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.

I'm requesting the autopatrol right to update and/or improve existing image files Thank you. Rettinghaus (talk) 08:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overwrites like File:Francesco Maria Veracini.jpg should be uploaded as new files. Going from greyscale to sepia is not a minor visual change. Abzeronow (talk) 18:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I kindly request the autopatrol right to update and/or improve existing image files. E.g. currently planning to update various French army insignia rotations. Thank you. 19 (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see some more edits from you. Under 100 is generally too low, even accounting for your patroller status on Chinese Wikipedia. Abzeronow (talk) 18:43, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm requesting the autopatrol right to update and/or improve existing image files on Irish Railway and Northern Irish Railway articles. Thank you. RooneyDonal21 (talk) 19:33, 27 June 2024 (Irish Standard Time)
Unfortunately, your edit count is too low for that right at this time. Abzeronow (talk) 20:44, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting the autopatrol right because I am about to update several dozen map files (to reflect minor boundary changes, example here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ECUSA_Chicago.png) which I am currently not allowed to overwrite. Granting autopatrol rights will lighten the burden of reviewing individual file requests at Commons:Overwriting existing files/Requests. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:02, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to apply a deletion notice in bulk to a category of images that I am appealing to be removed due to incorrect copyright status - Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions as per my request at Commons:Deletion_requests/Category:Images_from_Auckland_Museum_marked_with_cultural_permissions. There are ~2500 images requiring this notice as per the deletion request requirements, and OpenRefine seems untenable as a batch editing option as the reconciliation service currently has a bug that has stopped me from doing any editing to that category. Of course, if there is an alternative to AutoWikiBrowser I would be happy to hear it - anything is better than copy and pasting 2500 times! Thank you.

Dactylantha, you could request that job to be done on Commons:Bots/Work requests. --Achim55 (talk) 18:31, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to fix common spelling/formatting errors in English descriptions for files Thank you. Danielt998 (talk) 18:31, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to apply for the File mover right to rename files. I've been contributing on Commons for quite some time, and I have been doing lots of file renaming requests recently. I have a good understanding of the renaming guideline, and I think it would be really helpful if I have the right and could just do the moves myself. Thank you.

I apply for the "File mover" right on Commons. I have been active on this wiki and on other wikis for many years. I would like to move files with problematic names in accordance with the relevant policy myself. I am aware that I subsequently must fix transclusions of the file on wikis using it. Thank you.

[edit]
Though I do not make that much requests, I am very active on Wikimedia Commons since a couple of years and I know the renaming guideline, I won't overuse these rights. Thank you. Niegodzisie (talk) 07:51, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, everyone! I'm writing another message here to reinforce my previous request! Our deadline for the start of the campaign is approaching! Thank you for your attention!. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 19:08, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I would like to request permission to create campaign pages on Wiki Commons. I am part of the project Projeto Mais Teoria da História na Wiki, and we are promoting an event for content editing on Wikimedia projects called Mais Mulheres em Teoria da História na Wiki. One of the activities is uploading images of women intelectualls and the PDF file of women's scientific productions under free license to WikiCommons according to the event's scope. The project has done something similar in the past, with the only difference being the event's theme, as you can see here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard?campaign=MaisDiversidade. Thank you very much in advance. Vsdetoni (Projeto Mais+) (talk) 17:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
