@LuchoCR As I am not familiar with your language, I used Google Translate and I didnt find a line regarding explict permissions for botadmin, would you pick it out?

"Y el botadmin debería tener, además de los permisos mencionados de block y blockemail, los demás permisos que ya tienen el resto de bots (bot, noratelimit, skipcaptcha, apihighlimits, etc.)"

Thank you. But I think you shall gain the consensus about these newly added permission, because there is only one "strong support" after that line and not much more users who voted coming after it.

@Hamishcn, many veterans (including me) and sysops support the proposal; there is evident consensus to implement. As I proposed, the bot with those permissions should be operated only by a sysop, global sysop, global rollbacker or steward. We need to wait, but vandals will not.

I'd set patch to active and wait for review under this circumstance out of community.

But I strongly suggest you shall get the consensus for ALL configurations the community need before submitting a ticket.

The Spanish Wikipedia community approved the proposed amendments to the Bots Policy to regulate botadmins. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votaciones/2023/Reforma_a_la_pol%C3%ADtica_de_bots_para_regular_los_bots_con_permisos_administrativos

In addition, 23 days after the consultation on the permissions to be included in the new group, no objections were received to those mentioned at the time of opening this ticket.

I request that you please proceed with the enabling of the user group.

@LuchoCR Thank you for the update. I've already set the patch for enabling group to review on 24 Jul but no reviewer to check, and here I would @Aklapper for further assistance.

Cannot add much except for https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Gerrit/Code_review/Getting_reviews - sometimes reviews take longer :-(
