Death of Nex Benedict[edit]

Reason: High level of IP vandalism Snokalok (talk) 18:19, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Requesting indefinite semi Snokalok (talk) 18:20, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Agreed. This can be justified as WP:GENSEX enforcement. Sideswipe9th (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I've semi-protected this article for 24 hours as a stopgap against disruptive editing while discussion continues here about longer protection. — The Anome (talk) 18:44, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
On that note, to all those reading, the justification I believe for indefinite protection is that ultimately this being a GENSEX article makes it at all times a target for IP vandalism, but its inevitable low traffic once the news cycle moves on means that such vandalism may take a while for anyone to actually notice and correct. Thus, an easy filter against this is indefinite semi. Snokalok (talk) 18:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
It's a relatively new article, though ... my feeling is deciding now that it needs indef semi is a little pre-emptive (although based on past GENSEX protections, particularly the very similar Murder of Brianna Ghey, it's likely headed that way). We should give the community its chance to protect the article, or at the very least not impose indef semi without some sort of consensus. Daniel Case (talk) 20:39, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I dunno Daniel Case. There were around a dozen reverts earlier today related to deadname violations, there have been maybe half a dozen pronoun changes, and several other disruptive edits surrounding the killed teen's gender. I'm all for giving the community a chance to protect the article, but I think exhausting the community for something that could be more gracefully handled with semi-protection is not a great idea. With just the deadname violations from earlier, I'm already halfway to the 3RR brightline, and another editor is technically over it though a BLP/BDP exemption justification could be made.
Due to the circumstances surrounding the death of this teen, it's adjacency to the perennial culture war machine Libs of TikTok, and as you admit the similarities to Murder of Brianna Ghey, I really don't think we're in pre-emptive territory here. I think we're in prevention of ongoing disruption territory. Sideswipe9th (talk) 20:57, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I second this position. Even after the news has died down, this will remain one of those critical subjects that will continue receiving just enough attention that reverting vandalism on this article will remain a potentially infrequent, but consistent chore for editors. I find it more reasonable to consider semi-protection an act of preventative maintenance. Agentdoge (talk) 21:12, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I don't disagree. But we should still have some sort of formal allowance for "ECP and 1RR from the get-go" in the case of articles about, or mostly about, individuals whose gender identity calls for different pronouns and/or attracts deadnaming. This is so common with trans or NB individuals that I would defy you to find an article about one where this hasn't had to be done.

But it is nevertheless an extraordinary step to take that, like the other four where this kind of protection is permitted ... to my recollection, Armenia-Azerbaijan articles directly related to the conflict, Arab-Israeli conflict articles very broadly construed (especially in the present situation), the Russo-Ukrainian War and South Asian castes, tribes or ethnicities. All of those as far as I know are the product of some discussion that concluded that pre-emptive protection is justified in these cases. And I would very much prefer we had this discussion in this instance rather than reinvent this particular wheel everytime the subject comes up, because tacitly encouraging this kind of administrative IAR behavior has not always led to the best results in the past. Daniel Case (talk) 21:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

But we should still have some sort of formal allowance for "ECP and 1RR from the get-go" in the case of articles about, or mostly about, individuals whose gender identity calls for different pronouns and/or attracts deadnaming It's funny you say that, because I had previously been thinking that perhaps the provisions of WP:ARBECR should be extended to cover GENSEX. That's not without its own issues though, the recent discussions on the scope of the "edit requests only" have revealed some of the shortcomings of that approach. I think though, because GENSEX is an ArbCom set of sanctions and not the community enacted General Sanctions, such a request would have to go through ARCA, at least as the first port of call. Sideswipe9th (talk) 21:59, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I totally agree. That is exactly what I am advocating.
Where should we open such a discussion? Daniel Case (talk) 22:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
This'd probably need a little bit of planning first, at least to get evidence in support of the request together. After that, it'd be an amendment request at WP:ARCA. Ultimately the decision is up to ArbCom. We could do the prep work on your or my talk page? Sideswipe9th (talk) 22:37, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Yours. Let me know when you've got something. Daniel Case (talk) 01:26, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Hustler[edit]

Reason: Semi-protect. Anon keeps reverting to a preferred version that is now how we write disambiguation pages.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  18:31, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

