Users may apply for the New Page Patroller flag at WP:PERM. Applicants are expected to have been registered for at least 90 days and to have made at least 500 uncontested edits to mainspace articles. This is similar to the application process to obtain rights as a Reviewer or Rollbacker, where the user's editing history is checked and, if appropriate, the right is granted by a reviewing administrator. Administrators are accorded discretion to grant the right even where the 90-day threshold is not fully met—typically done when a review of the person's edits indicate they are a strong candidate.
