    • Phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship review has concluded. Several proposals have passed outright and will proceed to implementation, including creating a discussion-only period (3b) and administrator elections (13) on a trial basis. Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
    • Partial action blocks are now in effect on the English Wikipedia. This means that administrators have the ability to restrict users from certain actions, including uploading files, moving pages and files, creating new pages, and sending thanks. T280531
    • The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
    • This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.

    Welcome, admins! This suite of pages documents common admin tasks and how to properly perform them. Administrative tools have been granted due to the trust the community has in you, so it's important you understand how they work before attempting to use them. Here you can learn about everything you can do, and some of the features you'll be able to test out in a safe environment without worry of causing disruption. Spending 15 or 20 minutes here may seem well worth it if it keeps you from ending up in the village stocks.

    Please note that as an operator of an account with administrative privileges, you should review your user account security practices. You may also wish to subscribe to the Administrators' newsletter to stay up to date with relevant discussions and technology changes.

    Guides[edit]

    Some of these pages will provide you with a way to practice using the tools in an environment that will not harm the encyclopedia. Others simply document what you are able to do and their best practices.

    User:Myrealnamm[edit]

    Hi there,

    I am requesting rollback rights so I can revert vandalism faster. I've been using Twinkle and reverting vandalism for more than a month now and I finally feel like it's the time. Around last month I've requested Rollback rights but it got declined because I had limited experience in reverting vandalism. I now have over 200 mainspace edits, reverting for more than a month now, and only this that might count as edit warring. Having rollback rights would give me access to tools such as AntiVandal which will help me revert vandalism easier. Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) 21:27, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

    Oh, and yes, constantly warning users about their edits (unless they've vandalized past their fourth or 4im warning, and then I'll go to AIV). Myrealnamm (💬talk · ✏️contribs) 21:28, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
     Automated comment This user has had 1 request for rollback declined in the past 90 days ([1]). — MusikBot talk 21:46, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
    I'm concerned by this complaint on your talk page. Do you still think the edit referenced here should have been reverted? Please explain your reasoning. -Fastily 02:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    Oh. I'll explain that:
    If I recall, what happened was I didn't see their edit summary and I only saw the edits that were blanking content. So, to answer your question, I shouldn't have reverted those edits because there were reasonable explanations for blanking. That was my mistake. Are there any other problems?
    Thanks, Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 12:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    I didn't see the explanation and that's how it led to this and this. Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    So help me understand: if you knew you made a mistake, then why did it take 5 days (during which you ignored the IP) and me calling it out here for you to rectify it? -Fastily 20:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    I didn't, I just realized. Sorry for any confusion that I made. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:06, 28 May 2024 (UTC) What I meant was I didn’t assume good faith and check what the IP was referring to. I will assume good faith even more from now to prevent things like this from happening again. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
    When in doubt, do not revert. I'd rather that you allow a few bad edits through than inappropriately revert one constructive edit. RC patrol is not a race to see who can revert the most, you should be taking special care with every revert you make. If you're receiving complaints/questions on your talk page, then you need to address these in a timely manner. To be honest, I think you'd benefit from more experience; please spend another month consistently patrolling before reapplying. That said, closing as  Not done Fastily 21:06, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    Ok. Thank you! Myrealnamm's Alternate Account (talk) 13:53, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
    FYI I do have an alternate account that I often use, at User:Myrealnamm-alt. Myrealnamm (💬pros · ✏️cons) 21:09, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Ankermast[edit]

    I am a German Wikipedian and have been active on enwiki as vandalism fighter since April, mostly using Twinkle sind SWViewer and always warning editors after reverting their contributions. Currently I have made almost 800 Edits here, which mostly consist of vandalism control. On dewiki I am member of the CVU, have more than 17000 edits as well as rollback rights. [2] I would like to be granted rollback rights as they would allow me fighting vandalism more efficiently and faster. Thanks Ankermast (talk) 08:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

