Was just about to make this request. MB2437 19:42, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
Great minds think alike, also for the reviewing admin I would suggest semi-protecting the talk page as well due to speculation and NOTFORUM. WFUM🔥🌪️ (talk) 19:44, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Temporary move protection: Page title dispute/move warring – This page needs move protection restored. I had it fully move-protected earlier but it was reduced (I think by accident in an edit conflict). I've since been editing the article so would rather an uninvolved admin do the protection while people fight over whether it was a killing/murder/assassination/etc. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 20:53, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

Current requests for edits to a protected page

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.


Request to add Khalil al-Hayya back in the "Commanders and leaders" box:

1. Khalil al-Hayya assumed a central leadership role following the deaths of Ismail Haniyeh (assassinated July 2024) and Yahya Sinwar (killed October 2024)

2. He is a lead negotiator in ceasefire and hostage exchanges, heading the delegation in Qatar.

3. He is part of a five-member leadership council currently guiding Hamas operations abroad.

4. While targeted by Israeli forces in an airstrike in Doha on September 9, 2025, underscoring his perceived significance, there is no evidence that he has been assassinated or has been removed from his position as of September 10, 2025.

WP:PERM

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled

Requested this permission ~2 months ago, denied because I was mostly creating auto-notable stubs. I think I have expanded the types of articles I create, including well-sourced local pages or biographical entries where I take time to source subjects that do not inherently meet a generic notability criteria. (I still do create auto-notable pages sometimes, but those no longer make up the majority of pages I create.) As a new page reviewer, I got good experience with the notability guidelines reviewing articles during the backlog drive WP:MAY25, and also participating in AfD. Thought about requesting again as I have run into a few of my own pages while reviewing pages that are in topics I contribute to/am interested in. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Also wanted to mention that if I am unsure of a subject's notability, I will utilize WP:AFC for my own articles occasionally Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 02:18, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
 Automated comment This user has had 1 request for autopatrolled declined in the past 90 days ([9]). MusikBot talk 02:20, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Came here to request this permission for a different user, but since Yoblyblob is referencing their WP:MAY25 NPP work, it is worth noting that among the re-reviews of each patroller's work, 14/17 of their patrol decisions were approved. Of the remainder, two were drafted/redirected as WP:TOOSOON coverage of 2026 state elections and one was drafted for lacking enough coverage to qualify under WP:NEVENT. Considering they were the fifth most active patroller of the drive, this accuracy is good, not great. ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 19:20, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
Yeah, I took note of that during the drive. I may have tried to do too much too soon into being granted the permission, but would like to think I take a lot more care now during reviews. Yoblyblob (Talk) :) 01:23, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I have created more than 25 non redirect articles within the past few weeks and 53 non redirects overall. The two mainspace ones that have been deleted were by my own request, thanks to a slip of the "Publish changes" button. Aside from those, all have been approved by the adminteam. I would greatly be thankful to receive this permission. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 17:56, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

Why is citypopulation.de a reliable source? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:03, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Pinging @Luxtaythe2nd. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Cites its sources all well and proper, and has a full catalogue of references here. They cite the Tuvalu Central Statistics Division for this matter, which conducts a Population and Housing Census once per decade (most recent one being on 12 Dec. 2022, which is the exact date referenced on the website). Additionally, the whole website is organized by a professor of geoinformatics who is clearly a subject matter expert, Thomas Brinkhoff (this is his profile on ResearchGate and on Google Scholar and on the website of an institute he works for). If I could, I would have cited data directly from the CSD, but they do not make their tables for individual settlements available in their data library, rather just the reports. But, citypopulation.de is far more than close enough. Luxtaythe2nd (Talk to me...) 08:03, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
You appear to have translated Ski jumping hills in Gdańsk from pl:Skocznie narciarskie w Gdańsku without providing proper attribution in the edit history. Please repair the attribution issue following the instructions at WP:RIA. Please go through other articles that you have translated from any other wiki and repair the attribution for those as well. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:22, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created around 30 well-sourced, policy-compliant articles on the English Wikipedia.

In addition to my contributions here, I am an administrator (sysop) on the Persian Wikipedia (fa.wikipedia), where I have been active for many years, focusing on content creation, vandalism control, and community support.

