Restrict publishing to main namespace on enwiki for users outside "extendedconfirmed" group
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

In T192144, configuration was added to allow restricting certain user groups from publishing to main namespace.

English Wikipedia has Abuse Filter rule to try achieving the same effect of restricting publishing to main namespace to users inside "extendedconfirmed" group.
That restriction should be transfered to enwiki config, now that we have structured way of doing these restrictions. Whether abuse filter rule and message override will be removed is not the scope of this ticket, but would be the desired outcome after configuration change.

Users seem to still get confused about why they cannot publish according to this comment.

Still not deployed

I've applied patch on CX2 Labs instance. So, it blocks all users except are in extendedconfirmed from publishing. By default, new user or existing users are not in that group. Ask me if someone want to test and add themselves into group.

This ticket's scope was reduced from identifying wikis with publishing restrictions and adding configs for those wiki to only doing it for enwiki. Therefore, I changed the title and description and created T223495 for other wikis.
