How to create a campaign

I am unable to find information or a guideline on who can create a campaign, when and why. Could someone please me out? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tanyasingh (talk • contribs) 07:39, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

@Tanyasingh: Upload Wizard campaign editors and Commons administrators can create and configure a Upload Wizard campaign. See the UploadWizard campaign functionality documentation and Commons:Upload campaigns for further information. Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 08:35, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Patroller - recommended minimum edits

I suggest that the following is added under the Patroller section as guidance to anyone considering volunteering to patrol, as this seems to be the case.

{{Tmbox|text=As a rough guideline, [[COM:Administrators|administrators]] usually require editors to have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits, and to have been active in the last thirty days.}}

I don't think that's necessary, as usually one goes through autopatrolled first (which has a rough guideline) before patroller and other rights. pandakekok9 13:56, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Increase archive wait time

Hi. After processing, in some cases the requestor may want to reply with questions/doubts/seeking advise/correction but I think the 12 hour period is very short for them to have a chance (sometimes because of time zones), and if they get it posted, we might not be able to anwser them as the bot archives it anyway, so we don't get to have enough time for communication. Therefore I propose to ask the bot operator, Eatcha, to increase the wait time from 12 hours to 3 days (or atleast a day), or to make it start counting by last message (still 12 hours is a short time, atleast a day is needed). I don't see any reason/benifit to haste the process. -- CptViraj (talk) 09:20, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Makes sense to me. I don't see a high likelihood of the page becoming flooded with a 3-day response time, and 12 hours is far too short. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 16:39, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

•  Support Yes, 12 hours is too short. 3 days seem a minimum to me. Yann (talk) 15:04, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support makes sense. Lets do it 3 days. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 17:33, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support 3 days. Achim55 (talk) 08:50, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Support 3 days sounds good - FitIndia ^{Talk ✉} 09:36, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
•  Question would it be possible to treat different requests different? I think for approved autopatrol rights we do not need the request on the page for 3 days. --GPSLeo (talk) 10:45, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  Approved requests may be archived immediately, no? We do not need any comments on those requests. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 16:09, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

  IMHO, please keep it simple with a general wait-time, the page isn't going to be un-scrollable in 3 days. But if consensus goes to this side, I'd say minimum 1 day as there could be cases where approving a request wasn't a good idea and one could come with serious reasons to revert it, I know it's just autopatrol but there's possibility. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 04:05, 4 May 2023 (UTC)

Implementation

Clear consensus to increase the wait time to 3 days, but the bot operator is long gone and they also have emails disabled. Will it be possible for any one to make the replacement? Pinging some people I know with experience of maintenence bots: Steinsplitter, Mike Peel, Krd, Dschwen, Mdaniels5757. Thanks! -- CptViraj (talk) 08:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Since Eatcha made this code open-source, I can make this quickly. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Done, the program is running on MDanielsBot, and I blocked UserRightsBot to avoid overlap. I'll file a pro forma BRFA shortly. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 18:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Decrease/remove minimum edits for autopatrol

Due to the new policy, anyone trying to make edits to other's images needs to either request every time or to get autopatrol rights, and frankly, I believe 500 edits is a very high number for these rights, considering that if you're mainly modifying other's images you need to request 500 times(!) Thus, I think that the numerical requirement should be substantially lowered to something like 50 or so. Unknown-Tree (talk) 00:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
