Add "edituserjson" permission to ruwiki's "engineer" usergroup
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT
Actions

Description

Since 2018 ruwiki has an "engineer" usergroup for technical admins, its users got the same "editprotected" permissions as admins. When "interface admin" group was created, there was created several new permissions like "editsitejs" and "editusercss", most of them was given to IA only, "editsitejson" was given to admins and engineers, but "edituserjson" was given only to admins, but not engineers. It's look like an error in permissions' management and we request to add "edituserjson" permission to engineers too.

There is community consensus for this change - Iniquity is the only user who who didn't understand what happened in this edit, but technically literate ruwiki users explained this to him.

People don't usually engage in tag wars here like you do. So I’ll just inform the person who will take on the task, so that before implementation, be sure to look at who summed up the discussion. A person should not be @MBH.

@Ammarpad Ruwiki's bureaucrat Vladimir Solovjev posted a summary on discussion https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:Форум/Общий#edituserjson_для_инженеров and decide to add this permission to engineers usergroup, so please merge your patch.

From the looks of the discussion it seems it is indeed closed by a 'crat but I can't read Russian and only guess this based on Google Translate. Can one of you confirm this? @Iniquity or @stjn

The discussion did not garner much attention, but most of the opposition was unrelated to the topic (mostly people complaining about T326065) and the bureaucrat wrote up that since engineer group has editsitejson, there’s no particular reason why edituserjson wasn’t bundled (and there is consensus for it). I supported that write-up.
