    Requests for permissions
    Shortcuts

    This page enables administrators to handle requests for permissions on the English Wikipedia. Administrators are able to modify account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, file mover, extended confirmed, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, and template editor rights, and AutoWikiBrowser access.

    Editors wishing to request a permission flag here should do so following the procedure below. Editors requesting permissions are advised to periodically revisit the requests page, as notifications will not always be given after a decision is made. Editors should not expect their request to be answered right away and should remember to be patient when filing a request. To find out what permissions your account has, go to Special:Preferences, where your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups".

    Requests for permissions are archived regularly; please see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Archive for an index of past requests.

    Permissions

    Handled here

    • Account creator (add request · view requests): The account creator flag is granted to users who are active in the request an account 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.
    • Autopatrolled (add request · view requests): The autopatrolled flag is granted to users who are active in the creation of new articles. This tool is granted so their creations are auto patrolled in Special:NewPages. Unlike other requests, any user may nominate an editor for Autopatrolled, even without that user's consent. A user who wishes to have this flag generally should have created at least 25 articles and must be trusted, experienced, and must have demonstrated they are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially WP:BLP and Wikipedia:Notability.
    • AutoWikiBrowser (add request · view requests): AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor for Microsoft Windows, 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 rules of use and registration requirements on the main page before requesting permission. This is not a true user right, but access needs to be granted by administrators just like other permissions. If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage. Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You will need to give a reason for wanting AWB access.
    • Confirmed (add request · view requests): The confirmed flag may be granted to new users who have not yet hit the threshold for autoconfirmed status. These are users who have not had both 10 edits and 4 days experience. People with this flag can upload files and edit semi-protected pages before hitting the autoconfirmed flag. Users requesting this flag must indicate clearly why they should be exempted from the customary confirmation period.
    • Event coordinator (add request · view requests): The event coordinator user right allows editors to create multiple new accounts, and to temporarily confirm accounts so that they can create new articles.
    • Extended confirmed (add request · view requests): The extended confirmed flag is normally automatically added to accounts after 500 edits and 30 days, but may be added to legitimate alternate accounts of users that already have this access. The flag allows users to edit pages under extended confirmed protection.
    • File mover (add request · view requests): The file mover user right is intended to allow users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Wikipedia articles.
    • Mass message sender (add request · view requests): Mass message sender enables users to send messages to multiple users at once. This flag is given to users who have made requests for delivery in the past, clearly showing an understanding of the guidance for use.
    • New page reviewer (add request · view requests): The new page reviewer user right allows users to mark pages as patrolled and use the page curation toolbar. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
    • Page mover (add request · view requests): The page mover user right allows users experienced in working with article names to move them, subject to policy, without leaving behind a redirect. They may also move all subpages when moving the parent page(s). General guidelines include making 3,000 edits and 6 months of editing history. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
    • Pending changes reviewer (add request · view requests): The reviewer flag is granted to users who are experienced enough with Wikipedia editing and its policies for contributing to the process of reviewing articles placed under pending changes.
    • Rollback (add request · view requests): 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. Also, it is unlikely that editors with under 200 mainspace edits will have their request granted. For a more detailed explanation of rollback and information about when it is appropriate to use the tool, see Wikipedia:Rollback. For information about the technical details of the feature, see here.
    • Template editor (add request · view requests): The template editor flag allows users to edit protected templates and Lua modules. General guidelines for granting include making at least 1,000 edits overall (with at least 150 to templates or modules), being a registered user for over a year, and having a record of successfully proposing significant edits to several protected templates. Users should demonstrate proficiency with template syntax and an understanding of the need for caution when editing heavily-used templates.

    Handled elsewhere

    Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:

    Removal of permissions

    If you wish to have any of your permission flags (except administrator) removed, you should contact an administrator. If you want your administrator flag removed, you should contact a bureaucrat.

    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.

    The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight flags are removed at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they are made on behalf of the Arbitration Committee, by a user who is requesting their own access be removed, or in cases of an emergency.

    Process

    Requestors

    To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting permission.

    Any editor may comment on requests for permission.

