Hello,

I need to set up OAuth consumers for some bot accounts that I manage:

• User:Citation bot
• User:Citation bot 1
• User:Citation bot 2
• User:Citation bot 3
• User:Citation bot 4

However when I log in as one of these accounts and try to propose a consumer, I receive the message:

   You do not have permission to propose new OAuth consumers, for the following reason:
   The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Confirmed users.

Is it possible for an administrator to confirm these users so that I can propose the OAuth consumers, please? Thanks. Smith609 (talk) 13:19, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

I've set them as bots and confirmed here. I don't think that affects other wikis, though.

Many thanks for that. I forgot to add User:Citation bot test to the list, if you wouldn't mind confirming that one too. This'll let me get the tokens that I need to use the bots on en Wikipedia, I believe.

In fact, I've just visited Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose as User:Citation bot 4, and still receive the same error message. Any idea what may be causing this? Could the distinction between meta.wikimedia.org and www.wikimedia.org have any relevance?

I think you'd have to get the bots confirmed on meta, not here.
