This page enablesadministrators 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 sofollowing 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 toSpecial:Preferences, where your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups".
Requests for permissions are archived regularly; please seeWikipedia:Requests for permissions/Archive for an index of past requests.
 | This version of the page may not reflect the most current changes. Pleasepurge this page to view the most recent changes. |
Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:
wikipedia.org or contact a CheckUser directly.The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:
The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight permissions are removed atmeta:Steward requests/Permissions. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they are made on behalf of theArbitration Committee, by a user who is requesting their own access be removed, or in cases of an emergency.
To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting permission.
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 thecriteria explained above and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). Administrators may either grant these permissions permanently or temporarily. For convenience, abot will automatically comment with relevant data if the user does not meetconfigurable 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 theconfig), the request will be archived automatically: approved requests will be placedhere; declined requests will gohere. SeeUser:MusikBot/PermClerk#Archiving for more information on archiving functionality.
Requests for permissions is primarily intended for editors requesting a permission for theirown 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 isWikipedia: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.
New page reviewer who has made over 90 articles including 1 good article and quite familiar with content guidelines, I may also as well not clutter the backlog for other reviewers.CherryPie94 🍒🥧 (talk)06:06, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am autopatrolled and an NPP reviewer; I would actually like to nominateUser:Kjansen86 to be autopatrolled. I just reviewed and cheerfully accepted almost a dozen perfectly-formulated articles on Zoroastrian texts, and they have made more than 25 overall. Looking at their talk page, this appears to be an experienced and effective editor. Checking their AfD stats, I findone (successful) AfD that they initiated, indicating an awareness of notability. We may as well take them out of the NPP backlog. (This is my first time nominating someone else so if I did it wrong, please let me know!)~ L 🌸 (talk)21:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have created 118 pages and would like to have autopatrol rights, please. Thanks.Phantomdj (talk)01:46, 26 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have been actively contributing to Wikipedia for the past five years and have created over 150 articles. I strive to produce well-sourced, high-quality content on topics such asBayan al-Quran,Mamunul Haque, andDeobandi fiqh, and I have also improved existing articles like the one onZakariyya Kandhlawi. While I understand that the Autopatrolled user right is not necessary for editing, I have noticed that the page review process can be significantly delayed, with some of my pages taking 6–12 months to be reviewed. As a New Page Reviewer for the past two years, I actively participate in wiki forums, including AfD, and none of my articles have been deleted in the past three years, which I believe demonstrates my understanding of notability and other relevant guidelines. I believe I am eligible for the Autopatrolled right, which would help reduce the backlog of unreviewed pages. Additionally, I have held the Autopatrolled right on Bengali Wikipedia for the past five years. Thanks. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ04:02, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done—Femke 🐦 (talk)16:08, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]I came across Bgrus22 while doing new page patrols. These short bios are always well-sourced, compliant with core WP policies includingWP:N andWP:V, compliant with the MOS. Only two deletions; one was a U1, the other wasa five-year-old AfD and recent history shows full grasp of notability. Creates talk pages. With continued page creation in the works, Bgrus22's do not need to be reviewed by patrollers. (Note: the Xtools dates are not accurate because Bgrus22 reuses sandbox pages to prep pages before moving them to mainspace, so the date for the newly created articles in Xtools shows older dates of creation. Bgrus22 continues to be active, and the use of sandboxes is another reason to grant autopatrolled since kinks get worked out before mainspace.)Dclemens1971 (talk) 05:20, 4 May 2025 (UTC)Dclemens1971 (talk)05:20, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While I think it doesn't mean you have to provide a list of all the contributions (that would be hard to review and pointlessly redundant to the full list), I personally think you should explain at least in some detail how you improved the encyclopedia since the revocation.~ ToBeFree (talk)15:57, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request temporary rights to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages as there is a huge backlog. I have been working on Wikipedia for past few months as an active user. During this time period, I have learnt a lot of things and learning something new every time I work here. Before these 2 months, I had a little experience on creating pages and within this time period, I started contributing by expanding older or creating new articles mostly within similar topic base. I would be glad to contribute to Wikipedia by reviewing new pages and also, learn along the way. I will also be working with the editors of new articles which might be notable but lack sources or other requirements. Thus, I am requesting a temporary grant of this right and I will prove for further grant by doing worthy work.HilssaMansen19 (talk)09:52, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, –AllCatsAreGrey(talk)20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello admins,I’m respectfully requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Huggle. Patrolling recent changes is what I enjoy most on Wikipedia, and I’ve found that it’s where I can make the most impact with the time I have available. I've made 1840 edits since January. At present, I review edits by right-clicking the diff link to open changes in a new tab in Chrome and then use RedWarn to revert and warn users when appropriate. While this process works, it's time-consuming and not ideal for high-volume patrolling. Having rollback rights would allow me to use Huggle, which would significantly increase my productivity and responsiveness in handling vandalism. Earlier, I made two requests for different user rights but withdrew them after realizing that my interest lies more in patrolling and counter-vandalism than in article creation or extended content curation. That said, I have written one article and contributed to creating another recently, and I do plan to continue helping in content areas where I can. I also take direction well and am open to feedback. Thank you for considering my request.m aMANÍ1990(talk |contribs)21:48, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
