User:Glaisher
I'm not that active here now but still do cleanup from time to time and there are times when this is needed. (eg: when a first edit to a translatable page is vandalism, it's not possible to delete that page entirely without translationadmin.) I've experience with this at meta and is quite active in translation administration there [//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=pagetranslation&user=Glaisher] and help other users with translation stuff sometimes. I won't limit my edits in this area to just vandalism cleanup though. Thanks, --Glaisher (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi. You're already a local administrator here. I don't understand why that's insufficient. I briefly looked at Special:ListGroupRights and I can't figure out why we have a separate user group. The administrator group should have the same rights as the translation administrator group. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:03, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see the translation administrators' rights in the admins' rights there.--Jasper Deng (talk) 18:08, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Right. We should fix that. --MZMcBride (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe that's because one could mess up lots of pages with translation admin rights and most users don't know have much experience in this area. --Glaisher (talk) 18:12, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * One could mess up lots of pages with local administrator rights too. :-) --MZMcBride (talk) 23:47, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Can we add translationadmin to $wgGroupsAddToSelf and $wgGroupsRemoveFromSelf for sysops then? This is the configuration at Meta-Wiki. --Glaisher (talk) 11:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm agree with this. --devunt (talk) 17:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
