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.

Peacearth[edit]

I have just renamed my account from "User:和平奮鬥救地球" to "User:Peacearth", and I would like to change the author information to my current username on all the files I have uploaded with AWB. I have several years of experiences and have made thousands of edits with AWB on the Chinese Wikipedia, and therefore I have enough knowledge on using the AWB. Thanks.-Peacearth（talk） 15:24, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacearth hello. As this is just a one-off task, why not use Commons:Bots/Work requests? rubin16 (talk) 05:59, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rubin16: After this task is finished, I would also like to help others with tasks which can be done with AWB.-Peacearth (talk) 09:06, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Peacearth could you please elaborate, what other tasks do you want to perform? Sorry for a slow process, unfortunately, no one else joined this discussion rubin16 (talk) 13:34, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Rubin16: I would like to help with tasks like template replacement, category sorting which cannot be easily done with cat-a-lot (for example, creating subcategories of [[Category:XXX by country]] and sort the files by intersecting the related categories), or some username replacement tasks similar to my case if requested by the user themselves.-Peacearth (talk) 12:32, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

IamMM[edit]

I read the file renaming guidance and I think I understood it correctly. My need for this tool is mostly due to my activity in FPC and the need to quickly correct names before (or sometimes during) nominations. Thank you. IamMM (talk) 17:33, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Purple question mark.svg Unsure confused by 2 infinite blocks in other Wikimedia projects though they don't automatically have an impact here. The history of the renaming requests seems to show that renaming policy is understood but I would like to hear a second opinion rubin16 (talk) 13:39, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
