| MusikAnimal (WMF) | 2018-04-01 | These rights will assist me in deploying the Page Assessments to several wikis. For this, we need to update some protected templates. For every wiki, I'm asking a local template editor handle it, but I'd like to be able to intervene if something goes wrong (repeated mistakes may cause a high number of jobs to fired, and possibly causing database issues). | G:Interface Editor |
| Ed Erhart (WMF) | 2018-02-07 | Following the policy, I'm requesting the upload wizard campaign user right ("upwizcampeditors") on Wikimedia Commons on an ongoing basis. The digital media team has done some experimenting recently with using social media to encourage photo uploads, the most recent of which has been focused on pigeons.
I believe that being able to create upload campaigns for these periodic initiatives will make it easier for people to upload their content while also lessening any potential burden on volunteers. Creating a campaign has, in fact, been suggested for both of our previous campaigns in discussions on Commons' Village Pump. (1, 2) |

| MWang (WMF) | 2017-08-31 | I’m seeking rights to view the text of deleted revisions on all wikis for my [Aaron H.] collaborator Morten Warncke-Wang in order to extract data used to train ORES models and to do other research. Morten has a formal relationship with me and the Research dept. at the Wikimedia Foundation. The access duration would be tied to Morten's current MOU/NDA with the Wikimedia Foundation. The deleted text will be extracted on a stat* machines within our analytics cluster, and we’ll probably train models and perform analyses on the same machine, so the text won’t be copied anywhere else. | Other/Special (See use case) |

| Mvolz (WMF) | 2016-05-25 | I need full edit permissions on all language wikis for the Template namespace. I need to edit template data in these templates in order to properly configure citoid on these wikis. Here is the phabricator task to do so: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114515 Often these are editable but on some language wikis they are locked for editing.
I've been getting a colleague to do some on wiki edits for me and he finally got fed up and suggested I get my own permissions :). It would be also great if I had the ability to edit MediaWiki namespace on all language wikis. This is to configure this message and this message only on all wikis: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json |
