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.

Gouvernathor edit

I'm requesting Autopatrol rights in order to update in-place a certain amount of out-of-date parliament diagrams that are meant to reflect a current situation, and to improve the geometry of some others. Thank you. Gouvernathor (talk) 21:27, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your edit count is still rather low. That would be the only issue. Abzeronow (talk) 17:40, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  Not done, edit count is too low. Kadı Message 18:16, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Peka edit

I would like to have autopatrol and use to some file updates about mainly: maps of Japan and earth science images. Example: File:政令市区画図 22130.svg, File:Osaka-Osaka-City 24.png and File:2016 Kumamoto earthquake Focal Area by GSI ja.svg. Thank you. Peka (talk) 14:20, 28 May 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]
