reviewed what I was told at my last request. I now have over 200 mainspace edits. I've tried singing up to CVU/A, and now I'm just waiting. Requesting rollback permissions to try AntiVandal, Interceptor, and Huggle. And everything else. Patrolling RecentChanges seems to be the only thing I do nowadays, and I would like rollback to be able to fight vandals better. AZenit3 [Chat?-stuff I've done] 01:47, 25 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Been patrolling recent changes for some time now with Twinkle, and I would like to try using more advanced tools like Huggle which require this permission. TheNerdzilla (talk) 13:45, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Retro music11

    I've been using Twinkle for reporting potential SPs, creating deletion discussions and for notifying new users of unsourced edits. I'm requesting permission to the rollback tool as it'd assist me in reverting vandalism and malicious edits. Retro music11 (talk) 20:47, 30 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:BlackJack

    Hello. I have rollback in my account at Simple Wikipedia. Having tried this evening to counter the activities of ~2026-33439-05 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I think it would be useful to have rollback here too. I work almost exclusively on cricket articles at present, and it is a subject that frequently attracts vandals. Thanks. Jack (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:A Random Hylian

    Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been doing RC patrol for the last while, and would like rollback to be able to more efficiently fight vandalism. I understand that my changes that I make while using this tool are my responsibility. signed, A Random Hylian (Parry)(swing) 12:26, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Wikipedian12512(alt)

    Hello! I'd like rollback if I ever come across vandalism (I see some as a PCR). I check recent changes almost every day, but mostly all the cases of vandalism get reverted by capable rollbakcers. As far as I can tell, this is the best way (and I think you need this for interceptor, which really seems to make it better). Thanks!

    User:FlammablePizza

    I've been patrolling recent changes frequently. While my account is still somewhat new (and I took a short break last week), I do have 566 edits so far - mainly involving reverting vandalism (but I have also wrote new articles, reported users, participated in afd, and improved articles). I always warn users after I revert their edits. Ever since I have gained access to Twinkle, it has made patrolling so much easier. I would like rollback permissions to be able to use the antivandal and interceptor tools too. Those tools would make reverting much more efficent.

    User:Streetr4

    I've been patrolling Special:RecentChanges for a couple months now. I consistently notify editors after reverting their edits (for vandalism or otherwise). Rollback permissions would be useful as I would no longer have edit conflicts with vandals and I could use tools such as Interceptor. Streetr4 (talk) 05:23, 21 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:BlackJack

    There have been three or four times in recent months when I've needed to request changes to template wordings or parameters. These have all been related to cricket, in which I've become moreorless a specialist. It would therefore be useful if I could make such changes myself. I have the necessary technical capability, in both the WP and professional spheres, and I am well aware of the needs for interface awareness and testing. Please ping me if you have any questions. Thank you. Jack (talk) 18:29, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done, I'm only seeing one pending and two declined TPER (one from 2016), so declining for lack of need (being occasionally inconvenienced by TPER requests is not sufficient in and of itself to indicate need for the tools). You do have plenty of cricket-related template edits but they all seem to be on not-template-protected pages. Primefac (talk) 23:24, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Insanityclown1

    Would like to be able to check for signs of loutsocking on articles. I have suspicions that someone has done some very slow loutsocking on the article for Nathan Vasquez for example. Insanityclown1 (talk) 03:34, 12 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    @Insanityclown1: I'm not sure how this perm would help identify LOUTSOCKing? It can compare temporary accounts to one another, which can detect when one person is operating multiple temporary accounts, but it can't connect temporary accounts to registered editors, which is what would show LOUTSOCKing. Can you please clarify? Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 04:07, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps not the correct use of the term loutsocking, but what I was referring to is it appears that the same person is using multiple temporary accounts to insert the same diatribe. Insanityclown1 (talk) 04:41, 18 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding Nathan Vasquez (lawyer), this permission would not help in cases where edits are this stale/far apart. IP address information is deleted when a temporary account expires 90 days after the edit is made. -- Reconrabbit (talk) 16:35, 20 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:ErnestKrause

    Request permission for use of TAIV and TAIVDISCLOSE with special concern for doing complete and thorough SPI-related background checks. Presently, for the past 2-3 weeks my account appears to have been watchlisted by a user associated with multiple temp accounts who appears to be verging upon disruptive editing. The temp accounts have also moved into personal attacks labeling my account as 'demented' and 'incompetent', etc. The growing list of multiple accounts involved in this have included: Special:Contributions/~2026-28259-76, and Special:Contributions/~2026-92659-0, and Special:Contributions/~2026-86111-3, and Special:Contributions/~2026-28744-62 among others. The present background check using these tools would allow me to start the pre-investigation of cross-checking the source(s) of this type of disruptive editing and to double check on any regular accounts which might further be associated with these multiple temporary accounts. I've read the Wikipedia policy pages associated with this tool and understand that all the transactions will be logged and subject to examination and review by sysops. ErnestKrause (talk) 11:36, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    Absolutely not. You are explicitly asking for this right in order to gain ground in a content dispute. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 02:34, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    For context, see User talk:Asilvering#Your experience level at Wikipedia. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 02:39, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Your request was for me to prepare and file a CheckUser because of personal attacks against my account from multiple Temp accounts; TAIV appears to be one way to find the person making personal attacks? ErnestKrause (talk) 04:49, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I said that you cannot continue to allege that the TAs are WP:LOUTSOCKing without evidence, and that if you have evidence you should file a report at WP:SPI. You cannot use TAIV against accounts with which you are currently in an acrimonious dispute. In solidarity, asilvering (talk) 05:26, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    The purpose of doing TAIV here was to inform sysops of the Temp accounts misconduct. His labeling other editors with his own pejorative langauge and calling them 'demented' seems to cross the line, as he has done with both C.Fred and myself. If this is a Temp account conduct issue, then you appear to say that the CheckUser issue is not the correct one to pursue at this time. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:15, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Nohomersryan

    I track articles related to recent deaths, and frequently encounter IP editors adding unsourced deaths to pages. I request this permission because I often encounter malicious hoaxers and the temporary accounts have made them difficult to pin down. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1193#Serial_failed_verification_from_dynamic_IP for stuff I'm talking about. Just today I reverted a few death edits that may be connected to another hoaxer, but I'm not able to determine with my current permissions. (There are also times where an IP makes a legitimate death edit that I can use as a reference, such as Special:Contributions/~2026-33988-59 which I noticed and added to the deaths in 2026 page, but with temporary accounts it's harder to track who is being genuine.) I agree to use the permission solely for this occasional purpose and not to disclose any data. Nohomersryan (talk) 12:29, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
