Line 126: # Simplest. If the workload gets too high, then we can look at broadening access.

I oppose the third option, in which any autoconfirmed user can get it. Please note that there needs to be some quality control in giving these permissions, because we don't want instructors simply to use Wikipedia as an easy place to dump students, as has started to happen recently. Anyone can, of course, come here and teach a class by having students work on pages, and they don't need anyone's permission to do so. But if we are going to give them extra tools to facilitate the project, we are entitled to expect them to show a willingness to work within Wikipedia's ways of editing (much as we require for someone who wants the rollbacker permission). I think there should be a basic requirement of having received a series of links in the general manner of a welcome template, and the person requesting the permission saying (their saying so should be enough, per AGF) that they have read it. --[[User:Tryptofish\|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish\|talk]]) 23:01, 23 August 2012 (UTC) #:''Added later:'' I would oppose the newer proposal, about having a community discussion closed by a bureaucrat, for each class project. That would be ''way'' too time-consuming. However, I would not object to an RfA-like process for anyone who is not already an administrator on the English Wikipedia who wants to be able to ''give out'' the permissions. --[[User:Tryptofish\|Tryptofish]] ([[User talk:Tryptofish\|talk]]) 20:14, 24 August 2012 (UTC) # I agree with Tryptofish. :) [[User:Banaticus\|Banaticus]] ([[User talk:Banaticus\|talk]]) 01:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
