Reviewers are users who canreview page revisions.Administrators can also review pages. Reviewers are also given the ability torollback changes in combating vandalism, and various other abilities.

When you can satisfy theautomatic criteria, you should receive the reviewer permission automatically. Otherwise, you canmanually request it; please provide a reasonable argument for manual requests. The reviewer permission is only given manually to those in certainglobal roles (such as stewards, global sysops, and global rollbackers), or if autopromotion appears to havefailed, or for other compelling reasons. Otherwise, if any pages require reviewing, non-reviewers can request this at theassistance reading room.

There are currently1,008 reviewers on the English Wikibooks.

The main rights given are the following:

• Have one's own edits automatically marked as "reviewed" (autoreview)
• Have one's own edits automatically marked as "patrolled" (autopatrol)
• Mark revisions by yourself and others as being "reviewed" (review)
• Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page with a single click (rollback)
• View thelist of unreviewed pages (unreviewedpages)
• Not create redirects from source pages when moving pages (suppressredirect)
• Have an increased rate limit to 100 pages/min (autoconfirmed)

You shouldautomatically get reviewer tools when/if you meet the following criteria:

• Have a registered account that isat least 30 days old, with either an email set and confirmed inSpecial:Preferences, or already holding theautoreviewed user right.
• Have never been blocked, and have never had the reviewer tools removed (you canrequest the tools if otherwise).
• Haveat least 100 edits since registration (excluding deleted edits), in which:
  • 50 or more edits are to pages other than discussion pages, including edits to the main space, Cookbook, and Wikijunior.
  • 50 or moreedit summaries are used.
  • 10 or more unique pages are editedat least once.
  • 8 edits are spaced 2 or more days apart from each other (which takesat least 14 days, if you edit every 2 days).
    • This does not mean that 8 consecutive edits must be spaced 2 or more days apart from each other to meet this criterion.
  • 5 or more edits are inrecent changes at the time automatic reviewer promotion is checked (this works out to be anytime in the past week).

On one extended occasion from June 2019 until September 2020, autopromotion stopped working. The bug was tracked at Wikimedia Phabricator, and was officially closed asresolved (see the link at right).

If autopromotion fails to occur, registered users who appear to satisfy the automatic criteria but have not been promoted should insteadapply for manual promotion.

Autoreviewed users, unlike reviewers, solely have their own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol) and reviewed (autoreview); they cannot review or rollback any edits, or view the list of unreviewed pages.

Administrators may grant this permission to users at their discretion, or may be requested atWikibooks:Requests for permissions.

For autoreviewed users who later receive the reviewer permission, the autoreviewed user permission may be taken away. However, note that you won't lose anything, as the reviewer permission is a subset of the autoreviewed user permission.

There are currently78 autoreviewed users on the English Wikibooks.
