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.
| This version of the page may not reflect the most current changes. Please purge this page to view the most recent changes. |
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): 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:
- 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 email to 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 autopatrol list: Addition to the list is granted by administrators at Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect autopatrol list.
- Steward permissions can only be granted in yearly elections, and are rarely given.
- Election clerk has no process for requesting it; admins can grant it sua sponte to themselves or other admins.
- Global permissions such as global renamer, sysop, IP block exempt, rollback, etc. should be made at meta:Steward requests/Global permissions.
Review and removal of permissions
The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:
- If you wish to have any of your permissions removed, contact an administrator
- To request a review of another editor's use of a permission, use administrative action review
- If you believe someone's actions merit removal of a permission, raise your concern at the administrator's noticeboard
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
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.

Hello, I'd like to request autopatrolled rights, seeing as I've made 32 mainspace articles, none of which are stubs (I do not rate my own created pages). Thus far, I've focused on creating pages related to music, most of which pertain to WP:Albums. Thanks, Fundgy (talk) 06:10, 9 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! I was recently recommended by Aszx5000 on my talk page to apply for Autopatrolled permission. I have made about 6,700 edits and authored 88 articles and counting, which I always aim to publish at C or B class quality. I believe I have a strong understanding of relevant policy which I'm always striving to improve, and am always open to feedback and correction. Cheers! Johnson524 07:19, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

I've noticed B33tle's profilic creation of species-related pages (over 500 in the past 2 weeks), particularly beetle related pages. All of these seem excellent, and I have no doubts B33tle will do well with this permission (while also reducing the load on new page reviewers). All their contributions have been in line with the recent village pump discussion regarding their mass edits (3+ reliable sources, limiting to ~100 per day, following up with discussions on talk page), further bolstering my confidence in them. I'd also encourage them to consider Auto Wiki Browser permissions, if it would benefit them. Signed, Guessitsavis (she/they) Talk 13:24, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- Note this July 2025 request, which was originally made for their previous account BlaUser234. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 20:04, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- @B33tleMania12; I want your input here since you have community consensus to create beetle articles at a rate much higher that WAID gave very good guidance to not create at that rate with the Autopatrolled flag. I see your talk page message that you like still being patrolled but wouldn't mind patrolled if NPPers want it to happen, but I also know you're enjoying your beetle creation at the rate that VPP allowed.
- Note to other admins; B33tleMania had a CCI request in October that I subsequently declined for a lack of systemic issues. I do not believe that the copyright concerns raised should impact AP consideration as B33tleMania has been very receptive to feedback and has not had any issues since. I know that ignoring copyright concerns in the last 6 months for AP is a bit IAR around perms, so I also won't be offended if an admin decides to not grant on that ground. B33tleMania is a great editor either way. :) Sennecaster (Chat) 06:24, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- Well if it means I cant add at an increased rate, I rather not be autopatrolled to be honest. Also: its a bit of a strange thing: if I am granted the autopatrolled, I am not allowed to create at that pace anymore, making it not that much of an issue to patrol my articles, since the numbers will go down dramatically :) B33tleMania12 (talk) 11:46, 13 December 2025 (UTC)
- @B33tleMania12; I don't think you having AP and the consensus to create beetles at a fast rate is contradictory, but I can see how WAID's words could be taken that way - I misread that discussion myself! Feel free to disregard me there, and apologies for the confusion :) I think the risk here is low and the benefit to NPP is high, personally, so
Done. Sennecaster (Chat) 02:07, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
- Ok, in that case I am totally fine with the autopatrol. I will keep making articles in the same manner. Thank you all! B33tleMania12 (talk) 14:07, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

I have made about 25 articles or so and I believe the articles I make are of a pretty high quality since all get reviewed at some point and have never been AfD'd. Nearly two months ago, I was recommended for this permission by an editor with the NPP permission who stated, "Since you appear trustworthy as an editor seems you may be in the running for autopatrolled rights any week/month from now."[1] I also believe granting me this permission will reduce the backlog for NPP permission holders since my pages will not appear on their backlog for them to need to review.