Granting this right would help reduce the workload of new page patrollers, as my article creations usually meet Wikipedia’s quality standards.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Best regards, Shahnamk (talk) 19:08, 28 July 2025 (UTC)

Per WP:NONENG, "English-language sources are preferred over non-English ones when they are available and of equal quality and relevance". For In the Mesh, did you search for English-language sources? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:10, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Also, it appears that you translated the article from fa:چرخدنده (کتاب) without attribution, which is required per Help:Translation#Licensing. Could you please repair the attribution for that article and any others that you translated from fa-wiki without attribution? voorts (talk/contributions) 00:15, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
Pinging @Shahnamk. voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello voorts, thank you very much for your careful review and constructive feedback.
Regarding WP:NONENG and the article In the Mesh:
You are absolutely right. I did rely on Persian-language sources since those were the ones I found most comprehensive at the time. However, I will now re-check for reliable English-language sources. If I find equally good English sources, I will integrate them into the article to ensure compliance with WP:NONENG.
Regarding attribution for translations (e.g., Gear (book)):
Thank you for pointing this out. I should indeed have provided the proper attribution when translating from fa-wiki. I will promptly fix this by adding the required attribution to the article’s talk page (per Help:Translation#Licensing). I will also review my other translated articles and repair the attribution wherever it is missing.
I appreciate your guidance, and I will make sure my future contributions are fully compliant with sourcing and licensing requirements.
Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you again User:voorts for your helpful feedback.
I have now:
1. Attribution fixes: Added the required attribution on the talk page of *Gear (book)* (and will continue to do so for any other articles translated from fa-wiki).
2. Sources: For *In the Mesh*, I reviewed the sources again and included available reliable English-language sources in compliance with WP:NONENG.
3. Future compliance: I will make sure that all future translations contain proper attribution and that, whenever possible, English-language reliable sources are prioritized.
I truly appreciate your careful review and guidance. Hopefully, these corrections demonstrate my commitment to following Wikipedia’s policies and ensuring that my future article creations reduce, rather than add to, the workload of new page patrollers.
Best regards, Shahnam K (Talk) 11:20, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Shahnamk: you didn't properly attribute. You must add attribution to the page history following the instructions linked to. Also, did you use an LLM to help generate your response to me here? voorts (talk/contributions) 15:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

As a part of Wikipedia: Tambayan Philippines and the Music Task Force, I would like to request the autopatrolled user right. I have created over 25 articles, most of which are currently live and have been built with careful attention to WP:N, WP:V, and reliable sourcing. And also I understand that the autopatrolled right is meant to ease the workload of new page reviewrs by automatically marking new pages from trusted users as reviewed. Thank you! AdobongPogi masarap 🍛 04:21, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

@AdobongPogi: Why is filmkrant.nl a reliable source? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Hello @Voorts, since the Dutch online film magazine Filmkrant has been publishing since 1981 and is run by experienced film critics. I'm using this source because in the article I created on Richard Raaphorst (who directed the film Popo) is also cited there, see #17 source. I also submitted that article for a GA nomination, which was promoted yesterday. AdobongPogi masarap 🍛 22:34, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

After a few months break, I have decided to become active on the English Wikipedia once more. In this new period of activity, I look forward to creating new articles of high quality. As a New page patroller myself, I know how much of a backlog there is. Since I have created a considerable amount of clean articles in the past (mostly related to history, geography and entomology), and am hoping to make many more in the future, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to slightly ease the work of patrollers such as myself. Thank you! UserMemer (chat) Tribs 21:44, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

I am returning to request full rights after the three-month trial period expired. During the trial period, I encountered no issues and successfully created many articles to contribute to Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Myanmar. Hteiktinhein (talk) 07:53, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

