Reason: Persistent attempts by socks/meats of the subject to linguistically cleanse the subject's bio during the 500 élus habilités signature stage of the presidential election.

Semi-protection: Persistent vandalism – The article is currently attracting significant attention following recent public controversy involving Chief Justice Surya Kant. As a result, multiple editors, including newly created accounts, are attempting to make disruptive or potentially biased changes to the page. Given the ongoing public interest and the increased risk of edit warring and vandalism, I request that the article be placed under temporary protection until the situation stabilizes.

Numerous people have changed it to sound more neutral but it is constantly being changed to sound biased towards Morocco. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 15:03, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
Reason: Has been targeted by a paid editing meatpuppetry group (see this for details). Recent history of many reversions, including from group members placing CSD banners on the article. Blocks have been given, however to prevent further disruption, an increase in page protection is warranted. 11WB 💬 15:25, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Reason: I requested protection for a month a little while ago due to constant nonconstructive edits regarding whether or not Iran still uses the plane, which did help, but since the protection expired more of the same unhelpful edits have been flooding in from temp accounts or users with few edits. I think autoconfirmed protection for 6 months would help block the unhelpful edits and wouldn't disrupt any useful editing of the article. Shawtybaespade (talk) 19:38, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Autopatrolled[edit]
I plan on filling out all the Bivalve-related redlinks, and I do not want the might of these mollusks to fill the backlog. - RealGatba (talk) (contribs) 23:13, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
I have created over 40 articles which has reliable, independent sources (excluding an set index article) out of the 55 articles I created, primarily about US articles, including mostly factories, some vehicle models, and a few biographies such as Whirlpool Clyde plant, IC Bus CE Series, and J. Douglas Adams. I was still planning to continue contributing and creating new articles every week. My old request I requested it on June 28th of this year was not done because it has less than 25 articles. This is my second attempt to grant my autopatrolled rights. Thomasfan1916[built buses?] 20:46, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
I was pleasantly surprised to be granted rollback rights yesterday, and that led me to think about other permissions. I create a lot of articles, and frequently receive review notifications. There are rarely any problems with my creations, and I think it would help if I could be autopatrolled. Happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Jack (talk) 21:46, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

(Though this may be obvious), I'll check each edit and make sure they're correct before actually doing them. Also, I'll probably use it to alleviate MOS:CURLY stuff.

New page reviewer[edit]
hi, some permissions have already been assigned automatically, but I would like to further expand my Wikipedia contributions with this option. Haggis MacHaggis (talk) 08:25, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Experience with WP:GAN reviewing, and recent changes patrolling. Furthermore, I am a experienced editer, making and nominating a WP:GAN article (61016), I have also have been on this platform for about a year and understanding of key rules in Wikipedia, such as WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:DICT, WP:NPOV, and WP:CRYSTALBALL. I have also made this to help with the huge backlog, and review as much articles as possible on Wikipedia. Wikiediter2029 (talk) Nosey? Stalk My edits 15:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
Hi there! I am applying for NPR rights, because I want to help with the backlogs and think I have been around enough to be trusted to know what I am doing (or be able to figure it out when making mistakes). My goal would be principally to help with the massive redirect backlog, as I have gotten more familiar with this area, including in categorization; however I will in all likelihood also review articles, and would not be requesting the perm if I was not confident in my ability to do that properly. I regularly participate in the XfD pages, including AfD and RfD, and have done some content work myself. I admittedly lack speedy deletion experience, but I believe I have a good grasp on the criteria. Hi there, I was once a New Page Reviewer last year and my request to renew was declined but now am ready to go again even on probation. I am currently in Paris attending Wikimania 2026 and I have had the opportunity to interact with experienced users with extended rights and right now am ready to go again on working on the backlogs reviews.

Page mover[edit]
Working on the cricket project, I frequently use the move function to rename titles, generally as corrections, and in many cases so they comply with project naming convention. Happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Jack (talk) 22:04, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
As part of NPP and AfC, I frequently need to move pages in and out of draftspace, and being able to suppress redirects and delete single-revision redirects would speed up AfC acceptances and create fewer inappropriate R2s that get added to the speedy deletion backlog. Additionally, I sometimes work on maintenance from Category:Editnotices whose targets are redirects, which requires template-protected edit requests or WP:RM/TR requests if the editnotices should or should not stay on the redirect. I am familiar with the guidelines about controversial moves, and have no history of move warring or edit warring. Thanks, ScalarFactor (talk) 18:41, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
Working on some of my draft articles (like the Homestar Runner character), I frequently used the move function to rename titles, such as some of my articles (like Five Rivers Electronic Innovations), from my userspace to mainspace.

