Commons:Requests for rights

How to make a request

First make sure you clicked the correct edit-link and you are actually requesting the right you want.

Copy the following and add it to the end of the text-area:

{{subst:rfr|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|2=reason}} Thank you. ~~~~

Replace reason with a rationale based on the rollback guideline, renaming guideline or the patroller guideline.
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.

Not that I mind about patrolling, but autopatrol has become an actual right, and without it, Special:Upload often fails, meaning I can't even update a library file which has been outdated for over 5 years.😐 Thank you. Chealer (talk) 20:05, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits here look fine to me. (I've also added the overwriting template to that file) Could you explain in your own words the reasons why you were blocked from frwiki last year? Abzeronow (talk) 20:11, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I need autopatrolled so I can overwrite files with the CropTool. 27K edits on enwiki, if that counts. Thank you. Polygnotus (talk) 16:28, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit count is still a bit low. Have you read and understood COM:OW? Abzeronow (talk) 16:42, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I am one of the few people who enjoys reading policies/guidelines/essays and manuals. Polygnotus (talk) 18:45, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tvpuppy (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions) - This user is doing a lot of good, helpful work for Commons. There won't be any need to patrol his edits. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 14:53, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your nomination, @Grand-Duc. Being autopatrolled will help me crop images with FoP issues in DRs without creating a new file. Thank you. Tvpuppy (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I've noticed some river categories contain several different rivers sharing the same name. AWB would be a good tool to help me split them, and then do similar jobs more widely. I've used it for quite a while on en wikipedia. Thanks. --Northernhenge (talk) 14:59, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

been patrolling latest files and ended up wracking up quite the edit count and would like to do better patrolling and to start working deeper into the commons :3 I’ve worked pretty hard the last week and a half Thank you. Cyberwolf (talk) 15:59, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You have an active block on enwiki. Could you explain the block reasons, @Cyberwolf? Kadı Message 12:11, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was overly obnoxious and was snarky at times this will not affect my editing Cyberwolf (talk) 00:47, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why didn't you join the autopatrol first? Incall ^talk 15:23, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I'm willing to grant them autopatrol now if they want it. Abzeronow (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I just wasn’t sure Cyberwolf (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t know I had to Cyberwolf (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done on patroller for now (I'm willing to grant in a few months),

Granted autopatrol. Abzeronow (talk) 19:32, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably possible and I'll need a rollback flag, probably early, but it won't be superfluous.Incall ^talk 16:37, 20 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recently, there have been frequent vandals who have vandalism the page, asking for authorization. Thank you. Thyj (talk) 10:14, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing that much anti-vandalism activity in your recent edits. Which page are you talking about? Abzeronow (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because that vandal was so stubborn, I rollbacked and but he changed it back. Thyj (talk) 06:37, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template editor

Hide on Rosé

Hide on Rosé (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information) (assign permissions)

I'd like to request for template editor rights. I have been a template editor on the Vietnamese Wikipedia since late 2022 (and also an eliminator), and I have gained considerable experience in modifying templates as well as modules (see viwiki edits on templates, modules and my sandbox). On Commons, I have submitted multiple requests for adding translations to protected templates and MediaWiki interface messages. Therefore, I am requesting this right to assist in responding to edit requests, and partly because NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh has resigned earlier. Thank you.

Renaming my own files Thank you. Elena Regina (talk) 00:38, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Five requests from 2024 & five from 2025. All successful. Only concern is what @Jeff G. mentioned on their TP about behaviour & vandalism. Archives ain't there, can be found in history. Shaan Sengupta^Talk 11:12, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The more recent blanked messages with GPSLeo are slightly concerning to me as well. All of their rename requests have been Criteria 1. I'd like to see other rename requests using other criteria so that they can show they understand the file renaming guidelines. Abzeronow (talk) 18:00, 17 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done, per Abzeronow. Please apply again after some time with a good record of rename requests to demonstrate your understanding of the renaming policy. --Ratekreel (talk) 19:34, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