    Administrators

    Full instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Administrator instructions

    Administrators are permitted to grant account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, event coordinator, file mover, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback and template editor flags to any user who meets the criteria explained above and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). Administrators may either grant these permissions permanently or temporarily. For convenience, a bot will automatically comment with relevant data if the user does not meet configurable qualifications. Even if the bot does not comment, administrators should review the user's contributions and 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. If a user already has the requested permission, or is autoconfirmed and requesting confirmed, {{already done}} should be used. N hours after the last comment was made (as specified by the config), the request will be archived automatically: approved requests will be placed here; declined requests will go here. See User:MusikBot/PermClerk#Archiving for more information on archiving functionality.

    Other editors

    Requests for permissions is primarily intended for editors requesting a permission for their own account. Other editors are welcome to comment if they have specific information that is relevant to that request that a patrolling administrator is unlikely to discover for themselves. Otherwise, since only administrators can effectively respond to these requests, general comments or 'clerking' by other users are rarely helpful. Non-administrators cannot "decline" to grant a request, because they're not in a position to accept it.

    A limited exception to this is Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled, where third party nominations are encouraged. Other editors should still avoid offering general remarks on requests and leave the final decision to an administrator.

    User:Royalesignature

    I respectfully request autopatrol and patrol rights, based on my extensive experience and contributions to Wikipedia. With over 12 months of experience, I've created 60+ articles and improved 100+ others. Granting my request will streamline the New Page Patrol process. I previously requested these rights last month, which was denied. Since then, I've improved my contributions. I believe my dedication and improvement warrant reconsideration. Thank you for considering my request. Royalesignature (talk). 03:08, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Aderiqueza

    I am writing to request for Autopatrolled right so as to ensure there is reduction in the workload of NPP process. Having created articles that conform to the content policies of Wikipedia and also learning from other experienced editors' suggestions to improve articles over the years, I believe this request is deserving, supported and this user right will be granted. Thanks Aderiqueza (talk) 19:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done, your last article according to XTools was in two months ago in October, that does not indicate a requirement for this right. Additionally, your last article has editor removing unreliable sources, and making other fixes to it, indicating that your articles would still benefit for a second-look-over (which is what NPP is for).

    User:Crafterstar

    I have made a few articles that seem to be fine, and probably worth a consideration for this permission. Crafterstar (talk) 01:38, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    @Schwede66: Crafterstar didn't create that. They created a redirect that was later turned into the article by someone else. – Joe (talk) 10:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I shall take another look. Schwede66 12:36, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Crafterstar, sorry for my sloppy assessment. I'm unsure, though, whether you come to anywhere near 25 articles created, which is a condition for autopatrolled. Do you maintain a list somewhere? What shows up as articles created by you is often a redirect, or something extremely basic like this that was expanded by others before it left draft space. Cast lists do need to be referenced (e.g. The Venery of Samantha Bird) and the prose of The Strangers: Chapter 3 is almost half made up of a long quotation. What I've seen thus far isn't convincing, but I'm happy to take a closer look if you can provide a list of 25 articles created by you. Schwede66 20:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    apologies for wasting your time. Crafterstar (talk) 20:54, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Crafterstar

    Hi, I am re-requesting AWB perms. It was last denied because I had shown zero need for it but this time, I think I do have a reason.

    I had recently created Niagara (electoral district) and Middlesex North from a (redirect) to a Disambiguation page, and it has links. I would like to use AWB to update the links, and make it point to the right pages. I'm thinking there could be more "redirect-to-disambigaution" pages that would need updating links.

    User:Boutboul

    Reason for Request: I am requesting reinstatement of Extended Confirmed Rights after their removal by User:ScottishFinnishRadish for concerns related to "gaming EC through adding a machine translation of Fondation Maeght and Rueil-Malmaison in many small edits without attribution." He asked me to "make at least a few hundred edits" to regain it. I understand the importance of maintaining trust and adhering to Wikipedia’s policies, and I’ve since reflected on how to better contribute responsibly.

    Since the removal, I have added attribution to the concerned articles. I have made over 300 referenced contributions, focusing on adding reliable sources to improve verifiability, expanding content in alignment with Wikipedia’s standards, and enhancing article quality.

    I believe my recent contributions demonstrate constructive and policy-compliant editing.