- @Gjb0zWxOb: Administrators who grant autopatrolled are typically looking for assurance that the nominee can edit independently and without oversight from new pages patrol. Could you comment on why you were blocked from mainspace earlier this year and what, if anything, you've changed about your editing since being unblocked?

- Yes, I was temporarily blocked for not having edit summaries that were descriptive enough and for not being responsive on my talk page in a couple of instances.

Looking in the future, I see myself working in WP Taylor Swift (or generally WP pop music). A fair recent example was when I mass created drafts of songs in Taylor Swift's new album, in which they all followed the same structure and had similar categories. It was very annoying to have to work on all of them one-by-one, and I feel like AWB will help if I meet such an example again. HwyNerd Mike (t | c) 23:05, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

I am a 65 year old student at the University of Kentucky. I unfortunately am also a procrastinator of epic proportions. For my ICT201 class I am supposed to make changes to and add 4 references to any article of my choice. I have researched the topic that I want to add to and have waited until the last minute to do the changes (it is due at midnight tonight).
I have read that I can make 10 edits and be moved up to the level to make changes to the semi-protected page but I have not researched, nor prepared edits to any other pages.
Please move my account to the next level so that I can edit the article and maintain my A in my class.

Done for bot. That said, I want to make it clear that I object to this action. Students should not be above the law - it's their responsibility to comply with both Wikipedia's rules and their class's, and it they find themselves in this sort of dilemma they have nobody to blame but themselves and deserve no special treatment.

Reason for requesting confirmed rights:
This is an alternative account of my main account. The purpose of this account is to legitimately change the wikepedia article relating to the Sudan Civil War and the RSF. My personal identity is Ja'alin Khartoum and I have created this account to anonymously edit the RSF's wikipedia page as a member of the RSF and also a correspondent to BBC.
I am editing this from a colleagues person laptop in Bangalore, India - who's name is Nu'maun. Indian is where I have come to for a few days.
I am also a WP:ECP ---> Extended confirmed protection verified user.
The edit that I will do is as follows:
To the Sudanese Civil War Page: Addition of few extra details that are not being highlighted due to repeated vandalism, I suspect the work of some 3rd party at play here.
Somebody used the refference to breakinglatest.news<ref> https://web.archive.org/web/20240423063939/https://www.breakinglatest.news/news/sudan-reveals-the-arrival-of-new-supplies-to-the-militia-from-the-uae-via-chad/ </ref>, to justify 1,200 four-wheel-drive vehicles, reached to the RSF militia from the UAE. This fact is completely false and the article itself has been deleted by breakinglatest.news which is first of all not a proper relevant source and is a web archive and has faced several backlash for anti-RSF propaganda.
I want to correct this and other relevant details on the page as soon as possible, because I do not know when I will be able to get back access to my personal account and have issues against this account. Jeff Khartoum (talk) 15:51, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

Reason for requesting new page reviewer rights: I am in my third year as a coordinator for the military history project. Having the new page reviewer right will allow me to review and approve/decline articles for creation and new pages in this topic area in particular and help reduce the backlog in general when time permits. I have seen several new pages in military history recently that I could have reviewed and approved. I have been a Wikipedia editor for more than 15 years. I have been active in AfD, speedy deletions and PRODs in past years and some PRODS recently. I have created 134 articles, improved hundreds of other articles and have saved or helped save eight GA articles in recent years. As a coordinator, I have helped and advised several new users in improving and writing articles for the project and on requirements for higher assessments. I was very active in vandalism patrol for several years. I have a clean block record except for a 49-second mistaken block which the administrator immediately reversed after realizing that I was the user reporting the vandalism and not the vandal. Donner60 (talk) 05:36, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
Done: I've approved new page reviewer and page mover permissions on a permanent basis. Donner60 is, as they have demonstrated above, experienced, competent, and trusted with coordination responsibilities for WikiProject Military History. I was shocked to learn Donner60, a fifteen year veteran of the project, had never applied for them. BusterD (talk) 03:13, 15 December 2025 (UTC)