  • The anon in question opposes, because my edits are consistent with relevant style guidelines, to which SMcCandlish wishes to make an ad-hoc exception. 2601:642:4600:BE10:54F3:2873:7310:F05C (talk) 19:45, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. They're on the talk page. Let's try talking. Report them to WP:ANI if necessary, but it's not there at this point. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 19:43, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
It's getting worse. The IP is intent on revert-warring until they get what they want, and now accusing of "vandalism" when opposed. This needs to stop.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  21:16, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Semi-protected for a period of three days, after which the page will be automatically unprotected. Daniel Case (talk) 21:28, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Why did you protect this? There were no further edits from the IP editor after I declined the request. The IP editor had posted to the talk page (nobody has replied) and then SMcCandlish claimed it's getting worse, but I only see good faith edits. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
If you would like to unprotect it, go ahead. Daniel Case (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Question: @SMcCandlish: How is it getting worse since 19:43 UTC? Daniel Quinlan (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
Actually, I have unprotected. @SMcCandlish: Per this discussion, please respond to the IP on the article talk page. Daniel Case (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
A) I already said how it's getting worse, by the anon accusing people of "vandalism" for daring to disagree; b) I've already opened a broader input discussion at WT:MOSDAB since pretty much no one watchlists Talk:Hustler or much of any other DAB talk page.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  23:53, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I gave the anon a link to that discussion on the talk page, per the standard courtesy. Daniel Case (talk) 01:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
@SMcCandlish: I looked at the whole situation when I declined the request. You've equivocally responded that It's getting worse and now accusing which succeeded in getting another administrator to briefly protect the article. And now you've moved the discussion to your preferred venue without responding to the other editor's attempt to initiate a conversation on the talk page, even just to inform them of the new discussion. That seems like an inordinate amount of WP:GAMING to win a disagreement over one line in a disambiguation page. Daniel Case even asked you to respond. Finally, "vandalism" being asserted is an opportunity for education, not carte blanche. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 01:36, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
The anon obviously followed me immediately to this venue, there was no reason to expect them not to follow to the other.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  03:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Declined – Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection. Replying again for the bot. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:03, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for reduction in protection level[edit]

Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level

Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin at their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

  • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page" which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
  • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
  • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
  • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page please add ((Edit fully-protected)) to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected please use the section below.
Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

75th Primetime Emmy Awards[edit]

Reason: The protection is unnecessary because it wasn't vandalized before its unnecessary semi-protected, there was no reason to semi-protect it despite the account being blocked, this goes for all the other pages that was just semi-protected. 2603:6081:893D:13AC:C0C6:7687:D3C1:DA03 (talk) 04:09, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Comment: It was literally just protected, and the article's history indicates it's hardly "unnecessary". - Sumanuil. (talk to me) 06:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Declined as it was protected to prevent block evading editors from editing, and it appears to be working as advertised. The same for the others, which I already checked out. Dennis Brown 06:20, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Current requests for edits to a protected page[edit]

Request a specific edit to a protected page
Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here

Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

  • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among ((Edit protected)), ((Edit template-protected)), ((Edit extended-protected)), or ((Edit semi-protected)) to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
  • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Wikipedia:Suggestions for COI compliance), the ((Edit COI)) template should be used.
  • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Wikipedia:Requested moves, not here.
  • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
  • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.

Requests for autopatrolled

Autopatrolled[edit]

User:BhamBoi[edit]

Link to previous denied request: Special:Permalink/1157787269#User:BhamBoi, and a ping to @Schwede66. Please use sigma to view my created articles, as xtools does not filter out redirects.

I've created 62 articles, and I'd like to receive the autopatrolled right because I've addressed all the concerns from my previous request—namely, my last 3 articles (Shang-Ping Xie, Highly Cited Researchers program, and Jeffrey B. Remmel) received no human edits after publication and patrol, showing my competency in writing articles that don't need another set of eyes on them before patrol.

Thanks! BhamBoi (talk) 17:49, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

Just an update for transparency—there had not been any human edits to Remmel when I posted my request, but now a cosmetic edit to a template has been made—though it should not affect my request. BhamBoi (talk) 19:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Since this request, I created George L. King, which was patrolled with no issues. BhamBoi (talk) 00:47, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
@Schwede66: sorry to ping you again, but this request has been up with no response for a month, and I was hoping you or any other admin could look at it BhamBoi (talk) 19:10, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
 Done I've looked over your last 10 articles and they were all nice and clean. If I have one complaint, it's that I had to place two citation needed tags in one of those articles, but that was it. Well done. Schwede66 05:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Hinnk[edit]

