Requests for Permissions Archives
  • Close discussion with {{closed}}/{{end closed}}
  • Requests should be moved to subpages at Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/User Name

All rights available on Wikibooks are handled here, including autoreview, reviewer, importer, import uploader, uploader, temporary account IP viewer, administrator, interface administrator, bureaucrat, CheckUser, pseudo-bot, and bot flags. A nomination must demonstrate how the project will benefit from granting the rights.

Nominations
To nominate a user (including yourself), add their username to the appropriate section below. Please explain why you feel the nominated user would be a good choice. All registered Wikibookians may comment, and provide arguments in support or opposition. For the bot flag, technical information about the bot may be requested. See the specific requirements for each type of access on their respective pages. Please do not nominate other users unless they have already agreed to be nominated.
Outcome
Consensus does not need to be demonstrated —though discussion is welcome— in granting autoreview, reviewer, importer, and uploader flags. Administrators may use their best judgement in granting those. Interface admin was historically part of the administrator tool set and is granted on request to administrators. All other tools require community consensus and can only be granted by bureaucrats. Access to CheckUser is governed by CheckUser policy. After about one week, if there is consensus to grant access, then a bureaucrat (or steward if there are no bureaucrats) will make it so and record the fact here. If not, the bureaucrat or steward may refuse to grant the rights and the request will remain until a consensus is reached. The importer and import uploader permissions require a 5-day discussion before the right(s) can be granted.
Note(s)
This project allows global bots, but otherwise does not allow automatic approval, nor does it utilize the standard bot policy.
