I have registered two OAuth consumers: Wiki ViewStats Test [1.0] and Wiki
ViewStats [4.0] - both with current status: proposed.

So far, so good. What I didn't find in the docs was

1. that it works fine with your own account, but gets rejected with any other

That's intended functionality, so that you can use the grant under your own account to continue to test and develop your application while your application to be an OAuth consumer is handled.

2. what to to do in the next step to get an approval

Is there a written process? A submission form for approval? Any special
requirements? code review? A need to submit a good-conduct certificate?

The exact process is still being developed. The draft of the guidelines is available here: [[meta:User:DGarry_(WMF)/OAuth_consumer_guidelines]]

Your request was approved, so that's that sorted.

There is a broader point you've made though, that we should make it clearer what the process is for people when they're applying. Thanks for pointing that out to us.

Closing in favor of the more specific T159788: Establish OAuth app policy for Wikimedia wikis and T159789: Include information about OAuth app review process and criteria into the interface. Feel free to reopen and add specifics if you think something else should be done.