Been contributing on and off for 10 years, created a few dozen articles and DYK entries. hinnk (talk) 21:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm leaning towards declining for now. Your last 25 articles stretch all the way back to early 2021, and you have only created four articles in 2024 thus far and five in all of 2023. Since your articles haven't had much impact on the new pages feed, NPP won't have their load reduced by much from marking you as autopatrolled. Another admin can give their own opinion, but for now I'm learning towards declining, though I would encourage you to re-apply if you end up making articles more consistently. The Night Watch (talk) 02:26, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
 Done I've had a look over your last five articles and they were flawless. Good work! Curtesy ping to The Night Watch. Schwede66 06:12, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

User:AlejandroFC[edit]

I would like to request autopatrolled rights since I believe I qualify for them and I also believe they could be useful in the future creation of new pages. If another user's testimony is needed, User:Mccapra usually reviews the pages I create and was also kind enough to suggest this request. Thank you in advance. AlejandroFC (talk) 08:42, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

User:TipsyElephant[edit]

I have created over 200 articles. I started by first putting drafts through AfC until I felt comfortable moving them to mainspace myself. I am an AfC reviewer. I have contributed to a significant number of AfDs with a decent track record of !votes matching community consensus. TipsyElephant (talk) 20:00, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Here's the first article I've created this month: The Blind Contessa's New Machine. I noticed some other editors were declined because they haven't worked much with BLPs. Looks like the last BLP I created was Nicholas Quah. I review BLPs at AfC regularly as well. However, I would completely understand if my request was declined on those grounds because I don't create BLP articles very frequently. TipsyElephant (talk) 12:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Decided to publish another article about a book to mainspace today: The Informed Parent TipsyElephant (talk) 04:31, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

User:A.WagnerC[edit]

Hello everybody. I'm actually a more active editor on ptwiki, since 2015, but I've also been editing on enwiki. I have already created 27 articles. My counter has 25 articles, but I also created Bubble Bobble 4 Friends and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2, which unfortunately didn't enter my counter. I also participated in the promotion for GA of the Valis III article. I will soon promote Lupe Cotrim. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 01:16, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends was just a redirect. I tried to ask for the redirect to be speedy deleted, and thus to count count as my creation. But unfortunately the administrator refused my request. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 12:28, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello!
You appear to have created one mainspace article since 1 January 2023 (Alyne Pimentel v Brazil). I'm also seeing some hesitance from TheSandDoctor in a 2022 comment after the user granted you the right temporarily. Can you explain a bit more as to your reason for requesting this right at this time?
Thank you,
Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:44, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Red-tailed hawk, I am requesting autopatrolled status for two reasons:
  • To reduce the workload for reviewers.
  • I believe my articles do not present serious issues that always necessitate the approval of some reviewer.
Finding new entries to create on enwiki is often challenging, as the entry almost always already exists, unlike on ptwiki, where there is a lot of material to be translated from enwiki. I also prefer not to create articles on just any topic; I like to focus on subjects for which I have a greater affinity. Indeed, there have been months when I haven't been very active, as well as months when I have been quite active. However, I believe that having Autopatrolled status is more about the quality of the content created than about being extremely active. ✍A.WagnerC (talk) 15:25, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
This feels premature given that you've created 1 article in the past 15 months and you just barely meet the minimum number of articles. As a member of NPP, I must say, you're really not adding much to the workload and granting you AP doesn't seem like it'd really help us out at all. Hey man im josh (talk) 03:44, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
 Not done. With respect to Autopatrolled status is more about the quality of the content created than about being extremely active, no, it's not. The purpose of that role on the English Wikipedia is to reduce actual workload for reviewers. Your articles are generally of good quality, but I just don't see a need for the role here. You are free to reapply when you would like, but I would expect it to be declined unless you resume engaging in prolific levels of article creation. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:19, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

User:T. E. Meeks[edit]

Has created 50 articles over the past year, the vast majority (all?) well-referenced and with no outstanding maintenance tags. This relitigation of a minor 2021 dispute is the only controversy she's been involved in over that timeframe. I notice that she has put in a few inappropriate external links to YouTube, but if those were too minor for previous patrollers to change, they're probably too minor to hold up this user right. Cheers, Mach61 (talk) 00:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

User:নবাব[edit]

I have created around 80 articles. So, I would like to request autopatrolled rights since I believe I qualify for them and I also believe they could be useful in the future creation of new pages. নবাব (talk) 19:03, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

User:I'm tla[edit]

