Wikibooks:Requests for permissions/Chapka

(Reviewer)
I'd like to contribute to a particular book: Irish, the Irish language book, which seems to have been orphaned for a few years now. The book needs a lot of reorganizing--it looks like it started life as one giant text dump page, then was split into a few smaller pages, then abandoned. I'd like to create a reasonable structure, then try to get the (very active) online Gaeilgeoir community involved to turn it into something useful and active.

I'm doing what I can in the current structure but a lot of pages really need to be merged, split up, renamed, or moved to subpages, and I don't have the permissions to do that. I can see the Move tab on Wikipedia pages but not in Wikibooks, so I assume this is a permissions problem. If Reviewer isn't the right permission, I'd like to request whatever the lowest level of permissions is that lets me move pages. Chapka (discuss • contribs) 08:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, . A few thoughts.
 * Welcome! There's no problem with you just going ahead and editing; don't worry overly, for now, about review.  You seem like a promising new Wikibookian, and I recommend you just move forward (judiciously, of course, but it sounds like you're doing that) with your plans; I've adopted a book myself, a time or two.
 * The wiki software is supposed to automatically promote users to reviewer after they've done a moderate amount of content-editing here, spread out a little over time. The theory is that they'll have picked up a bit of the local culture by then and so are more likely to wield the reviewer privilege in a way consistent with the local culture.  If that part of the wiki software were working right, you can see the criteria at Reviewers.  You're not close yet; you've only been here, what, a few days?
 * When you figure you satisfy the criteria, remind us by asking here again; since that part of the software stopped working right, we've been doing supposed-to-be-automatic promotions by hand.

 * Also to note: will be automatically promoted to autoconfirmed on 2020-06-11 14:14 UTC; after that date moving pages shouldn't be a problem, as they will gain the 'move' and 'movestable' rights. So if you can just hang on until then things should sort themselves out. -- Jules  (Mrjulesd) 15:44, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