    Examples of Recent Contributions: Water metering, Smart meter, and Gas meter, which are in my area of expertise. Michael Boutboul (talk) 12:28, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Boutboul, are you using AI (such as ChatGPT or similar tools) to write your talk page messages and permission requests? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 09:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi ToBeFree,
    I use ChatGPT from time to time to translate sentences or correct English syntax, as English is not my mother tongue. I also used an LLM to translate French Wikicode into English Wikicode; it’s much faster than doing it manually.
    Have you had the opportunity to check some of my edits? They are far from perfect, but I really try to follow Wikipedia standards (Verifiability, No Original Research, Follow Style Guidelines, etc.). I’m genuinely puzzled—I don’t understand why they are not considered valuable enough to regain my extended confirmed rights. I’ve been a Wikipedia member since 2006, with more than 900 edits in English and over 1,500 edits in total.
    Thanks for your time and interest. Michael Boutboul (talk) 10:08, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    For the NPP backlog drive. This is my second time participating in one of these drives (hopefully I will be healthier and less busy this time...) -1ctinus📝🗨 02:34, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:EF5

    The January backlog drive seems interesting and I need something to do over Christmas break/beyond. I applied for a month-long trial a while back, but was having some mental health issues and just didn't use the tools or even re-apply. My AfC log is relatively lengthy over a period of 3 months. A note about my AfD stats, they are inaccurate. For some reason, when changing my name from "Sir MemeGod" to "EF5", XTools bugged out and only shows random AfDs I've filed/commented on (hence the 90-or-so "no vote detected" ones).

    @EF5: Could you explain what happened with Draft:Artwork at the Pentagon, from your perspective? The history is puzzling. – Joe (talk) 10:50, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Joe Roe: Sure! I was on an "artwork at the ____" list-making spree (see List of artwork at the United States Capitol complex and Artwork at the World Trade Center (1973–2001)), and I tried my luck at the Pentagon. It would be PRODed for WP:NLIST reasons, which is fair, I didn't know that WP:NOTDATABASE existed at the time, and to avoid it being deleted, I just moved it to draftspace where I could work on it. I guess I forgot about it. I know that doesn't excuse the OR concerns, I guess I just forgot to cite some material, which I'm usually careful about. :) EF5 12:30, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @EF5You do realize that the OR concerns are a direct by-product of not following WP:NLIST and not because you forgot to cite material? Sohom (talk) 00:28, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That too, it's a mixture. In my opinion, one self-draftified (I'm fully aware it not meeting NLIST was why I draftified it) article shouldn't impede on the seventy-nine newer articles that I've made after that, none of which are tagged (from what I know). I was given the tools for a trial in late-October, and hopefully my few reviews were at least sufficient. EF5 02:49, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Neveselbert

    As an editor with over 80,000 edits since joining in 2015, I'm also a pending changes reviewer. I've moved over 2,000 pages during my time, made over 200 edits at WP:RM/TR to request uncontroversial page moves and participated almost 400 times in requested moves.