I've created 28 articles in the mainspace, most start/c class, 19 of which are BLPs (a recent example is Maha Mamo, and a B-class (hopefully, soon to be WP:GA) Looksmaxxing. 0 are deleted, they have only been tagged for being an orphan which I fixed soon after (also A7 CSD tagged once incorrectly), and the only "issue" was not using the more-preferred WP:IMDBTEMPLATE. I have strong knowledge of notability requirements via my AfDs stats as well. My user page has a record of some BLP drafts that I plan to work on in the coming days, so I don't want to clog the big backlog. Thanks! TLA (talk) 07:45, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

See my comments below in regards to their request for AWB. This all comes off as hatcollecting, even if not intentional. S0091 (talk) 23:52, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
@S0091, at this point, I feel like you are attacking me, sorry. I work too fast regarding the backends of Wikipedia, but I clearly have a use for this permission. I made 29 guideline-meeting articles in a month, not hat collecting. TLAtlak 00:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@I'm tla no, I am not attacking you but expressing genuine concerns which another editor also expressed at your AWB request. Like I said at your AfC reviewer request, an admin will make their own assessment. I will also note I have accepted one your drafts so your count is now 29 articles. S0091 (talk) 16:58, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
You're right, sorry I got a bit worked up. Assessor, please take a look at my request at AfC participants to get more context. Also, I recently did Divya Thakur and a few others, count is at 31, thanks. TLAtlak 17:13, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Just came to my mind why autopatrolled would help me a lot in my creations. As a member of WP:WikiProject_Internet_culture, I cover new "trends" but I'm unable to make them lengthy by myself. For example, I recently made Unexpected Red Theory, but as I'm not a design expert, it's not exactly for me to expand that much. Good past examples I've done are Looksmaxxing and Mewing (facial restructuring technique) which have seen substantial changes that I wouldn't have come up with without it being indexed and eventually gaining the contributions of more editors or even IP editors. As my goal is to get 3 WP:GA in internet culture, and then maybe 1 in the field of human rights activism (another project I'm a part of), I think this would be important. 'preciate it! TLAtlak 04:35, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
 Not done. You have really only been editing regularly for a little over a month, and autopatrolled "is not normally given to very new editors, regardless of the number of articles created". Your articles will all be reviewed and indexed in good time: there's no rush. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

User:GlashaLeo[edit]

I think it's time for enhancing the rights of one of the most active contributors in the field of Badminton in Wikipedia, who has created close to 500 articles. Thankyou. zoglophie•talk• 16:05, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

User:ZackCarns[edit]

Reason for requesting autopatrolled rights
I understand that I am an newer user and have not created any pages yet, but I am seeing if by any chance that I could be an autopatroller. My request is mainly based on being able to overwrite svg files that I have created, but am not able to actually upload because of this issue. If I am eligble for the title of autpatroller, and I highly doubt I am, I would like to be one.
I apologize to the administrator or administrators who have to waste their time on this subject, but I am just trying to see if a possible avenue is open to a problem I have. If it is great. But I doubt it is. Thanks for reading this mini essay I have typed and thanks again for your time. ZackCarns (talk) 21:18, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 Not done; see [1] (on your talk page) ~ ToBeFree (talk) 23:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

User:IgnatiusofLondon[edit]

While I'm not at the suggested standard of 25 articles yet, the 13 non-redirect articles I have created illustrate quality (typically rated C- or B-class), and my AfD statistics are alright (I only mention them to demonstrate familiarity with notability guidelines). I publish articles in a near-finished state from userspace drafts. Only two pages have been deleted: a userspace page whose deletion I requested after moving its contents to mainspace, and an AfC draft on a theme park I abandoned after finding insufficient sources.

Moreover, because I edit on Italian-language topics, the articles I create often require a redirect or two. On other articles I've extensively edited, I've leveraged local knowledge to move a few pages per WP:COMMONNAME or WP:RFOREIGN (e.g. Ferrovia Rimini-San Marino, Federico Fellini International Airport). I hope the quality of the articles I have already published, when matched with the topics I edit sometimes requiring redirects, justify granting autopatrolled rights early in a marginal contribution towards the NPP backlog.

