lore that falls under story approval (screenshotted below, you can find the actual thing on the admin notion publically available) is subject to admin approval. Admin approval is a process which requires all admins not on hiatus (excluding Tythus) to vote on something. Any singular denial is a denial from the entire admin team.

Most often this is any new lore, shelving old lore, or anything vaguely aengudaemon related 
Typically after lore voting, manager reviewing, and story admin approval, it goes to admin approval where all admins are required to vote on it and accept it to pass. In the case of shelving, a lore must be made case to shelf by/for management, get unanimous approval, go to the entire ST, get 80+% approval, go back to management, unanimous approval, and then go to admins for unanimous approval

There is a proposal to change this but it is currently not approved/being denied because of the inability of me+st management to compromise on lore being approved/shelved being admin approval because (in my opinion) of how difficult it is already to pass and prior instances of misuse of approval, and as well the extremely rigorous shelving process. 

I think this is fine to talk about and that I'm correct in my summary.

Larger lore pieces, like entire new magics / magic systems, CAs, etc., have to be voted on and approved by administration. For these, LT acts as something of a preliminary filter to ensure that nothing that definitely shouldn't pass gets to that point, along with providing changes they feel need to be made in order for a piece to be in an acceptable spot.nevermind squak beat me to it while i was typing and answered better than i could have anyways gg.
