Hi! I would like to make minor edits to problematic BSicons, such as https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BSicon_utdKRZ3+1tvu.svg. Thank you. SomeRailfan (talk) 03:29, 20 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still considering. Edit count is basically at discretionary range. Abzeronow (talk) 04:02, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm quite an active editor on Wikipedia for electoral events and I'd need the permissions to overwrite files like Parliament composition diagrams and such that may change fairly frequently over time and are often handled by multiple users at the same time. Thank you. Fm3dici97 (talk) 14:05, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be willing to grant it you if you had 200 edits, but your edit count is rather below that. You can make requests at COM:OWR in the meantime. Abzeronow (talk) 01:18, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to be able to upload the Paintings and Portraits Files with better resolution color versions, I am aware of the commons rules Thank you. Ferdinand1996 (talk) 11:23, 26 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Ferdinand1996, you've registered 10 days ago and have only 106 edits. Plz read the rough guideline at top of this section. I would advise you to keep working and come back later. In the mean time, you can request overwriting at COM:OWR. Shaan SenguptaTalk 08:07, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

SaintPaulOfTarsus

edit
I nominate @SaintPaulOfTarsus for AP. I know the user is well below the 500 mark, but there are cases we make exception and this is one of them. The user has been doing great work with Russia-Ukraine maps. My interaction so far has been great, as can be seen on their TP. Also has more than 8k edits on enwiki.

HurricaneZeta

Requesting AWB/JWB access because I mainly work in weather/track map related areas and the template has/had some issues regarding headers and other parameters that have stayed in older files that I would like to fix. Additionally, I would like to add the colors parameter to the template's invocations for files which use the post-2023 color scheme. I would also like this to work with categories in the future. I have access to this on enwiki as well. Thank you. HurricaneZeta (talk) 23:10, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am requesting AWB access to be able to more easily mass-rename and mass-update AntWeb specimens. As quite clearly shown in my contributions, I have made a large amount of repetitive edits to update ant specimen information from outdated files. I have read and understand the guidelines for proper AWB use in pages, and I will adhere to them to the best of my ability. In the near term, it appears that my sole and extensive use for this right is to mass-update ant specimen images, of which over 30,000 exist. Thank you. 2003 LN6 06:51, 22 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feitidede

I'm an autopatroller on WikiCommons with several meaningful contributions. My work is focused primarily on the vectorization of flags. I am an active Wikigraphist who is happy to take requests for vectorizing low-quality bitmap flags and coats of arms. As an autopatroller, I also help improve existing SVG-traced flags and files with bad vectorization in general, which often need to be renamed for harmonization purposes. Having file-moving rights would make this process easier and quicker. Thank you. Feitidede☆ﾟ.* 16:10, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Edit count is slightly under the guideline. Rename requests look good for the most part, under 50 in total from what I can see. Abzeronow (talk) 01:25, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm LightandDark2000, I'm requesting this right for my Commons account. I've had years of experience editing on Commons at this point, and I'm pretty familiar with the upload and naming policies. And I also have the Autopatroller permission. I've filed a handful of renaming requests in the past, in addition to carrying out a fair amount of recategorization work. I'd like to request the File Mover right, so I can more effectively perform my work without having to clog up the renaming request backlog. Thanks.

Only 3 rename requests that I can see, all look good. Abzeronow (talk) 01:30, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am a patroller here, and while patrolling I come across many files that needs to be renamed. I am well aware of COM:FNC policy. My previous rename requests are [1], [2], [3], [4],[5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11] and [12] Thank you. Agent 007 (talk) 19:21, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have been steadily making Commons contributions within the GLAM space over the past few years, these uploads covering a variety of collection areas. It would be helpful for me to be able to audit prior mistakes in bulk uploads as well as assist with other GLAMs we have in our network who are also contributing to Wikimedia Commons. File naming is very important within Museums and Archives information management, and it is a vital method for associating an image related to a digital record in Wikimedia Commons with its twin entities in other information systems. Additionally, it would be helpful for me in organising publications with individual pages uploaded that would benefit with 00- pagination so that the pages show in order. Thank you.

Hi. I sometimes actives in patrolling in Commons and will need this right to check if an IP is abusing multiple accounts or whether the IP is an open proxy when dealing with vandalism. I have read Commons:Temporary account IP viewer#What can and can't be said and will use this right wisely. Thanks, Nvdtn19 (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You may request this right only if you have the Patroller or License Reviewer right.

As far as I can see, you have autopatrolled, ipblock-exempt, rollbacker. — regards, Revi 01:07, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've granted them patroller. Abzeronow (talk) 02:12, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Sorry for not knowing this was a requirements, but since I'm a patroller now, I will still need this rights, thanks. Nvdtn19 (talk) 02:19, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In that case I will defer to your judgment on whether he needs TAIV or not. — regards, Revi 04:24, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
