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.

Koavf (discuss · contribs · count · logs · block log · rfps · rights) (nomination for administrator)

I would like to nominate Koavf for adminship. He is a seasoned and experienced user who holds admin rights (also interface administrator and bureaucrat) on multiple projects, including but not limiting to English Wikiquote, English Wikiversity, and more. If Koavf is granted the admin tools, he would be able to help with maintenance on this project, including but not limited to handling edit requests, deleting pages under speedy deletion criteria, blocking vandals and spammers, etc. I also believe that he would probably be able to handle the backlog of WB:RFD, since that area might be suffering from an absence of admins who are willing to tackle that backlog. Even if he has an intermittent pattern of activity here, I still believe that he would be a diligent asset to the admin division, willing to perform and handle these matters.

Thank you for the nomination, I'm honored and accept. CN wrote me an email writing that he would nominate me and I think it is because we have interacted on-wiki on several WMF wikis, but we don't have any real relationship and I didn't coordinate with the proposed nomination. I would also like to say that I would be motivated to continue doing some admin-adjacent tasks that I already do here, like basic maintenance and answering users questions and welcoming, as well as work that I do globally, like fighting vandalism (I am a global rollbacker and frequently get stewarda to globally block vandals). If anyone has questions/concerns, please let me know. I hope that others view me as a potential asset to the admin group and the general en.wb community. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 16:36, 4 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, all. I hope that I can be an asset to the community. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 19:04, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
