Autopatrollededit
Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights Hi, I would like to request this right because I have met the criteria for 25 articles that are free of problems. I would like to use it for my interest in WikiProject Korea. You can see all of articles i've created here! :) Aidillia(talk) 07:08, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Meets the minimum criteria, and the majority of their creations have passed a quality content review. It's been a little bit since the last creation, but I believe this editor has demonstrated enough familiarity with the policies and guidelines surrounding new articles that input from NPP will not be needed in the future. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:25, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
Cmacauley has been an editor since 2007, meets all the required criteria, and would likely benefit from having the AP right granted. This editor currently has 59 live articles and has only had one article deleted. They have consistently produced well-referenced, high-quality articles, with the majority receiving B-class ratings. Wikipedialuva (talk) 05:07, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
I've been around for some time, am quite familiar with tough conversations at the Teahouse or IRC (though I've sadly been inactive at the latter for a while) with new editors excitedly pushing their (often promotional) new articles, and do occasionally write new articles, 53 so far. I might as well not clutter the new pages queue. — Anon423 (talk) 01:51, 9 January 2025 (UTC) There are no outstanding requests for the confirmed flag.
File moveredit
I’m returning and previously held this role as part of my work to move images to Commons. Could I have this restored, please? Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:10, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Page moveredit
Have participated in handful of RMs in past year, as well as at MRV. I've only come to RMTR once, but otherwise would be useful for disambiguation purposes. As I often create the disambig first, in order to justify a page moving away from ptopic; this often leaves me with having to swap the disambig page with the redirect and visa versa afterwards, when I simply need to perform a swap. I've otherwise closed RMs before, and would probably close more that aren't too controversial, but am often restricted due to the need to overwrite a redirect. CNC (talk) 12:54, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
I previously completed many XFD discussions as a non-admin which resulted in the use of this user right for round robin deletions, and have shown good use of it before. I understand it’s been a while since I’ve been back, so wondering if this can be restored as I intend to complete this work again. Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:12, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi, I find myself not infrequently asking at RM/TR to move drafts over existing redirects with bits of history; I'd appreciate being able to do that myself. I also like taking in part in RMs and would like to be able to help with more than just the easiest closes. Thanks. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:16, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
I've been requesting occasional, regular and errant page moves at RMTR ever since I either created this account or achieved the extended-confirmed threshold. After 30 months of existence and persistence and in this new year, I'm ready to take the next step and have this right for a start as I can have an impact on this encyclopaedia.

Pending changes revieweredit
I request Pending Changes Reviewer rights to assist in reviewing edits. I have experience with editing and want to help maintain the quality of articles. Gwanki (talk) 00:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting this to assist with reviewing edits. I am fairly active on this platform and occasionally handle edit requests. I have made significant contributions to articles, including List of things named after Julius Caesar, which I have nominated for FL. I have also participated in some AFDs and believe that I am eligible for this. The AP (talk) 10:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
As a relatively new Wikipedia editor, I quickly grasped the core principles and ideology of the encyclopedia. With over 500 edits and several articles created, I have made steady progress, and at my current editing rate, I project to reach 30,000+ edits by the end of 2025. The Pending Changes Reviewer privilege would provide me an opportunity to my broaden efforts against page vandalism and ensure accurate, stable, and reliable content. I sincerely appreciate rejections or acceptance given my understanding, however, please endeavor to leave any explanation if you deem it fit to reject. Cameremote (talk) I came from a remote place 15:29, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
It works in tandem with reverting vandalism and it can be a good alternative for tackling possible vandalism or content that's not appropriate for Wikipedia. I'm already familiar with vandalism policy and handling inappropriate edits as I'm a rollbacker. Additionally, I'm very familiar with Wikipedia's content policy, given that I've been editing for around 5 years now. JurassicClassic767 (talk | contribs) 21:47, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
As I also do recent changes patrolling, having this permission will extemeley help me with combatting vandals, as edits requesting review can be viewed on the Recent Changes page, which will help me.
I know this may come as a bit of a shock, but I'd like to request the "pending changes reviewer" permission so that I can review some pending changes. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 05:08, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
My sole purpose of editing or the desire to review edits is for the wellbeing of Wikipedia. I made a few pages and made 1300+ edits. I believe in quality not quantity. TrueMoriarty (talk) 17:36, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Rollbackedit
I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly. Nxcrypto Message 12:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Wikipedia more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Wikipedia's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Wikipedia before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier. Thanks, Tenebre_Rosso_Sangue, Editing with SSStyle! Call for Medic! My Stats! 20:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi there. I was an admin for years but lot my bit through inactivity. I do a fair bit of anti-vandalism work and regaining this right would save me a few clicks. John (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Previously I held rollback before my departure as part of my anti-vandalism work, so hoping for this to be restored. Steven Crossin Help resolve disputes! 18:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
Template editoredit
Hi there, I had the user right previously (see my user rights log. I’m back to Wikipedia so hoping to have this right restored, my return was prompted by a TFD and I’d like to make sure it’s not in use and modify the source template if required (if some of my other user rights could be restored at the same time that’d be appreciated).
