LEGO Message Boards Wiki:Requests for Rights Policy

On this wiki, three of the most important user rights are obtained through a request for rights process. This policy describes the different rules on requesting rights, and how to close those requests.


 * In order for a request to be valid, it must be made on the page specifically designed for the type of request. Requests made in forums, blogs, chat, or anywhere else are invalid, and will be deleted immediately.
 * When submitting a second request for the same right, be sure to place a (2) in the header, to let voters know this is your second request. The same should be done for additional requests. Also, make sure you have completed the mandatory waiting time specified in the following sections.

Closing a Request

 * If a candidate does not meet the requirements (listed below), then the request is considered invalid, and may be immediately closed by any user with administrator rights.
 * All requests may exceed no longer than 10 days, with a minimum of 5 days. After this time period, a request may be closed if a consensus has been reached. If the consensus is unclear, the request should last all 10 days, after which it should be closed.
 * A request is not required to last 5 days if the following requirements are met:
 * If the request has 10 or more oppositions, with at least a 75% majority oppose.
 * If the request has the required number of supporting votes (list below), and at least an 85% majority support.


 * An administrator may close any patroller or chat moderator request if the above requirements are met.
