User rights on mw.org
Fragment of a discussion from Project:Current issues
Can't we just give the necessary rights to the bot group? I don't think we want to deal with requests for yet another permission. By the time we handle someone's request for confirmation, they'll probably already be autoconfirmed.
Though I'm wondering if we'd want to also give the rights to, say, editors. I mean, for example, say that Phe didn't have the 16 edits that he has here; would we really make him wait four days to move a page or upload something? (And for that matter, there's a developer with only 25 edits on mediawiki.org.)
