Would I be correct to assume that this would keep me from being able to usurp the name "Ched"? .. ty — Ched : ? 14:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Borderline - I'd lean towards granting it because it looks like most of the edits were either reverted or very slight copy edits. –xeno^talk 14:27, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK ... thank you Xeno. Let me think on it for a day or two. I don't want to make a decision on the spur of the moment. — Ched : ? 14:35, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Something to enjoy while you work

Welcome back! I hope all is well and things are back to some semblance of normality for you.

Oh, I'll let you know if things are back to normality once I have figured out what normality is. Thanks =) –xeno^talk 17:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question

How do you get user rights?The computer rocks! (talk) 17:50, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Most you can request at WP:RFPERM. Administrative or bureaucrat privileges are obtained at WP:RFA/WP:RFB. (And some of the higher-order privileges require special requests or applications.) –xeno^talk 17:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I want a bot-account flagged (policy-compliant, purely userspace ATM), where do I go then? :) Amalthea 01:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What for? Prodego ^talk 01:04, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mainly nominornewtalk in the near future. Amalthea 01:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mmm, then you would need the actual bot right. WP:BRFA. Prodego ^talk 01:16, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah? BOTPOL isn't actually clear on that. It says userspace bot tasks don't actually require approval (as long as they behave), and that accounts are bot-flagged upon request by a BAG person. BRFA isn't necessarily a part of it, I think, and a bot flag has some inherent features as well (apihighlimits, and having the edits properly marked in RC and watchlists) so that I don't think it should be. Amalthea 13:09, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is it just your own userspace? –xeno^talk 13:11, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, of course. Mine and bot. Amalthea 13:12, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