 Not done for now. I examined your articles and they do appear to be of quality, but you've created only 13 of them, and you also appear to have only made 19 redirects in mainspace so far. Your current rate of creating articles won't have much of an impact on the new pages feed, so I don't see much of a need to grant you autopatrolled at the moment. If you create some more clean articles on a consistent basis, I would encourage you to re-apply, or maybe try the redirect autopatrol if you end up creating a large amount of redirects. The Night Watch (talk) 22:23, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
I didn't realise that redirect autopatrol existed! Definitely a better fit. Thanks! IgnatiusofLondon (talk) 22:29, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Saw an editor use this, looks efficient for some maintenance work. Have 1K+ manual mainspace edits. TLA (talk) 01:51, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

The last thing this editor needs is something that speeds up their editing. See this ANI about them closing AfDs too quickly, three requests to be an AfC reviewer which noted they are doing things too quickly (along with other issues), this ANI report they filed incorrectly because part of the issue was they moved an article to draft too quickly, along with messages on their talk page telling them that essentially they acted to hastily and to slow down. Not to mention they are requesting autopatrol above and they requested to be an NPP reviewer [twice] in the matter of a month. S0091 (talk) 23:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Almost seems like they are WP:HATC to earn rights. No offense, but there are too many AfDs they have closed, it seems based on my reviews of them. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 00:37, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

I strongly disagree I'm hatcollecting. Please don't think of me that way. I want to help this project.

Requests for new page reviewer

New page reviewer[edit]

User:Broc[edit]

Adding new pages can bring large value to the encyclopedia, but it is critical that articles are checked shortly after they are created and not months later, so that there is a good chance the editor will still be around to improve the page. That's why I would like to help reducing the backlog.

I have been more active on Wikipedia since a couple months but I have been here since many years, I have created some articles myself of which 2 DYI, and have some experience with AfD.

I started NPPschool but the trainer has been unresponsive ever since I started; as the alternative is learn by doing, I am applying for a trial period as patroller. Broc (talk) 16:40, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

@Broc: User:Cassiopeia/NPPSchool/Broc isn't a talk page, so mentions don't send notifications from there. That would be why User:Cassiopeia didn't see your messages. SilverLocust 💬 05:58, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Oh dear, that's not true. I should have tested that first. I had misunderstood WP:MENTION's "when someone mentions you on a talk page" as being a requirement (on non-project pages, that is). SilverLocust 💬 06:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out, but it was specifically requested by the trainer to use that page as communication channel. The message was indeed received as you can see by the entry in User:Cassiopeia/todo. I feel this is a bit off-topic, however. Broc (talk) 06:23, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

To review the assignment do take time and I need to log in a time to do that as it is not an edit I can just add a short sourced content. I apologies for the waiting. Give me a few days and I will review your assignment. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 07:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Requests for pending changes reviewer

Pending changes reviewer[edit]

User:TNstingray[edit]

Hi, I'm requesting the responsibility to be a Pending Changes Reviewer. I believe I have a significant history of addressing vandals on various pages, as recent history is typically one of the first things I look at anyway when editing a given page. I believe I have the experience and maturity necessary to exercise this right, hopefully beyond the six criteria provided at WP:RPC. I will only use this tool to enhance my contributions to the betterment of the encyclopedia. This is my first request for permissions. Thank you for your consideration.

I have seen plenty of good edits while doing RCP that end up staying pending with no issues and would like to help speed along their inclusion when I come across them. If I happen upon a genuine content dispute or end up getting involved in one, my current tactic is to ask a third party for help if things start to feel too heated. I match everything on WP:RPC as far as I can tell.  💬 19:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

I have been using twinkle for a while now and have gotten familiar with it. Having rollbacks would be useful. SKAG123 (talk) 00:05, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits. Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or RedWarn that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 21:17, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
Some of these edits were reverted days after being made. Do I still need to warn editors after? Thanks SKAG123 (talk) 04:30, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Yes. -Fastily 04:59, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
Upon re-review, I'm going to mark this one  Not done. It's tough for me to confidently say whether you'd use the tool effectively, and I think you'll benefit from more experience. Please follow my advice above and reapply in a month if you're still interested. -Fastily 22:29, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Ybsone[edit]

One and a half months ago I requested rollback permissions and was instructed to patrol and notify users of the reverts, which I have done on multiple occasions. My original reason for permissions did not change. I mainly edit and watch over automotive articles, where a common misconception is that an introduction year is the same as start of production. I have spent a lot of time searching for sources proving the correct production start and vandals keep reverting the dates even when there is a reference or even deleting the ref. Sometimes they do multiple nonsensical edits at once just because of some common rumours or misconceptions or lack of understanding for the units of measurements differences. Thank You for Your time.