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
I would like to request permission to approve pending edits on the pages I regularly edit, as I would be happy to help review and approve constructive contributions. Katanicx (talk) 16:17, 15 July 2026 (UTC)
I have been quite active on Wikipedia. I spend considerable time identifying and reverting obvious vandalism, fixing BLP issues immediately and cleaning up unsourced and dubious additions in the articles I follow and watch. I would really like to obtain the privileges to review pending changes so I can help ensure that all articles substantiate edits under the pending changes in good faith and in compliance with the policy. I understand that most of the work would consist of detecting obvious bad things such as vandalism, BLP breaches, plagiarism, libel, personal attacks and accepting edits that passed the basic checks without going into extensive discussions on sources, bias or expert accuracy (these are discussed by the watchers later). I have studied Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes in detail and I am aware of the instructions, I will accept edits that do not seem to violate some core principles, revert or correct wrong ones and do not carry out even basic review more than that. ArchivioItalia ✉ 05:59, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
For a little over a week and a half, I've been patrolling recent changes to spot vandalism or otherwise disruptive edits. Occasionally, I come across such an edit on a page that's had pending changes protection applied to it. For these kinds of edits, while I'm able to revert bad-faith edits, I'm unable to accept good-faith edits and must leave that task to those with the pending changes reviewer permission. I feel that this setup is less-than-optimal. If I were able to both reject and accept those changes, I would be reducing the backlog of pending changes and could thereby expedite other processes on Wikipedia by giving other users less work. Considering this, I'd like to request the pending changes permission in order to do so. Salmon of Knowledge (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
I've done a lot of PCR work in the past, and I have considerable experience of reviewing both here and professionally.

Rollback[edit]
OK, I've reviewed what I was told at my last request. I now have over 200 mainspace edits. I've tried singing up to CVU/A, and now I'm just waiting. Requesting rollback permissions to try AntiVandal, Interceptor, and Huggle. And everything else. Patrolling RecentChanges seems to be the only thing I do nowadays, and I would like rollback to be able to fight vandals better. AZenit3 [Chat?-stuff I've done] 01:47, 25 May 2026 (UTC)
Been patrolling recent changes for some time now with Twinkle, and I would like to try using more advanced tools like Huggle which require this permission. TheNerdzilla (talk) 13:45, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
Hello. I have rollback in my account at Simple Wikipedia. Having tried this evening to counter the activities of ~2026-33439-05 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), I think it would be useful to have rollback here too. I work almost exclusively on cricket articles at present, and it is a subject that frequently attracts vandals. Thanks. Jack (talk) 19:28, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have been doing RC patrol for the last while, and would like rollback to be able to more efficiently fight vandalism.

