Description

The protection levels of the Hungarian Wikipedia is not optional. These are the current levels:

registered users only
autoconfirmed only
template editors and admins only
admins only

As you can see, only full-protection can defend pages from registered vandals, which causes that no one can edit the page except admins (or few template editors). However, the Hungarian Wikipedia is using Flagged Revisions and has trusted right, which is given by bureaucrats. A new protection level between autoconfirmed only and template editors and admins only would solve this problem and would be perfect for us.

trusted users (megerősített szerkesztők), bots (botok), editors (járőrök), admins (adminisztrátorok)

These four groups have autoreview right, but editors don't have trusted right and admins don't have editor/trusted right. With this new level, we could protect pages and edit by trusted users of the community in the same time. Would it be possible?

Create MediaWiki:Right-edittrustedprotected and put something like "Edit pages protected as "Allow only truested users"" there. Let me know then.

@Urbanecm Done.

Can you create MediaWiki:protect-level-edittrustedprotected with "Allow only trusted users" as well? Sorry for not remembering it when writing the previous message. Thanks!
