Requests for permissions

This page enables administrators to handle requests for permissions on the English Wikipedia. Administrators are able to modify account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, file mover, extended confirmed, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback, and template editor rights, and AutoWikiBrowser access.

Editors wishing to request a permission flag here should do so following the procedure below. Editors requesting permissions are advised to periodically revisit the requests page, as notifications will not always be given after a decision is made. Editors should not expect their request to be answered right away and should remember to be patient when filing a request. To find out what permissions your account has, go to Special:Preferences, where your permissions are listed in the user profile tab under "Member of groups".

Requests for permissions are archived regularly; please see Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Archive for an index of past requests.

Permissions

Handled here

  • Account creator (add request · view requests ): The account creator flag is granted to users who are active in the request an account process. The flag removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24 hour period. It also allows users to make accounts with names similar to other accounts. The account creator flag is only given to users who participate in the ACC process and may be removed without notice should a user's participation in the account creation process cease.
  • Autopatrolled (add request · view requests ): The autopatrolled flag is granted to users who are active in the creation of new articles. This tool is granted so their creations are auto patrolled in Special:NewPages. Unlike other requests, any user may nominate an editor for Autopatrolled, even without that user's consent. A user who wishes to have this flag generally should have created at least 25 articles and must be trusted, experienced, and must have demonstrated they are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, especially WP:BLP and Wikipedia:Notability.
  • AutoWikiBrowser (add request · view requests ): AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automated MediaWiki editor for Microsoft Windows, designed to make tedious repetitive tasks quicker and easier. It is essentially a browser that automatically opens up a new page when the last is saved. When set to do so, it suggests some changes (typically formatting) that are generally meant to be incidental to the main change. Please read the rules of use and registration requirements on the main page before requesting permission. This is not a true user right, but access needs to be granted by administrators just like other permissions. If approved, your name will be added to the CheckPage. Users with under 250 non-automated mainspace edits or 500 total mainspace edits are rarely approved. You will need to give a reason for wanting AWB access.
  • Confirmed (add request · view requests ): The confirmed flag may be granted to new users who have not yet hit the threshold for autoconfirmed status. These are users who have not had both 10 edits and 4 days experience. People with this flag can upload files and edit semi-protected pages before hitting the autoconfirmed flag. Users requesting this flag must indicate clearly why they should be exempted from the customary confirmation period.
  • Event coordinator (add request · view requests ): The event coordinator user right allows editors to create multiple new accounts, and to temporarily confirm accounts so that they can create new articles.
  • Extended confirmed (add request · view requests ): The extended confirmed flag is normally automatically added to accounts after 500 edits and 30 days, but may be added to legitimate alternate accounts of users that already have this access. The flag allows users to edit pages under extended confirmed protection.
  • File mover (add request · view requests ): The file mover user right is intended to allow users experienced in working with files to rename them, subject to policy, with the ease that autoconfirmed users already enjoy when renaming Wikipedia articles.
  • Mass message sender (add request · view requests ): Mass message sender enables users to send messages to multiple users at once. This flag is given to users who have made requests for delivery in the past, clearly showing an understanding of the guidance for use.
  • New page reviewer (add request · view requests ): The new page reviewer user right allows users to mark pages as patrolled and use the page curation toolbar. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
  • Page mover (add request · view requests ): The page mover user right allows users experienced in working with article names to move them, subject to policy, without leaving behind a redirect. They may also move all subpages when moving the parent page(s). General guidelines include making 3,000 edits and 6 months of editing history. At administrators' discretion, the right may be accorded on a time limited basis or indefinite.
  • Pending changes reviewer (add request · view requests ): The reviewer flag is granted to users who are experienced enough with Wikipedia editing and its policies for contributing to the process of reviewing articles placed under pending changes.
  • Rollback (add request · view requests ): Rollback enables users to remove vandalism much more quickly and efficiently than by undoing it. Users who do not demonstrate an understanding of what constitutes capable vandalism fighting, either because they have no or little history of doing so, or show a poor ability to discern between good and bad faith edits will not be granted this right. Also, it is unlikely that editors with under 200 mainspace edits will have their request granted. For a more detailed explanation of rollback and information about when it is appropriate to use the tool, see Wikipedia:Rollback. For information about the technical details of the feature, see here.
  • Template editor (add request · view requests ): The template editor flag allows users to edit protected templates and Lua modules. General guidelines for granting include making at least 1,000 edits overall (with at least 150 to templates or modules), being a registered user for over a year, and having a record of successfully proposing significant edits to several protected templates. Users should demonstrate proficiency with template syntax and an understanding of the need for caution when editing heavily-used templates.
  • Temporary account IP viewer (add request · view requests ): Temporary account IP viewers are able to view the IP address information associated with temporary accounts.