    I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? Are you aware that we have tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet that make this extremely easy? -Fastily 20:48, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    As I am using Twinkle, it becomes clear that the vast majority of my reverts are followed by a warning when looking at my contributions. Regarding your examples: 1. I restored an older version edited by two other users: an anonymous user which I did warn and a user which removed some of the vandalism by the IP, which I would not warn as this edit was constructive. 2. Here, the user removed the contribution by themselves except for a blank which I removed with restoring the latest constructive version. Here, as it seemed like a test edit and as the user removed it, I just removed said blank. 3. Out of hundreds of reverts, there are some cases in which I do not warn the editor. These are natural and I can’t do more than making the promise that like now, I am going to warn every vandal, to the best of my ability.
    Best regards Ankermast (talk) 20:20, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
    Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 21:06, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
    Yes, I make that promise. Ankermast (talk) 21:27, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Megabits000[edit]

    I am back requesting rollback rights, after a long wikibreak. I use twinkle for sending the warnings, and either the IRC chat or recent changes to monitor for edits that seem to be needed a review. I practiced using huggle to test how it would suit me (without rollback rights, of course), and I think it would make fixing vandalism much easier. if you check, I have a good track record of notifying after an undo-edit, excluding when another editor beats me to the chase. please notify me of any concerns you have, and I will attempt to respond in a timely manner Megabits000 (talk) 03:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Prince of Erebor[edit]

    I have created 80 articles, primarily focused on Sinophone cinema and fantasy literature, with 2 currently undergoing GAN. All of my articles have been promptly reviewed, and none of them have been deleted or marked for maintenance. I am requesting autopatrolled rights to alleviate the workload of the patrollers, especially those who actively review film articles and have reviewed the majority of my articles, allowing them to allocate more time to address articles that truly require attention. As a side note, I am a veteran editor with patroller rights on Chinese Wikipedia, having authored over 200 articles, including a dozen featured and good articles. While I fully understand that there are differences in policies and MOS across different Wikipedias, I believe this demonstrates my credibility and knowledge in assessing article quality.— Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:SheriffIsInTown[edit]

    I frequently create articles on notable subjects, having authored 530 articles, with the majority facing no issues. Only three were deleted, mainly due to changes in election results affecting their notability. I'm requesting autopatroller rights to ease the burden on other editors reviewing my articles and help reduce the backlog of new article reviews. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 23:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:MinorProphet[edit]

    Hi, I'd like to request Autopatrolled rights, please. A list of articles I created is here, and articles in various states of completion waiting in the wings are here. Cheers, >MinorProphet (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC) MinorProphet (talk) 16:17, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Eagledj[edit]

    I have written 93 articles HERE, mostly music, biographies, golf, history, architecture, and people from Tennessee. I'd like to apply for auto patrolled status. I have done many BLPs including 5 GAs and I am familiar with the guidelines. Thank you.Eagledj (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC) Eagledj (talk) 14:41, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:HagridLiving[edit]

    Hello, I would like to request to become autopatrolled to simplify the process of creating pages about France and its heritage. HagridLiving (talk) 13:03, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

    Hi HagridLiving, may I ask what you mean by simplification here? Autopatrolled doesn't really make it any easier to create articles. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 17:43, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
    Hi Clovermoss, could this perhaps simplify the verification process at the article creation level? Respectfully, HagridLiving (talk) 11:04, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
     Not done – Autopatrolled does not simplify the process of creating articles. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 12:23, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:TrimmerinWiki[edit]

    As part of NPP, I've noticed the high quality work of TrimmerinWiki, with similar supportive statements on their talk page. Their pages are well-developed and researched. Klbrain (talk) 10:26, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

    User:Sanslogique[edit]

    Hello. I would like to request Autopatrolled rights on the advice of user Broc, who appreciated my editorial skills. I have created more than 140 articles, mostly music-related. (I also have these rights in Russian Wikipedia.) Sanslogique (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

    I stumbled across Sanslogique's music-related articles more than once as part of NPP, and found them of high quality. They show understanding of WP:NMUSIC, their pages are well written and sourced, and I did not see any copyright problems, that's why I suggested them to apply for autopatrolled rights.
