Stop the presses... The interface admin proposal has at long last been closed. The process for admins requesting the right will be as follows:
- Venue: WP:BN
- Process: Admin makes a request, with a rationale, at the correct venue, to request access to the permission. The request will remain open for 48 hours for first-time requests. Re-admin requests, not under a cloud, will not have a waiting period. No notice at other noticeboards is required. Bureaucrats may inquire about why admins are requesting access at their discretion. Users may discuss the applicant, but the final decision rests with the reviewing bureaucrat.
- Duration of right: Permanent by default, can be temporary if requested.
The closer, Cyberpower678, also laid out a process for nonadmins to request the right, but it is not active right now, per the consensus on another RfC. More info is available at WT:INTADMIN and WP:INTADMIN. pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 13:21, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