Handled elsewhere

Several permissions are requested and handled elsewhere:

Review and removal of permissions

The requests for permissions process is not used to review or remove user rights:

The bureaucrat, checkuser, and oversight permissions are removed at meta:Steward requests/Permissions. Stewards will typically not carry out such requests unless they are made on behalf of the Arbitration Committee, by a user who is requesting their own access be removed, or in cases of an emergency.

Process

Requestors

To make a request for a permission, click "add request" next to the appropriate header and fill in the reason for wanting the permission.

Administrators

Administrators are permitted to grant account creator, autopatrolled, confirmed, event coordinator, file mover, mass message sender, new page reviewer, page mover, pending changes reviewer, rollback and template editor flags to any user who meets the criteria explained above and can be trusted not to abuse the tool(s). Administrators may either grant these permissions permanently or temporarily. For convenience, a bot will automatically comment with relevant data if the user does not meet configurable qualifications. Even if the bot does not comment, administrators should review the user's contributions and logs to ensure the tools will be used appropriately and check for any indication of potential misuse.

Once an administrator has granted a permission or decided to deny a request, they should add {{done }} or {{not done }} respectively under the request with their comments. If a user already has the requested permission, or is autoconfirmed and requesting confirmed, {{already done }} should be used. N hours after the last comment was made (as specified by the config), the request will be archived automatically: approved requests will be placed here; declined requests will go here. See User:MusikBot/PermClerk#Archiving for more information on archiving functionality.

Other editors

Requests for permissions is primarily intended for editors requesting a permission for their own account. Other editors are welcome to comment if they have specific information that is relevant to that request that a patrolling administrator is unlikely to discover for themselves. Otherwise, since only administrators can effectively respond to these requests, general comments or 'clerking' by other users are rarely helpful. Non-administrators cannot "decline" to grant a request, because they're not in a position to accept it.

A limited exception to this is Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Autopatrolled, where third party nominations are encouraged. Other editors should still avoid offering general remarks on requests and leave the final decision to an administrator.

Hello! I formally request the Autopatrolled user right. I'm a regular user of Wikipedia, both in Turkish and English. I have contributed to the Turkish Wikipedia, particularly on the Tao-Klarjeti region. I have also started to transfer these contributions to the English Wikipedia. I think it would be good to reduce the workload involved in reviewing the items I have written. Thank you. --ႧႤႧႰႨ ႾႠႰႨ (talk) 15:32, 15 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I've periodically patrolled Michelangelo1992's articles, and consistently found them to be in good shape. Focused on books as a topic area and very clear familiarity with WP:NBOOK. He's created 135 articles. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 22:56, 21 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Michelangelo1992: I'm a little concerned about overly lengthy quotations. Would you commit to summarizing quotations a bit more? Also, see MOS:SAID. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:24, 31 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Thank you for the feedback! I’ve always trended toward direct quotes to avoid concerns for original research, but I can make an effort to paraphrase more in the future while still citing the original source. I’ll also try to be more mindful of WP:SAID. I thought I was doing fairly well with this, but I am always open to feedback particularly if you have specific suggestions relating to recent articles. Thank you! Michelangelo1992 (talk) 14:37, 3 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Done. @Michelangelo1992: I'm going to approve this because if the standard was perfection, patrollers' workload would be unmanagagble, but please bear in mind the feedback about lengthy quotes and plot summaries. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:23, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I am applying for autopatrolled. I am also NPP and AfC reviewer and participate in AfC backlog and NPP backlog.

You can see my created articles here. Recently, one of my articles was moved to draftspace because it doesn't meet WP:TVSERIES. At first, it met the criteria, as there was a confirmed release date for this year, but now it's been postponed for an unknown reason and there's no reliable news about it.

Hello, I'd like to request autopatrolled rights, seeing as I've made 32 mainspace articles, none of which are stubs (I do not rate my own created pages).

Looking in the future, I see myself working in WP Taylor Swift (or generally WP pop music). A fair recent example was when I mass created drafts of songs in Taylor Swift's new album, in which they all followed the same structure and had similar categories. It was very annoying to have to work on all of them one-by-one, and I feel like AWB will help if I meet such an example again. HwyNerd Mike (t | c) 23:05, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Confirmed

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

Becoming a manually "confirmed" user on Wikipedia earlier than the standard, automated route offers immediate access to critical editing tools, providing a substantial advantage for dedicated contributors and those involved in structured editing projects.

