Changes how the protection levels and user-rights work
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This would be a task that reminding you of the task T7346, at the moment that I did think that my wiki needs to have more protection options. But now, I think of another prototype for the extendedprotection. In the future, my wiki would also be writing about the makers of "Zodiac Classroom" and I did thinking about this: How about, rename the protection level from extendedprotection into quality only??

And also... based on T7368#146901, I would like to rename other user-right, then re-arrange them as the same as that task to make managing things look more efficient and simple.

@PiscesKazeMGR Hi, I'm a bit confused by your request. What protection level exactly do you need right now?

Change editextendedconfirmedprotected to editqualityarticles and make quality permission could edit these kind of pages.

Then change the orders of the protection levels to these (based on T7368#146901): all => logged-in only => autoconfirmed => quality => page author => sysop => bureaucrat

To clarify:

  • rename the editextendedconfirmedprotected restriction level to editqualityarticles?
  • rename the extendedconfirmed user right to quality?

as for order in list, I am not sure that is really something we can do.

Yes, I confirm it.

Thanks! Before I do that I would verify that no usergroup has the extendedconfirmed user right in it, otherwise if won't be able to remove afterwards.

It actually looks like the rignt and protection level are both editextendedconfirmedprotected. extendedconfirmed is set as a usergroup. So do you want the right to be editqualityarticles?

Before I do anything you will need to remove the editextendedconfirmedprotected right from all groups though (from Special:ManageWiki/permissions) as that will cease to exist afterwords.

I checked all of the possible permissions and done it.

OK, I will name the right editqualityarticles since the right must be the same as the restriction level.

It seems like editextendedconfirmedprotected is still present in the quality user group.

wait, did it!? I would be back soon.

OK, let me know when you remove it from the quality usergroup then I will immediately deploy the changes requested.

Done!

Changes should be live in a few minutes. The new userright can then be assigned to new user groups via ManageWiki.
