Event Timeline
I was thinking that maybe OAuth is desired instead of BotPasswords for this wiki? OAuth is said to be more secure, right?

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2020-07-21T11:24:33Z] <urbanecm@deploy1001> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php: 7b96c7ea35557888c6cec2dd19768c246bff804b: Enable botpasswords at checkuserwiki and stewardwiki (T258358, T258355) (duration: 00m 57s)
Hello, I took the liberty to deploy this one, because even botpasswords are less secure than OAuth, they are more secure than using plain passwords, so it's still a benefit.
