Autopatrol-related rights changes
Hi. Petrb suggested that I should mention here that I've added a change to operations/mediawiki-config in Gerrit which would allow admins on MediaWiki.org to grant the currently unused Autochecked group. It also grants autopatrol to all groups who already have autoreview. You can find the change in 11748. If anyone actually has any objections please make a comment. Thanks. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 20:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely support I wanted this a while ago, but I was told we need a consensus for that. Petrb (talk) 20:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Who told you that? MediaWiki.org is controlled by the MediaWiki developers, not community consensus like the other WMF wikis. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 20:58, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Another developer told me that Petrb (talk) 21:00, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * While yes, we are controlled by developers, All configure changes should still be discussed in some form, Minor stuff is ok in the IRC channel whilst bigger stuff should be done on wiki to gather some form of consensus. Peachey88 (talk) 23:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Support; developers are not supposed to be bound by consensus.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:33, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * What ever has given you that idea?. Peachey88 (talk) 23:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Probably the header on Project:Requests: "unlike most Wikimedia sites, this site is controlled by the MediaWiki developers, not its own community". -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 23:56, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Consensus between developers should be IMHO required, but I see no reason why we should consider any comments from non-developers Petrb (talk) 08:47, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Example: community of developers decide to make a change, someone else (for example a steward) come to this page and oppose the change. In this case we could probably ignore that oppose as long as no one from devs agree with that or consider it a reason to oppose Petrb (talk) 08:50, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Putting my support down here as well. -- Skiz zerz  23:52, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * +1 from me too.-- Frigotoni ... i'm here ; 10:02, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Merged by Hashar (11748). Krinkle (talk) 20:43, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Except it looks like it didn't fully work. The correct groups gained autopatrol but admins can't add the autochecked group. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 21:00, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think I know why. See 12533. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 21:13, 21 June 2012 (UTC)


 * ✅ change merged by Reedy. -- Krenair (talk &bull; contribs) 20:57, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