I'm quite interested at trying my hand at reviewing articles in the backlog, and have a reasonably good track record of (a lot of) copyediting, expanding stubs, and (more recently) countering vandalism. I've spent quite a bit of time reviewing various WP policies and guidelines, as well as the MOS, and try to abide by them and act in good faith as often as possible. I have a firm understanding of the principles around notability and sourcing in particular, having created a few articles myself from scratch. Blaithnaid (talk) 21:40, 14 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a trial NPP and AFC reviewer and doing new page patrol requires moving some articles to draft for better improvements as they're not suitable in the main space, it will be more better if I can move articles without leaving redirects. This right would also be helpful for when I close RMs so that I don't need to request the move be performed at WP:RM/TR afterwards, as well as potentially helping out with moves there myself.

I am requesting to be a requested changes reviewer as I got understanding of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Vandalism, Wikipedia:Verifiability. While I may of had multiple articles made by me rejected, this was from a while ago that I don't bother working on when I was absolutely terrible of editing around like 3 months ago. Additionally, I would be happy to work doing reviewing changes and checking it at least every day. Additionally, I got 900+ edits, and joined around 6 months ago with loads of huge editing, notably my 61016 article I have made. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiediter2029 (talk • contribs) 10:40, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

I have done a number of reverts as a result of vandalism or violations of policy. I have read the policies at Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes#Criteria to receive this permission. I have also participated in the Afd and speedy deletions which have been successful in the past. I have written a few articles and rewritten a few as you can see on my userpage. My goal is to apply the polices in a fair and balanced way. I am committed to continuing to making Wikipedia a place we can all be proud of. Docmoates (talk) 09:36, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

I'm requesting template editor rights so that I can make changes to certain templates such as {{Symbol}} without requesting assistance. I built the fairly popular templates of {{Tweet}} and {{Pin section}} and made improvements to others. I have over 300 edits in the Template namespace, and my creation of various Wikipedia user scripts help demonstrate my technical competence. Thank you for your consideration!

going through page histories, i often have to revert all the edits of a user. taiv would help to find the problematic edits of temporary accounts. ltbdl (activate) 05:33, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- While I'm generally pretty liberal in terms of giving TAIV, [2] gives me a bit of a pause especially because the unblock was barely a month ago. I'll let other folks comment, but I'm leaning no purely based on the recency of the block (especially since one of the benefits of TAIV would be to hide LOUTSOCKing better).

I edit in AMPOL spaces where temporary accounts are common and establishing a lineage of users is useful, such as the multiple accounts at Emil Bove that are likely the same person. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 16:53, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello! It seems my account is finally six months old (judging by the fact I've gained access to WP:TWL a few minutes ago.) I regularly combat abuse from unregistered users, and I have some experience with reporting sockpuppets at WP:SPI. TAIV access would allow me to better monitor LOUTSOCKing and detect problematic behaviors such as vote-stacking. Note: I have been blocked twice, once indefinitely, so it may be best to review those before granting. Thanks, Children Will Listen (🐄 talk, 🫘 contribs) 22:43, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

I do quite a lot of patrolling of recent edits for vandalism, spam, and other disruption. This includes having to deal with occasional LTAs and reporting cases to SPI. Being able to see TA IPs would be good for verifying abuse by multiple TAs from the same user and suspected LTAs. It would help deal with vandalism more efficiently.

I'm requesting access mainly for two reasons. I do a lot of work in the companies space and seeing IP accounts allows me to more easily deal with SPAs and users that clearly have a COI. In addition I do work on anti vandalism regarding Buddhism followers edits per User:Arjayay/B B and being able to access IP account viewing is critical to seeing if the user is from the same area as the previous violators. - Imcdc Contact

I have done plenty of AIV and NPP work in the past; given how temporary accounts have reshaped how IPs work, what with editing and talk page history/warnings now disconnected, I'll find being able to view IPs useful in order to identify longer-term abuse or intractable cases of vandalism/NOTHERE.
