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.

Hi, I'm not sure how often the script to autopromote runs, but just thought I'd ask here in case the amount of unreviewed edits I have is causing my lack of autopromotion. There's a bit of a lack of activity on the chess openings wikibook that I've been editing, so I'm hoping to help go through the large amount of unreviewed edits and have my own be autoreviewed. I've been editing Wikimedia projects for over a decade (and quite active on Wikipedia this year in particular) so I'm quite familiar with how things work around sites like this already.

Dayshade, I've went ahead and only granted you the reviewer permission, which should contain the same right as the autoreviewed user permission, but it also allows you to review pages and edits, and use the rollback tool. Regarding rollback, please remember to use it only to revert obvious vandalism and spam, and not good-faith edits. Cheers. Codename Noreste (discusscontribs) 20:10, 21 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