@Hteiktinhein: I notice that you routinely cite YouTube videos. Why is this source from Kyaukthittar Pagoda reliable? voorts (talk/contributions) 01:41, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts Thank you very much for your response. You asked whether the YT reference is reliable. I would say 'yes', because it is a documentary-style storytelling piece from Myanmar Celebrity Media, which is considered Myanmar's largest entertainment media outlet after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. Before the coup, they operated a website channel, but now they only operate a YouTube video channel. After the coup, around 90% of entertainment media outlets were shut down, leaving only a few video-based entertainment news sources and other media only focus on the war and political news. I used this video version as a source for Wikipedia because it comes from a verified major media outlet. According to WP:YOUTUBE-EL, "If the source would normally be considered reliable (e.g., a segment from a well-known television news show, or an official video channel from a major publisher), then a copy of the source on YouTube is still considered reliable." Therefore, I sometimes use YouTube sources when needed. Best regards. Hteiktinhein (talk) 04:34, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Do they have editorial standards? An "entertainment" outlet is quite different from news media. voorts (talk/contributions) 04:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I don't think their current website maintains editorial standards... When I checked, the remaining site did not mention any editor's name and only posted event and celebrity photos with very brief descriptions, without detailed news coverage. It seems the current version of their website is mostly for show and not suitable to use as a source for Wikipedia. If someone used it, sure I will remove. However, on their YouTube channel, they provide more detailed reporting and include the interviewer's name in the hashtags. Therefore, I think their place-documentary programs, where they interview or trace origin with local historians or highly venerated monks, are acceptable to use. Hteiktinhein (talk) 05:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Since I don't speak/read Burmese, I can't really independently evaluate whether I find the source credible, and I can't really easily research if they had editorial standards in the past. I'll let another admin evaluate your request. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:14, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
Anyway, thank you very much for your question and concerns @Voorts. I always welcome feedback or comments from senior editors, and I am eager to learn from others. Please correct me if I am wrong. I really do not want to use YouTube as a source; I only turn to it when there is no other choice (Myanmar is now a low-resource media environment, and it is difficult to find website-based reports bcs all gone [10], [11]). My Wiki mentor once told me that YouTube could be used as a source if the channel is verified and has a media license under the Myanmar government. After learning this, I began to cite videos from YouTube only when they came from licensed media.
If media license–holder outlets that report on notable Burmese celebrities are not considered reliable sources, I am happy to agree with that. I have used YouTube sources in only a few of the articles I created (especially on temple or pagoda topics), and if this is still unclear, I am willing to remove or replace them with other references.
I believe MC (Myanmar Celebrity) is one of the most popular celebrity and entertainment news outlets in Myanmar under license, although its website is now low in editorial standards and seems focused mostly on monetization and viewership (some reports on cele may gossip). The second most popular online outlet is Stun Magazine. To give a sense of MC's influence in Myanmar, as Burmese saying goes: “Someone can become a celebrity if Myanmar Celebrity features them.” Thank you again for reviewing my request. Hteiktinhein (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
The issue is that celebrity/gossip outlets tend not to be particularly reliable. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:58, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
I partly agree. Sometimes they report on celebrity conflicts, which feels more like gossip, but most of their reports are focused on celebrity life and news. They also have multiple programs such as travel, documentary, food reviews, daily life, and program of "forgotten celebrities". Some of these are actually very good reports.
For ordinary lifestyle interviews with celebrities, I don't think those should be used as sources because I know they are not independent. But for other local news reports, I think we can consider using them for Wikipedia. In my view, the reliability of such MC sources should be decided on a case-by-case basis at each article's talk page. How do you think? Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:08, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts As of now, MC is a questionable source, and the reliability of that outlet still we cannot be decided. Therefore, removing it is better now, and I have replaced it with another source on Kyaukthittar Pagoda. You can verify again, and if you have any concerns about this, kindly ping me. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:25, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein Have you used that or similar sources in other articles? voorts (talk/contributions) 18:46, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I think I used MC only for this article. I’m checking my temple articles, and if I find any, I will replace them. If you notice any, please ping me. Cheers. Hteiktinhein (talk) 18:51, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Voorts I have cleared MC sources from the article. I only found two in my contributions. In the future, I will not use MC since the reliability of that media is not clear at this time. However, if someone else uses it, I think it is best to discuss on the talk page and decide on a case-by-case basis. If you don’t have any further concerns, please review my request again. If there are concerns, I cannot follow up right now...it's already midnight here i now prepare to sleep but I will respond in the morning. Thank you. Hteiktinhein (talk) 19:18, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
@Hteiktinhein: have you used similar gossip/celebrity news sites in any other articles you've written, not just articles about temples. voorts (talk/contributions) 19:35, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
No, there are no more. I checked all my articles quickly with XTools and also cleaned the Media Queen source, the same as MC. Now I believe I have removed all celebrity news channel references from my articles. You can check as well, and if I missed anything, please ping me here. @Voorts Hteiktinhein (talk) 20:02, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