    My immediate need for this permission stems from my efforts to retitle redirects in line with policies such as WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE. I'm currently unable to move dozens of redirects I've created to more appropriate titles because the desired titles already exist with different tags. This process would be far more efficient with the page mover tool, allowing me to address these titles without requiring frequent requests at WP:RM/TR. Thanks, ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:48, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Neveselbert, can you give me a few examples of the redirects you're talking about? Why is it necessary to move them instead of just copying over the tags? I'll also say I'm concerned about all of this: while page mover is a somewhat less sensitive permission than template editor, it's still one that requires a lot of care, especially if you're planning on moving large numbers of pages at once. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 11:00, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi Extraordinary Writ, I'm referring to the redirects in Category:Premierships of Great Britain and Category:Premierships of the United Kingdom, the majority of which I created years ago. As for why it's necessary, WP:CUTPASTE is one reason, as I'd like to maintain the page history, and another is that it's extremely tedious to have to copy over tags and categories over dozens of pages. As for the template editor issue, I made a mistake under pressure at a time when I wasn't in a good place. I apologised and accepted that my conduct fell short of what was required, although I would point out that I managed to remain in relatively good stead as a TE for about six years. I'm proposing to use the PM right sparingly, and the only number of pages I would move at once would be these redirects and those requested at WP:RM/T. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:16, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So the idea is to move redirects like Premiership of Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton to titles like Premiership of the Duke of Grafton? I don't really understand why that'd be worth doing: both redirects are valid, and it's not worth worrying about which title is best when there isn't an article yet. (I realize only one redirect can be in the category, but still...) I suspect if you requested one of these at RM/TR, it'd be declined as not a useful move. Is there something I'm missing? Extraordinary Writ (talk) 10:26, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I find the page history argument to be lacking; I suspect there is little to no substantial history on a majority of these sorts of redirects (especially, as you say, if they were all created by yourself). Moving a redirect to another redirect and then editing the original redirect to point to the original target just to save a copy/paste seems like more effort than just editing the second redirect. Primefac (talk) 12:48, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It would be vastly less effort with WP:AWB, which I have experience with. I'd just have to substitute {{target of}} after the fact. A copy/paste for dozens of redirects isn't something I'd be able to automate. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:44, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Extraordinary Writ: Yes, that's the general idea. I think it's worth doing on a personal level since I created the vast majority of these redirects in the first place. Both are valid, of course, but I feel the more concise titles would be more in line with WP:TITLECON. For example, both First premiership of the Duke of Wellington and Death and state funeral of the Duke of Wellington will be in the same category, Category:Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. In any case, it's far more likely that such a premiership(s) article will follow the same pattern as the "Death and state funeral" title, so this would save having to swap categories and the like from First premiership of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington to First premiership of the Duke of Wellington. It's a tedious task but one I'd appreciate the ability to undertake. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 19:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not comfortable handing out page-mover when your main use case is unusual and difficult-to-justify moves; I think they deserve more scrutiny than they'd get if you were making them unilaterally. I'm also not sure why you think page mover would save you time: these would have to be individual round-robin swaps, which take at least as long as copying and pasting.  Not done. I continue to think you'd be better off leaving well enough alone here, but if this particular set of moves is really important to you, leave me a note and we can try to find a way forward.

    User:ToadetteEdit

    Good evening! I have had this permission on a temporary basis on May 20th of this year. I had then requested an extension of said right but was declined on the basis of weak communication capabilities and questionable RM closures being made during my trial. Four months passed, and I therefore request to receive the right (okay for another temporary basis to prove my competency).

    A month ago, I returned to wp:RM/TR clerking, contesting certain requests and processing them. I could only process (fulfill) the simplest requests, that is, requests that don't require use of the suppressredirect, tboverride or delete-redirect rights bundled with the requesting user group in question. Having page mover rights will enable me to process more pending requests rather than wait for another user to fulfill them.

    I am also planning to return back to NPP and AFC activity, due to the fact that I will be on holiday (and therefore, increased online activity) and due to the upcoming backlog drive for the former. suppressredirect would be helpful to carry out draftifications, and also to allow moving drafts to titles which have history that would've been eligible for G6 deletion.

    For obvious reasons, I will not (and must not) work in the requested moves venue outside RM/TR (disclaimer:I have been topic banned from closing/relisting discussions four months ago). I have also improved my communication skills and will try to be as clear as possible. I am open to any questions regarding this request or my competency.

    Thank you for reading my request. ToadetteEdit (talk) 15:57, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

     Not done. I'm glad that there have been fewer issues in the last couple of months, but when the previous problems were so extensive they led to a topic ban, four months isn't long enough for me to be comfortable re-granting the right. For now, maybe consider participating in RM discussions: not only is it recommended for would-be page movers, it's a great way to show both knowledge of policy and improved communication skills. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 01:51, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    So... I will attempt to participate in RMs more. Thank yoi for responding to my request. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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)[reply]

    User:Beachweak

    Have close to 1,100 edits as of making this request. I enjoy improving articles, I review recent changes daily by this point and am familiar with reverting vandalism (and distinguishing it from good faith edits). Having this right would mean I can instantly decline bad faith pending edits as soon as I see them. I have read and understood the relevant policies and guidelines relating to pending changes, vandalism and copyright. Beachweak (talk) 14:51, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Freedoxm

    Hi. Recently, i've been reverting vandalism and disruptive edits on Wikipedia with Twinkle and Ultraviolet, and as an extended-confirmed user, I have over 850 edits. I also revert good faith edits, and if I get this request accepted I will be able to reject vandalism put on pending changes (on pending changes). 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 22:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    (Non-administrator comment) Even if you're not pending changes reviewer, you can reject pending changes by reverting them. Pending changes reviewer, on the other hand, gives you the ability to accept changes. Rusty 🐈 14:37, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Lewisguile

