Thread:Talk:ResourceLoader/Version 2 Design Specification/Gadget developers/reply (7)

I was talking about user rights, not user groups. I think you will agree that the "gadgets-edit" user right should have no influence on the MediaWiki-namespace, it's not related to that.

How your wiki configures their user groups is entirely up to you. You can create the user group "Gadget developers" any way you like. Just like "Sysop" is a user group with a bunch of rights assigned to it (check Special:ListGroupRights).

It makes perfect sense for the user group allowed to edit gadget script/styles to also be allowed to edit interface messages, but configuring that is up to the wiki configuration.
