Wikipedia:Requests for permissions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Requests for permissions
Shortcuts: WP:PERM WP:RPE WP:RFR This page enables administrators to handle requests for permissions on the English Wikipedia. Administrators are able to modify rollback and account creator rights. Editors wishing to request a permission flag here should do so following the procedure below. Processed requests are automatically archived.

Permissions

• Rollback: 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. For a more detailed explanation of rollback and information about when it is appropriate to use the tool, see Wikipedia:Rollback feature. For information about the technical details of the feature, see here.

• Account creator: The account creator flag is granted to users who are active in the account request 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.

• Autoreviewer: The autoreviewer 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 Autoreviewer, even without that user's consent. A user who wishes to have this flag must be trusted, experienced, and must have demonstrated they are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially WP:BLP and WP:Notability.

• AutoWikiBrowser: AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor for Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista 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. In applying for AWB access, you indicate that you will abide by that agreement. Also, this page is for requesting AWB Access for this wiki (English Wikipedia) only. Other projects have their own check pages and you should ask local sysops to add you there. Note that users with under 500 mainspace edits are RARELY approved. Also, you only need to give a reason for wanting AWB access if you have fewer than 500 mainspace edits! If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage.

• NewPageWatcher: NPWatcher is a Wikipedia tool, which allows users to perform new page patrol easily, with a graphical interface for the attachment of appropriate deletion tags, as well as a prodding interface and an AfD feature. As a guideline, you should have at least 500 edits and a clear understanding of the policy before requesting NPW. Any administrator can approve users (and himself/herself) for NPWatcher: just add the user name(s) to this protected page in alphabetical order, inform the user(s) that the application has been processed (better with User:Martinp23/NPWatcher/Approval template).

• Administrator and bureaucrat access: Requests for administrator or bureaucrat access need to be posted at requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship, respectively.

Note: While the IP-block-exempt right can also be granted by admins, this should not be requested here. Requests for the IP-block exempt right should be sent to the unblock-en mailing list or, if there are significant privacy concerns, to the CheckUser list.

Removal of permissions

If you wish to have any of your permission flags removed, you should contact an administrator.

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.

Note: The administrator, bureaucrat, checkuser and oversight flags cannot be removed using this process page; those need to be posted at m:Steward requests/permissions. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they come from members of the Arbitration Committee.

Process

Requestors

To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and add the following code:

*{{subst:rfp|Your Username|Short reason for wanting permission}} ~~~~

Do not simply edit this page and add your request, or it may be removed. Any editor may comment on requests for permission.

Administrators

Administrators are permitted to grant rollback and/or account creator flags to any user who meets the criteria explained above and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). They should review a user's contributions (i.e. reversion history) or account creation 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. The request will then be archived automatically: approved requests for this month will be placed here. Declined requests for this month will go here.

Current requests

Before using Rollback
Editors requesting Rollback should read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature before using the tool. Misuse of the feature, even if unintentional or in good faith may give cause for it to be removed.

N Not done. Sorry, but you only have 28 edits, and that's just too few edits to judge if you'll use rollback well. It may be granted later, if you'll come back and place another request after gaining more experience here with vandalism reversion. By the way, the Twinkle tool might be useful to you.

I've made over 100 mainspace edits on this account and thousands of edits on my former account as EconomicsGuy. I've spent considerable time learning about Wikipedia policies and guidelines and I'd like to help fight vandalism. I had rollback on my former account. I've never been blocked and I've never been warned for anything related to edit warring. I think I was warned about not arguing with another editor on an admin talk page once but that's years ago. I left for a few months because I was being harrased by User:Iamandrewrice whose actions also made it necessary to blacklist all usernames with the word "EconomicsGuy" in it. Hence the new username (that, and the fact that I scrambled my password on the old account). My user talk pages were never deleted when I left and if any admin wants me to, I'll post the relevant links to the histories of those talk pages. Vyvyan Basterd (talk) 15:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism reversion. I'd like to expand the capabilities of Twinkle, which I've been using for a few months now. King ♣ Talk 19:27, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I was about to grant you rollback, since you seem to have experience with Twinkle, but edits like [1], [2], [3] are not good signs. The genres "post-grunge" and "alternative rock" can be pretty similar, and swapping them does not constitute as vandalism, even if it was done by one IP who might have a negative track record, I don't know. But I'm inclined to say {{notdone}} for that reason. Other input would be appreciated. Best, Jamie^☆S93 20:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I can second the N Not done, per this edit. Block templates (as well as any "warning" template) are allowed to be removed from a talk page. Nakon 20:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Block templates are not to be removed, but the warnings are okay... ZooFari 23:25, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

