(This is a draft)

I have seen a couple of lacking permissions and we could need changes to the wiki.

  1. Add Consul Permission: I have noticeably seen a couple of times where policies are bureaucrat-protected. However I can see and we could request to add the consul permission to prevent common bureaucrats from changing such policies especially major edits. As a result we can make a permission in between bureaucrat and steward but please this is not to be confused with the consul permission on Public Test Wiki on Miraheze. In addition, consuls could also add and remove interface administrator, abuse filter administrator, blocked from abuse filter, suppressor, CheckUser, non-steward CheckUser, non-steward suppressor, et al rights. We could also add a level of protection meaning "Allow only consuls" used for edit, move, protect, and delete. Abuse filter administrator rights are packed in the consul permission.
  2. Switching from reCAPTCHA to hCaptcha: I could have known that some MediaWiki sites used hCaptcha. reCAPTCHA is commonly used, however since Google's services and products are banned in China, due to its strict policies by the Great Firmware of China, reCAPTCHA being one of them, hCaptcha is available even in China, so try it, hm? Instead of users having to be requested in China all the time, it can reduce the amount of users to be requested or the requirement of using a VPN to not request an account and make an account all indepedently. You could switch it to Turnstile, but there are some restrictions on Turnstile since this is owned by Cloudflare, and it is a CAPTCHA alternative. And do not try to use e-CAPTCHA because it is a fake CAPTCHA.
  3. Reinstate Researcher Permission: To be available for testing and could be granted to or revoked from non-admins. It can view deleted history and pages.
  4. MassMessage sender permission add: To be available for testing and could be granted to or revoked from non-admins. Sends mass messages.
  5. Add flooder permission: To be available for certain tasks for administrators, for example, blocking many proxies or deleting a huge amount of spam pages, anything that is not controversial.
