==Redundant user rights==

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. <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-weight:bold;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px cyan">[[User:Tester|Tester]]</span> ([[User_talk:Tester|ᴛ]]•[[Special:Contributions/Tester|ᴄ]]) 16:50, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

:Dear @[[User:Tester|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, [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk: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. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 17:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Thank you. <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-weight:bold;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px cyan">[[User:Tester|Tester]]</span> ([[User_talk:Tester|ᴛ]]•[[Special:Contributions/Tester|ᴄ]]) 08:34, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

* Following an [[Test Wiki:Community portal#Alternate proposal: Restricted group and abusefilter sysop group|RfC]] at the community portal, two new user groups — [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Abuse filter administrators (abusefilter-admin)|abusefilter-admin]] and [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Users blocked from the abuse filter (abusefilter-restricted)|abusefilter-restricted]] were [[phab:rMW350c653c0f7d03fba0a10db97207d7d26f206957|created]]. These rights can only be assigned by following a vote on the [[Test Wiki:Community portal|community portal]] and/or at least two stewards supporting it.

:There is no reason to keep this hidden, it can therefore remain visible. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 16:44, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

+==Redundant user rights==
+Hey! I'm curious if it's okay to have redundant user rights&mdash;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. <span style="font-family:Courier New;font-weight:bold;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px cyan">[[User:Tester|Tester]]</span> ([[User_talk:Tester|ᴛ]]•[[Special:Contributions/Tester|ᴄ]]) 16:50, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
+:Dear @[[User:Tester|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.

+::'''''Note''''': if a steward has given permission, to grant 'bureaucrat' to an alternative account, then of course it is allowed. [[User:Drummingman|Drummingman]] ([[User talk:Drummingman|talk]]) 17:13, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

-* Following an [[Test Wiki:Community portal#Alternate proposal: Restricted group and abusefilter sysop group|RfC]] at the community portal, two new user groups — [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Abuse filter administrators (abusefilter-admin)|abusefilter-admin]] and [[Test Wiki:Abuse filter#Users blocked from the abuse filter (abusefilter-restricted)|abusefilter-restricted]] were [[phab:rMW350c653c0f7d03fba0a10db97207d7d26f206957|created]]. These rights can only be assigned by following a vote on the [[Test Wiki:Community portal|community portal]] and/or at least two stewards supporting it.
