Hi everyone, I've created 55 articles dating back to 2010. In that time, five have been deleted, but only one since 2017. Another one was recreated, so only four deletions overall. One of my fairly recent articles, Hymns from the Rig Veda, was selected a few months ago for the Main Page 'Did You Know' column. Hoping you will consider me for AP, cheers. merlinVtwelve (talk) 06:09, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Xtools shows you've created no articles in 2026 and 11 in 2025, with only one since August of last year. Do you intend to increase your content creation? Otherwise there's not really any benefit to being autopatrolled because at this pace your creations are not a meaningful burden for patrollers to review.

I have created approximately 30 articles to date. On April 4th, one of my articles, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center was recently listed on the Wikipedia main page in the "Did you know..." section with the hook, "... that lungworms led to the creation of the Pacific Marine Mammal Center?" I believe this demonstrates my commitment to adhering to WP policies well beyond the basic requirements, having created a newly written article of sufficient quality to placement on the main page. I am well-acquainted with and fully support the policies governing article creation, particularly WP:GNG, WP:SIGCOV and the various subject-specific notability guidelines and I will continue to adhere to them to the best of my ability.

@Gjb0zWxOb: why does PMMC meet WP:NORG? Why does Privacy4Cars meet WP:NCORP? voorts (talk/contributions) 04:33, 11 April 2026 (UTC)

For PMMC, the center received significant, in-depth coverage that focused on the center specifically in outlets such as the LA Times, Orange County Register, and many others, even about specific developments it was doing like the $14 million expansion and the organization's founding story. Privacy4Cars is covered extensively in many reliable sources and its products were described substantively in CNBC, Consumer Reports, Vice, and AP News coverage that is more than a passing mention but admittedly, a number of the sources discuss vehicle data privacy broadly and only mention P4C but I do think that the substantive description of the Corp's product from a diverse group of highly reputable sources does assist in having it meet NCORP. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 15:22, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

@Gjb0zWxOb: WP:SIRS requires secondary sourcing. For PMMC in particular, those all seem to be primary sources or routine coverage. voorts (talk/contributions) 15:40, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I would like to understand your concern better. The 2016 OC Register article is a secondary source written by an independent journalist about the organization's founding and history and the 2023 LA Times article substantially covers the $14 million expansion of the center. Many of the other sources I used are similarly staff-written articles from independent reliable publications that go beyond routine reporting. There may be a couple sources used that are routine coverage, but I believe that the article as a whole has sufficient independent, reliable, secondary sourcing to meet NORG.

I want to find all the pages titled Thout 1, Thout 2, Thout 3, etc and redirect them to Thout, and do this for all the other articles about Category:Days of the Coptic calendar.

I regularly move pages on biological species and higher taxa. This can be because the taxonomy has changed based on new research or to help organise pages based on current project guidelines (titles for articles, monotypic taxa, etc). Generally I have just asked someone else with the rights to help on talk pages, but it would be more convenient for all if I could do this myself. I'm a template editor, so am already trusted to have the technical expertise to make edits that can affect many pages.  —  Jts1882 | talk  13:53, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi! I previously held page mover for two months but then got distracted by my personal live, but now am back. I didn't think I'd want it back already but while working the trenches in recent changes and NPP the odd situation with new and confused users presented itself on a few occasions already. I think being able to help these users quickly and right then would make their experience a lot better than explaining RMTR and its workings, potentially making them stay as an editor.

I don't think I'd want to do mainly page moves from the get-go but rather helping where I come across it.

I have been active for around four years now, and have become involved in New Page Patrol recently (though I don't have the right yet!) As a reviewer, I come across articles that have potential but are not yet ready for mainspace, and I have to draftify them to follow the most constructive path forward. However, moving these articles currently leaves behind a cross-namespace redirect in the mainspace. Granting me the page mover permission would allow me to suppress these redirects at the time of the move. This will also eliminate the need for WP:R2 or WP:G8 speedy deletion requests, thereby saving significant administrative work. I had the right granted for a period of 3 months in the past, and I would like to have them permanently for the ease of my work.  Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 13:00, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I'm not seeing consensus to move here. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:01, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Your rationale also has some issues. Nobody discussed COMMONNAME in the discussion, and the Google Maps name isn't relevant in determining the official name of a place. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:02, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I would suggest relisting the discussion. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:03, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

