Although this is partly a technical question, this isn't really the
best place to ask, because a lot of what you want to know is up to the
community in question. I'm guessing you are referring to the English
Wikipedia (although you haven't actually said so), in which case you
need to ask on wikiEN-l or the Village pump or somewhere *first* -
this list is full of developers, whose role doesn't include passing
judgement on such things.
I believe the software does currently support granting such status,
though I'm not sure who has the technical ability to grant it, but I'm
sure if you ask for (and receive) *permission*, someone will tell you
how to ask for the actual setting to be made.