The standard autoconfirmed status requires an editor to wait four days and make ten edits naturally over time. Requesting manual confirmation bypasses this waiting period entirely, accelerating an editor's ability to fully participate in the encyclopedia's collaborative environment.

The primary motivation for seeking this status earlier is to immediately gain the trust and functionality necessary to circumvent anti-vandalism measures designed for brand-new accounts. Confirmed editors can instantly begin editing semi-protected pages, which are often high-traffic or controversial articles that administrators lock down to prevent disruption. Furthermore, they are immediately empowered to create new articles directly in the main encyclopedia space without the bottleneck of submitting drafts through the Articles for Creation process.

Early confirmation also unlocks essential account maintenance tasks, such as moving or renaming pages to correct titles and uploading files (images, multimedia) to support articles. For those participating in group editing events like edit-a-thons, obtaining this status immediately is crucial, as it allows participants to focus purely on content creation rather than administrative hurdles. In essence, seeking early confirmation is a practical step for serious editors to immediately remove the software limitations imposed on new users, allowing them to contribute efficiently and without artificial delay. The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Who Became A Rouge One (talk) 06:06, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Manual confirmation of accounts on Wikipedia ahead of the standard automated route is almost never granted due to a combination of factors related to both practical concerns and the integrity of the platform.
One of the primary reasons is the risk of abuse. If manual confirmation were readily granted to users before they have demonstrated a certain level of activity, it could open the door for bad actors to gain early access to privileges that are meant to be earned over time. These privileges, such as the ability to edit semi-protected pages or move articles, are typically reserved for users who have shown a commitment to the platform, not just those who want to bypass safeguards. Wikipedia's policies prioritize the security and stability of the encyclopedia, which is why they require users to have at least four days of activity and ten edits, ensuring they are familiar with basic editing practices and community norms before gaining more advanced permissions.
Moreover, manual confirmation requires additional administrative oversight. Allowing manual requests for confirmation could result in an overwhelming workload for administrators, as they would need to review each request individually. This process, while possible, is resource-intensive and could lead to delays or inconsistencies, creating a bottleneck that undermines the efficiency of the entire community. The automated route, by contrast, ensures a more streamlined, impartial, and scalable process that minimizes human error and maximizes fairness.
Lastly, Wikipedia's system is designed to promote a gradual and inclusive pathway for users to become trusted contributors. The four-day waiting period and ten edits are in place to ensure that new users can familiarize themselves with the community’s standards, policies, and the collaborative nature of the platform before they gain higher-level privileges. This measured approach helps prevent premature or unchecked access to powerful editing tools that could disrupt the integrity of the site. It balances accessibility with the need for responsible stewardship of an open, crowd-sourced resource.
Therefore, while the desire to gain quicker access to editing privileges is understandable for active users, the Wikipedia community places significant value on a balanced, fair, and well-structured progression, and manual confirmations would disrupt that balance.

@The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Who Became A Rouge One In addition to what was said above, you're much more likely to get permissions approved if you don't use an LLM such as ChatGPT to write the request and instead use your own words. --Ahecht (TALK

New page reviewer

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

I’ve already created a few articles and I often check new pages for sourcing, notability, and overall quality. I also help out in AfD discussions when I can, mostly to look at whether topics meet notability and if the sources are solid. I enjoy helping new editors fix their pages and guiding them on what needs improvement. Since I’m already active in this area, I’d like to take a more direct role in keeping the new pages feed clean and helping page creators understand the basics. Becoming a reviewer would let me contribute more effectively. Thanks for considering my request! Acrom12 (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done I appreciate your enthusiasm but your last request was declined because you were too new to AfD. That's not a bad thing—it's an area that could particularly benefit from enthusiasm and new blood so please do keep it up, but that was only six weeks ago. Six weeks is not long enough to establish the kind of track record needed to evaluate you for a permission like this. You're welcome to ask again in three to six months if you keep up the work you're doing. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:49, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello to the reviewer! I've noticed the large backlog and would like to help make some progress with patrolling pages, mainly redirects. I have some previous experience in the article for creation space, creating my own articles, and creating my own redirects. I try to help new incoming editors, including mentoring my current partner and teaching them how to use the features of Wikipedia. I'm capable of catching content that probably shouldn't belong on Wikipedia, but also helping new users expand draft articles.

I participate in AfD, though my suggestions are often rejected; I consider this a skill that I am still learning. It's worth noting that I have never misused speedy deletion or other non-discussion deletion methods; my usage of these has been successful when I have applied them. Even still, my knowledge of AfC and redirects provides me with a good basis to use this right.