• Restoring archived request. King left a clarifying note on my talkpage (and a message to Nakon, too) about the diffs posted above. It's apparent that he has good intentions, and doesn't intend to be reckless. Still, I'm leaving this request to another admin for their decision. Jamie^☆S93 14:46, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• Unless Nakon objects, I see no problem with Kingoomieiii having rollback. He seems to clearly understand that genre changes done in good faith does not constitute vandalism. decltype (talk) 06:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm minorly concerned that there is a lot of vandalism revision, but minimal use of warnings. That's a big part of reverting vandalism and making an effort to attract new users to the project. Each "undo" should be followed by a warning, IMO. wadester16 06:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

User states they're using twinkle, and rollback won't make it go any quicker and therefore I'd agree with the decline, and further I also like to see use of templates when reverting as often as possible. Nja²⁴⁷ 10:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not worried about not always using warnings templates when reverting vandals, as it's not misuse nor abuse (not even any sort of "use", for that matter) of the rollback tool. It's only a concern if the edits being reverted are not vandalism. If Kingoomieiii understands that rollback is for reverting vandalism, and knows that the tool would be taken away if misused/abused, then I'm fine with them having rollback, though I won't grant anything without clearer agreement here. Acalamari 23:35, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, but it shouldn't take me one random pick at first try to spot an error. The edit was certainly not vandalism, but we all made mistakes when we first started using rollback. I recommend waiting a little longer, but the rollback feature shouldn't be a problem (hence Twinkle is identical). There is also the good edits. Just my 2 cents. ZooFari 02:24, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what was wrong with what happened there: the edit wasn't exactly constructive, and it was reverted with an explanation, not as vandalism. Same with the second diff you mentioned. Did I miss something? Acalamari 02:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

The first diff was a mistake in which I fixed shortly after; the second diff is a good edit by King. ZooFari 02:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken King has also explained himself about the genre-change reverts. decltype (talk) 10:05, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Yup, long-term abuse genre warrior with a year of ignoring consensus under his belt. And to address concerns, I'm fully aware that Rollback is to be used only in the case of blatant vandalism, as it leaves only a boilerplate edit summary. Furthermore, I'm aware that all permissions assigned to an account can be taken away by any sysop at their discretion. --King ♣ Talk 09:10, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I've applied rollback. I'll be keeping an eye on your use of it, and will remove it if necessary. Thanks in advance for your work. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:34, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

• Hell in a Bucket (talk · contribs · deleted · count · pages created · logs · block log · lu · rfar · rfc · rfcu · ssp · spi · search an, ani, cn, an3) (assign permissions)

I use rollback limitedly on twinkle and feel that I have a sound grip on wikipedia policies towards vandalism. It is very rare that I use the rollback feature ussually in cases of tag removal or blatant vandalism Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

These are a bit too recent for my liking, so I'm inclined to mark this as {{notdone}}. Could another admin chime in? –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:28, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I believe if you also look at a recent ANi thread I have changed that a bunch. I can understand if that is a concern though. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:29, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

there was actually 2 comments by two of teh blocking admin in defense of the turnaround. Fisherqueen and LessheardVanu. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:33, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• for the record, this includes people invovled with teh first blocks commenting on my behaviour.

