 | This proposal has become dormant through lack of discussion by the community. It is inactive but retained for historical interest. If you want to revive discussion on this subject, try using the talk page or start a discussion at the village pump. |
This is a proposal which can be of a great help to users who are not admins. A member of a particular user group; example Autopatrolled; can give permission to other users who were not in the user group till that time. Abusing this right may lead to a Indefinite blocks or any other type of hard block as per the situation arises. There may be some warning templates for those who misuse the tool.
Guidelines
[edit]- A member of a particular group should check the user's contributions very carefully before giving out permission.
- A Non-admin should not give out permission to brand new editors.
- Giving out rights to a user because they are friends in real-life will not be tolerated.
