Hello, I would like to request the confirmed user right because although I rarely edit Wikidata, in which I mostly revert obvious vandalism, spam, and tag pages for deletion (mostly user pages containing spam or web host content), I am a trusted legitimate user on other projects, such as the English and Spanish Wikipedias, for example. In addition, an automated filter currently prevents me from tagging promotional user pages for deletion. Thank you very much in advance. – 64andtim (talk to me!) 23:22, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done trusted user and a valid reason --DannyS712 (talk) 00:34, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request the confirmed user right because I regularly edit Wikipedia in different languages, and when I try to link pages (either new pages o fixing existing ones) with other items from other languages the message "This page is currently create-protected and can be created only by established registered users." prevents me from doing so Gor1995 (talk) 15:47, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done, trusted user Saroj (talk) 19:21, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to request the confirmed user right because I want to change the article badge for German articles when I assess candidatures (like Wolfgangsee). Totenkopfaffe (talk) 11:25, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- Done, trusted user. --Wolverène (talk) 11:52, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

I'd like to request confirmation. I only just discovered this was possible to request; there have been many times I've wished to make changes on auto-confirmed-restricted articles and given up. I hope I've proven to be a responsible editor. My latest use for this permission would have been to add "mobile phone -predicted by-> Mark R. Sullivan with a KQED reference, but that statement doesn't exist so I guess I won't be doing that. Not the first time I wished I could edit, as I said. Nelsonblaha (talk) 03:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- You're 4 edits away from being auto-confirmed. Why not do something simple like adding 4 labels to items in your native language and voila - you're auto-confirmed. This edit count also grants patroller rights which personally I would find naive were it not for the fact that I am not aware of any abuse of this privilege on Wikidata, but I digress. Infrastruktur (talk) 18:08, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
Done. I agree with the Infrastruktur's thoughts on what kind of actions could have been done to get the system confirmation more quickly, but the user is still a trusted one so let's not hurry them up. :) --Wolverène (talk) 12:21, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I am careful about editing, following all rules and requirements. I would appreciate being appointed as a patroller to be able to become an administrator in the future.
MaxBokstf (talk) 14:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not done. While we appreciate your commitment to following rules, please provide a detailed explanation of how obtaining confirmed rights will help you contribute to Wikidata. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 17:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- You are already autoconfirmed. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 17:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with your comment, I was too brief in describing my intentions. I think it is very important to explain why I need it and how I will use it without breaking the rules. So I will try to briefly summarize my commentary on this request.
- I've been studying profiles for a while now and they are mostly personalities in music, movies, culture and art. I notice a lot of inaccuracies or edits that are important to make, especially with Swedish personalities. The Swedish version does not have enough edited data and I think this will allow me to make proper edits to biographies, categories, descriptions and other sections. Also I noticed sections and categories that are missing in the Swedish version, this will allow me to add and protect edits.
- Since I'm interested in music and movies, I paid attention to the category manager Q1320883. Somehow this is too general, but there should be a category about talent or music managers for sv. So I encountered many inaccuracies that I would like to have the right to correct.
MaxBokstf (talk) 18:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)- I'd appreciate it if you could flag me as a confirmed user. MaxBokstf (talk) 18:20, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- As I mentioned earlier, you are already an autoconfirmed user. 'Confirmed' and 'autoconfirmed' have the same privileges. —Yahya (talk • contribs.) 18:30, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, Thank you! I'd appreciate it if you could flag me as a confirmed user? MaxBokstf (talk) 18:33, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
- I've granted you the confirmed rights although you are having the autoconfirmed rights already, so there is probably no particular sense. It's mostly because I was curious if the system allows to have mutually exclusive flags. It allows, as I see. I hope you are going to tell us what really changed afterwards. --Wolverène (talk) 07:37, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

- Огромное спасибо! Возможно, это ничего не меняет, но я лишь попробовал воспользоваться функцией запроса смены статуса, и только благодаря тебе получилось. Еще раз спасибо! Буду дальше стараться поднимать свой статус, может дойду до админа когда-то. MaxBokstf (talk) 15:00, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
- Как видишь такой статус другой админ сказал мне не нужен и отобрал его. Могу я просить статус патрульного?
MaxBokstf (talk) 17:00, 12 December 2023 (UTC)- @MaxBokstf: Please explain for which edit you needed this right. If there is a difference between autoconfirmed and confirmed (and that should not be the case, in general), we need to file a task on Phabricator to fix the underlying problem and not circumvent it by granting redundant user rights. --Ameisenigel (talk) 11:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think it's unnecessary, I'm careful with my edits and my contributions. I think it's an important option to make the necessary edits and be careful. Many of the edits require access and confirmation. One of the examples I described is out. I would appreciate it if you could return my status or expand my features to allow me to make more edits and make sure they are correct. Thank you!
MaxBokstf (talk) 16:41, 12 December 2023 (UTC)- These rights are redundant and this is obviously the reason why you have not answered my question from 8 December. Confirmed is not a status or a reward for your work. It is just a user right for users who are not already autoconformed. If you do not believe me, you may check this yourself by visiting Special:ListGroupRights. If there would be a difference between between confirmed and autoconfirmed users we would have to report this as a bug on Phabricator. --Ameisenigel (talk) 16:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes I realised that there is no need for such rights, but in case of problems should write to the admins, for example, about what I said came out. MaxBokstf (talk) 02:06, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

- Имея флаг автоматически подтверждённого пользователя (Autoconfirmed users), вы можете ставить отметки о патрулировании версий, сделанных пользователями без (авто)подтверждённого статуса. Для этого нужно нажать на ссылку [Mark as patrolled] (или как это словосочетание будет выглядеть на вашем языке) внизу страницы. Специального статуса патрульного в Викиданных не существует и на практике без него можно обойтись. Тем более не требуется никаких дополнительных флагов/статусов для демонстрации заинтересованности в работе над проектом - уверен, что если вы будете продолжать вносить конструктивный вклад в проект, мы это обязательно оценим. Надеюсь, вы убедились, что иметь оба флага сразу технически возможно, но не имеет смысла. С вашего позволения, поставим на этом точку. --Wolverène (talk) 05:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- Подробное описание! Спасибо! MaxBokstf (talk) 02:04, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Id like to change a few locations for historical Swedish municipalities. Most are unprotected pages, for some I get the Semi-protected status. Would be great to be able to edit, I'm not sure I will need to update >50 pages to would be great to get the autoconfirmed user status. Actualveritas (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
- The number of your edits (in particular) which are less than 100 in any of the Wikimedia projects do not make me sure that you are experienced enough. I do not think that we have too many semi-protected items for municipalities of Sweden, so is not it better to just work more with Wikidata? Only 23 edits are left for you to get the rights of autoconfirmed. --Wolverène (talk) 06:32, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
Granted. The contributions do not seem to be problematic. Please keep on contributing and good luck. --Wolverène (talk) 10:40, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
