==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]],
<!-- Message sent by User:Bosco@wiki-mw_ using the list at https://testwiki.wiki/index.php?title=Test_Wiki:Administrators%27_newsletter/Subscribe&oldid=65859 -->
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 unnecessary rights.
