==Redundant user rights==

== Administrators' newsletter – January 2025 ==

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)

[[Newsletter:Administrators' newsletter|News and updates for administrators, bureaucrats, and stewards]] from the past month (December 2024).

: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)

+==Redundant user rights==
-== Administrators' newsletter – January 2025 ==
+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)
-[[Newsletter:Administrators' newsletter|News and updates for administrators, bureaucrats, and stewards]] from the past month (December 2024).
+:Dear @[[User:Tester|Tester]],
-<div style="display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap">
+: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.
