Deprecate `wgSysopEmailBans`
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

$wgSysopEmailBans should be deprecated and removed:

  1. Its name is misleading; it must be true for any user to be able to ban a user from using their email
  2. Finer control is available via $user->isAllowed( 'blockemail' ) - for all user groups to be prohibited from banning emails, just set $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['blockemail'] = false; - as of now, sysop is the only group given this rights in DefaultSettings.php

Hopefully this will be merged into 1.34 before the version is cut, and then it can be hard deprecated (i.e. removed) in a month
