Wikipedia:Template editor/Guidelines for granting


 * 1)  The editor should be a registered Wikipedia user who has been editing for at least 1 year.
 * 2)  The editor should have made at least 1,000 overall edits.
 * 3)  The editor should have made at least 150 total edits to the Template and Module namespaces.
 * 4)  The editor should have no behavioral blocks (including partial blocks) or 3RR violations for a span of 6 months prior to applying.

Additionally, an editor should have demonstrated a need for the right, as well as a familiarity with the care and responsibility required when dealing with high-risk template modification:  The editor should have worked on the sandbox version of at least three template-protected templates or modules.  The editor should have requested and had successfully enacted at least five significant edits to template-protected templates or modules.  The above items are merely guidelines. An administrator may choose to substitute other proofs of an editor's competence in handling high-risk template responsibilities.