I issued 30-something warnings in past two months, mostly from watchlisted articles. What is the required level? YBSOne (talk) 22:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to see at least a month of sustained activity patrolling Recent Changes. Also you're still not consistently warning editors when you revert their edits; here are some examples from the past day: 1, 2, 3. -Fastily 22:41, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Asparagusus[edit]

Hello! I'd like to request rollback rights because I patrol RecentChanges often and think it would be beneficial to my reverting, and I'd like to use the AntiVandal script. I've been patrolling RC since September 2023, and I also have Pending Change Reviewer userrights. I'm an AfC reviewer, so I am used to seeing problematic edits and know what to do about them (see my CSD log or my AfC stats), as well as how to communicate with new editors. —asparagusus (interaction) sprouts! 18:03, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Been a user for a couple of years already, reverting vandalism preferably in articles I keep on my watchlist. I have been for a long time too, a rollbacker on the Spanish Wikipedia, Wikidata and on Commons, so I think I can use the tool accordingly with the local policy. I last applied two years ago and have since used Twinkle, while also adding warnings when needed on users' talk pages. Bedivere (talk) 01:48, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Requests for template editor

Template editor[edit]

User:Sundostund[edit]

Hello. I respectfully request to be given this access level, primarily because of my periodical work on templates belonging to Category:Country data templates by type of entity. I simply don't want to bother others with template-protected edit requests. Furthermore, if my request is granted, I certainly wouldn't misuse this new right in any way – in the same way as I never misused the right of file mover, which I have for almost 10 years now (while contributing to Wikipedia for almost 14 years). — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 15:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sundostund question - when editing TPROT'd WP:HRT's, would you need to change the way you edit templates today? If so, how? — xaosflux Talk 15:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: I would say that, when editing HRT's, one needs to be extra careful in order to avoid any disruption in their functionality and appearance. I am already behaving in that way with regular, unprotected templates that I can edit at this point. Also, especially in the beginning, I would refrain from any radical/substantial edits on HRT's. So, my work would be limited to less far-reaching edits at certain Country data templates. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 18:08, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@Sundostund I'm a bit concerned about editing practices such as this recent series of changes. Would you have treated that template different if it was an HRT? — xaosflux Talk 19:07, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: Please, clarify why exactly you are concerned about it. Obviously, I understand that I've done a certain number of edits in a short span of time on that template, until I was satisfied with the final version. Naturally, if that template was a highly-sensitive HRT I would treat it differently – I would try to finish the work on it with much less number of edits, maybe two or three at most. And of course, I wouldn't change the appearance of an HRT in any radical way. But, as you can see, I also didn't do that with the Dominican template – my changes and their final version didn't alter its appearance in some substantial way. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 20:28, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Say we have a template that has tens of thousands or more transclusions - each edit causes a massive joblog job to need to rebuild pages and caches; making 12 edits instead of 1 causes that to happen over and over again. For low use templates, iterative edits are no big deal - but otherwise sandboxes exist for a good reason. — xaosflux Talk 20:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
(Non-administrator comment) Xaosflux is concerned with why are you making many edits, as you say until I was satisfied with the final version, in these instances those edits should have been made in the template's sandbox until you're satisfied with the results, then make one edit to the live template. I wonder why myself. - FlightTime (open channel) 20:39, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@Xaosflux: That's exactly what I assumed in my reply above. I would certainly limit my number of edits on HRT templates with a high number of transclusions, and I would try to get the job done with as less number of edits as possible.
@FlightTime: It wasn't my intention to have so many edits on that template at all, and I thought that I would finish the work on it with just a few edits. Obviously, if it was a HRT template, I would either use the sandbox or perform just a couple of edits to the live template.
Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 20:49, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
I think the correct answer to this question is that for high-risk templates, you need to /sandbox your changes, and then deploy them in one diff instead of 12. This is due to server load issues, and due to the risk of an accidental breakage even for a minute being seen by a lot of readers. Template:High-use talks about this a bit more:
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage.
Anyway, it sounds like you don't know about template sandboxing, which is not a good sign and may be a reason to decline this request as a little premature. –Novem Linguae (talk) 20:56, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
@Novem Linguae: I am aware how sensitive HRT templates are, and I certainly wouldn't perform like a dozen of edits on such a template. Of course that I would use a sandbox. Its just that, up to this point, I didn't work on templates that absolutely require use of sandbox, if the intended changes couldn't be performed in just a couple of edits. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 21:04, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
