## User account has made a minimum of 300 edits to Wikimedia projects, and
## User account is not currently blocked from editing more than one Wikimedia project; if blocked on one project, that project cannot be the project where IP address access is requested.
# If there are local requirements applicable to the project, users must also:
## Meet all of the local requirements, and
## Submit a request on the project where access is needed.
When there are no local requirements, access is automatically granted for users who meet requirements 1–3. When there are local requirements, automatic access is disabled to allow the users associated with those projects to review requests.
==== Local requirements ====
Communities are encouraged to create local requirements. Local requirements must be more restrictive than the general requirements [[<tvar name="1">#point-3</tvar>|outlined in point three above]].
{{Hidden
|header= Examples of more restrictive requirements
|content=
* A higher minimum account age than 6 months,
* A higher minimum edit count than 300 edits,
* Limits on what edits qualify in the edit count minimum, such as:
** Only edits that are to the specific project
** Only edits to specific namespaces
** Only edits that have not been reverted
** Only edits that occurred within a certain time period
* No active blocks,
* Demonstrated evidence of previous patrolling work,
* Community election process, and/or
* Any other requirements as determined by the local community, so long as the requirements are not lower than the general requirements
}}
If local requirements have been created, they should be clearly outlined and include instructions on where users submit requests. Communities may choose to handle requests via an existing process or set up a new page. A [[<tvar name="1">:m:Special:MyLanguage/Requesting wiki configuration changes</tvar>|configuration change]] must then be requested in order to disable the automatic access grant.
==== Exceptions ====
Communities can set higher requirements on their own, but exceptions to set lower requirements must be approved in writing by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal Department. To request an exception, please email <tvar name="1">privacy{{@}}wikimedia.org</tvar> with an explanation and evidence of your community consensus on the matter.