I am requesting autopatrolled rights. I have created more than 25 articles (see Special:Contributions/Spinin), primarily focused on cricket and sports-related topics. I consistently follow Wikipedia's core content policies such as WP:N (Notability), WP:V (Verifiability), and WP:BLP (Biographies of Living Persons).

My contributions are based on reliable sources and maintain a neutral and encyclopedic tone. I take care to ensure that the articles meet Wikipedia's notability and sourcing guidelines. I believe that having autopatrolled rights will help reduce the workload on new page reviewers.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Spinin (talk) 02:13, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) 9% of articles deleted (including an uncontested PROD in May, although that's the only one in 2025). Some recent creations have whole sections without any citations ([12], [13]). Just a couple observations. Dclemens1971 (talk) 17:42, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

I wish to request Autopatrolled rights please. This was previously granted, and has recently expired. I have created 256 articles in the last 21 months Martin Ojsyork (talk) 22:24, 7 September 2025 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Courtesy link to prior temporary grant by @Femke after request by me: [14]. I reviewed Ojsyork's recent creations and they continue to be of high quality and coming at such a pace that his being autopatrolled would continue to benefit patrollers. I believe there was a concern about a lack of AfD participation and thus awareness of notability; I don't see any AfD participation since the AP trial, but I continue to believe that Ojsyork is creating articles on notable topics.

This RfC recently established that autopatrolled can be procedurally revoked from inactive contributors, but I don't think there was consensus that it could be procedurally reinstated upon request, so I would encourage the reviewing administrator (I'm not one) to consider this like any other request. @Sswonk: I had a couple of questions about the articles you recently created: what makes this website (on Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter) and this website (on Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics) reliable sources? Also, since IMDb is an unreliable source, is there another citation that could be used for the award on that first article? TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:10, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Also, I forgot to say: welcome back to the project! I realized my comments above could come across as trying to shoot you down after your wikibreak, but I did mean it as genuine questions/feedback. :) TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks TS69, I did not realize that you had posted here before I went to your talk, I am copy-pasting that here so we can continue the conversation in one place. Below is re: Jeff Burger, will respond on other questions momentarily.
I added a second citation to the first paragraph of Loretta Lynn: Coal Miner's Daughter. I think the first citation is fine, yes it is a self-published source by Jeff Burger however Burger is well-known (https://www.chicagoreviewpress.com/burger--jeff-contributor-301827.php) and the site serves as an archive of his previously published reviews. The page I cite is a reprint of a review first published in 1976, the publication is not specified, however the information about Burger suggests it satisfies "Self-published sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." See also https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=au=%22Burger%2C%20Jeff%22 -- Burger should be considered reliable. Sswonk (talk) 16:34, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Regarding the second question about Chapter 16, please see https://chapter16.org/about-us/ and https://www.humanitiestennessee.org/about/our-story/?cn-reloaded=1 publisher of the cited, archived website. I would also consider that as satisfying WP:V.
I did not realize IMDb was unreliable, I used that because it is the single source of the page 38th Golden Globe Awards. I added the actual Golden Globes as a source. Sswonk (talk) 17:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for making those changes — your point about Burger makes sense to me, so I'll remove the {{sps?}} tag, and citing the Golden Globes' website for that award looks appropriate. I'm less sure about the reliability of Chapter 16, but I think I'll leave this for an administrator to weigh whether or not that would be a significant blocker to granting the permission. TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 17:24, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
I appreciate that, thank you. Sswonk (talk) 18:20, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
The question remaining from TechnoSquirrel69 asks for administrator input on the reliability of the Chapter 16 web outlet of the Tennessee Humanities organization. Links are provided a couple of paragraphs above. I am noting here that this morning I changed the previously existing citation link on the Honky Tonk Girl: My Life in Lyrics page to a direct link rather than to the archived page, as I was able to find the current url for the review. The link TechnoSquirrel69 includes above in his initial post has been updated to a current page. So we are dealing with the WP:RS status of a current page on a site that supports a 51-year old Tennessee institution funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. I think Chapter 16 is entirely reliable and should be used on Wikipedia articles related to Tennessee culture and history as needed. However, I want to thank TechnoSquirrel69 for diligence in finding areas for improvement in these stubs. Like him, I strive for the best references available and had determined the Chapter 16 and Jeff Burger sites were satisfactory prior to opening this request for permission; however I have been away for over a decade and am prepared to face challenges with humility. Fifteen years ago I worked on Led Zeppelin which was at the time poorly organized but since I left has been promoted to GA status. My opinion is that Loretta Lynn is on a similar level as a significant performer and figure in popular music history, and naturally I want articles about her and her work to have top-shelf reviews; even stubs should strive for high quality, especially references within them, to help other editors find further material, to set a tone of sincerity and professionalism. Thank you again TechnoSquirrel69. Sswonk (talk) 14:17, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
Requests for AutoWikiBrowser access

