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 and extended uploader flag.


Confirmed[edit]

Autopatrol[edit]

Xiplus[edit]

Fix broken template transclusions. Thank you. Xiplus (talk) 11:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Xiplus: You would replace "{{subst:上传由zh.wp UW添加的标记}}" with {{Uploaded with zh.wp UW marker}}, rather than delete it?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:41, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.:Yes. Is there anything wrong?--Xiplus (talk) 11:46, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Xiplus: Have you read Commons:Village pump/Archive/2017/07#Purpose of Template:Custom license marker?   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 11:58, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.:The Upload Wizard in Chinese Wikipedia was copied from English Wikipedia. So I create the template like {{Uploaded with en.wp UW marker}}. And the file uploaded by English Upload Wizard still contains the template now.--Xiplus (talk) 12:16, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Xiplus: I think they should both go away.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 13:09, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Jeff G.: OK. I will remove those templates. And uploads from zhwp will no longer add the template..--Xiplus (talk) 14:39, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
@Xiplus: Thank you.   — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 16:12, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

Filemover[edit]

System-search.svgSee also: Renaming guideline.
As a rough guideline, administrators usually require editors to have made between 1,000 and 1,500 useful, non-botlike edits or a large amount of justified renaming requests at the Commons before they will consider granting the filemover right.

HueMan1[edit]

I would like to become a filemover to help renaming road sign diagrams (specifically in the Philippines) Thank you. hueman1 (talk) 03:18, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Hey, guys? What happened? Am I qualified or not?. hueman1 (talk) 03:58, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

ReaperDawn[edit]

As an active Commons user with 1,661 edits I love to upload my own photographs or convert some PNG files to SVG. Sometimes, I made mistakes with the filename so I want to be able to change bad filename myself. Thank you. ReaperDawn 12:04, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

JAn Dudík[edit]

As an active user in cs.wiki, wikidata and sometimes other projects, I sometimes find file with misleading name or with mistake in name. I am active for more than 10 years even in commons. There are not many czech renamers, so one more wold be useful. JAn Dudík (talk) 10:56, 16 November 2018 (UTC)


Labattblueboy[edit]

I have 150K edits the the commons and somewhere close to 750 image uploads, 12K edits in en.wiki (inclusive of a number of FAs/GAs) as well as 1,200 wikidata edits. My primary area of interest here is war art, maps and photographs, although this does sometimes spill over into art gallery clean-up from time-to-time. In using this tool, I intend to correct spelling mistake and accession numbers, or simply expanding on file names to include the artist/artwork title depending on which is missing from the file name. Lots of file names really are quite short and I would like to begin making making more corrections in this area. Thank you. Labattblueboy (talk) 14:21, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

Legoktm[edit]

I'm working on importing SCOTUS oral arguments, which are in mp3 format, and are PD-USGov. I'd like to think I have a solid understanding of licensing and know what's in scope for commons. Thank you. Legoktm (talk) 03:51, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
Done. — regards, Revi 04:03, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