Collapsed copy of AN/I thread
The following content has been placed in a collapsed box for improved usability.
Two months ago I had a extended altercation with Vegkilla. I was extremely rude and inappropriate and very verbally abusive to him and admin. I recvd a few blocks for these behaviors. I did as my contribution show calm down and regret my behavior and apologized to all invovled. I recieved a last block in which I agreed not to contact that user again unless invited. Also there was a reccomendation to avoid pages with Vegkilla editing until I "reestablished my bona-fides" I have been accused of violating the terms of my unblock and unfairly warned in a situation that is clearly nothing but good faith. I would like uninvovled admin to please look at me and my contributions and clarify if my actions were incorrect and how to change them in the future. Also I will npot be posting the ani posting on Vegkillas page as to do so would invite more conflict, if someone could please help him out I would appreciate it. There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 18:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC) I've gone ahead and notified user:VegKilla of this thread. -T'Shael,The Vulcan Overlord 16:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC 18:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC) As one of the admins who blocked HiaB for the earlier poor behaviour I would note that I feel that he has moved forward greatly over the last weeks, and has transformed himself into a good faith editor. I do not think that VegKilla's attitude is appropriate in referring to that previous instance over what may be considered a minor content dispute. I note that a couple of people have noted to VegKilla that his current responses are indicative of overreaction, but to date the only responses have been further references to the old instance. LessHeard vanU (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC) The somments such as this is teh most bothering to me. I would invite Vegkilla to strike those accusations. "I adamantly persist that this was blatant, repeated vandalism that HellinaBucket has already been warned about countless times. HellinaBucket was almost permanently blocked for making this exact edit to this exact article. The HellinaBucket account has been trying to make this edit to this article since the account was created. This article was protected to guard against this exact edit being made by anon ips, and further more, Hellina's edit summary of "changing verbage" was intentionally deceptive and is itself an act of vandalism, since it attempts to conceal the fact that the edit fundamentally changes the meaning of the first sentence of the article.VegKilla (talk) 06:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC) HellinaBucket is a vandal. Unfortunately, ThaddeusB is not familiar with this issue. I directly oppose everything that ThaddeusB has said as being completely false and unwarranted (I specifically deny that Hellina's edit was a mistake and was not deliberate vandalism).VegKilla (talk) 06:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC) "What I did accuse Hellina of, was of vandalism: making the same edit to the Operation Repo article that he has been trying to make since April. He has repeated this act of vandalism by removing words like "faux" or "scripted" from the article, and this is vandalism because it is introducing false information. I also accused Hellina of violating the agreement he made when he was making a plea to avoid a permanent block.... The concept of "assuming good faith" does not apply to this situation, because as I said earlier, this is not a new issue. This is an edit that Hellina has made to this article countless times, and has been warned and even blocked for persisting in this issue. Furthermore, Hellina's edit summary "changing verbage" is intentionally deceptive. If Hellina wants to continue to vandalize Operation Repo, then he can start a new account, and (not knowing who he is) I'll start him out at a level 1 warning again. If Hellina wants to make helpful contributions to Operation Repo without introducing false information or using deceptive edit summaries, then he can (and does), because as you can see from the edit history, I don't even blink when he makes constructive contributions VegKilla (talk) 17:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)" There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC) I was involved (with another non-admin, Neutralhomer, in the previous incident here when there seemed to be a shortage of admins (Saturday morning in the EU, the wee small hours of Saturday in the US). At the time I suppose I sided with VegKilla, since Hell in a Bucket's conduct was, as they acknowledge above, unseemly. Since then I've been following both VegKilla and Hell in a Bucket, and they appeared to have disengaged and generally become good members of the community. Unlike ThaddeusB I am familiar with the background to this; however, I do have to agree with ThaddeusB that VegKilla's allegation of vandalism is completely inappropriate. I'd view Hell in a Bucket's edit as good faith. I do not regard Hell in a Bucket as a vandal. Cheers, TFOWRThis flag once was red 18:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC) For the record, here is the supposed vandalism edit: [4] and here is the very strongly worded warning it received: [5]. To me, this is clearly a content dispute and not at all vandalism. I take no position on the correctness of the edit, but I feel strongly that the threat it generated was way over-the-top. VegKilla went on the accuse Hell in a Buck of "following his edits around," which I consider a serious accusation without basis. VegKilla has mostly only edited Operation Repo for the last month. He has made 15 edits to the article (mostly reverts) while Hell has made 6. It is pretty hard to stalk someone through a total of 1 page. Again, this is a content dispute not stalking. I do understand that these two have had conflict in the past, however that does not excuse making threats of "permanently blocking" over a minor changing of the words. At worst, this is a slow moving edit war - and it takes two to edit war. Additionally, VegKilla has been jumping straight to L4 warnings every time an IP vandalizes the page. He seems to think ever IP edit is really coming from Hell in a Bucket, which is highly unlikely IMO. I have advised him to step back from the article for a while, as he seems to have lost focus and is emotionally involved to an unhealthy level. I believe this is good advice and stand by it. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC) For someone with "no familiarity" of the issues behind this incident, you seem to have summarised it nicely ;-) I agree entirely that this is a context dispute - heck, I agree with everything you've said. VegKilla needs to step back. Cheers, TFOWRThis flag once was red 19:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC) VegKilla's objection is a change away from describing Operation Repo as a "faux reality show." As far as I know, that's not a genre name that is widely used by anyone. In my opinion, Hell in a Bucket's proposed change is not only not vandalism, but is a very reasonable edit. I've weighed in on the talk page regarding the genre discussion, and added the article to my watchlist- I'm conerned that User:VegKilla may have a slight case of WP:OWN. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC) Apparently the user is not going to review our thread and is "taking a long wikibreak". I would like to thank everyone who weighed in here and for the support for my turnaround. I do want it to be known that I hold my hand out in friendship to VegKilla, my actions before were completely inappropriate and I sincerely apoligize again for it to him. I hope you understand I am sincere and would love to reach a consensus with you at a later time of your choosing. There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 20:08, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
The above content has been placed in a collapsed box for improved usability.

