I would like the 'template editor' right from Wikipedia to also be added to Wikiquote, however it would be called 'template administrator' instead. I would also like that anyone with this right could self-revoke it at any time without the need of a bureaucrat or steward.

In the future, please always follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requesting_wiki_configuration_changes when requesting site configuration changes for a Wikimedia website. Thanks. Please do not set Due Dates for no reason if you don't plan to write a patch yourself. Thanks.
If anybody would like to create a software patch to resolve this request, please see Developer access and the Gerrit tutorial. The file to change for this request is InitialiseSettings.php. Please do note that providing help with Git/Gerrit is out of scope for Phabricator tasks. Thanks.
@Aklapper Is there any way for a user to choose the name of the right they want to be called? (e.g. some might want to go by "template administrator", while other may want to go by "template editor")
Waiting for consensus to form at https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Village_pump#Add_template_editor_right 🙂
Eh, a discussion which is less than a week old (and has only really seen support since the 14th) feels a little on the light side — it's probably worth leaving it a few more days at least
There's 12 sites already implemented such restriction level with name templateeditor, so it would be great to keep such canonical name as group name. The name of this group may be customized in MediaWiki:Group-templateeditor on-wiki, however.
There is consensus. Four actual users support. There are only two that oppose:
- One of them has never edited here and there vote was removed.
- Is very new here and only joined a few days ago.
While the rest have been here for much longer.
On-wiki discussion explained why this adds lots of additional on-wiki work (unclear who to perform that) which voters may not have realized when voting
Proposer has been locked among all Wikimedia projects and no one wish to push forward this configuration change request, so boldly close it as declined.