To be fair, I would have closed it the same way because of a mix of WP:RMNOMIN and WP:IAR. The only other participant isn't really contesting the move, no one has outright opposed after two relists, and searching myself plus the links given by the nominator show that the name is probably an error. The rationale could be better though. HurricaneZeta^C 00:22, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Though outside of that there's not a lot of activity in RMs or moves. @Itcouldbepossible you just returned after 2 years, so I think you should get more experience before re-requesting this perm. WP:RMCI might be helpful, and you can always review WP:NC and its various subpages whenever relevant. HurricaneZeta^C 00:28, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Voorts, thank you for your feedback. I agree that my closing rationale was poorly phrased should have explicitly referenced the official Boulder County plat documents that the nominator had provided in the nomination, but I will still stand firmly of my action of moving the page, rather than relisting it for a third time, mainly because of two reasons. The request had been open for over a month and had already had relisting been done twice. There was no opposition, and the only other participant Speederzzz, had initially asked for proof, and the nominator duly provided the official government plats, and Speederzzz's response was, I presume, positive. Therefore, relisting an unopposed move for a third time felt unnecessarily bureaucratic. Secondly, even though no one had explicitly mentioned about WP:COMMONNAME in the discussion, I felt that the nominator's evidence about local HOA names and bus routes, was a fundamental COMMONNAME argument, and the country's plat evidence did establish WP:OFFICIALNAME. And hence, I weighed the strength of the evidence against our naming conventions, rather than just counting which shortcuts were name dropped.

Hi @HurricaneZeta, thank you for pointing me to WP:RMCI and WP:NC; I am going to read through those and will try and spend the next few weeks participating and gain some experience.

If the reviewing admin feels it is best to decline this request for now while I get those "reps" in, I completely understand and will reapply when I have a stronger recent track record.Thank you everyone for the constructive feedback! Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 09:12, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

I do a fair bit of anti-vandalism patrolling, and as a result wind up looking at a pretty fair amount of pending changes. Since I'm looking at them regardless, it would be helpful for me to be able to approve them if they're good edits.

I've been patrolling recent changes for a while now and I'd like to try using some of the more semi-automated tools (Huggle, RedWarn, etc.) to make the job a little easier. I've just been using the "undo" function, but being able to warn users through a program would be helpful for the task. Sigma440 (talk) 06:03, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Sigma440 FYI Redwarn, Ultraviolet and Twinkle don't require the rollback permission, and all allow for easier warnings of users. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 13:23, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Speaking on the merits of giving rollback; I did a spot check of some 20 or so reverts in the mainspace within the past 500 edits and they seemed all good, though I focused on reverts with 'rvv' or no custom edit summary. Sigma440 has a good ratio of mainspace to user talk, indicating they are reliably giving warnings. The lack of edits to AIV (only 16) is a bit strange. There doesn't appear to be a solid month of counter-vandalism (at least recently), more on and off, but it appears to have been happening since January 2024. I think there is low risk in giving complete rollback, or if a trial is desired maybe something like 3 months would be best. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 15:07, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd say I go through phases of being able to spend time looking out for questionable edits on Wikipedia; it mainly depends on how much extra free time I have besides work. There are honestly weeks (sometimes months) where I'm just so exhausted that I don't find myself doing much else. I checked my calendar and saw that I'd likely have more availability for Wikipedia business in the near future so I figured I'd apply for rollback and try out some of the tools that actually require that particular permission. Anything to make the patrolling job easier or more efficient is a plus in my book.

In any case, I appreciate your thoughts on the whole thing! It's nice to hear advice from folks who know a thing or two about things around here. Sigma440 (talk) 03:53, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been primarily reverting bad faith edits by confirmed sock puppets on the page Average human height by country. I also edit a variety of other pages, but the primary one concerned with reverting vandalism is that page. This page has had at least one confirmed user who constantly vandalizes the page and creates new sock puppets to do so. It would be appreciated if I were granted rollback privileges, because it takes a long time to manually undo vandalism, especially when it happens at a fairly high frequency. My account has over 200 main page edits and I do not have a history getting in trouble, edit warring, or vandalizing pages. I do have a history getting multiple sock puppet accounts banned and reverting their vandalism. Quantum Mechanical Engineer (talk) 21:53, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Quantum Mechanical Engineer, I'm not seeing the month of experience patrolling Special:RecentChanges that is expected of rollbackers.

