*Section 1: intro - nothing to determine

*Section 2: Turning the extension on - This has consensus, though not an overwhelming strong one. While there are more "votes" in support, the subsequent discussion noted questions and concerns from editors who did not "vote", but which should be taken into account as (as we all know) [[WP:CON|consensus is not a vote]]. The comments in the subsequent section 3 were taken into account as well. So '''there is consensus to "turn on", but with restrictions/reservations'''.

*Section 3: Configuring the extension

**3.1: Configure for exclusive Wikipedia Education Program use - '''No consensus''' - There is general consensus to restrict in "some" way, but not necessarily in the way presented in 3.1

**3.2: Configure for any use by anyone, subject to approval by an admin or other trusted user - '''Consensus'''.

**3.3: Configure for use by any autoconfirmed user - '''No consensus'''

**3.4 Configure the administrative roles to be managed by bureaucrats - '''Opposed'''. (And it may or may not be worth noting that the only [[WP:CRAT|bureaucrat]] who commented, opposed this.)

**3.5 Configure some other way - no comments

**3.6 Discussion - There are suggestions for what requirements/crieria the user-rights noted in 3.2 should have prior to granting, but that can be discussed/determined in subsequent discussions, and this closure should not be considered to support/oppose how that should be done.

To sum up: There is consensus to "turn on", and strong consensus to implement the user-rights system as noted in 3.2. And subsequent discussion is '''''recommended''''' concerning what should be required for the granting of the user-rights in question. - <b>[[User:Jc37|jc37]]</b> 19:29, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