AutoWikiBrowser

I am requesting access to AutoWikiBrowser in order to assist with routine maintenance tasks. Having this tool will hopefully enable me to work more efficiently, reduce manual workload, and ensure consistency in edits. After reading the guide, I believe I am now familiar with relevant policies and will use the tool responsibly, restricting its use to appropriate tasks. Thank you. Keironoshea (talk) 08:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)

@User:Keironoshea: can you be more specific for what you'd like to use it for? —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:39, 1 September 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for responding. I would like to use AWB for routine maintenance tasks that I've been doing manually up until this point, which has been quite time-consuming - and a little difficult to do consistently.
My primary intended uses include category maintenance, standardising templates, and basic cleanup tasks such as fixing formatting issues and standardising reference formatting. For link maintenance, I would focus on updating disambiguation links and fixing broken wikilinks following page moves, particularly in areas related to Wales biography, geography, and politics where I have experience.
I understand the importance of responsible use and will ensure all edits follow Wikipedia policies with appropriate edit summaries.
Thank you for considering my request. Keironoshea (talk) 20:49, 1 September 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I’m requesting AWB access to add categories (which I usually add manually), fix typos, and tag articles that contain a lot of LLM content, like over here [16].

 Done, until December 9th, don't have a lot of activity, but I don't see red flags as well. Sohom (talk) 14:46, 9 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd like to be granted reviewer rights primarily to review redirects. I have experience in creating redirects, having made over 100 of them in my time as an editor, and so far none have been deleted (barring one I accidentally created as a typo). All of those (apart from ones made when I was new to editing) additionally have proper rcat documentation and whatnot.

Granted, I've never written an article, and the vast majority of my 6000+ edits are minor ones mostly dealing with formatting alterations. However, I've never been blocked, nor have I had any complaints about my behaviour towards other users, so I'd like to think that I could be trusted to use these permissions responsibly. I've also began several successful AfD discussions, showing that I have knowledge in article guidelines, particularly notability.

Thank you for your consideration :D Loytra (talk) 11:27, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
Requests for page mover

Page mover

I am applying for the permission of page mover so that I will be able to carry out page moves without worrying about being blocked due to the target page already having a redirect, which then requires me to make a technical request and fill up the backlog. This particularly would help when the grammar or spacing of an article title is changed, and if there are subordinate articles relating to the main article, I will be able to change them as well en masse. I believe I meet all of the basic requirements, and I do have significant experience in page moving, and especially in initiating and participating in move discussions. A few examples of successful page moves I initiated and discussed in were: Sirius XMSiriusXM, American Athletic ConferenceAmerican Conference (NCAA), and Delaware ValleyPhiladelphia metropolitan area. I also participated a lot in the discussion to ultimately have the Stanley Cup Finals page changed to Stanley Cup Final.

