--- Comment #15 from billinghurst <billinghu...@gmail.com> --- I too believe that this request should be put on hold. 1) Above, it talks about Wikipedia users, though it talks about Wiktionary, so there is that uncertainty to remedy first, though it may be a slip of the tongue. 2) For a small wiki with 24 active users[1][2] to get 16 yes votes in the span of three-four days, when numbers of those users have next to nothing in the way of contributions, one has to and should question the validity of the process as representing the community will. 3) The site itself does not seem to have a clear requirement for patroller and person-bot rights. Autopatrolled would seem to be sufficient to manage their requirements. They are not a big wiki, and many of the big wikis don't do these things. It has taken the wiki the best part of a week to get 500 edits, it does not seem that burdensome. You can allocate bot rights, and there doesn't seem to be the demonstrated need for person-bot rights in a review of your RC. Re Kolega's comments. One of the reasons that there are stewards is to look to assist communities with the application of rights. The history of rights allocations has been problematic when they are over-allocated to small communities, and the control of a few people. We see things become about ownership. Rights that grow organically and naturally with the community have seem to be that have worked best. Rather than rights thought to be a good idea to make a community or the bureaucrats seem to justify their positions and elevate a level of unnecessary importance.
