Requests for permissions
Shortcuts: WP:PERM WP:RFPERM 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.

• 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).

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 flag can not be removed using this process page.

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 demonstrates a need for the tool(s) and can be trusted not to abuse them. 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.

8. Arbitrarily0 (talk • contribs • count • total • block log) I spend a lot of time on Wikipedia patrolling new pages and I would greatly appreciate being able to do it with NPWatcher because it is so much more efficient. I currently use Twinkle to help me patrol new pages, but after reading through the NPWatcher manual I realized how much more proficient NPWatcher is. I am familiar with the AfD process, the proposed deletion process, and the criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks, αЯβιτЯαЯιŁΨθ ^(talk) 21:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

14. Skunkboy74 (talk • contribs • count • total • block log) - I currently use Huggle to look over new pages. It works fine, but I would like to use NPW as I believe it would get the job done even better. I enjoy patrolling new pages and I believe the ability to use NPW would make the process easier than ever. The easier this becomes, the more pages I can patrol. Access to the NPW would be a great benefit for me. Thanks! --DA Skunk - (talk) 03:18, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