Using the example of SiriusXM, when the title was changed to reflect the official branding and common usage by removing the space, this required the titles of all of the pages for SiriusXM channels to be changed as well. I was able to change some, but not all, and this required me to have to fill up a backlog on the WP:RM page, which obviously have been more efficient with this permission.

Requests for rollback

Rollback

Will use it for fighting obvious vandalism in the recent changes. My account is old enough and I have made significant amounts of edits, I know the rules and policies of Wikipedia. - Rht bd (talk) 14:42, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

 Done for 1 month. Giraffer (talk) 14:56, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

Vandalism is one of the serious problems that Wikipedia faces. Having patrolled less frequented pages a lot, few of such vandal edits persist for weeks if not for months. These vandals carry personal grudges against such pages and do not mass-vandal numerous pages, but just the one page and do not make further edits as such. This makes identifying and reverting such edits very difficult. If rollback rights are granted to me, cleaning such pages would be of great help and would result in efficient dealing of such vandals. Also, many less frequented pages are edited by IP addresses with no experience of Wiki editing and often make changes which are against Wiki policies. Such edits being multiple at times require to be rollbacked altogether and reverting each edit makes it tedious. Thus, I request the rollback rights for efficient and effective patrolling of pages and cleaning any vandalized or unintentional edits. Thank you and Good day!

I'm also a pending changes reviewer and have done some work including reverting unconstructive edits on that front. I would like rollback as it would help me fight vandalism better and faster.

I recently started patrolling recent changes to help counter vandalism on Wikipedia. I'm now familiar with tools like RedWarn, and would like to be able to try out other tools like Huggle and RC Patrol, so I can be more efficient at countering vandalism and protecting Wikipedia's content.

Requests for template editor

Template editor

I would like to request the template editor right again so I may be able to update the URL source references over at Module:College color/data and Module:Gridiron color/data. I believe I previously possessed this right, and I would like the privilege to possess this right again to help the Wikipedia editor community. I know that I have learned from my past editing discussions with other editors, and I know that I can be responsibly trusted to possess this right, should it be re-granted to me. I hereby thoroughly promise not to unilaterally impose my proposed changes to protected templates without first engaging with other editors to reach WP:CONSENSUS. I am also here to listen to other editors and to respect established WP:CONSENSUS and not try to impose my changes if they go against the established WP:CONSENSUS, should I be re-granted the template editor right again. I know that part of being a responsible template editor is to first test proposed changes in the sandbox first and then get feedback from other editors before implementing changes to protected templates.

The last time this editor re-applied for this permission it was recommended that, at a bare minimum, they meet the requirements of WP:TPEGRANT since the permissions were last revoked.

OK. I understand your skepticism, so I ask: what may I do to change your mind and to get you to trust me when I say that I'm here to listen to other editors and to respect established WP:CONSENSUS? I'm simply trying to prove not only that I've changed and my editing habits and tendencies have changed, but I'm also trying to demonstrate that I have a need for the WP:TPE right. I'd also like the opportunity to prove and demonstrate that I won't simply revert to my old ways that got me in trouble and got the right revoked from me in the past.

Good day. I've always had a keen interest in templates, and recently have been making many adjustments. I have made many successful template edit requests over the years, and particularly recently both on en-wiki and on Commons. I am taking an interest in accessibility (specifically applying my knowledge of W3C ARIA which seems is not so common on en-wiki) and dark mode compatibility. I've reach the point where there's certian edits I could do myself safer than via edit requests, as sometimes things can get lost in translation. I hope my editing history is reflective of this. I am trustworthy, long-time editor who has slowly built their knowledge of en-wiki. I'd be so glad to be part of the template-editor team. waddie96 ★ (talk) 06:20, 10 September 2025 (UTC)

For #6, I did find ~5 edit requests that had been fulfilled, but I also found nearly three times that many that had been declined, both trivial and non-, for not having consensus. From a quick glance some of these appear to be unnecessarily bureaucratic, but others do have some merit. That being said, the declines appear to be only based on a lack of consensus or test-casing the changes, so from a technical standpoint I think competence has been demonstrated; my main hesitation is in the non-technical aspect of being able to edit protected templates.
