Change Details

OAuth consumer registrations should not be blocked by a human approval process. I've been waiting on approval for a consumer for over a week now and I've had similar problems in the past. This is disruptive to my development work and (I'm pretty sure) not necessary. Expected behavior: OAuth registration requires no approval (like Twitter, for example) Actual behavior: New OAuth consumer registrations take weeks or more to be approved. -------------------------- **Version**: unspecified **Severity**: normal

Low-risk OAuth consumer (app) registrations should not be blocked by a human approval process. Waiting on approval for a consumer for days is disruptive to development work and often not necessary. The current working definition of "low-risk" includes consumers which only use the following grants: * //User identity verification only, no ability to read pages or act on a user's behalf.// * //User identity verification only with access to real name and email address, no ability to read pages or act on a user's behalf.// * //[[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:ListGrants#basic|Basic rights]]// This is expected to be further discussed and somewhat widened over time. See also: * {T290790} * {T159789} (for somehow indicating to the user that their choice of grants will result in more delay)
