Restrict "changetags" userright to sysops and bots on Vietnamese Wikipedia
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

This task was supposed to be opened on October 29, 2024, but since Plantaest completely forgot (and so did I), it’s only being opened now.

Per local consensus on WP:AN (TNCBQV), there is no reason for regular users to have; on the contrary, they even use it to vandalism. Therefore, the community has agreed to restrict it to sysops and bots.
