Request for OAuth administratorship
I am interested in becoming an OAuth administrator. In lieu of a formal process for this (Requests for comment/OAuth handover was closed without consensus), I am asking here if there are any objections to this; if there aren’t, then after one week (10:35, 30 July 2026 (UTC)) I’ll just ask someone to add me to the group.
I know a bit about OAuth (e.g. m3api-oauth2 and mwoauth2 libraries) and have quite a bit of experience with tools at this point (User:Lucas Werkmeister#Tools). I’m also already an OAuth admin on the Beta cluster and have gathered some experience reviewing proposed OAuth consumers / clients there. I would like to help out with reviewing OAuth proposals on Meta, as it’s a task that needs to be done regularly which currently rests on relatively few shoulders as far as I can tell.

- Ping to a couple of active OAAs for any feedback: @Taavi and DerHexer:. — xaosflux Talk 12:37, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
- As I already said on the off-wiki conversation that led to this, I don't see any reason not to let Lucas handle these. taavi (talk!) 13:51, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
- +1 to this. --Zabe (talk) 15:47, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
Done per above (nb. I was prompted to look at this request) — TheresNoTime (talk • they/them) 16:23, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks! (As far as I can tell, the group that can add OAuth admins is System administrators, not Stewards, so I looked for one of the former.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 17:41, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
- FWIW stewards have the ability to do that. — xaosflux Talk 18:16, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
- Interesting, thanks! (I can’t figure out where that “comes from” in the MediaWiki config… the permission system remains mysterious.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 22:29, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
- In general, stewards can assign anything via the
(userrights)permission. As to WHEN we are supposed to do this, differs. No issue here as OAAdmin is niche and as you noted it never got a formal management process. — xaosflux Talk 23:01, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