    I am an active editor with page creation review rights and over 5,000 edits to date. I try to keep my edits neutral and have a history of working with others on some contentious topics. If I make a mistake, I try to fix it and apologise as soon as possible. I have a good grasp of WP policy and MOS, and understand the difference between vandalism, tendentious editing and unconstructive editing. I've also got a very good grasp of copyright law (UK and US) and plagiarism due to my academic and professional background. Lewisguile (talk) 09:08, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Plasticwonder

    I would like to request the pending changes reviewer right for the following reasons:

    1. I am highly active in anti vandalism areas of the enwiki (AIV, RPP, etc, I even contributed to SPI) so I know what vandalism looks like when I see it.

    2. I see a lot of constructive edits when I am on the "recent changes" section, that go unnoticed for quite a while. Plasticwonder (talk) 18:06, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Rusty Cat

    I was previously fairly active in anti-vandalism and am starting to do it again. I'd like to be granted this user right so that I can accept good edits to pending changes pages. Rusty 🐈 14:39, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Mon Bhai

    I believe this could help me out with the current vandalism fighting I do that may involve pages with pending changes. I have read WP:RCP, and I have a good understanding of Wikipedia's P&Gs. Mon Bhai converse∫edits Mon Bhai (talk) 16:42, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]


    Rollback

    Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

    User:PersonAccount

    I have been reverting vandalism since I created my account. Although it appears I am a new user, I also have experience editing Wikipedia and reverting vandalism as an IP for many years (which I will not be disclosing due to security concerns). The rollback right will help me revert vandalism faster, which is why I am requesting it. PersonAccount 🐉 (talk) 20:08, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    PersonAccount, to be honest, no, it doesn't appear you are a new user. Which is okay if all previous activity was without having an account and without disruption. It will take longer than for other users until the trust for manually granting permissions is there in your case. It isn't yet, to me. Unless someone else grants rollback in the next week or so, I'll decline this with a recommendation not to ask for permissions until your account is a year old. Regarding rollback in particular, Twinkle and Ultraviolet will do just fine. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:11, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    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.

    Hello! I've been patrolling Recent Changes for a few months now. Rollback will help my work, especially when I'm out and about and can only access the app. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 15:28, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I want to note that I am currently recieving CVU training on this page and am willing to apply again later if it is felt that I am not yet ready for this permission. I would also greatly appreciate any guidence (especially on that page). Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 13:47, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I would like rollback to help me combat vandalism more effectively. I currently use recent changes and RedWarn. I feel that I have the experience necessary to handle vandalism in a constructive manner. Grumpylawnchair (talk) 04:04, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Randomdude121

    Hi! Though I started out doing grammar fixes, over the past 2 weeks, I've been using Twinkle and RedWarn to revert any vandalism seen on Special:RecentChanges. It's understandable if you'd like to impose the hard and fast rule of 1-month experience, but I've made almost 300 edits related to vandalism. I always leave a message for the editor and undo my revert in cases where I question my decision in hindsight and would rather have another pair of eyes look at the edit(s).

    Having the rollback permission would make RedWarn reverting faster for me and would also allow me to try out other anti-vandalism tools like Huggle. Could I have the right please? randomdude121 (leave a message!) 09:19, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Plasticwonder

    I view that having this user right would help in fighting vandalism a lot faster. I know I would be far more efficient with fighting vandalism if I were to be granted Rollback. I have been editing for over 7 months, and I have well over 5140 edits, with a focus on mitigating abuse on the wiki. I am a frequent contributor to AIV and RPP. Plasticwonder (talk) 18:11, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    User:Obversa

    I am requesting rollback rights to revert an edit by another user that merged Baroque Pinto with Friesian Sporthorse, without prior authorization or agreement, on 15 November 2024 - a higher-up editor or administrator previously denied a merge request due to "no consensus" in January 2024 - or allowing other users to discuss or dispute the page merge, as indicated for the procedure on Wikipedia: Merging. I have been trying to recover the Baroque Pinto page that was merged into Friesian Sporthorse without success, and need administrator assistance or intervention in order to revert or roll back the merge.