Thank you, and please ask any questions you may have. aaronneallucas (talk) 05:12, 20 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I am requesting the New Pages Patrol right.

I have 4,000+ edits, including over 2,500 in mainspace and 500+ article creations. My work has given me solid experience with core content policies, particularly notability GNG, reliable sourcing, verifiability, and BLP compliance. I also participate in AfD discussions and review drafts, which has strengthened my understanding of how these policies apply to new pages.

I would like to support the community by helping maintain the quality of new articles, identifying issues early, and guiding new editors toward constructive contributions. I have no blocks or sanctions.

Thank you for considering my request. Sweetabena (talk) 18:32, 26 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. I had to filter through a lot of maintenance tagging and categorisation (btw, I'm not sold o the value of maintenance tags in general but even less so on drafts, which accounts for the majority of your deleted edits) but I didn't find much curation experience. I see some AfD participation (but not enough to consider a track record) where you assert positions based on notability guidelines but often without backing them up (eg keep votes asserting coverage but without providing sources, delete votes namechecking a guidelines but not explaining how a subject fails them) but no experience with other deletion/curation processes. I would suggest continuing your AfD work and when you notice that your arguments are starting to convince other participants and closing admins, you could think about reapplying but you would probably need some experience with speedy deletion and something to demonstrate your understanding of copyright as well.

Hello! I was a New page reviewer in 2023, and lost the rights due to a block on my account in early 2024. I appealed in September 2024 and returned to Wikipedia, and shortly thereafter requested my previous permissions be restored. I was told it was too early after coming back to regain such rights and that I should work on regaining trust first before applying again. It's been 15 months and around 2,000 more edits since I have returned and I was hoping that I could be considered for this role again.

@Acrom12: I am open to flexibility on the 3000 edit guideline with good cause for an exception, but you also don't have enough experience with the moving process (counting 37 distinct moves, 0 WP:RM/TR requests, 1 attempt at an RM that isn't actually listed at WP:RM – see WP:RSPM for instructions), your draftifications don't follow WP:NPPHOUR, and you don't yet have even temporary NPR permissions.

Hi, I'm a trial NPP and AFC reviewer and doing new page patrol requires moving some articles to draft for better improvements as they're not suitable in the main space, it will be more better if I can move articles without leaving redirects. This right would also be helpful for when I close RMs so that I don't need to request the move be performed at WP:RM/TR afterwards, as well as potentially helping out with moves there myself.

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

I would like to request Pending changes reviewer so we can review pending changes. I have made over 250 mainspace edits and have 500 total edits. Aikee Moral (talk) 13:39, 3 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Aikee Moral How can you tell the difference between vandalism and a good-faith mistake? Toadspike [Talk] 09:20, 6 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
It is a good-faith mistake. Aikee Moral (talk) 09:22, 6 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Not done. Too soon after your previous troubles, and your request does not demonstrate an understanding of what this permission is for or how it should be used. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:13, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I would like to request the rights to help review Pending Changes edits efficiently and speed up the review process. Bagwe Neza (talk) 14:49, 3 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. I think it's a bit too early in your editing career. When taking out edit like adding date format tags, you don't have many edits and only minimal experience so far of evaluating edits against policy. I'd like to see you write a decent article or get involved with a maintenance process to gain a little experience first, then feel free to reapply in a few weeks. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:20, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Thank you, I appreciate the suggestions you've given. Bagwe Neza (talk) 05:15, 8 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I am requesting to be a requested changes reviewer as I got understanding of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Vandalism, Wikipedia:Verifiability. While I may of had multiple articles made by me rejected, this was from a while ago that I don't bother working on when I was absolutely terrible of editing around like 3 months ago. Additionally, I would be happy to work doing reviewing changes and checking it at least every day. Additionally, I got 900+ edits, and joined around 6 months ago with loads of huge editing, notably my 61016 article I have made.

