Description Emanuele Casadio 2008-12-09 13:08:36 UTC
At the moment bureaucrats have these (extra) technical abilities:
* promote other users to administrator or bureaucrat status; 
* grant and revoke an account's bot status; and 
* rename user accounts. 

Why don't bureaucrats have the ability to flag a user as an "Importer" (both transwiki import and upload import)? At the moment this task is performed by stewards.
Comment 1 Danny B. 2008-12-09 17:04:27 UTC
This should be brought rather to Meta or Wikitech-l.

I assume it's because file upload is potentially hazardous and in fact is not necessary for anything except when new wikis are created for transferring them from Incubator or Betawikiversity.

I expect this to be either WONTFIXed or INVALIDated, so again suggesting to bring it to one or both places mentioned above.
Comment 2 Mike.lifeguard 2009-03-06 14:48:58 UTC
Until people actually agree to do this, it's invalid.
