LifeWiki:Requests for user rights

__NEWSECTIONLINK__ Welcome to your mother's basement!

Handled here
These are the permissions that you can request here.
 * 1) Automoderated - The mods and admins won't have to moderate your changes; to request it, you only have to prove that you're not a blatant vandal.
 * 2) Autopatrolled - Like automoderated, but requires more scrutiny, you need to prove that you are a constructive editor, not just a non-destructive one. You also get the ability to mark edits and pages as patrolled and use the Page Curation tool.
 * 3) Bot - If you created a bot, request the bot flag.
 * 4) Chat moderator - They have the ability to moderate Special:Chat.
 * 5) Confirmed - If you are too lazy to make ten edits, request the confirmed flag here.
 * 6) IP block exemption - If you need to use open proxies, or need to edit from a blocked IP address, you can request this access.
 * 7) Reviewer and editor - Can review pending changes using Flagged Revisions. The difference between them is that reviewers can also tag edits as "quality", unlike editors, who can only mark edits as "checked".
 * 8) Rollbacker - Can easily revert the edits of one particular user.
 * 9) RPG editor - This flag allows you to edit semi-protected pages, including the RPG namespace.
 * 10) Template editor - This flag will allow experienced coders the ability to edit all pages in the template and module namespaces.

Handled at /Advanced
These are permissions that require a community vote before granting.
 * 1) Administrator (sysop) - They do admin things.
 * 2) Bureaucrat - Like admins, but more adminny.
 * 3) Interface administrator - Have the ability to edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace, as well as editing other users' JS and CSS files.
 * 4) Interwiki administrator - This permission allows you to edit the interwiki table. Can only be granted following a request by LifeWiki bureaucrats at Meta.
 * 5) Moderator (also junior admins) - Admins with slightly smaller mops, who can do content things.

Handled entirely separately
These are permissions that you cannot request on here or any other subpage.

Permissions you request at Meta

 * 1) Steward - This is a global group, that grants you local access on here to change all user rights.

Must be requested by contacting LifeWiki staff
These are permissions that can only be requested by emailing the LifeWiki staff team.
 * 1) CheckUser - This permission allows you to view the IP addresses of logged-in users. It should only be used to combat sockpuppetry and long-term abuse. This access is highly restricted, and cannot be granted by LifeWiki staff directly; only stewards can grant it.
 * 2) Oversight - Allows you to hide revisions even from administrators and bureaucrats, and is as restricted as CheckUser, and for the same reason; privacy.
 * 3) LifeWiki staff - This permission grants you full access to everything, but should almost never be granted to anyone.

Permissions that you cannot request
-
 * 1) Founder - For obvious reasons.
 * 2) Blocked from chat - Why is this even a permission?