As I am expanding my WikiProject development work, I need the ability to change the content model of some Wikipedia namespace pages to set up .CSS pages for styling purposes. Also, I anticipate occasionally having the need to make edits to high-use templates, especially related to WikiProjects - although certainly in those cases, if there is the least possibility for controversy, I will ask on the Talk page. I should have enough background with template creation and modifications, but note I've done a lot of template-like creation/editing in the Wikipedia and user namespaces which may exceed that in the Template namespace (ex. Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville's front page, which transcludes much of what is displayed, most of which are my template-like creations in subpages).

I've also recently modified a couple semi-protected high-use templates with no issues from my work since the change ({{Assessment Class Summary}}, {{New entry}}). Additionally, I have created a couple modules (so far). I realize creating database reports may not appear to constitute template/module creation on their face, but the many I've worked on demonstrate a reasonably deep technical capability, including the common need to create subtemplates that reports transclude.

Last, I will handle TE requests on an ad hoc basis, although I admit that's not the core rationale for my request.

I have thoroughly read the guidelines with respect to this user right, and I will abide by them. the Stefen 𝕋ower 08:49, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Stefen, I'm a bit confused as to why you want this perm, because from my read of your request none of what you want to edit is likely to be template-protected. Primefac (talk) 10:00, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Well, these instances will admittedly be unusual (although I recently requested a change in a high-traffic template recently), but I'm more interested in being able to change the content model of a page for .CSS when necessary. It's a shame that capability cannot be given to experienced editors on its own. But yes, running into high-traffic templates to change is not on my regular path of wiki work. the Stefen 𝕋ower 10:26, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

.css files are not locked by default, which is why I am having difficulty assessing your need for the perm. Could you give some examples of what sort of edits you would be making, and examples of where you weren't able to do this because of protection? Primefac (talk) 10:54, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Changing content models is restricted to template editors. – SD0001 (talk) 15:53, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

How often will do you need to change the content model though, could you point to examples? Sohom (talk) 17:38, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Examples of when I've had the content model changed before was for Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville/Infobox/styles.css and Wikipedia:WikiProject Louisville/Navigation/styles.css.

This is one of those kinds of things where I'm not busy doing it right now but I anticipate needing to do it in the coming months to improve WikiProjects. It's either going to be me 1) changing the content models myself (with the TE user right); or 2) pestering a TE/admin to change them for me. I don't like to pester people for simple changes - it's somewhat disincentivizing to me getting things done that depend on such changes. the Stefen 𝕋ower 21:54, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Create a subpage of Template:TemplateStyles sandbox and move it wherever you want. (also the next meta:Tech/News tells me there will be software changes which will allow anyone to create such content model pages anywhere on wiki). I'm leaning decline here. Sohom (talk) 03:45, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I also just got the tech news. So I tested creating pages with sanitized-css in user and project space, and it works. Thus, I am withdrawing my request. Any necessity for me having this right is now very much diminished, thanks to this unexpected development.

Thank you all for considering my request and asking pertinent questions. A very good solution fell into our laps. the Stefen 𝕋ower 19:55, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

They are not locked in the template space, but they are in the Wikipedia and user namespaces, per my experience. And not being able to change the content model in my user space makes it impossible to test a .css subpage for a page I'm developing. the Stefen 𝕋ower 21:57, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Requesting this flag due to its need in patrolling new pages and drafts, many time I see "author blocked" tag and if author is using any other username or temporary account, it becomes easier to connect the whole situation and report at WP:SPI. ✓ortexPhantom (talk) 08:38, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

I would like to request the "temporary account IP viewer" permission to help fight persistent vandalism by IPs using multiple temporary accounts more quickly and efficiently, as users who engage in dynamic IP hopping while vandalising Wikipedia cannot be as easily traced. Most of my 2500-plus edits over the last three years are related to reverting vandalism using Huggle, and I ensure vandals are warned appropriately after reverting their edits. However, this IP information would allow me to make more useful reports, so that temporary accounts and the underlying IPs/ranges performing similar actions on similar pages can all be reported and dealt with efficiently. I have read and am familiar with WP:TAIV. ContributeToTheWiki (talk • contribs) 22:00, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

I recently filed a SPI where I reported one TA as being the same person as a blocked user. Another user found another TA with the same IP. If I had had this permission I may have been able to find both TAs myself. InfernoHues (talk) 03:39, 14 April 2026 (UTC)

The right to view IP addresses without publicizing them was suggested to me at this SPI page that I initiated. Vandalism is one thing, but sockpuppetry is something I've been concerned about more. George Ho (talk) 09:41, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
