Consultation on the creation of a separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS reagh

New user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS reagh

Inactivity criteria - remove administrator rights reagh

Hi all!. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy the sysop Alison meet the inactivity criteria (please see [4]). If there is no response at all after approximately one month, stewards will proceed to remove his administrator rights. Thanks. DARIO SEVERI (talk) 08:54, 5 Luanistyn 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi everyone. Unfortunately, there are only two admins here now - myself and Mactíre and no bureaucrats other than myself. I'd like to retain these, and basically spend a bit more time here (agus ar an Vicipéid Ghaeilge freisin), so am petitioning the community here to retain these. Gura mie ayd! - Alison 23:50, 8 Luanistyn 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Editing of sitewide CSS/JS is only possible for interface administrators from now reagh

(Please help translate to your language)

Hi all,

as announced previously, permission handling for CSS/JS pages has changed: only members of the interface-admin (Interface administrators) group, and a few highly privileged global groups such as stewards, can edit CSS/JS pages that they do not own (that is, any page ending with .css or .js that is either in the MediaWiki: namespace or is another user's user subpage). This is done to improve the security of readers and editors of Wikimedia projects. More information is available at Creation of separate user group for editing sitewide CSS/JS. If you encounter any unexpected problems, please contact me or file a bug.

Thanks!