I've been patrolling recent changes frequently. While my account is still somewhat new (nearly 2 months old), I do have over 1.2k edits so far - with many involving reverting vandalism (but I have also wrote new articles, reported users, participated in afd, and improved articles). I always warn users after I revert their edits. Ever since I have gained access to Twinkle, it has made patrolling so much easier. I would like rollback permissions to be able to use the antivandal and interceptor tools too. Those tools would make reverting much more efficent. FlammablePizza (talk) 19:29, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
Hi. I've been reviewing drafts at AfC, COI requests and NPP for quite a while now. Might consider trialing Huggle in the medium term as part of my modest toolbox. Thanks :) PK650 (talk) 06:36, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Hi, I am requesting rollback rights in order to combat vandalism more easily with WP:Interceptor, particularly on recent changes, which I have been patrolling for a while. I have read and understood WP:Vandalism, and aim to follow all of its guidelines. Every nonconstructive edit I have reverted (mainly via Twinkle), I have added a user warning to the editor's talk page. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 19:50, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Request made one day in advance. My rollback privileges expire tomorrow, and I have been using Interceptor constructively. ozmoozmo@enwiki$t.c 01:13, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
I would like to request Rollback rights. My last request was on 18 May. According to previous advice, I have tried to follow a clear workflow, including issuing warnings and reporting Vandalism, Block evasion, and Disruptive editing at AIV, RFPP, and AN/EW. In addition, I use Twinkle for warnings, reports, and reverts. AriuCH (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2026 (UTC)
Hello! I would like to request rollback permissions to streamline correcting cascading vandalism. I have no history of editorial conflict, have experience in anti-vandalism work, a healthy edit count, and would also like to integrate automation into my editing workflow. Additionally, I am aware that rollback permissions are not — ipso facto — a license to act, and that any action taken must be taken with the assumption of the rolled-back edit(s) being undeniable vandalism. If there are any particular concerns I do not address, please feel free to inform me thereof. Thank you! Chat-qui-Aboie (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2026 (UTC) Chat-qui-Aboie (talk) 06:32, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
I've done quite a bit of Counter Vandalism work, and I've come to request rollback rights. Thanks! Giovanni Guasconti (a word with me) 03:37, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
I've recently been using SWViewer and Twinkle to revert vandalism, so this permission would be very useful for me. I'm already very familiar with how it works, as I already have this permission on other Wikimedia projects. -- 🐦🔥 Aws 💬 Talk 14:23, 12 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to rquest Rollback permissions firstly in order to make use of tools like Huggle & AntiVandal. Secondly rollback permissions will allow me to increase the speed of my workflow as most of it consists of RC patrolling edits by unregistered & new accounts. My contribution history demonstrates that I have multiple months of RC Patrol experience and no history of edit warring. At the time of writing this I have 656 live edits of which 220 are in the Main namespace and 262 are in the User Talk namespace, this shows my track record of consistently notifying editors when reverting their edits.

Hi! I've been fixing small mistakes in Wikipedia off and on for about eight years now (more specifically five years in the English Wikipedia, eight in Finnish Wikipedia), ending up with about 740 global edits, out of which roughly 500 are in the English Wikipedia, and recently I've been interested in upping my participation in patrolling recent edits. I've been eyeing using Interceptor to improve the work, but that unfortunately is off-limits to non-rollbackers. Thanks! Seqv (talk) 22:17, 16 July 2026 (UTC)
I would like to fight vandalism more effectively, and tools like Huggle and Interceptor seem like they would be very useful in doing so. Wikipedia is awesome :) WikipediholicRat (talk) 00:29, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Template editor[edit]
Hi. I am requesting TE rights so I can make edits to template-protected template faster. I have numerous (over 5) template requests, of which I believe around 5 have been accepted, and have made over 3 sandbox edits. My main template edite are those which help readability on Dark Mode while minimally affecting light mode, such as my series of edite to Wdefcon templates ({{Edit COI/backlog}}, {{AfC information}}, etc.). With TE, I would be able to make more of these, alongside others. Axolitl (talk | contribs) 22:49, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Temporary account IP viewer[edit]
I'd like to request temporary account IP viewer rights, just in case more than one temporary account disrupts Wikipedia. I reported two edit wars, one containing multiple unregistered users and one with a registered user. On a template, I also reverted vandalism two weeks after a temporary account vandalized it. Slackintosh (talk) 21:30, 18 July 2026 (UTC)
I regularly check for and remove/tag certain blog/tabloid sources that are frequently reintroduced to pages by nobility SPAs, many of whom are block-evading. When I can identify an IP-hopping LOUTSOCK (e.g. "Brazil IP obsessed with descendants of Pedro II") it's easier to anticipate where else disruption might be occurring under different IP addresses.

"Do you want to take a survey?"
[edit]On Feb. 12, 2005, I did a random pages survey. Out of 100 random pages, only 1 was a U.S. town. That's progress. Three towns in the UK, 1 in Spain and 1 in Portugal also turned up. Overall biographies were the largest category at 22%, followed by geography with 15% total. Then Lists at 7%, Disambiguation pages at 6%.
On Feb. 24, 2006, I repeated the 100 random page survey, this time getting 5 U.S. towns. Overall, geography had 26%, biography 21%, fiction 9%, music 4%, colleges 4%, lists 3% and disambigs 4%. Clearly geography and biography are our largest areas. Music, science and business scored less than I expected. Non-individual History was hardly discernable.
Even by Feb. 2005, 100 out of almost 500,000 was not statistically significant but was as much as I had patience for.

Early Anon work, no need to bug the developers

More recently 1,250 or so edits on 75.41.110.200 are apparently all mine. Apparently my new ID is 75.41.109.190. There are undoubtedly many others as the earliest history of many articles was not preserved by the software.
