Wiktionary:Whitelist

For the spam whitelist, see MediaWiki:Spam-whitelist.

This “whitelist voting” page is a mechanism for proposing and publicizing the addition of a user to one of the following groups:

• Autopatroller
• Extended mover
• Patroller
• Rollbacker
• Template editor

The principle is to have as “lightweight” a vote as possible without succumbing to any one person’s whims. The existence and purpose of this page were made official by Wiktionary:Votes/pl-2008-09/Whitelisted users autopatrol; the details of its functioning are fairly well established now, but still not official per se.

See also: Special:Log/rights.

Procedural notes

Procedure:

1. One administrator nominates a user for a particular user group.
2. A second administrator approves the nomination and adds that user to the proposed group using Special:UserRights.
3. Any administrator can recommend a defer to a nomination; after a week, the nomination may be repeated.

Archiving:

The guidelines are: remove entries here that are stagnant for two or more weeks. Remove whitelisted entries after a couple of days.

  • Nominated by: Another voted bot owner, thus already having autopatrol and extended mover on the bot account (verifyable from Special:ListGroupRights). From his/her recent moves and deletion taggings, being able to move without redirect might be useful. Svārtava (tɕ) 07:44, 1 February 2025 (UTC)
