How to make a request

  1. First make sure you clicked the correct edit-link and you are actually requesting the right you want.
  2. Copy the following and append it to the text-area: 
    {{subst:rfr|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|2=reason}} Thank you. ~~~~
  3. Replace reason with a rationale based on the rollback guideline, renaming guideline or the patroller guideline.
  4. Press Publish changes.

Note

  • Please check back periodically so you can respond to any queries.
  • If your request has remained unanswered for several days, consider personally asking an administrator.
  • Administrators, please welcome users granted a new right with an appropriate message.
  • When requesting rights that need support by the community (e.g. administrator) please go to Commons:Requests and votes!

If you request the rollback-right, please read the how-to first.

Admins and anyone with global rollback don't need to request rollback. License reviewers don't have to request the patrol flag.

Xeverything11 edit

I am categorising lots of images using Cat-a-lot and uploading a vast number of images, as my own work and not. So I would like to have the autopatrol right granted. Thank you. Xeverything11 (talk) 07:51, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EmpAhmadK edit

I upload a lot of works for Wikimedia Community User Group Malaysia as one of their photographers and media manager, and therefore would appreciate having this user right as it would help me in uploading the media from our programmes quickly, without needing to wait for the rate limit cooldown. Thank you. EmpAhmadK (talk) 17:02, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Alien333 edit

I am mostly a Wikisourcerer and I would like to have the mass-upload right as I often need to upload illustrations from books, and going fifty by fifty takes more time Thank you, — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 15:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

AutoWikiBrowser access edit

Dactylantha edit

I would like to apply a deletion notice in bulk to a category of images that I am appealing to be removed due to incorrect copyright status - Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions as per my request at Commons:Deletion_requests/Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions. There are ~2500 images requiring this notice as per the deletion request requirements, and OpenRefine seems untenable as a batch editing option as the reconciliation service currently has a bug that has stopped me from doing any editing to that category. Of course, if there is an alternative to AutoWikiBrowser I would be happy to hear it - anything is better than copy and pasting 2500 times! Thank you.

Dactylantha, you could request that job to be done on Commons:Bots/Work requests. --Achim55 (talk) 18:31, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Helps with batch adding categories (the ones suggested here do not work for me). I already have access to it on en.wikipedia. Dissident93 (talk) 23:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Svenskbygderna edit

I am requesting Filemover status on Commons. I have made over 1,500 edits on Commons and 2,000 on Wikipedia. I am an experienced editor and have a good understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. I would like to be able to move files to correct names and to help with file maintenance tasks. Specifically, I am wanting to rename a lot of Minnesota map files to have a consistent naming scheme. Thank you. Svenskbygderna (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see any recent renaming requests. (I also will note that I just granted you the autopatroller right). So you might want to show the need for the file moving tool. Abzeronow (talk) 17:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the response. I have just demonstrated in my recent naming requests what I intend to use this renaming right for. Svenskbygderna (talk) 20:33, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Platte edit

Ich möchte gerne mit den Filemover-Rechten ausgestattet werden. Ich bin seit fast 20 Jahren bei WP dabei und habe seitdem dort rund 50.000 Edits, auf Commons rund 20.000 Edits getätigt. Von 2008 bis 2015 war ich zudem Admin in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia. Thank you. Platte U.N.V.E.U. 11:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
