New protection level and right to edit through it for eswiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Due to the total protection of the templates and modules used above 30,000 times in the wikipedia in Spanish, due to the events described in T271184#8577052, the Spanish Wikipedia community has reached consensus of adopting the "templateeditor" right, group, and restriction that was adopted at the time by en.wiki (T57432).

  • This new user group has to be addable/removable by bureaucrats.
  • It should include: editcontentmodel, oathauth-enable, tboverride and templateeditor rights.

Hi @LuchoCR , can you please confirm if only sysops (apart from templateeditors) should have the templateeditor flag, or if this is needed also for other usergroups? Thanks
