How to make a request
Note
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. |

Autopatrol
As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made more than 500 useful non-botlike edits, and to have been active in the last thirty days. Patrollers and License reviewers don't have to request this flag. |

- I have been editing for years and mainly contribute to maps and other files related to WikiProject Eurovision on Wikipedia, most of which weren't initially created by myself. Due to the amount I contribute within that space, it would be very much appreciated if I could be granted autopatrol privileges rather than wasting people's time with constant exception requests. Thank you very much! Aris Odi ❯❯❯ talk 12:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- 116 edits is still a bit low. Abzeronow (talk) 16:38, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- I know that number is a bit low for commons, however, as of writing this I have 835 edits on the English Wikipedia. Most of my changes on commons involve minor changes to maps and other files for WikiProject Eurovision. I am a trusted user within that project so it would be helpful if I could be granted these privileges, however, I understand if that may not be possible at this stage. Thank you for your assistance.

- Not done English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons are entirely two different projects. I'll be willing to grant you autopatrol once you have over 500 edits here. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- I am requesting autopatrolled rights as I currently need to upload a corrected version of File:Telegram-World.svg (with Russia colored in light teal and added metadata: title, description and corresponding license). These rights would also be useful for future contributions to other files. While I have only 126 edits and about 7 uploads on Commons, my overall contribution across Wikimedia projects exceeds 1,500 edits, including 727 on the Italian Wikipedia and 556 on the English Wikipedia. I have always respected the rules and will continue to do so. Thank you. Digressivo (talk) 04:30, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've added the template to the file. I would like to see more edits from you, I'm willing to keep this request open while your activity will make your edit count go up on its own. Abzeronow (talk) 16:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not done per@Abzeronow's observation above. Regards, Aafi (talk) 17:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- I am requesting autopatrolled rights to upload .mp3 files from LibriVox, e.g.~(https://librivox.org/out-from-the-heart-by-james-allen/), which are in the public domain in the U.S. I realise I do not have a large number of edits on Commons, but have >30k on Wikisource, and this request is to enable file uploads for Wikisource texts. Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 20:24, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd like some more edits from you. You're autopatrolled on English Wikisource so edit count isn't as big a deal, but 69 edits is still rather low. Abzeronow (talk) 22:26, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @Abzeronow Thanks for the prompt response. Given that there are many things that I should/would rather be working on on Wikisource, I am not sure how quickly I will build up more edits on Commons. I'll see how I go, but if I don't end up with more edits within the next month or so, feel free to close this request, assuming I can ping you/reopen it when I do.

- I have 1,377 edits to my name in Commons, and only found out that I can't overwrite files as of last week. Most of my edits are to SVG files, and I don't expect this to change much. I would like to continue. Thank you. RayneVanDunem (talk) 16:45, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- I am a long-time contributor to Wikimedia projects and have a good understanding of the policies and guidelines. I am also an administrator on the Arabic Wikipedia and would like to request Autopatrol status for my account. This permission would be particularly useful for me as I need to export a number of audio files from the Arabic Wikipedia. --Nehaoua (talk) 19:54, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

- I have over 2000 edits on here and am trying to overwrite File:Tallulah1.jpg which needs to be flipped. I expect I may run into some similar situations in the future. Thank you. QuincyMorgan (talk) 01:16, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

- I have uploaded over 400 files on here, almost 900 edits on Commons and I am trying to overwrite some files with a larger upscaled version, e.g. or maps with a higher resolution. Thank you. Mike Krüger (talk) 19:59, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Rollback

- Good morning! I am requesting rollback to revert vandalism faster as part of my crosswiki vandalism efforts. I already have rollback access on three wikis. ToadetteEdit (talk) 07:48, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made at least 1,000 useful, non-botlike edits or a large amount of justified renaming requests at Commons before they will consider granting the filemover right. |

- Hello to all administrators. I am mainly working on building a reliable wiki database of native plant species (wikipedia, wikispecies, wikimedia commons, wikidata). I often upload photos that capture important morphological traits of each plant species, and sometimes those species is correctly identified after uploading. New species are often discovered, especially in the orchid family, and reclassifications are often made. It is important for our purposes that the file name of the image represents the correct species name based on the latest classification. To facilitate the above editing process, I request "Filemover" privileges. Thank you. BeautifulMedia (talk) 05:59, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- A. Öztas (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)
Hello, I would like to apply for the right to move files. It often happens that files uploaded by me are moved if it turns out afterwards what I have actually photographed, what can be seen in the photo (e.g. the exact name of a mountain in a mountain range, the special feature or the name of a building on a street, the exact species or genus of a plant or an animal, etc.). Unfortunately, sometimes a typo or two creeps in during mass uploads, which then continues throughout the entire series. To avoid creating unnecessary extra work, I would like to be able to move these files myself if possible. --Anil Ö. (talk) 00:41, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Bluetime93 (talk · contributions · Statistics · Recent activity · block log · User rights log · uploads · Global account information)
- Hello. When I upload photos in bulk, especially through the mobile app, issues like incorrect sorting or naming can occur. Therefore, I would like to become a filemover to quickly correct both my own mistakes and those of other users without leaving redirects, and to help reduce the workload of other admins. Thank you. --bluetime93 💬 14:38, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

- I frequently place requests to move files with errors and meaningless names and would like to be able to do this myself in the future and avoid extra work as well as handle requests made by others. I am familiar with the guidelines determining when to rename and not to rename. Thanks, --Ankermast (talk) 11:36, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
