Hello, Please could you add the "Flood Flag" right to the wiki. It needs to be given and removed by Administrators, and when a user has it their edits do not appear in recent changes, similar to a bot flag. Please see the discussion at http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simple_talk#Flood_Flag_Proposal We are requesting it because we have recently had several admins flooding recent changes with AWB edits and no 'crat has been around to give them a bot flag. Thank you very much, Bluegoblin7 http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bluegoblin7
To add the code that we need adding is something like that that follows: $wgGroupPermissions['flood']['bot'] = true; $wgRemoveGroups['sysop'] = array( 'flood' ); $wgAddGroups['sysop'] = array( 'flood' ); In the first line 'flood' and 'bot' may be the wrong way around. Thanks, Bluegoblin7 http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bluegoblin7

I would suggest that the Simple English Wikipedia community clarify what they want, and then ask for it unambiguously & any shell users looking at this wait until then. In fact, I will remove the 'shell' keyword until someone confirms what the community is actually asking for. Thanks.
This proposal is not ready yet. We have to wait for a consensus.
This is what they want: $wgGroupPermissions['flood']['bot'] = true; #creates the "flood" group with the "bot" right $wgGroupsAddToSelf['sysop'] = array('flood'); #sysops may add the "flood" group to themselves $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf['sysop'] = array('flood'); #sysops may remove the "flood" group from themselves $wgRemoveGroups['bureaucrat'] = array('flood'); #add this to whatever 'crats can already remove; it lets bureaucrats remove the "flood" group from users Updated URL field to show consensus.
done.