As no other admin have chipped in, I will withdraw the request. I will work with Twinkle for the time being which does some of the same things without the added headache. Thanks anyways. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 23:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm guessing here that the # sign was used intentionally in the template above, to give requesters a numerical order. Along the way, someone decided to go with the ===User:Username=== format. Anyhow, there has to be a better way to help maintain Wikipedia, other than manually finding the Deletion criteria page, hunting down the right tag, going back to the page, then pasting.

I don't actually do any NPP as such, but I'm interested in how the software works and how it could help me in future endeavours. Thanks! Franamax (talk) 23:06, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

N Not done. Sorry, but NPWatcher is for editors who already have speedy deletion experience. Try doing CSD tagging manually, and list yourself here again after gaining some experience in that area. Best, Jamie^☆S93 22:36, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I have experience with CSD and have been patrolling recent edits with Huggle (as a rollbacker). I would also like to be able to more easily patrol new pages. Thanks! Rmosler | ● 18:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

You seem to be a bit overeager with the trigger finger [6] [7][8][9][10][11]. Regardless of whether you are approved or not, I would advise you to carefully review the CSD criteria. Regards, decltype (talk) 13:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I've been a rollbacker for a while, and been tagging for PROD and CSD for a while. I think this will help me out a lot. --I dream of horses (talk) 18:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

I do a lot of work at WikiProject Novels, especially with the newsletter, and I would find this a useful addition which will make edits and fixing quicker and easier. Do a lot of edits to fantasy related articles, where typos are common, and a really annoyance to fix at the moment. It is the sort of tool I will not use hundreds of times a day, but I find the need for it often enough that it would make everyones life easier.

For use with cleaning up pro wrestling articles as well as updating Minor League Baseball rosters and articles as these are updated so frequently with trades, releases, promotions and demotions, etc.

As can be seen, I've been working on the Copy to Commons backlog. Most of what I'm doing could be semi-automated such that all it requires is a visual confirmation. Saving a decent amount of time.

Y Done. Although you only have 300+ contribs, most of which are vandalism reversions, you've already done some nice Copy to Commons backlog work with no issues. So I've granted this request. Jamie^☆S93 14:29, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

To make it go faster adding orphan tags to those needing it.

N Not done. The orphan tags have apparently yielded this block and multiple warnings/complaints on Postcard Cathy's talk page. Jamie^☆S93 14:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
