Redundant user rights[edit]
Hey! I'm curious if it's okay to have redundant user rights—in my view, they make it harder to see the actual change in the rights log because of the many user groups. Basically asking if I should continue to try to keep reduce redundancy of user rights around the wiki. Tester (ᴛ•ᴄ) 16:50, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Dear @Tester,
- Well, I see your point. We are a test wiki, so, testing with user rights is part of the testing process. I don't think we should be too strict if people start giving themselves redundant rights. So, I tend to say, "let them do it". As long as they don't grant bureaucrat rights to any alternate accounts (sockpuppet and bots), I think it's permissible to have redundant rights. Greetings, Drummingman (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
- Note: if a steward has given permission, to grant 'bureaucrat' to an alternative account, then of course it is allowed. Drummingman (talk) 17:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

RevDel[edit]
[1][2][3][4] These 4 revisions' visibility has been changed back-and-forth repeatedly. Could you confirm if they should stay visible, hidden or are okay the way they are currently? Tester (ᴛ•ᴄ) 15:59, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
- There is no reason to keep this hidden, it can therefore remain visible. Drummingman (talk) 16:44, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
