User:Pilk/grouprights/new

Proposed new user group rights. Each group has the listed rights and all the rights in groups above it.

New groups

All

• Read pages (read)
• Create new user accounts (createaccount)

Users

• Purge the site cache for a page without confirmation (purge)

  • Mark edits as minor (minoredit)
  • Create discussion pages (createtalk)
  • Create non-talk pages (createpage)
  • Modify pages using the write API (writeapi)
• Upload files (upload)
  • Overwrite existing files (reupload)

Autoconfirmed

Note: We proposed 10 days and 200 edits to become "autoconfirmed"

• Useless: Edit semi-protected pages (autoconfirmed)
• Perform captcha triggering actions without having to go through the captcha (skipcaptcha)

Moderator

• Move pages (move)
  • Move pages with their subpages (move-subpages)
  • Move files (movefile)
  • Option to supress redirects when moving pages and files (suppressredirect)

  • View deleted revisions (deletedhistory)
  • Search archive of deleted pages (browsearchive)
• Block other users from editing (block)
• MediaWiki:Right-editusercssjs (editusercssjs)
• Mark others' edits as patrolled (patrol)
  • Have one's own edits automatically marked as patrolled (autopatrol)
• Not have minor edits to discussion pages trigger the new messages prompt (nominornewtalk)

Robots

Bots can only be run by editors with moderators rights or higher. Bots have all moderator rights plus these exclusive permissions (admins do not have these rights):

• Be treated as an automated process (bot)
• Use higher limits in API queries (apihighlimits)
• Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimits)

Administrator

• Block a user from sending email (blockemail)
• Edit the user interface (editinterface)
• Import pages from other wikis (import)
  • Import pages via a file upload (importupload)
• Move root user pages (move-rootuserpages)
• Quickly rollback the edits of the last user who edited a particular page (rollback)
  • Mark rolled-back edits as bot edits (markbotedits)
• Not be affected by rate limits (noratelimit)
• View a list of unwatched pages (unwatchedpages)
• Bypass IP blocks, auto-blocks and range blocks (ipblock-exempt)

Bureaucrat

• Edit all user rights (userrights)
• Merge users (usermerge)

Removed rights

These rights were removed because they aren't set up to be used by us:

reupload-shared

shared repository not set up or inaccessible

newusers

unknown function

uploadlocal

we don't have FTP access (for good reason)

proxyunbannable

open proxy blocker disabled (for good reason)

bigdelete

bigdelete criteria not set up

trackback

trackbacks not set up

upload_by_url

not enabled in config

Due to the unknown nature of these and their non-necessity in the operation of the wiki, it might make sense to add these to a "Valve" group which has these rights plus every other right.
