Set wgContentTranslationPublishRequirements for uzwiki
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello everyone,

Our community has reached a consensus to limit publishing articles using the ContentTranslation tool to certain user groups. Therefore, please add [ 'autopatrol', 'patroller', 'sysop' ] for uzwiki in the wgContentTranslationPublishRequirements config.

The community consensus can be found here.

Thanks.

Event Timeline

@Malikxan There is no 'autopatrol' usergroup in uzwiki. Did you mean 'autoconfirmed'?

@KartikMistry, I meant users with the autopatrol right. Since user groups should be included in the wgContentTranslationPublishRequirements config, please proceed with [ 'patroller', 'sysop' ].

@Malikxan Thanks for the clarification. I'll deploy this on Monday.

Change #1055653 had a related patch set uploaded (by KartikMistry; author: KartikMistry):

@Malikxan Thanks for the clarification. I'll deploy this on Monday.

I just check users with patroller rights: https://uz.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxsus:ListUsers&group=patroller and it seems only 3 users are having this right. Is this OK to restrict the tool to only 3 users?

Is this OK to restrict the tool to only 3 users?

Yes, that's the whole idea. The translation quality for Uzbek is extremely poor, and there's been widespread misuse of the tool. Initially, the proposal was to completely disable it. However, we've opted instead to restrict its use to trusted users. After the restrictions are in place, experienced users can apply for access, and each request will be reviewed individually.

Sounds good. I'll deploy this patchset tomorrow.