I have a strong track record of removing vandalism, although there were several mistakes reported on my talk page while I was still a new user. I am also an active participant in speedy deletion, and have rollbacker and AfC permissions. I agree to use this right only to approve helpful edits and not to reinstate vandalism or discourage new uses by rejecting their changes. Somepinkdude (talk) 17:24, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:37, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

My request was declined, so I am requesting Pending changes reviewer again, with 600 total edits. Aikee Moral (talk) 05:00, 8 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done per Toadspike on your talk. One day is not enough. Giraffer (talk) 15:30, 8 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have a substantial track record in counter-vandalism work and believe this would help me in that mission. (I also have AfC, rollback, and temp user IP viewing rights, if that helps.) I am an active participant in the Guild of Copy Editors, Unsourced Articles, and other, area specific projects. I agree to use this right according to policy and as an active participant in a particularly contentious CTOP, I will also leave relevant changes within that CTOP to uninvolved editors unless it's particularly egregious vandalism. Thank you in advance! Smallangryplanet (talk) 18:19, 9 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Rollback

Sorry, unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

I am requesting rollback after willingly giving up Twinkle, and more recently being suggested I request rollback. I believe Rollback would be beneficial to my patrolling of recent edits. Babysharkb☩ss2 I am Thou, Thou art I 14:40, 18 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

You were previously blocked for your misuse of edit summaries; while that doesn't appear to have fully restarted, I am not really a fan of the tone of some of your newer summaries. [3] [4] [5] WP:DENY is central to counter-vandalism, and the linked summaries don't give me much faith that it is going to be followed. I'm not declining this outright because I'd like a second opinion, but currently I wouldn't favor granting. Giraffer (talk) 12:25, 5 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Not done. I agree with Giraffer's concerns. Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a bit more experience, but I don't think we're there yet. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:18, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have been RC patrolling for over two months now. Clicking individual diff links to revert edits is very inefficient and unnecessary, and I believe having rollback could fix this. I've made over 200 edits to mainspace and have no history of edit warring. Seanwk :) (Talk | Contribs) 02:42, 20 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I am requesting rollback rights. I regularly revert vandalism and want to do it more efficiently. I understand how rollback works and will use it carefully. ACROM12 [TALK] 11:52, 24 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. This may seem on the harsh side for a fairly trivial permission but it's just not the case that you regularly revert vandalism. I went through your last 500 edits and didn't see any real history of reverting vandalism; you've never edited AIV and you've only made two protection requests ever. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:41, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have been RC patrolling using Twinkle, Ultraviolet and VandalHandle. I've made over 200 edits to mainspace and have no history of edit warring. ~~~~ VitorFriboquen :] (Talk) 21:37, 2 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have over 4,500 edits and I've actually been on for just a little less than a year now and have some good experience of reverting vandalism. I have patrolled the recent changes and have reverted some bad faith edits. I have run into a few times where I would have liked to be able to revert the full vandalism someone made so I would like to have rollback rights to do so. Thank you, Floating Orb Talk! my edits 22:22, 2 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. I'm gonna give you a trial until the end of January. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:50, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@HJ Mitchell, thank you! I will use it well. Floating Orb Talk! my edits 22:40, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I would like to request rollback to remove vandalism more efficiently. I have over 900 edits most of which are from RC patrol. I have no history of edit warring, and always warn users if they vandalise pages. I would like rollback rights to use AntiVandal. Thanks. SuperCode111 (talk) 00:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Not done. Sorry, but your last request was denied because you were very new to recent changes patrolling and this request was made only just over two weeks later. You just don't have a long enough track record yet. I would suggest applying again when you have at least a couple of months of experience. Some experience at AIV and RFPP and other backroom areas would stand you in good stead. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 18:56, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
My last request was denied because I didn’t meet the criteria of "at least a month patrolling RC", but I started patrolling on the 5th of November, and when I made this request I had been patrolling for about a month. SuperCode111 (talk) 22:43, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have been dealing with a long term IP vandal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/220.255.60.227/Archive) across several articles and this permission would be of great help. Thank you. Aleain (talk) 07:31, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 08:17, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I have dealt with vandalism since I first made this account. I need this permission so I can easily identify suspicious editors. Scoophole2021 (talk). 15:55, 7 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I work on NPP and AFC and this would assist in my work there, as identifying any issues with the past behavior of a TA can be a bit of a black box. More importantly, several articles and topic areas I work on and have watchlisted receive specific patterns of vandalism and problematic BLP editing on pages of contentious fringe political BLPs that are difficult to detect and report without IP access. Having TAIV access would help me identify these issues and report these issues to the proper channels. I agree to abide by the policy set for usage of the right.

going through page histories, i often have to revert all the edits of a user. taiv would help to find the problematic edits of temporary accounts. ltbdl (activate) 05:33, 8 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

While I'm generally pretty liberal in terms of giving TAIV, [10] gives me a bit of a pause especially because the unblock was barely a month ago. I'll let other folks comment, but I'm leaning no purely based on the recency of the block (especially since one of the benefits of TAIV would be to hide LOUTSOCKing better).
