Hi. It seems like no-one commented on your proposal, which makes me sceptical of the usefulness of this many separate groups. Is there a resaon you cannot elect people as administrators instead?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I saw that 1 user left his comments about my request, and it seems he also agrees with adding these special permissions.

That one comment says "I agree with this...Like my point was, if whats in English Wikipedia must apply in here and just translate all the things in English to Cebuano/Bisaya/Sinugboanon Wikipedia". If anything that strengthens Taavi's point ("Such requests sometimes seem to be motivated by the mere desire to have something that bigger wikis have rather than an actual need"). And Nhu_Gay_Me has not been active on cebwiki since February, so it's not clear if it's even still wanted by anyone.

I don't feel like I have the authority to decline this, but it probably should be declined. And I say this as someone generally very skeptical of Phabricator vetoing requests like that.
