Extract tag deletion permission from managechangetags
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

It would be useful if it would be possible to assign the permission to delete tags independent of further tag management because this is an irreversible destructive action. This would allow wikis to assign the managechangetags permission to less trsuted users than sysops.
