Description p_simoons 2005-08-30 18:26:42 UTC
[[Wikipedia:Requests for rollback]].

It has been suggested that some users be promoted to an 'intermediary' class
between regular user and admin, and that these users can rollback (but not
block, protect, or delete).

It may be reasonable to disallow, or severely limit, page moves to users who are
NOT in this intermediary class, to block Willy on Wheels pagemove attacks.

Configuration issue, assigning to Wikimedia web sites.
Comment 2 Rob Church 2005-11-04 16:47:16 UTC
Resetting priority and severity to normal-normal. Please don't alter them again;
it's for us to decide that.
Comment 3 Tim Starling 2005-11-12 04:13:52 UTC
It's not just a configuration issue, you also need a UI for granting it and taking it 
away. It's not going to be useful if only stewards can grant it, is it? 
Comment 4 Rob Church 2005-11-14 10:36:06 UTC
An excellent point, certainly. Perhaps a clone of Special:Userrights that
bureaucrats can access, to add and remove the flag?
Comment 5 Rob Church 2006-06-24 13:50:39 UTC
There is now an extension in Subversion providing local bureaucrats with the
ability to grant/remove rollback rights from a non-sysop user. This would work
as a stop-gap measure until the user rights interfaces can be gutted and improved.
