Wikiversity talk:Candidates for Custodianship/Evolution and evolvability

Curator Voting
This is actually a request for Curator rights, which do not require a vote. The structure has not been completely revised since Curator was begun, but the concept was to have a bureaucracy-free status, where custodians can give or remove curator rights. Probationary custodianship, the original Wikiversity concept (which also did not require a vote) may have been deprecated but I don't know that this community ever accepted that. A custodian, however, may wish to solicit community comment before awarding rights, but it is the custodian's decision. --Abd (discuss • contribs) 23:03, 25 October 2017 (UTC)


 * What you describe regarding the initial Curator proposal is correct. What the community accepted in practice was nominations and voting. However, I would say that there is a difference between custodianship votes and curatorship votes in that custodians require support, while curators effectively just require a lack of serious objection. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 23:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
