The community of Spanish Wikivoyage has approved the creation of the 'revisor' (reviewer) role with the following:
Thanks in advance.
It is better to just fold rollbacker to the current patroller (Meta use such a combined group) instead of creating a brand new user group per T139246.
@Galahad So this new group has the permissions of current patroller and rollbacker, along with supressredirect, and editprotected (edit the pages protected at the highest level of admin protected (barring .js, .css, and .json files of course))? Also, the existing new roles of patroller and rollbacker are to be deleted.
Strictly, users with editprotected right can edit admin protected pages, but ''not'' pages in MediaWiki namespace (requiring editinterface), site/user JS/CSS, and pages that are itself cascade protected (require protect). Non-confirmed user with editprotected right can not edit semi-protected pages.
Exactly. The reviewer role will replace the old rollbacker and patroller roles. The role will be given to experienced users who are both auto-confirmed and auto-patrolled, so it won't be a problem for them to edit protected pages.
As you prefer, enwikivoyage also uses it in a similar way to Meta-Wiki.
Change #1151161 had a related patch set uploaded (by Bunnypranav; author: Bunnypranav):
[operations/mediawiki-config@master] core-Permissions:Create reviewer role on eswikivoyage, remove patroller and rollbacker
@Galahad commit has been created, will backport in a couple of days.
You'll have to create 3 pages in the MediaWiki: namespace for the new group:
MediaWiki:Group-extendedmover -> Revisor
MediaWiki:Group-extendedmover-member -> revisor
MediaWiki:Grouppage-reviewer -> {the page which documents this usergroup, something like https://es.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikiviajes:Maquinistas, but for this new group}
The pre-existed translations are (they exists without requiring the group to exist since they are defined in WikimediaMessages):
Yes, please do. (Although a mediawiki maintenance script may exist for it, I'm not sure)

I’ve removed them now via maintenance script (see the SAL entries above); the previous rollbacker and patroller members are available at the Internet Archive in case you need them.
