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.

Tungsten[edit]

I would like to request the autopatrol right mostly to be able to overwrite pictures posted by others in cases where there are e.g. higher resolution images available. Previous examples: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ecce_homo_by_Antonio_Ciseri_(1).jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Suomineito_(Isto).jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%C3%89douard_Manet_-_Le_repos.jpg .

KoreanDragon[edit]

I would like to request the autopatrol right to be able to overwrite pictures in order to update them in order to not upload a separate version of those. Thank you. KoreanDragon (talk) 16:40, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sean9064[edit]

I'm a editor from Mandarin (Chinese) wiki, want to fix typo in the File:DHCP session en.svg file, just like what I did for File:DHCP_session.svg in 2021. Thank you. Sean9064 (talk) 02:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sean9064: I've added the template to the file so you can now overwrite it. As far as your request for the autopatroller right, your edit count is too low right now. Abzeronow (talk) 16:02, 7 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]

Danielt998[edit]

I would like to fix common spelling/formatting errors in English descriptions for files Thank you. Danielt998 (talk) 18:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Patroller[edit]

See also: Patrol guideline.

RodRabelo7[edit]

Having been an autopatroller and rollbacker for quite some time now, I believe I can confidently distinguish between a constructive edit and one that constitutes vandalism or, at the very least, has not been made in good faith. In this sense, I am willing to become a patroller in order to assist patrolling new edits, file uploads, and page creations. Thank you, RodRabelo7 (talk) 20:34, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Felix QW[edit]

I would like to request the filemover right in order to rename botanical images that have, for instance, misspelled generic names or epithets. If granted, I would also be happy to help with any backlog in this area, but would stick to uncontroversial corrections of errors or misspellings. Thank you.

Enyavar[edit]

I often encounter files with pretty awful names, but I hesitate to request file moves all the time, thinking of the group who has to fulfill the requests. With the right I could make the moves myself, and also help others if there is a backlog. --Enyavar (talk) 16:31, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
